airy it is expected the total membership
will have been doubled. One new fea-
ture Of the work of the National Suffrage
association is the course of study in po-
litical science, issued to local clubs
throughout the country. The course
covers three years and gives particular
attention TO civil government, political
economy, sociology and an investigation
of the leading questions of the day with
a view of fitting women for intelligent,
conscientious citizenship.
Another innovation is the publica-
ton of monthly bulletin containing
news items suggestions for work, suf
frage programmes and letters from ma
tional officers.

The work of organization of the Ma
tional association is more systematic
than is commonly supposed. From Mrs.
Catt's headquarters in New York ten
organizers are sent to different parts of
the country. Besides much more is done
in the way of organization through cor
respondence. In short. if women do not
gain acknowledgements, it will be no
fault of such wide awake workers as Mrs.

England's Women Workers.

At present working women are sub
ject TO gross injustice in many trades
They are paid half as much as men for
similar work of the same quality They
are wronged in many other ways. There
is no remedy for this except to organize
women as we'll as men in trades unions
Experience shows that, wherever posi-
BILE, women and men should be members
of the same trades union. "It is not
good for" either imam" or woman "to
be alone. Each supplements and helps
the other. Another urgently needed re-
form is a great increase in the number
Of women factory inspectors. The late
government appointed few, but many
more are needed. There are sanitary and
moral questions with respect to which a
factory girl could not speak to man in
spector, and she ought to have the pro-
lection and aid of an inspector Of her
own sex.
The final remedy, Of course, for these
and all other evils from which women,
as women. still greatly suffer is the ex-
tension Of the franchise to women. 1t is
an indisputable fact that no section of
English society has ever had its rights
properly safeguarded by parliament un-
til it has possessed the parliamentary
vote Before the first reform bill the
middle class was wronged and outraged
in all directions. Until the days of
household suffrage the most urgent and
vital needs of the working classes were
neglected. And now, notwithstanding
the splendid work of such women as
Mrs. Josephine Butler, the late Mrs.
Booth, Lady Henry Somerset and 9TH
ers, women and children do not enjoy
the protection or help of parliament TO
anything like the extent that men enjoy
both. London Methodist Times.

questions that come before the board.
but the women are found better able TO
deal with questions that relate TO the
children. and there are all sorts Of little
things about . school building that they
look after moro keenly than men. There
are many housekeeping details for which
womans eye Is needed, and the same
thing has been found true in the super
vision Of the schools.
One striking incident occurred In a
Massachusetts, town not far from Bos-
ton. A certain school suffered from re-
peated outbreaks of diphtheria and
other diseases The school committee
had the building whitewashed and ven
tilated and did all they could think Of
to improve the sanitary arrangements,
but in vain. The schoolhouse was about
TO be closed as hopelessly unhealthy.

board. She went all over the building.
and then asked 10 be shown the cellar.

no member of the school board had ever
asked to be taken into the cellar before
and that it was not in fit state for Wis
itors. This only made the lady the more
determined to see IL. She found in it
an old we'll, reeking with filth. 1t was
cleaned out and filled up. and the school

oruntries. Mrs. Croly points out the
different impetus which this English
council receives at the outset over the
similar organization in America. This
latter started with only two societies.
the woman suffrage and temperance as
ociations-represented by their great
leaders. Susan B. Anthony and Frances
Willard These societies are still the
most prominent in the council. the or
ganization rather growing round them.
The English council starts untrammeled
and with the experience of other coun-
ellis to guide it.
1t proposes. says Mrs. Croly, four d.
visions under which societies that come
into membership will be grouped. These
are the professional. political, industrial
and social. The latter will have TO be
largely created, as at present there seems
no medium or social organization which
by any stretch of imagination could
be called national. England is honey
combed with societies, but they are all
for people, not with them. They work
on separate and distinct lines, and are
often Numerically opposed to one an
other. For example, one group is work
ing hard to effect legislation for work
ing women in the direction Of shorter
hours and improved conditions for la
bor another is opposing all such legis-
lation vigorously, believing that dis
elimination in favor Of women will tell
against the working woman with the
employer.

Girls Study of Agriculture.

