The School Census.

David Simpson, who is engaged
in taking the school census Of the
Salem district tells us that he finds
many new people and that this
years census will be very much
larger than that of last. The 1888
list, returned March first last, gave
Salem 1896 children of school age,
between the ages of four and twenty.
The total population of the district
was 8242. This year Mr.. Simpson
thinks the total will reach if not
exceed 10000, while the school CEN
sus will show large increase.
These are pertinent straws, show
ing that Salem is receiving a good
share of the immigration. Still
there is room for many more here.

was a most attractive one. The at

was well rendered and very enter

w. G. 7. U. COLUMN.
Annual Meeting of the w. ca. U.


This society, which represents the
organized motherhood of our nation,
is ever an increasing wonder. The
world declared that woman's sphere
was the home, and for ages kept her
within the confning walls of a
house. So long as her loved ones
were safe when they left her pre-
cribed "sphere," she labored on,
content in the happiness of her fam
lily. But, alas institutions which
she had no hand in planting in that
Observation-Disclosures sphere, and of
which she was supposed to have no
knowledge whatever, were set
snare and digged ditch for the un-
wary feet of her children. 1t has
been increased devotion to her fam
lily which has caused her to beat
against the mortared brick of her
house, until, aroused unto conscious
ness of herself and her capabilities,
she has gone forth, without the
house, indeed, but not without the
home, for wherever she takes up her
abode, there we find the elements of
the home. She DEGREES to conquer,
not by going out of her Sphere"
but by enlarging it. This enlarged
work of woman is represented by
the forty different departments of
this enthusiastic and growing organ
1zation. The annual meeting was
held in the Metropolitan opera house,
of New York City, which, with its
large capacity, was filled to over
flowing. The address of Miss
Frances E. Willard, whose peer it
would be difficult to find as presid-
ing officer, was of unusual length
and interest, and treated of nearly
every question within the circum-
ference of needed reform, from the
doll question to national arbitration.
At the head of each department is
superintendent, who has given to
her charge the oversight and devel-
opment of that branch of the work.
The reports which came in from
these superintendents were such as
to incite animated discussions, but
in all there prevailed a spirit of har-
mony and good will. The member
ship of the society is two hundred
thousand strong. The national or
gan, the Union Signal, has sub
scription list of sixty thousand.
Perhaps the greatest immediate un-
dertaking is that of the Temperance
Temple, the thought and charge Of
Mrs. Matilda Corse, president of the
Chicago Union. 1t is to be located
at Chicago, built at a cost of $780,
10000, and to be used as national
headquarters. The convention was
in every way a success. The follow
ing comment was found in an east
ern paper: "These women surpass
every speaker we ever heard. Not
mere takers are they, but lecturers
of tremendous power, able to move
vast audiences, Their logic-yes,
logic, and: they women-is over
mastering, their eloquence is time
annihilating, and their presence
inspiring. We are commonly given
to talking of the moral power Of
great bodies of men. The moral
power of this convention impresses
itself upon every beholder. Even
an old reporter on the city press, sit
ting by us at the reporters table
leaned over to say, In all my life, [
have never witnessed so grand and
impressive a convention. 1 have
often read of these women and their
union, but 1 did not realize, until
now, fraction of their greatness"
