In the POSTGRADUATE Courses,

Greater facilities will be offered IN t1ld
post graduate courses. In these we ALSO
have coeducation without segregation. The
prospective department of library science
and photography viii furnish training IN q
work for which women are admirablyi
adapted. Any university located at thei
nations capital ought to offer the best
possible course Of instruction along these
lines. Here we have many large reference
libraries This work viii be postgraduate!
The university VIII offer advantages to-
women in the government service and to-
those who are qualifying to enter that
service. 4 WoInan's appointment, and lateS
her advancement, under civil service, dess
pend largely on her education. Many pr.
our women students are filling high-gradSl
clerkships and few are doing excellent
work in scientific bureaus, such as the;
naval observatory, Smithsonian institution
and the United States coast and geodetic;

the college and to neutralize the effect Of
rival fraternities which, according to Dr..

divide students into cliques. Nearly every

Dogs and Children.
ON the Portland oregonlan.

From the Portland OreGonlan.
Between licensed dogs and unframed
children it Is evident that many citizens
who desire to make Portland in truth
"city beautiful" will have. and indeed are
having, a hard time. L. Samuel, a practical
advocate of generous rose culture on lawns
and street parkings, some time ago voiced
his plant against the destructiveness and
detilement of dogs in the residence districts
against the filthy nuisance that these
creatures make of themselves in the bust
ness sections of the city. Mr. Samuel is
not an enemy Of dogs, but he does believe,
and strenuOusly urges his belief, that dogs
should be kept off the streets in the in
after the fair is over In this view it is
hoped that even the most devoted adj
mirers and fond owners of dogs OF high
and low degree will acquiesce.
But the dog question thus in elusive hope
disposed Of what about the unruly chill
dren who extend their play-rough and
boisterous, as becomes the sports Of healthy
childhood-to the neighbors' lawns, and
who ruthlessly break down and trample I'M
der foot the rose bushes and carefully cut
sward OF the parkings? Clearly they can
not be chained up in the back yards of
their homes, and to suggest to parents
who are in the habit of giving their chill
dren free rein, that they keep these playful
depredatOrs on their own grounds, would be
to sound the slogan of neighborhood
war. This. of course. is not to be thought
of, since the spectacle of women making
faces at each other across lots, from front
porches or open windows would not be con-
produce upon visitors. This is indeed the
most perplexing question that has been
presented In behalf of the city beautiful"
Its solution is still awaited.

The Teeth and Good Looks.
From tho London Standard.

From the London Standard.
Prof. E. Symes Thompson. Gresham Pro-
fessor of Medicine. in the course of an ad-
dress at the Polytechnic, Regent street.
on 1.-THE Evolution and Degeneration of
the Teeth" remarked that while the bones
of man and animals had decayed greatly
during the past 5000 or 1900 years. the
teeth had been preserved in much better
condition. Teeth We're not part OF bones,
but part Of the skin-they were, in fact
dermal appendages. Old people were sur
prised to find that when the teeth of the
lower jaw departed there was very little
of the jaw left. This produced what was
called the nut-cracker physiognomy. Re-
ferring to the fact that the crocodile had
an animated toothpick in the form of a
bird, which removed foreign matter, the
lecturer enforced the lesson of the necessity
of attending carefully to the cleansing of
the teeth, and recommended attention to
them at night as being more important
than in the morning. In these modern days
he said, no chance was given to the tooth,
because everything was cooked for man.
and that was the cause OF the deteriora-
ton OF our teeth In modern times. Bad

stems of the green leaves are re-glued and
the flowers once more massed and put upon
the hat. 1t is marvellous how freshening
this simple treatment is, and even flowers
which have become discolored seem to re-
vive under it, as genuine garden blossoms
do when they are put in water
All good hat trimmings are expensive and
so perishable that they can scarcely ever
be freshened by ironing. The crispness
which gives the value disappears utterly
from flower petals and taffeta ribbon that
have been pressed.