An educational experiment which has
been watched with more than usual in
terest is the Girls School Of Agricul-
ture, in Minnesota, and now that it is
pronounced demonstrated success, 1t
is hoped that other states will, as soon
as practicable, establish similar schools.
Cooking, canning, sewing, dairying,
fruit and flower culture, household
chemistry and entomology are branches
of education taught. and there can be
no doubt that a scientific knowledge of
how to do these things in the best way
will, by tightening the burdens of the

The American Girl.

If Mr.. Robert Grant is at all accurate
and successful in his effort to present to
his readers the young American woman
and the young American man. then Mr..
Andrew Lang Is not infatuated with
either. 1t is to be understood that it is
the Robert Grant young woman and not
the real young woman, unless the real
fits in with Mr.. Grants, that the usu-
ally genial and courteous Mr.. Lang criti
cises with unaccustomed severity. if not
brutality. Doubtless there are young
women here and also pretty much ev-
erywhere who might be characterized in
Mr.. Lang's paradox, "Tbe American
woman doesn't know what she wants,
and will never be happy till she gets
it. +" Which recalls the remark Of an
American woman that whenever she
doesn I know what she wants, it S olives.
1t is useless TO attempt a generaliza-
tion as TO American young women.
There is no distinct type. as there is in
England, where most young women
have a common racial origin, where
there is a good deal of uniformity in
education and where there is conven-
tionality of manners. Here fashionable
society receives recruits from nearly all
classes--from families whose parentage
is widely different one from another.
and whose only common ground is
wealth, or the appearance of wealth.
and common aim.
The girls of New England and the
girls Of the south are as different as pos
sible in character and manners, though
they may meet in New York on COM
mon plane and in intimacy. There are
intense girls, and inane. cheerful and
amiable and amusing little idiots, and
sedate and Minervalike goddesses, shy
maidens and dashing coquettes, in any
considerable group of girls There is no
more reason for accepting one than an
other as the type of the American girl.
There are certainly some qualities com
mon to all girls, but to English girls as
we'll 1t is as useless to attempt to de-
scribe the American girl as the Amer
lean people, who are as varied as the
nations of the earth. from all of which

Mas Anthony VIII Rest.

Susan B. Anthony has decided to take
a little we'll earned rest in her late
years. She is fitting up the attic Of her
house in Rochester as a study, and has
engaged a stenographer. Miss Anthony
intends to collect and assert her valua-
BILE autograph letters, memoirs, etc. She
has intact her correspondence with Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton during their 40
years of acquaintance. Miss Anthony
announces that hereafter she intends to
remain more at home and direct her
business by correspondence. She will
give up much of the travelling and
speaking that have occupied her for so
many years, and leave it to the younger
women, who, she says, are better able
to endure the wear and strain Of travel
and public life.

DR.. Helen Densmore, the energetic

in California, pushing the work Of the
organization at whose head she is. She
is quoted in the Boston Herald lately as
saying: I'VE have determined to no

eminent, but to force il to action by
public sentiment. That is power that
even the English government cannot
withstand. At the time OF Mrs. May

against the unfairness Of her trial and
against her sentence, protest upon pro-
test coming from judges, lawyers and

other hand, II she were guilty, il
would be justified in keeping her. The

Chess Queens.

The women chess players OF England
have wisely formed clubs, with view
to encourage systematic play and to in
crease the interest of the game among
women. They are not alone in this
praiseworthy effort. America has for
several years had such an organization,
its members holding weekly meetings
during seven months of the year. In the
spring of 1898 few women met infor-
mally and organized what is now known
as the Women's Chess Association Of
America, their plan Of organization
being closely allied to that of the Man
haitian Chess club Of New York.
In January, 1894, they elected their
officers, and since that date have had
their meetings at the Ladies club, IS
East Twenty-second street, New York.
Their roll Of membership is at present
10, including a number of honorary
members, selected from among the best
women players in England and Ireland,
the champion player of England. Miss
Mary Ridge, and Mrs. Rowland Of Ire
land being among the number.
For three years game has been in
progress between Mrs. Rowland and a
member Of the American association,
and the issue is still uncertain. During
the autumn, winter and spring months
the New York members of the associa-
tion will hold their weekly meetings in
the spacious parlors Of the Woman &
headquarters, so West Fifty fifth street.
