the State has no more i'm pOrtaDt duty
than the education of its citizen SOW
ereigns, and as women are the Goo.
ordained instructors of youth they
should have large share in the man
agement of our schools.
"All women should take an interest
in them as patriotic citizens. If not as
taxpayers, and mothers should take q
treble interest in their welfare.
"Eow can we expect to see children
grow up with respect for the institute
ions of their country, when they see
the general indifference of parents to
an institution with such far-reaching
effects as our school systemP
"School officers and teachers should
be watched, not only to see they do no
wron G, but to encourage them when
they do well. Many good teacher has
dege nerated from the lack Of this stim-
ulant.
"When the children were chiefly
taught at home it might have been q ell
to tell mothers TO stay at home and
take care of their children But now,
when they all go out to school, the
mothers care should surely follow
them.
eff the mothers, with their fixed
principles and settled character, can
not attend a political meeting and
come in contact with the rank and file
of the people among whom they live,
how much less can they trust their lit
tie children, with their uniformed char
acters, to teachers selected by men
elected by the politicians they SO much
fear.n
Think of the influence teacher may
have on such little onesl
She has them under her authority
five hours day. FIVE days in the week,
for ten months year, for nearly a
dozen yearsl Should she not be the
salt of the earth to be trustedr And
when such teacher is secured she
should be honored.
There are men everywhere who are
willing to sacrifice the schools to theil
political party, but it does not seem
possible that women would ever so far
forget their duty TO the children.
In one great city men were elected
to the School Board who could only
make their mark as signature, and
in one little village the president of the
Board wrote to the teacher, ''School will
begin on munday."
Ought mothers to be satisfied with
schools managed by such ignorant
menP
Women often have more moral cour-
age than men, especially when the well
fare of children is at stake. This was
shown in the case Of school principal
who so neglected his duty that while
he read the newspapers his pupils read
novels! Many parents took their chill
dren from the school, as they learned
little besides mischief. And yet at the an
nuai school meeting not a father raised
his voice in protest, but a trembling
little woman who had never heard her
voice in public before, was greeted by
q storm of corroborative applause when
she had the courage to tell about it.
And the principal retired from the pro-
fession.
And how many faithful teachers are
unappreciatedl
Wherever there are mothers and
teachers there should be conference in
regard to the culture of the most prec-
ious product of our land-the children.
And then let these women seek the
power of the ballot to make their ideas
effective.

cH1LD-sTEAL1Ne IN LONDON


Child-si ealing in London is still car
ried on. What The person who steals
child wants is not the child but its
clothes, and, having got them, the child
turns up again safe and sound, but may
be bit frightened and very hungry as
a rule. The kidnappers are generally
women. A women can 90 about with
child without attracting attention as
u man would.
If child is stolen to be kept, it is,
in most cases, septdown into the coun-
tEg rs. E q TIE flEst place it is not 80 easily
discovered and reclaimed there, and. in
the next, it can be more proftably en-
ployed. The making it an offense to.
expose children of tender years for the
purpose of gain in the streets has done
a lot to make them of less value to
these people.
Before that poor folk used to hire out
their babies to the beggars for sixpence,
or something like that, day. Someof
them do so now, but the-business isnot
what it was. A baby would in that
way almost clear the rent Of it parents
until it died. The hired-out haby rare
" lived long.
WEAR MAKES RUGS VALUABLE.
The most costly rugs IN the world
come from Persia. The beautiful soft
ness and peculiar sheen Of these rugs
are dueto the constant tTeading Of bare
feet. The rugs are made of goats hair
and wool combined. All Oriental rugs
are hand made, and each piece Of wool
inserted is tied twice. Years of labor
are involved in making some Of the
largest Of these door coverings, but
they never wear out.
When rug is made it has to be sub
jected to years of footwear before It
becomes at all valuable. Many Of the
Persian rugs now in use have been
walked on more than q hundred years
! and are still as new as ever.

YELLOWSTONE PARK
Was the Subject of Lecture by pr. J,
 H. Phillips at the Third Presby- =, =, terian Church Last Night.

sDr, J. H. Phillips lectured on the Yel- lowstone Park at the Third Presbyte- ran church last night. pr. Phillips visited this wonderful park during his trip west to attend the national conyen- tion of teachera His description of the wonderful, sights in Yellowstone Park was very graphic and instructive. The park Is government reservation and a company of soldiers is kept stationed there.1 The park association runs a line pf coaches and 1t takes five days to 20 through the park. The trip costs $4950. The park Is about seventy-five miles long and sixty-five miles wide, and is about one-tenthr the size of Alabama It is carefully guarded and is preserved as na- ture made it. The first object of inter- est Is the boiling springs. The water rom these springs runs in an under ground stream to Gardner river. A fish erman can stand at the confluence catch fish out of the Gardner river, and throw sitin the boiling Water and cook it. The Seysers are great wonders. The soldiers throw thaiE shirts in the geyser and theyt come out washed as clean as if they had been through laundry. These geysers give forrh efuptions with wonderful reg ularity. They make up their programme during the winter, like a theatr man. age1.~ and then they operate according to programme. Some scientists say the geyser is caused by the cold water sweepngsthrough the earth and coming in contact with the heated meteoric rock in the bowels of the earth. This causes steam and an eruption. The paint pots'' display wonderful colors like an opening flower. The fire valley looks like an industrial center with it's fires and per <petual smoke rhe Indians think this Valley the abode Of the Evil Spirit and never go neassit,essThe Yellowstone lake is formed like the hand.