While the sweet girl graduate of the SEM
mary, with her essay on spring, and her
laces and ribbons, furnishes material for
jokes in the comic papers, the world is
disposed to take more seriously a woman
who ploughs through four years of college
life and comes forth armed with sheep
skin. George Washington University will
this year confer degrees upon several lady
candidates who have maintained high
standard of scholarship.
Maud Esther Mcpherson, candidate for
the degree of bachelor of arts, is the
daughter of Mr.. Orlando Mcpherson of the
Indian bureau. She Is a native of Illinois,
but was educated in Washington, having
graduated from the Eastern High School
before entering the university. She also
studied in the Berlitz School Of Languages.

Higher Education of Women.

In discussing the future plans of George
providing additional opportunities for the
higher education of women in the institu-
ton, DR.. Charles w. Needham, president Of
the university said:
gressive spirit OF the new era, SO far as the
higher education of women IS concerned
The cultured woman is better fitted for the
battle of life; the cultured wife is an aid
and inspiration to husband and children.
In addition to this, knowledge widens her
interests and deepens her sympathy for all
mankind.
ALREADY In George Washington Univer-
sity women are admitted to the under
graduate departments leading to bacca-
without segregation. One of the most i'm
portant steps in our development involves
the change to the dormitory system. There
will be dormitories to accommodate about
300 men. They will be arranged like those
in other large universities. We also have
plans on foot for building, of a different
type, for the women students. This will

Candidates for Higher Degrees.
Alice Marie Clark Of this city graduated
in 1896 from the Woman's College, Balti-
more, receiving the degree of bachelor of
arts. She has taught German in the Cen
trail High School for the past two years,
but this work has not prevented her from
making an excellent record in the univer-
sity's post graduate course. Miss Clark's
major topic is German she is also making
a study of modern German literature. She
will receive her masters degree this year.
Ella Arvila Merritt received her bach
elor of arts degree from Columbian in 1908.

gree during the May commencement eXer-
cises.
There are now three women candidates
for the degree of doctor of philosophy in
George Washington University, but none
who will complete her prescribed courses
until next year. In this connection, how
ever, reference may be made to a graduate
of recent years who bids fair to make
name for herself. This is Alice Madeleine
McKelden, daughter of Mr.. VIM. MoKelden
of the Treasury Department. In 1899 she
graduated from Columbian College, win
ming the medals in Greek and mathematics
and a scholarship to the University of Penn
sylvania. The following year that univer-
sity conferred on her the degree of master
of arts. She then took the summer courses
in physics at Harvard, and later at Johns
Hopkins.
She won. the three-year fellowship, the
highest fellowship given to women, in the
University of Pennsylvania. and will re-
ceive this year from that institution the de-
gree Phi. D. for her achievements in higher
mathematics.

tenn of Protection for Owners Of
Dwellings.

January 10 to II, 1906, is the date
now announced for the next meeting
of the Washington Hardware and I'm
plement Dealers Mutual Insurance
association; and Spokane is the place.
A circular letter has been sent out
by the secretary Of the association,
copies of which have been received in
Walla Walla, announcing that articles
of incorporation are being sent to
each of the 10 incorporators for sig
be filed at Olympia and a charter Sc
cured. This will enable the company
to accept insurance on stocks of mer
chandise, dwellings and household
goods of members of the association
to the extent of $4,000 limit. In this
letter the secretary soys:
I'VE have enough insurance already
subscribed to make a very good start,
but the more we get the less will be
our expense ratio and hence the great
er our success. For example, if every
implement or hardware dealer in the
Inland Empire will take the limit of
$4,000 we would have about 100000 of
insurance in force. AS there are about
300 dealers in the Inland Empire, TO
say nothing of those on the coast, this
would make us absolutely safe. Esti-
mating the average premium of per
cent we would receive for premiums
$4,000 the first year. Twenty-seven
thousand dollars will pay our share of
all the hardware and implement losses
that have occurred in this territory
for the past six years, as there have
been but nine.
THE figures of a recent year show
that the insurance companies collected
from the people of this country about
81 40 900, 900 and paid back for losses
about 49,, 900, 900, keeping more for ex-
pense and profit in proportion to SER
vice rendered than any business we
know Of
Fire insurance is simply ques-
ton of average. The policy holders
paw the losses; they also pay very
large expense account. The average
expense of insurance companies is Al
per cent of the premiums. We should
be able to handle our own business for
half of this
