WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

While it is a common theory that,
no matter what the father and hus-
band may be, the mother and wife
must rise superior to her environ
ments, the fact remains that the home
is as much the mans as the woman's,
and he is relieved of none of his re-
sponsibilities because society assigns
it to her as her special province. No
man has right to shirk his duty to
his children because, perchance, he
has good wife and they have a good
mother
The wife and mother rules by love,
if she rule at all; the father and
husband may rule by authority as
well as love. The wife and mother
who finds that her love is losing its
influence over her children requires,
but is too often denied, the dis.
ciplinary authority of the husband
and father. The wrecks of children
may be traced oftener to the failure
of the husband to come to the as
sistance of the wife than to any fault
of the latter.
100 much, we believe, is said { the
shortcomings of women in these days.
Those mothers and wives who are
neglectful of their homes constitute
the minority. The average American
mother is serious, unselfish and low
ing. Ii this were not the case we
should not have, as we have today. a
higher average of young manhood
than any other country on earth.
The assumption that wives and
mothers are mainly to blame for the
waywardness of children is neither
reasonable nor fair. 1t is due usually
to few exceptional cases which, be-
cause of their exceptional character.
deeply impress the observer. In gen.
eral, woman's devotion and love do
not change as the child grows old,
save for the better.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

school history was published in 1888,
and for u years has been printed
without the slightest alteration, and
it was not a good text book at the De
ginning. Even the state board OF
education has lately admitted the in
feriority of the state publications, in
determining to secure the best text
books on various subjects by leasing
tie stereotyped plates of standard
works from private publishing houses,
printing from them in Sacramento,
and paying royalty on each book
sold. In pursuance of this policy the
state will pay royalty of 30 cents a
volume to the owners of a certain
well-known school history of the Unit
ed States, and also stand the expense
of having it printed at the extrava-
gantly managed state printing house
in Sacramento. Superintendent Doub
asserts that The history will cost from
20 to 80 cents a volume more, by this
method of publication, than it would
were the direct contract method en-
ploye
By securing the best text books
wherever produced, and paying royal
ties for them, the California board of
education would certainly improve the
standard of public instruction, and
remove from the state the reproach of
sacrificing it's children at their
studies. There would remain, how
ever, the scandal of extravagant print
ing, and the inferior mechanical get
up of the books printed at the state
printing Office. The trouble at this
point is the familiar one of politics and
plumber. The state printing Office is
the spoil of politicians, and it has been
for years. It is now to their personal
advantage to have the school books
printed by the state, since the bust
ness makes just so much more TO go
around" If California is to continue
its unique experiment of publishing
its own school books, there should at
least be radical reorganization of
the state printing establishment, for
| the experiment must be a permanent
failure in case that office is not run on
business basis.
