WOMAN THE RULER AND TEACHER

After all women run the world. No

some woman. However strong he may
| be. without the control of the unOb-
trusive but infiexible spirit Of woman
he is but a mighty engine with full
| head of steam on and the governor
gone. In the absence of that little
responsive revolving affix the engine
| destroys itself Somewhere in the an
cient faith of the Neda or the occultism
of the Brahman and lis philosophy Of
| the knowledge of the impersonal self.
| it is laid down that woman TO man
holds the relatively more important
value that in nature the field holds over
the seed or the plant which it produces.
If this was philosophy back of the
saDskrit there was much i'll it that was
self-illuminating.
These reflections may not be those of
the average man, but every woman
knows down i'll her heart-not in her
head-that they are true. We can
think of no better illustration of the
sweeping fact than is found in the
American school system of today. The
brightest, most thorough and progress
sive Of any country of any age, and as
we might add the most expensive in The
aggregate. 1t owes its success, its high
quality TO the enthusiasm and devo-
ton of women who are its principle
teachers. The school is at once the
school marm's livelihood and also her
mission. 1t seems to us that no argu-
ment is necessary to show that the man
teacher is doomed to extinction in the
American school system. 1t is held
that why he is not more numerous in
the system is because, as rule, he
adopts the profession as a makeshift.
The why" is more a makeShift than
the fact. The truth is the woman is
the natural teacher of youth, just as
she is as a mother the IA tural trainer
and ruler Of the home. Women often
adopt teaching as makeshift also. but
nevertheless it is one Of her natural vo-
cations. 1t is the girl who throws her
life into acquiring the science of teach
ing in way that few men do or even
can. Thus they become experts in the
profession just as men become experts
in medicine. law or finance. A woman
brings her heart and love, her mother
instincts into the school life, and withal
a better understanding of child life. /
She as surely comprehends more of |
that which is within the student youth |
ful or old. as she as q girl saw more in |
her baby-doll than could be compre- |
hended by her brother Some writers |
claim that il is matter of wages which |
is wedding the man out of the school. |
That is mistake. While the woman |
is not such a stickler for the amount of |
her pay for any given service she may
render, the time is rapidly approaching |
when for the same work she will be |
accorded the same pay of her brother. |
The truth remains that woman. botn |

KANSAS JUDICIAL SUPERIORITY

When it is remembered that Kansas
is still one of the youngest states in the
/ Union, the position she has attained on
! the judicial side of our government ap-
pears, in a measure singular, as it is,
of course, a source of pride to the peo-
pie of the state.
Kansas output in this line appears
all the stranger because the fruitiOn of
many minds Of judicial skill and worth
is usually possible only in the older
states where years and years of much
legal mulching and fertilization propa-
gates minds to the judicial manner
born.
This Singularity, however. is to some
extent seeming merely. The pride of
Kansas, Justice Brewer, brought the
judicial strain of a famous family with
him to Kansas where it was not long in
asserting its ascendancy. The blood
of the Fields hoist Brewer high, and
with rapidity, and ultimately secured
the selection from Kansas, out of forty
odd other states, which were older, of
a man for the next highest 'woolsack in
the judicial branch Of the government
That still further recognition of his
worth was possible was shown by his
selection as chairman of the Venezu-
elan commission.
Judge Horton, who presided so long
recognized as one of the great judicial
minds of the country. The same may
be said Of Judge Ewing and Judge
kingman. Henry c. SluSs of this city,
is now a member of dominating excel
lence in The United States land court,
a body peculiar TO itself and subject to
the review only of the United States
supreme court.
To this array of talent western Kan
sas has candidate in the now young
est judge of n court Of record in Kan
sas. Elrick G. Cole. AS Brewer car
ried To Kansas the famous strain OF the
Fields, SO Cole brings TO Kansas the
famous judicial strain Of the Coles Of
Wisconsin. who have long written the
hastings and prevailing precedents in
that part of the country
Elrick Cole has the judicial capacity
and the acumen OF the famous Cole
family, and it Is not surprising that he
soon asserted himself in western Kan
sas politics. and that. without request
ing his present place. il was secured
merely through the confidence Of his
