Women as supervisors of Schools.

The State of Massachusetts, in 1874
passed an act of the Legislature making it
legal for women to hold Office on school
committees. The Hon. j. w. Dickinson,
Secretary of the State Board of Education,
in his remarks at meeting of the Massa-
chusetts School Suffrage Association, May
S1st, said that ninety-eight women were
serving as members Of school committees
in seventy two towns of the Common
wealth; that their selection is not due to
political influences, which not infrequently
put inefficient and uneducated men in
authority over schools, but are women in
telligent and highly educated, many of
whom have themselves been successful
teachers. He says that they work for a
smaller material compensation; that they
look at once after the sanitary condition of
the school houses and physical condition
of the children. They observe the man
ners of the pupils and the teacher, and his
style of school government. They are
quite sure to inquire for the method by
which instruction is communicated, and
for the extent to which the attention of
the children Is turned to the moral quality
of their acts. And the gentleman declared
that for this reason, if for no other, every
School Board should have at least one
woman among its members. Seven-eights
of all the teachers in the State are women,
and it would seem consistent to commit a
share of the supervision of the instructions
to women also
One Of the missions that women are to
the moral condition of society. The tone
of moral sentiment in the land depends
largely on the women of the land Il will
bear the character which they consent to
have it bear. Neither irreligion nor hypo-
crisy; neither coarse nor polished vice;
standard of honor, can prevail if they dis
countenance them. Pertness and foppery
would be driven by their contempt out of
existence; arrogant skepticism and a
superstitious faith would be rebuked by
their frowns; while purity of taste, lofty
sentiment, and simple but steadfast piety
would everywhere flourish under their
patronage. Wherever women are found
on the school boards they are active in
selecting good teachers, because they know
that teachers accomplish more by what
they are tian by what they do. They are
more inclined than their brothers on the
school boards to sympathize with the
teachers in their difficult and sometimes
discouraging labor. They often criticise
the schools severely, but with more in
telligent discrimination than the men, and
they seem inclined to cooperate rather
than to criticise. Their intuitions fire.
ouenfly lead to more ready and to wiser
judgments than do the seductive process
of the reasoning faculties And, finally,
they are inclined to perform the duties OF
their office so effectively and conscien-
tiously, and with so little regard to per-
sonal consequences, that they are often
excused from further service. on account OF

A CHASTITY Place.

There is one curiosity of Palermo
about which hesitate to disturb you.
If you were to see it, and let your mind
dwell on it, you probably would not
sleep for week afterward. OF all the
fantastic, ghastly, and sportiye dealings
with poor mortality that have seen in
my short pilgrimage the Conyent of the
Cappuccini furnishes the most astonish-
ing. In seeing it had new revelation
of the capacities of human nature for
indulgence in the horrible and the gro
tesque. From the convent we descended
into the subterranean corridors where
are exposed, not buried, the dried re-
mains of wealthy inhabitants of Paler-
mo. These corridors, of which there
are several, are arched, broad, WELL
lighted, and I should think each a
couple of hundred feet long. The air in
them is dry and apparently salubrious,
and one might walk through these wide
ais1es of death in comfort if he were
blind. On each side of these passages
are long boxes, piled one upon the 9TH
er; not coffins, but boxes, sometimes
with brass nails, and looking not unlike
old-fashioned hair trunks. You might
imagine yourself in an emigrant's bag
gage-room on steamer but for some
these boxes contains dead person.
The occupants of part of them, which
have glass fronts, are visible. There
they lie grinning in arrested decay, with
just enough dried skin and flesh on the
bones to preserve the semblance of hu-
manity. The poor desiccated bodies
have been forced into clothes, some
times into finery, and many in this aw-
full dress parade of death wear white kid
gloves and fine shoes. But this is not the
worst. Above these rows of boxes hang,
in all the limpness of responsibility for
appearance which characterizes the
dead, ranks of mummies, hung by the
neck, or attached in some way to the
walls of the vault. They are pretty uni
formIy clad in somber, monkish robes
of cotton, and but for the horrible faces
staring at you might pass for scare
crows.
The drying process has drawn the
faces into all ghastly contortions, in
which one might fancy that the real
character of the departed is revealed.
Some scowl, some grin with malevolence,
some smile-that Is worst of all-and
some actually assume comical look
that forces your unwilling laughter.

On To Denver.

To the weird beauty of the Rocky Noun
tains resorts, and health-giying quality of its
sparkling water and bright skies, as an in
ducement to the tourists and pleasure seek
ers for q summer trip TO Colorado, must be
added this season the attractions of the Nat
ionaI Mining and Industrial Exposition, the
interesting features of which are new, num-
erous, and varied. This grand exhibit of
mineral and geological specimens, together
with the best productions of mechanical and
industrial skill, opens August LIST for two
months.
The good news reached our table, in offic-
ial form, that the Chicago, Burlington &
