Attractive and Practical Nur
T'HE constant problem of v/hat to
I * do to make the nursery attrac-
tive, and practical at the same time,
has recently been simplified
through the work of G. Rohde, a
designer of modern interiors and
furniture. His suggestions for nur-
sery furnishings were exhibited be-
fore the Child Study Association
this year and created a great deal
of interest. The illustration above
shows the simplicity with which he
has approached his work £>nd the
charming effect in pink and near
white. The drapes are white silk.
One of the most practical fea-
tures is the finishing of the wash-
able furniture in a lovely shade of
blue and the use of plum colored
waterproof coverings for chairs and
table. Fabrikoid, a waterproof lac-
quered fabric, is the material used
to cover the nursery table and the
chair seats adding considerably to
the color effect of the room in gen-
eral and also helping very much in
keeping it clean.

"My ambition has been to succeed in redeeming Texas from its wil-
derness state by means of the plow alone, in spreading over it North
' American population, enterprise and intelligence ”—(Letter from
_■ Stephen F. Austin to William H. Wharton, April 24, 1829.)
“The Province of Texas will be the richest State in our Union without excep-
tion.” This prophecy was made by the author of the American Declaration of
Independence (Thomas Jefferson) before Americans had begun to colonize
Texas. It was found in a letter dated May 14th, 1820, which Jefferson had
written to President Monroe.
The year Jefferson wrote that letter to Monroe, Stephen F. Austin began the
colonization of Texas. “My object is to build up for the present as well as for
future generations,” wrote Austin. “I think I derived more satisfaction from
the view of flourishing farms springing up in this wilderness than military or
political chieftains do from the retrospect of their victorious campaigns.”
Texas was founded by builders. Under Austin’s leadership they laid the founda-
tions in the wilderness, and under the leadership of Sam Houston they won
their independence, in order that they might build in freedom.
One hundred years of freedom will he completed in 1936. A century of build-'
ing has made the Texas of today. But Jefferson’s prediction has not yet been
fulfilled. We have inherited this great undertaking from our forefathers. Let
us rededicate ourselves to the task of carrying it forward by observing the
Centennial of Texas independence in a manner worthy of our traditions.
