LEAvENwoRrH EDUCATORS
What the Journal of Education Says
of Them.

"A. F. Winship editor of the Journal
of Education, who recently lectured in
Topeka and other western cities writes
the following about Miss NJ. A. Dolphin,
superintendent of schools of Leaven-
worth and her predecessors. Miss Dol
phin, a year ago, nearly captured the
presidency of the State Teachers asso-
ciatiOn:
Miss NJ A Dolphin, superintendent of
schools of Leavenworth, Kan. is one of
the remarkable superintendents of the
country. I do not say remarkable 'wo-
men superintendents,' for it has been
clearly demonstrated that a woman can
be the equal of any man in supervision.
There has been no better exemplifica-
ton of this than in the case of Miss
Dolphin. Leavenworth has had a series
of great superintendent. L have known
five of them.
Judge Brewer of the United States
supreme court, one of Americas great
jurists, was for five years superintend-
ent of schools in Leavenworth. By the
way, he was the first president of the

BOER TREAT MENT
Is What the Irish Say They
Will Give England.

New York, Dec. 27.-Relat1ve to the
attitude of the Irish revolutionary So
cieties toward the government of Great
Britain at the present juncture of af-
fairs, the Evening Post today quotes an
officer of the Clan -Na-Gael as saying:
England can only be made to feel by
physical force and were now going to
give her some Boer treatment. We did
intend going out and sinking that first
expedition from Canada to South Africa
but thought it better to wait little
We can mobilize our men without much
difficulty for an attack on Canada and
we are fairly well armed-as we'll as the
United States troops in the Spanish
war. We have lots of Springfield rifles
and are handy with the bayOnet.
mo decision has been arrived at yet
Everything will depend on the immed-
late future. We have either regiments
or companies all over the United States
and are fairly well drilled and q, great
many of our men are in the militia. The
Ancient Order of Hibernians has really
nothing to do with this. 1t numbers
about 250,0 900 and a majority of its
members belong to our organization.
All it's officers do and so of course it
will act with US.
1--WE have lots of men in the regular
army-camps or clubs in every post
and even if they We're sent against US
to stop US on the border they would
either march across with US, or give US
blank cartridges.
IF it is decided to attack Canada, we
shall do all in our power to keep mat
ters so secret as not to embarrass the
government until we are actually on
the border. The French population in
Canada would be with US and there are
numbers of our cOuntrymen ready to
welcome US. Canada would be an easy
mark. We would have the Canadian
lOyaliSts on the run in a week"
