Notes

The March 1926 issue of The Home: An Australian Quarterly introduced a new column entitled 'The Clearing House'. Edited by Jean Curlewis, the column invited input from 'Australian town and country women' so that they might 'discuss the various important problems of their lives'. The journal proposed that it provide a forum for women - 'a clearing house of ideas' - whereby its pages should provide 'a debating club where the women of Australia can discuss their problems - not only the problems of the home, but of their towns, their schools, their clubs'. Suggested 'Themes for Discussion' included such topics as 'How Could We Develop the Community Idea in Australia', 'What Is a Home' and 'Big Shops versus Little Shops'. (pp. 16-18)
