MRS. A. w. RANKIN SEES ROOM
FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Speaking Before Liberal Union Of Min

men Members Of School Boards on
Score Of Economy, Sanitation and
Better Management.

Supplied with a good stock of ammu-
milton, Mrs. A. W. Rankin opened
fusilade against some Of the alleged
evils in the public school system before
the first meeting Of the Liberal Union
of Minnesota Women, held in All Souls
church today.
One of the questions and possible
remedy which Mrs. Rankin brought be-
fore the meeting was, ."Do Wo Need
Women on School Boards9' To sup
port her statement that it was abso-
lutely essential for the common welfare
Of the students and parents, she said:
"Women are needed on the school
boards to rid us of the evil of over
supervision. Supervisors are a handi-
cap to capable and experienced teach
ers. Teachers are, denied the exercise
of all their most valuable qualities by
reason Of this excessive system of su-
pervision. The TEACHERS are suffering

those interested in it. After an ex-

"The absurd and excessive home

and the evil of mass teaching, are
things which, if left in the hands of
women, would find a reasonable adj

are also needed to bring new spirit

| At the conclusion Of her paper Mrs.
Rankin was complimented with a
unanimous vote to have the paper pub
lished in an education magazine.
Mrs. J. s. Kearney reported on the

greater part Of the morning was given
