Wnen our prauuInotneES gave
their world-repowned "tea- party
in Boston harbor, the question of
whether or no taxation without
representation should be permit
ted was by no means finally set
tied; it has constantly reappeared
in one form or another.
The majority of teachers i'll this
country are women. In the pub
lie schools, including even the
high schools, 80 percent of the
teachers are women, but they are
in the minority when it comes to
salary and to counsel. In Colora-
do we have a state association for
teachers, where woman is allow
dd to pay her taxes and share in
the work, but we have never as
yet had woman president.
There is in Colorado School mas
ters' Club. Do our women teach
ers do what they are told without
demur2 Are men so wise, that
women are always justified in de-
ferring to them? Are men SO wise
that they always make the best
leaders. and so wise that, being
leaders, they need not ask advice
of the women? The Committee of
Ten and the Committee ofFilteen,
from the National Educational
Association. which passed upon
and revised the course Of study for
schools taught almost exclusively
by women-were those committees
composed entirely OF men, or did
the women have some representa-
tion thereon9 Is 1T possible that
the women teachers of the country
have nothing of value to offer
when the best plans for the evolv-
ing of the child are under discus
sion? In the general organization
organization OF the National Edu-
cationsl Association women have
little if any voice. Occasionally a
woman or two may be put on the
Nominating committee simply as
a sop to local feeling. The Ma
tlonal Educational Association
is made up of people about 80 per
cent of whom teach in the lower
grades of the schools and are OF
the gentler sex, but the National
Edu :ational Association is run by
ana for the men. 1t is not late IN
the history of the world to make
this sex distinction so prominent
in the administrator Of affairs IN
which both sexes are greatly inter
ested? The distinction should be
one OF knowledge and power, not
OF sex.
On the other hand it is very
possible, not to say probable, that
women are not so able as men in
the work of education in any de-
partment. III that is the case, those
in authority should, as soon as may
be, employ men in place of women
in the grade schools. The children
should have the advantages of the
verv best talent. The younger
the children the more plastic they
are, the more susceptible to the
possible effects of educational
work. 1t is in the lower grades
that the very highest ability should
be employed and the very best
work should be done. If women
are doing this work we'll, they are
the ones TO take the lead III edu-
catlonal associations, they are the
ones to be consulted IN education
al discussions. If they are not do
ing it we'll, let men take their
place as rapidly as possible. i.
