st, Louis Women.

The women of st. Louis want repre-
sentation on the school board, and as
the simplest way of securing it have had
q bill drawn up, which, if passed, will
put an end to the existing masculine
monopoly of school management in the
state Of Missouri. It provides that in all
towns, cities and school districts the
governing body of the schools shall be
composed of an equal number of men
and women, and no board shall be COM
posed of more than IL members. They
have issued long and eloquent petition
to voters asking support for their meas
ure and giving many good reasons why
it should become q law.

woman ana AmO1ClOns
Ambition is most desirable quality
when it does not carry one SO far into
the sea that the waves are stronger than
can be buffeted successfully. Woman's
ambition, as q rule, forces her compare
lively much farther than mans. Be she
single and working for her living, her
ambition generally leads her to the hope
of accommodating property, or dressing III
fine gowns, or owning handsome jewel
~. Married, she is ambitious for social
position, for worldly honors to be show
cred ON her husband and children,
through which she shines in reflected
glory, and so in many instances she
struggles and strives, worries and con-
trives until, beaten or triumphant, she
discovers that she has exhausted phys
ical strength and mental force for a
chimera that fails to satisfy even when
within her grasp. Many lives are sacrl-
flced to ambition. Dark hair grows pre-
maturely gray in worrying over what
keeps forever just step ahead OF tho
pursuer. Contentment is the jewel thu,
means absence Of wrinkles, long, undis-
turbed nights Of rest, placid days and a
rare enjoyment of the things we have,
whether they be much or little.
"a
sonal experience, the writer pleads with
women to lay down their arms and
calmly accept rather than battle against
fate and fortune. This does not mean
/. to lapse into laziness. Far from it. The
sluggish existence is of all types the
most depressing. Yet there is happy
mean between the mad chasing aft I
phantoms and the comatose nothingness
of sheer getting through Of days.
In this era of advancement for women
it may seem strange for one who is in
the world Of what is termed new WON
anhood to giorify as the choicest and
brightest, the noblest and most satisfy.
