THE NEW WOMAN.
What Real Impression Are Feminine Clubs
Making on Their Timer

What Real Impression Are Feminine Clubs
Making ON Their Time?
Fifteen years ago the newspapers ig-
nored women clubs. Masculine editors
thought the doings of these organiza-
tions were so trivial as not to be worth
mentioning and women who belonged
to clubs deserved to be sat upon and
silenced anyhow. Well, that is changed.
Reporters are now sent regularly to the
meetings of women's clubs and columns
are devoted to them. No woman can
longer complain that no report of the
doings of her society can be got into the
newspapers. But what are women clubs
doing? They meet, they read papers
they elect officers, they dress in the lat
est fashion, they have exciting can
vases and campaigns, they even black
ball candidates sometimes. All this ex-
perience is useful. It teaches women
parliamentary usage; it makes them
claw and criticise one another less; in
tercourse with one another rubs off the
wire edges and the bristles of those who
otherwise never would have tried to
control their tempers. In order to get
on at all in club it is necessary for us
to be at least moderately generous and
kindly toward one another. They have
social eclat, these women S clubs. The
ladies crack their brains and electioneer
to get themselves elected president or
secretary or something so they will be
thought somebody. But of the deeper,
sweeter experiences of humanity, of
that intense. finer, higher development
to get which the soul was sent to this
earth, how much of these do the women S
clubs foster? OF that enthusiasm which
thrills q human being through and
through till he is ready to give his life
for great cause and devote all his
powers to it, how much of this is awal-
ened in LADIES clubs? | do not know
Without such enthusiasm, without up
lifting aims and desire for something
better than mere clothes, offices, tea
drinkings, receptions, newspaper mem
tion and the like, I do know, though,
that the doings and sayings of all the
women S clubs i'll America are the mere
cracking Of thorns under pot. have
read somewhere in the writings Of an
old Brahman that people in general were
like monkeys running hither and thither
in palm forest. What is this life with
only the aim of the average human be-
ing to get more money, to get social dis
tinction, to pamper up his perishable
body with good clothes and delicate
viands-what more is it than the life of
a monkey in palm forest? In heaven IS
name what real difference will it make
whether you or somebody else is presi-
dent of that club?

In Chicago there is woman surgeon
who is rapidly rising to more than local
distinction. Mrs. Augusta Siegmund, a
lady of German birth, studied medicine
after she was married She had natu-
raj gift for handling the scalpel. She
knew by a strange, intuitive faculty
where to strike and what the trouble
was. It seems sometimes almost like q
second sight the skill she shows in di-
agnosing obscure surgical cases. The pro-
fessors at her college were amazed and
delighted at her expertness with the
shining steel instruments. They advised
her to make a speciality Of surgery. She
has now lucrative practice. The most
difficult and delicate cases are sent to
her by physicians who feel that they
themselves have not the skill or nerve
to undertake the operations.

There is lamentable lack in the
training of our young men. In all the
education they get there is not single
course of study that prepares them for
fatherhood. We recommend the endow-
ment at Yale and Harvard of profess
orship to train young men to be fathers.
What good for a man to be an expert
lawyer or civil engineer if he knows
nothing about his God given mission to
be a father. The raising of fund for
the endowment of such professorship
would be noble work for those ami
able old ladies Of both sexes who are
trying to stop the emancipation of wo-
men.

It has been suggested that boys be
taught to do housework and girls be
taught the use of tools as an addition to
the education of both. Boys who can
make beds, sweep and wash dishes will
not be apt to look down on women and
sheir work.

Our Normal Grows.

Monday was the first day Of the
last term of the present session Of
the State Normal School, and the
attendance was increased by a
number of new pupils. The grad
uating class of IS. whom we have
already mentioned as having pass
cd the examinations, took their
leave, but their places were filled
and more by the new comers.
A few in each class, and as high
as 25 per cent in one class failed
to pass up to the next gradp and
will have tospend another t months
in the old class, which goes to
show that progress in the Normal
implies hard work, and promotion
is made strictly on merit.
The boarding capacity of the
school for young ladies is now tax
cd to its utmost, and still they come.
We hope the approaching ses-
sion of the legislature will make
ample provision for this grave dc
fciency, as we'll as protect all the
other interests OF this great instl-
tuition.
Every dollar the State spends
on public schools is protitably in.
vested for the taxpayers and thS
State.

"AbscOndcd."

L. R. Burnside who kept re-
tail grocery on Front Street, for
the past Is months, went to New
Orleans during or shortly after
Mardi Gras, and week or ten
days later, so we hear, wrote to his
wife to look out for herself as he
did not intend to return. 1t is al
so rumored that he had spent about
$1,000 OF her money in his busi-
ness, the proceeds of which he
pocketed before leaving. We have
been fearing something like this
ever since he ''beat" this paper
out of some little bills. The only
thing a man can do meaner than
'"beating" a newspaper is to swim
die his wife and unborn babe.
There is probably no law to reach
such miscreants as this, but hui
manity ought to kick them out OF
the universe.

Our Grammar School.

We had the pleasure OF attend
ing one of the fortnightly exercis-
es Of the public school in this city
last Friday morning, and was sur
prised to see the large Attendance
of pupils and the excellent work
being done by them.
The principal, Miss Lesa Payne,
is an experienced and well-qualifcd
teacher. and takes much interest
in her profession, while her two
assistants, Miss Kate Lee Trichel
and Miss Matte Hyams, are able
seconds in the good work the trio
are doing.
But the school is sadly in need
of seats and desks, of which there
is not first class one in the house.
Rickety old remnants Of better
days, goods-boxes turned upside
down, rude tables made with a dull
hatchet by the pupils, and plain
board edged against the wall un-
der the window, where the light
will tall in the eyes instead of over
the shoulders, are some of the
make-shifts for desks with which
the teachers have to contend and
the children to suffer.
Ihis condition of affairs in the
largest public school in the parish,
is a crying shame.
We have gIoried over our great
| Normal, which is indeed "a thing
of beauty and a Joy forever" and
have entirely lost sight of a more
! important school to US and our
children.
The practice department OF the
Normal is full to overhowing, and
the one hundred and fifty or more
children dependent upon the Gram
mar School cannot hope to reach
the Normal until they have acquir-
ed the rudimcnts of an education,
and passed the ages of Is and IL
years.
