SIotherless Institutions.
HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON.

HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON.
In most states in this Union women
cannot be appointed trustees of public
institutions, because such trustees
must be electors.
There have been men, who lighthouse
for themselves or had only men ser
wants in their bachelor quarters, and
yet neither they nor their friends ever
thought of these houses. or fats as
homes; men have kept house but they
have never made homes. Women are
the home-makers and home-keepers.
This characteristic of woman is just as
important in the state as in the family.
Men would think it a grave error if no
one but women served on the Board of
Trustees of Soldiers Homes, il only
women were physicians in, and super
intendents of such homes. The writer
smiles as she imagines what furore
would be created if all public institu-
lions should suddenly be taken out of
mems hands and put into women's. No
woman would want such a thing to haE
pen.
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1896-09-25

The writer believes that all public
institutions, schools, libraries, lunatic
asylums, soldiers homes, etc, should
have women trustees, directors. or
whatever the term may be for such Of
ficers, but she is a little more radical
than many women. However, she can
not see how any woman can cease from
making effort to have women trustees
on boards of all public institutions
where women and children live, wheth-
er is is lunatic asylum or a children's
home. A most pitiable sight is a num-
Der of motherless children, whose faith
er alone is trying to plan for their flu
ture. Yet just such man who knows
that some woman must help him out
with his family cares, does not seem to
think that the principle applies as well
to the state.
In many states women have beseiged
legislatures until boards of visitors
have been appointed These boards.
however, have neither responsibility
nor authority. They visit the institu-
tions when they are expected and must
report or make suggestions in writing
to the trustees. The trustees need
take no notice Of such report. They
occupy about such a position as
formal caller would to the motherless
family above mentioned. Such a caller
might be sympathetic and interested
but her help would be of little value
because Of the. relation she bore the
family. The writer doubts if board
of visitors does any good except to ac-
custom men tc seeing women about
such institutions and to accustom
women to- serve on such boards.
The time is surely coming when men
md women viii serve together as trus-
,ees, then will all the details of the
lone be understood by all the mem
'ers of the board. Then viii women's
her mother heart, be felt.
hen will many unfortunate women
nd children be happier and healthier.
hen will the state find that the small
economies which women practice in
be home will be practiced in the state.

music hall in New Orleans ono evening he
heard the manager announce that little
girl, who was to play the piano. was Ill

behind the scenes and volunteered to take
her place. The little girl was delighted,
but remarked doubtfully
You had better look ut the score. The
piece is rather difficult"
Gottsohalk grayely remarked that he
thought no could manage it and was per.
mitted to go on the stage. The audience
recognized him and OF course went wild
