 Now all this from Mrs. Potter Palmer. in view of the fact that she was the president of the womans board of man agers of the Worlds Fair is decidedly entertaining. Nine-tenths of the women who read her views on the subject will accuse her of wanting a monopoly on the head-of-the-processio business. As far as women coming dangerously near making proposals of marriage, half concealed seeking, managing, tact. in genuity and leading" are concerned, the new woman will not exactly approve or Mrs. Palmer's action in giving the snap away. The good general is of the opinion that after an important victory has been gained it is a good thing not to tell how it was done Mrs. Palmer may yet live to regret having given her liege lord pointers on the way he was handled be- fore his final landing. It is not well to appear too captious, yet the entire utter ance of the fair ex-president was mis- take. It is safe to say that. left alone, every woman, whether new or old, IS fully capable of managing her own af- fairs, and when it comes to leap year proposals there may be one man in ten who would accept one, but there are ten women in twelve who would immedi- ately reject him for waiting for her to ..I.L L.

The several city schools had their
commencement exercises last week. The
First ward school departed from the
present prevailing custom of commence
ment exercises and instead q an oral
examination of the class was conducted
by Principal Patzer, A committee was
selected who directed which department
OF each subject the examination should
cover. This precluded all possibility OF
collision and made the examination
fair test of toe work the class had done.
The work was topical where that
method could be employed. 1t was one
OF the most pleasing exhibitions OF
training in thought and language the
writer ever witnessed III a school. There
were no suggestions made TO aid the
class, as this was not a recitation. Occa-
slonally q comment was made when the
accuracy OF a statement was in doubt.
1t was not so much the knowledge shown
by the students which attracted attention,
as no one expects any great amount of
original thought in young people who
have just completed high school course.
The effort made: to recall, connect and
arrange facts, and to reason from these
facts was pleasure to any one having

THE closing exercises Of the Third ward

Tuesday evening. Promptly at S, the
exercises were opened with music by the

be a steady drift of high school graduates
away from home life. The girl graduate
abhors mental duties such as dIshwashlng
or cooking, yet she is very willing to
grace the table with her presence at meal
time. The reasons for this divorcement
are many, but the fault might be over
training in the schools and the establish
ment OF cooking clubs Or schools. Were
girls taught cooking and general house
work IN the schools, and given credit for
the proper performance of their duties,
ambition might develop in the direction
of home accomplishments.
