ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
1t is we'll pleasing TO note the increas-
ing number Of women going into news
paper work in the smaller cities of the |
Union. The daily papers in many OF
these smaller cities have really more |
genuine originality and scope than the
great, many blanketed sheets, for all /
their fuss and feathers. On the jour |
nal Of the small inland city there is |
more Americanism of sentiment, con-
sequently less prejudice against wo-
mems occupying responsible places, |
than can be found in centerS like New !
York and Chicago. Aspiring young |
women begin to find this out, and are |
knocking at the door of journalism in |
towns where it will be opened to them |
1t is pleasing, too, to note that many
of these young women are college grad |
yates, trained to write good English |
and to use their brains to think. To |
those who serve their apprenticeship |
faithfully in the country towns, if later
they desire TO hazard their fortunes in |
one of the great cities, the way will
open. Portraits and sketches of the
Misses Louise and Georgia BOyntOn |
respectively editor in chief and bust |
ness manager Of paper in Perth Am
boy, N. J., have been widely published. |
The young ladies are both VaSsar grad |
yates. The paper was a weekly when |
they bought it. They changed it into
a successful daily. In Titusville, Pa, |
young lady-Miss Mary Lee-is city |
editor of a daily paper. She first duly |
worked her time as a general reporter, |
which is the natural road to newspaper |
promotion Miss Lee watches every |
item of her Local department till the |
paper goes to press at in the morning. |
Many time it is necessary for her to |
go out at night and get hurried news |
story, which the nervy, brainy young
woman does without the least hesita-
ton and in perfect security.

A summer woods camp for girls has
been suggested, where they may live in
freedom and enjoy physical sports at
will Yes, but they will have lot
more fun to take fathers and brothers
aIong-their own brothers, also some |
other girls brothers.
The woman who tolls like a slave |
and obeys like a slave will be rewarded |
like a slave.
A queer thing happened lately at |
Atlantic City. Miss Elsie Bernard, a |
strong and expert swimmer, was in the
water off the pier. She was perform |
ing various water exploits, in one of
which she threw up her hands The life
saver, who is always present to watch
the swimmers, thought this motion Of
Miss Bernard was a signal for help. |
He snatched a buoy, and threw it to-
ward her with such force that he threw
himself along with it, and down he
went into the sea, head first, He
struck so hard that he was stunned
and sank instantly. AS quickly Miss
Bernard, the magnificent girl swim |
mer dived after him. She did not
find him, came up to breathe and
dived again. The second time she
reached him, grasped him powerfully
and brought him to the surface. There
others relieved her Of her burden and
quickly restored the half drowned man.
Thus a girl swimmer saved the life
saver.
The acting secretary Of the Boston
Democratic committee is a woman,
Miss Mary Meyer. She has been en-
ployed in the Democratic headquarters
Is years and knows more of the details
of the office than any man does. In
election times she has worked 4S hours
without stopping. Yet probably not
more than one in ten of all the men
who know of her capability would be
willing she should vote

development on the woman question. |

women on propositions to raise money |
