Mrs. NJ. A. Dockstader of Hastings,
state superintendent of anti-narcotics,
was born in 1888 in Charleston, Mont
gomery county, New York, receiving her
education in the public schools and Sc
lect schools of that day, finishing course
at the Academy and Female seminary OF
Amsterdam, and commenced to teach in
the public schools at the age Of Is. Her
father, Alexander Coons, was a stanch
prohibitionist, her mother and active w.
G. T. U. worker, while her sister, Mrs.
Carrie Knox Godfrey, will be remembered
by many in Minnesota as former lee
turer and state organizer. .-...
Mrs. Dockstader has one son, DR.. Dock

always been prohibition voter, while
her husband, Alonzo Dockstader, warmly
sympathizes with her in all her work for
temperance and prohibition. Mrs. Dock
stader taught the first public school In
Douglas, Dakota county, this state, and
continued teaching for some years. She
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church in 1857, which she served as Sun
day, school superintendent and teacher,
class leader, leader in music and f1nan-

In this way education owes its origin to the
family, and yet at the same time is mat
ter of public concern.
There ought to be complete harmony be-
tween school and home. Interest in one
ought to promote interest in the other. In
fluence each other they must. This inter-
action ought to be beneficial and, even to the
most casual observer, 1t is very evident that
more and more, they are considering all ques-
tions pertaining to their domains in order that
they may be in accord.
Children who are instructed by parental
lips that strict conformity to the rules of
school will meet their highest appreciation
take their places in the schoolroom with a
proper respect for themselves and high re-
gard for their teachers. While, on the other
hand, children who come from homes where
teachers are looked upon with suspicion or
as taking artagonisttc attitude almost
destroy the usefulness of both school and
teacher. Again, pupils who receive no higher
conception of home, no instruction that
magnifies the mission of parents and the
duty the child owes to it's parents are losing
much that is their just due and are therefore
rendered less obedient, less respectful than
they otherwise would be. Obedience should
be the watchword at home and at school. If
1T is required that parents must obey without
question laws enacted by legislative bodies
and are not excused, when, perchance, they
violate these laws for want of knowledge
of them, how much more necessary it is that
obedience to known rules must never be
relaxed

Her address is given in part as follows:
One of the glories of the American public
school system is it's record in stimulating the
home to do much for education and to 90 it so
we'll as to react through healthy rivalry upon
the school. The perfecting of the character
of the individual through a harmonious and
systematic development should be the sub

own nation We must endeavor to evolve
high grade of national character from conglo-

conflicting social conditions, we must be sure
that we are n1isdirecting no energy, and, as
we have accented the fact that education

The best par: of education is something
that money cannot buy and it is acquired
in the first school the child attends-the

fabric; it is antecedent to government, there

The Chicago Woman's Club at it's gen.
eral meetings listens alternately to liter
airy and study class programs. The study
class this year is considering "Industrial
Conditions in Chicago" At it's Deem
Der meeting the essayist was Mrs Lyn
den Evans, whose topic was SELF Support
for Women in Large Cities" Mrs. Evans
is president of the newly organized
School Of Domestic Arts and Science, to
which the equipment of the domestic de-
partment of Armour Institute was trans
ferred this fall and which the clubs OF
Chicago are seeking to make of value in
helping to solve difficult domestic prob
lens.

brisk discussion, in which Miss Jane
Adams. Mrs. Florence Kelley, Mrs. Ellen
M. HenrOtin, Mrs. StanWoOd, president
Of the Illinois federation: DR.. Rachel
Jaros, Mrs. James Frake and others took
part.
The portion of Mrs. Evans essay deal
ing with general conditions of self-sup-
= port, professional women and women in
business is here given in substance:
Life for women has changed much in the
last century that they are more and more
seeking self-support outside the home and
We have come to use the term self support
ing women" as almost limited to business
women. This limitation is unjust, for all
wage earning~women are really included, and
many should be whose labor is not measured
by the measuring stick of wages.
To-day little Is done in the home except the
routine work for daily living, and women &C
out to work in factory, store, office, in othel
homes, and the result of the labor is stated
in terms of wages Besides the establish
ment of factories, the large increase Of urbar
life has developed conditions under which
women must go out to find new fields of act
,1yity. When people live in such crowded dis
tricts, the space occupied by each family i!
so small that the effort required for home
making is much reduced. When so mucf
creative work was directed to outside certers
theAidea grew apace that what was left to bt
done was mere drudgery. With this point O.
view and these conditions, it is small wonde
that the activity of the race has asserted itsel
and girls to-day are showing a restlessnes
that is forcing it's way into new channels
Education is adding fuel to the flames il
leaving the creative instinct undeveloped, an,
activity in the individual seeks direction from
other minds.
Women day are seeking all sorts of occu
pations outside the home, no matter how me
chanical so long as a definite sum is paid 70
services rendered. so long as some othe
mind does the directing, and so strong
their desire to go into business that all HON

The increased number of women in gainfu
occupations is not due to any change in tn

done by women now is not different fror
that honored from time immemorial but tn

MRS. PENNELL's COOK BOOKS.

Elizabeth Robins Pencil has a very inter-
esting collection OF cookery books. This
American woman who is at home in London
says that she never dreamed of being a col-
lector when she began dipping into old books
of recipes merely to get copy for a weekly
article on cookery for the "Pall MALL" but
the fascination grew upon her until now her
collection is quite complete, and she has been
known to bid as high as $50 for some book Of
recipes of the old days when these as we'll
as peoples clothes were much embroidered.
Fine phrases and confidential chat abound in
them, especially in those of the seventeenth
century. With the eighteenth century printed
talk about foods and drinks began to partake
of the pomp and stiffness of all things, and
books of that period are less entertaining than
those which came earlier, and later.

have not as yet fully realized the Importance
of the influence for better or for worse in
the workers with whom we are so little ac-
quanted. Did we do SO, no influence of this
sort would go unrecognized as it does to-
day. The womans club could do no greater
work than this one of simple recognition of
forces working for righteousness, of holding
up hands carrying heavy burdens, where
temptation urges and recognition is often
wanting. .m.n ..
If you want to help the Intelligent, forceful
business woman, give her a chance to help
you and recognize her help. 1 believe I am
vocing the feeling of business women at
large when I say that what they hunger for
is the recognition of their womanly influence
by their own kind. Why not give it them.

Mrs. Evans Views Of the factory and
domestic situation will be taken UP at a
future time. The practical suggestions
which she urged upon the large audience
of club women in her conclusion were to
make a careful study of census reports on
wage earning women as soon as they are
issued, to seek to know self-supporting
women, to extend to them club privileges
through auxiliaries or cooperation with
organization from within the ranks of the
workers, to foster special educational
training fitting women for self support,
including domestic science, in the public
schools as we'll as special technical
schools, and finally and chiefly to accord
sisterly recognition to the workers and
their influence. :
