THE MARRIED TEACHER.

Should married woman whose husband is lv-
ing and supports her teach school? President
Roosevelt in his Message to Congress says: The
prime duty of the man is TO work, be the bread
winner; the prime duty of the woman IS 10 be the
mother, the housewife"
If you in love with teaching school so
married to that profession. that you lay il
aside when it conflicts with duty don't marry
The absurdity of teaching school after one is

alarming fact. We do regard the ties the

IT probable that in a few months the
schoolgirls Of New-YOrk City will enjoy as great
athletic privileges have the boys since the es-

exercises suitable for girls.

Some e,ays Of the EOorld.

The evolution of the second generation is often
a matter of wonderment to the homely progenitOrs
of some rara avis that shows trace in its sue
cessful career of its quiet origin. With the feath-
cred tribe the explanation is easy. Some strange
egg has been dropped by brilliant passing stran-
ger into the home nest, but unless human beings
adopt the primitive superstition of fairy change
ling, they have explanation to account for the
radical difference between some one member OF the
family and the rest and the subsequent career of
the unexpected prodigy. Even In ordinary cases, 1t
is no uncommon thing nowadays for mothers 10 be

Mr.. Bruce began by telling the members how
much he appreciated the work they were doing for
the Republican party and the assistance they had
given In the last campaign.

Referring to the results of the Presidential cleo
