more enthusiastic supporters. Finally
I came to the conclusion that it was

teacher of grown men and women.
decided to devote all my time and
thought to the matter; 80 about 1850,
with slight tinge of regret, gave
up my chair and desk to take an active
part IN pablo life. The first struggle
in which took part ON behalf of these
doctrines Yves In the state convention
of teachers. This was an important
event, which for many years had been
practically monopolized BY men. and
In which women were almost alto
gether debarred from participating.
The struggle was hard one, but as it
progressed gained friends and made
converts. Then as our numbers grew
the conservative opposition reluctantly
yielded, first one privilege and then an
other. Women were permitted to take
part in the debates, to read essays, to
speak, to vote and finally to hold hon
ored positions az officers.
II seems very easy matter to-day
and very small one, but forty years
ago, IL you had judged by the outcry of
conservative elements in pedagogy,
newspaperdom and society you would
have supposed that there was q reyolu-
ton in progress which would soon con-
sign things to the limbo of anarchy.
In 1852, through the influence and
eloquence of Pillsbury, George Thomp-
son, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd
Garrison and other undetermined patri-
cts, / began to realize that slavery was
national evil, and should be abolished

by my own sex In every detail of life.
The young men and women, young hus-
bands and wives of to-day cannot re-
alize how things were In the early part
of this century. To say that revolu-
ton has occurred between 1900 and
1895 is to say little or nothing of the
difference between periods in history,
between different parts of the globe,
between, ! might say, this world and
some other one more barbarous, thought
less and cruel and brutal.
In those early days it was considered
gentlemanly to use wine to excess; it
was customary and was the law for a
husband to take all of his wife's prop
erty and use it as he pleased. There
were cases, not one or two nor twenty
or thirty, but hundreds, in which de-
signing men would marry innocent
girls for their money, and almost as
soon as the marriage VOW was uttered,
would waste their wives dowry in
riotous living. If a man failed his
creditors attached his wife's prop
erty, and frequently took away from
her everything she had, even down
to little ornaments for her chill
dren or family keepsakes that had
been transmitted 10 her by her parents
and grandparents. There were cases
where women with lazy or dissipated
husbands would try to work TO support
themselves and their little ones, and
when it came around to the weekly or
monthly pay day a creditor of the hus-
band or the wretched man himself
would appear upon the scene, collect
the proceeds of her toll and let her go
home penniless to, it might be. q sterv-
ing household. And stranger, still, the
father had the right Of custody over
the children at the expense of the
mother. These facts viii illustrate

The thing struck me so forcibly that

nnlike most young women OF those
days, I was trained as matter of con-
science on the part OF my parents, to

ing of sehool-teaeher and followed
this calling with considerable success
for fifteen years. My experiences were
varied, but, taken altogether, extreme
" pleasant. One that promised to be
very disagreeable wound up in exactly
the opposite manner. 1t was at
school at Centre Falls, In 1889. There
was certain very bad boy there, aged
about fifteen, who had made my prede-
ces sor's life very unhappy one. He
was young man whose only quali6es-
tons for the Office of teacher were intel
leotua1 ones
He lacked hrmness and had lost the
respect of his scholars who, under the
leadership of the bad boy mentioned
had made his career a continuous tor
ment, and who finally had chased him
out of a window. The boys had heard
of me as meek young Quaker girl who
did not believe in logging, and had
agreed upon any number of surprises
for my particular benefit The day
came and 1 entered the school Ny

reports that the boys had heard, for
