Women and the Public schools.

The New Idea Woman's Magazine for
October has an inspiring article on
women in Professions" by Miss Eliza
beth Howard Westwood. Miss West
wood runs over the field of those profes
sions into which women enter, showing
that there are now very few in which
they have not proved their capability.
Speaking of the educational field, which
is, as ever, one of those most entered by
women, she says: "Some of the most re
markable educational work is being done
by women in connection with the public
schools. Miss Farrell, whose class of un-
manageable children is well known. is
little short of wonderful Boys who
have proved too much for school after
school, teacher after teacher, never give
her the slightest trouble. Children who
have been given up as hopeless idiots,
learn to read under her tutelage, and
take the first step toward fitting for
trade. She is an enthusiast and an
optimist, declaring that she has yet to
see the child too stupid to become self
supporting, or too bad to be reached by
kind, firm treatment"

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Brown, of Bennettsvlle, S. c., says:
For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with tor
pid liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely well. She is
now strong and healthy" Fred Long,
druggist, sells and guarantees them, at
