How to keep cool7-that is the
sometimes literally burning ques-
ton these hot days. Generally
speaking, the best way to endure the
unavoidable atmosphere is TO have
the mind and body employed in some
interesting task. 1t is when you are
idle that you feel the heat most in
tolerable The mind, being then con-
centrated on the subject of high tenn
perature, exaggerates 1t beyond its
natural proportion, and the subject
feels actually warmer than he is. The
influence of the imagination is thus a
factor in the consideration of how
TO keep cool.

! placed the hospital corps Of the armies
OF the world on a very practical basis;
indeed. it is 4 question whether any
movement of the last fifty years has
been more vital than the founding Of
the Red Cross Society.
1t is the purpose Of the Woman's Ex-
Libition to illustrate how efficiently wo-
men have followed the lines laid down in
all these directions and more particu-
Iarly to show them as the combatants of
men in the commonplace transactions
Of everyday life. Beskirted wage-earn-
ers will be on view engaged in every
pursuit by which bread is to be won in
every nation OF the earth.
There will be a newspaper edited and
printed by women. field hospital oper-
ated by women, factories and shops and
offices populated exclusively by women.
The bands and orchestras to be heard
are to be composed of girls. Women
will lecture and read and demonstrate;
they will be seen in calisthenic and ath-
letic exercises.
The upper floors of the Garden will be
crowded with articles which they have
produced-such examples of the fine and
applied arts as mosaics. miniatures, en-
broiGerIes, tapestries. bookbindings.
china. painting, and glass work; such
examples of trade products as rugs. fur
niture, toys, gowns, foods, and drugs.
These women will not be trained. nor
will the work be done especially for the
exhibition; the Professional Woman-A
League simply will gather and collect
the laborers and samples of their labor,
thus demonstrating for the first time
the place woman has come to take in
the affairs of the worka-day world
It is for this reason and not as great
enterprise that the Woman's
Exhibition of 1902 will deserve the clos
est attention of the thoughtful. 1t will
prove conclusively that man is no long
er alone as a factor in the progress OF
the world; even that his supremacy Is

The American public school is the
soul center of every community, the oai-
wark of the nation. The public use and
the public ownership Of the public scnooi
is the best example of pure democracy
even in this country. We who are at
home here. 20 the manner born, or have
become acelimated by long residence,
owe it to others that We should seek
to disseminate our educational ideals.
The public school is a grand smelling
furnace into which conglomerate mass
of crude material is poured. and out OF
which come the best specimens of Amer
lean manhood We have lost the CID
time town center and town meeting, es-
tabl;shed and made feature Of the iorh
of government adopted by our New Eng
land forefathers. Aside from the public
school we now have no universal center.
Let us make the most of our schools.
What is more inhuman than the loss
of sociability in some of our large cities?
People who live on the same street,
across the hallway from each other, do
not know each others name. So long
as the youth remains in school he Is
under democratic influences. Pity the
boy or girl who never had a common
school experience.
The public schools were builded better
than we knew, welded for a larger pur-
pose than that to which we are putting
them. We are neglecting our oppor-
tunities. The public school should be
a social as well as an educational center.
Schoolhouses. and churches, too. for that
matter. should be open at all times, in
stead of only few hours a week, for
the social reception Of all the people

The public school could do no higher

a false system of education that brings
about such an end. The school should
not only weld the people of the conmu-

bring the child into closer sympathy
with the efforts of the parent TO earn
his livelihood.
The common people are the only people
in this country. Don't let us neglect
them 1t is the business of the public
school to enlighten the parents as well
as their children. The public schools
should be made civic centers, places
where the fathers ard mothers may con-

school to teach them what they should

In the hurry and worry OF this indus

( for this reason that woman has not been

and that her share in the progress of

As a matter of fact, the elevation of
the sex from serfdom to social equality,
step forward which consumed cen
turies. was not more notable than the
elevation to a plane on which she has
obtained a foothold with man artistical-

mercially. The great mission of the Wo-
mans Exhibition which the Professional
Woman's League will hold at Madison
Square Garden will be to manifest the
wonderful stride which femininity has
taken in this direction.

man, even under the most unfavorable
circumstances, always has been an i'm
