in factory, enduring great privations
that Ada might be educated for a

There she lived In room two flights

panes were of paper, and her most ele.
CANT piece of furniture was the box
which contained her books. But when
at % years of age, she published her

1t is less important that they follow

that they are trained to know how to

worthy a mothers study The proper
ton of ones income to be spent on a

They Wish to Honor Mrs. Stevens.


Clubwomen of Chicago are putting
forth their best energies to name the
parental school soon to be built by the
board Of education after Mrs. AlZina
Z. Stevens, who died few weeks ago.
For more than two years Mrs Stevens
worked asslduously to have the bill
pass the Legislature and finally sue
ceeded. After her return to Chicago
Mrs Stevens worked with the board of
education to secure an appropriation
for the erection of the school. All
along she had great obstacles to en-
counter, but she overcame them, and
now the money Is ready, the site is
chosen and the principal selected, but
as Mrs. Stevens could not live to see
the contamination of her plans the
clubwomen urge that she certainly
should be honored by the city.
