WOMEN AS EDUCATORS.
vast Measures OF Success That Has Fol-
lowed Their Endeavors.

lowed Their Endeevors.
1t is pleasant to see women coming
more and more to the front in educa-
tional affairs, as teachers, as school COM
mittee, as supervisors Of schools and as
originators OF methods and advisers In
the execution OF those methods. 1t Is
strange that this has not come about
earlier; for it would seem as II nature
herself had intimated an opinion In this
regard, since 1t Is the mother to whom
the first formation processes OF the
child's mind are intrnsted, and whoever
gives the subject any thought will con-
fess that these first processes are the
most important of all, that they are the
beginning OF development 1t Is In them
that the memory sets about laying In its
stores, that the tendency to good or evil
is received, that all the growth Is given
it's bent, that health of body or OF mind
is secured or hopelessly impaired. Ba-
con remarked three centuries since that
gardener takes more pains with the
young than with the full-grown plant,
and Comenius said that the great
boughs which tree is to have sprout
from its stem in the first years OF its
growth. 1t is evident to all that the
mother, the aunt, the sister, the people
who are always at home and at hand,
and who make it their business, have
the control of all the first Impressions OF
the child. That great thinker Frobel
declared that the unfolding and feeding
Of the higher life of emotion was
the most difficult part of the rear
ing of children, and that from
that springs all that is best in
the race; and that, we all know, Is
almost exclusively in the hands OF
women-of mothers and grandmothers,
aunts and elder sisters. II, then, wom-

ture and the customs of society, is Civ.
en- the care of children in the most cru
cial period Of their lives, it certainly
follows that they are capable of taking
care of them in periods less vitality i'm
portant, to say nothing Of the fitness
they acquire through their previous
work in training during the earliest and
confessedly most important periods.
The thought that says otherwise IL
hardly to be called thought; it is habit
of prejudice, and ranks with the barba
rian wisdom Of the Turk, who leaves
the boy in the harem during his first
seven years, as years Of no account. II
is but few years, comparatively speak
ing, since women were allowed to take
the work of the higher education in
hand; but, SO far, not only the apparent
fact that nature designed them for the
work speaks for them, but the vast meas

the reforms that have already been in
instituted through their means, in the
constant decrease of corporal punish
ment, in the gentleness Of method in

ADMIT FRESH AIR.
Why BEDROOM Windows Should BE Left
Open at Night.

Why BEDROOM Windows Should BE Left
Open at Night.
The conviction that night air Is un-
wholesome and should be rigidly ex-
cluded, once so prevalent, probably now
tered and ignorant. AT the present day
it can not be too strongly asserted that
for those who enjoy reasonable good
health night air is as wholesome as that
of the day, and may even be said to
be purer. as it is more free from dust
and spores raised from the ground by
winds, human traffic and evaporation.
In towns no doubt many people sleep
with their windows shut to deaden the
noise of the streets, which in busy cities
like London are rarely without traffic
of some sort except in the early morn
ing bours, rather than to avoid inhal-
ing night air. That the practice is ex-
ceedingly common among the working
classes is shown by an observer at Leeds,
who on several occasions in July and
August has counted the number of open
and shut bedroom windows in work.
mems quarter OF that city and found only
about 83 per cent of the windows to be
partially open, the remaining 81 per
cent. being tightly closed. In winter
the percentage Of closed windows is
probably much higher. The occupation
of bedrooms with closed doors and win.
dows creates an atmosphere often suf-
ficiently vitiated to cause weariness and
drowsiness in the early morning instead
of that feeling of renewed life and vig-
or that should be experienced, and
much of the headache and neuralgia SO
constantly met with may be reasonably
credited to the same cause. II any one
will take the trouble to return to his
shut-up bedroom after spending ten
minutes in the fresh morning air out
side he will be surprised to find how
close and disagreeable is the atmos.
phere in which he has spent the last
eight or nine hours. We would, then,
recommend to all who are in health the
adoption Of open bedroom windows at
night The effect Of the purer air will
soon be ascertained In increased health
and spirits and a larger capacity for
bearing the tolls and troubles of the
day.--British Medical Journal.

even now, give them wheat and scalded

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE largest trav-
cling crane in the world, which n corps Of
machinists and mechanical engineers have
been for several weeks setting up in the
gun shop at the navy yard here. is now in

The crane is designed to carry the ll0-ton
