Woman's Work,

Mr.. Editor: / inclose you clipping from
a Philadelphia paper for which 1 hope you
can spare sufficient space to publish. L
have a number of times in my life been
called upon to solicit aid for charitable en-
terprises and have often been a witness of
that complacent conscience bargaining the
writer speaks Of l have also frequently
heard men attempt to relieve themselves of
the obligation of aiding personally in I'M
portant charities, by speaking Of them as
"women's' work, and who seemed to think
that putting their hands in their pockets
and giving small sum of money was the
hardest part of the work. While | some
times regret l was not born a man instead
of woman, yet when l consider the grand
work done by my sex in the worlds organ
lied charities, 1 am more than reconciled to
the often humiliating dependence upon the
other sex for the necessary means to carry
on these charities. Y.
Cecil county, Md, April 10th, 1888.
TOLL MADE a PLEASURE.
The newspapers have had recently
pleasant addition to their contents in the
reports of the Women's Convention in
Washington. Besides this matter of gen.
eral interest, the 'flocal newspapers have
constantly their notices of what the women
are doing in their organized associations for
the repression of evil and the promotion of
good in the world. All this is very excel
lent reading. But much remains unsaid
and unsung. AS in the proceedings of legis
lative assemblies, we get only a hint of the
real labor which is done in committees in
preparing work for the public ear, so these
public movements of the fair and indefatl-
gable sex only give MS a mere hint Of what
the women are doing "in committee" all the
time. Every household has it's workers,
and every well ordered house is a commit
tee room" in which the true conservative
influence is at work, and necessarily. The
growth of everything good in the world is
not with observation, but the secret springs
of true progress are most efficient in their
hidden sources.
If the statistics of women's quiet charit ia.
BILE industry could he collected and pub
lished the linen of affairs" who gently and
politely smile upon woman's work would be
not little surprised. If a man has fair
bank account it Is easy enough to draw his
check in answer to an application for char
ity. If he has fractional currency in his
pocket it is no great thing to dip into it;
and, the check drawn or the cash handed
over, he takes no further trouble in the
matter. He has eased his conscience, and
probably done more than that. He has pur-
chased self-complacency, and really bought
it at bargain. He has no thought or trou-
BILE in the matter. Especially is he free from
care if his contribution has been made at
the instance of some woman, who he in
stinctively understand knolos the merits of
the case.
But woman's charitable work is some
| thing more than arduous. In the first place
as she, by the usuages of society, is not sup
posed to have money always at command,

4 Teacher indicated.

| The most important matter before the
Board of School Commissioners on Tues
day last was the hearing of the appeal of
Miss Harriet L. johnson, teacher of the
public school at Bay View, who was dis,
missed by the trustees of the school on
the charge of bad discipline and inhuman
treatment of children in her charge. Miss
Johnson merely received notice of her re-
moval which was altogether unexpected,
and was not given hearing by the school
trustees. Tuesday had been named as
the day for the hearing of the case and
the trustees notified to be present. In
the absence of these or any witnesses for
the prosecution J. w. Falls, Esq, who
appeared for Miss johnson asked that the
charges be dismissed. The School Com
missioners while willing to do this adj
vised Miss johnson to have the matter
heard.
Miss johnson testified that she thought
the dismissal was owing to her having
administered corporal punishment to
grandson of one of the three trustees.
The boy who was about eight or nine
years old was whipped across the back
with small switch for misbehavior. He
was mischievous and she had found other
means of punishment fruitless. The chill
dren of two patrons of the school stopped
attending because she raped their hands
xuifh 1inhf If puidant that
it was the indignity of the punishment
and not the pain that caused their
leaving.
Harry H. Gamble, Norris R. Burns
and Charles johnson, three of the older
pupils of the school, the last named being
no relation to the teacher, testified that
the whipping of the boy was not severe
and corroborated their teacher. They
did not think that she punished as
severely, if as much so. as former teachers
and thought the order was good.
VIM. johnson, leading citizen of the
neighborhood, no relation to the teacher,
testified that she was from what he
heard very good teacher.
A petition was presented asking that
she be reinstated. 1t was signed by all
the patrons of the school excepting the
three whose children were punished and
one who was adverse to signing petitions
but was in full accord with it.
School Examiner Squier stated that
Miss johnson had been teaching for four
years aud there had been no previous
complaint.
The Commissioners resolved that the
charges against Miss Johnson of dad
discipline and inhuman treatment has
failed, there being no evidence to sustain
them, the testimony of the witnesses ex-
amined not only generating her but
showing good discipline in the school"
School No. s, Dist. No. 3, was ordered
to be closed for the spring term owing to
the small number OF scholars.
Rev. VIM. Schouler asked for the use
of school No. 9, Dist. No. 4, for religious
purposes, he agreeing to become respon-
sible for all damages.
