 John Saxton of New York visited his broth. l CT, Arthur Saxton, last week. l A correspondent from here, in your last | number, takes exception at my remarks rela. | tive to schools and teachers. l had heard nothing respecting Miss Clark or her abilities, as she only commenced teaching as I sent my report. mentioned the fact ill relation to the 1 opinion of some respecting male principals. A | male principal is apt to draw more large far
 mer boys from the surrounding neighbor- hoods. I have heard only praise for the fe-
 male teachers, but they have only taught a term apiece, hardly long enough to have fair l trial. Mrs. Dr. Smith is well known as supe- rior teacher, having won her fame elsewhere, l and she accepted the situation of teacher here with reluctance and declined teaching longer. Miss Hunt did very well as far as have learn
 ed. l have always been the uncompromising g advocate of woman and her right to equal re-
 wards for labor with men, and I do certainly wish that the two million women in this coun- try who are working in different avocations for
 their support so nobly, had husbands and
 homes, men capable of being at the head of a
 family and supporting it, not in idleness. but
 with the reasonable industry of all the mem-
 bers which makes home beautiful and thrifty.
