Because If you have, the very best
thing you can do is to remain quietly
In a warm, even temperature. I think
the office is just about right for you.
Perhaps l could arrange it so that you
could sleep here tonight and send
word home to your mother so she
would not be worried about YOU"
Il don't think it's the grip, SIR" said
the boy.

Filling n Lamp.

Reservoirs of oil lamps should never
be filed to the brim, as oil expands
when heated. and the overflow is any
to eXude, causing a smell of paraftin,
while to prevent the oil from flowing
over the edge of the burner after the
lamp has been filed the wick, after
cleaning, should be turned down be-
low the level of the burner until it is
required to light it.

pose yourself to the most disagreeable surprises, to the
bitterest dislli us.ons.
All the husbands in the world fall into two grand
classes, the good and the bad. The good are always the
same. They love their wives above everything else, and
the first thought is to render them happy. They seek
riches, honors, glory itself, but to weave a garland to
place on the brow of the beloved woman. They neither
command nor obey, for they consider themselves neither
above nor below their wife, but her equal. They, dis
cuss with her the big and little problems of life, and
they always finish by arriving at the same conclusions
with her. Over their head burns always the sun, a sun
which does not scorch but warns, a sun which never
sets.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN AMERICA,
By Mrs. T. Golden Sanderson.

There are two classes Of women In the
United States upon whom the chief hope OF
woman suffrage rests. The one is the college
girl. I am bound to say that as a rule they
know little about the question, perhaps be-
cause they approach 1t from a different stand
point. The idea Of the thinking college girl
is to 60 into politics In order to purify it.
The other class is the working woman, or

And for that reason it is with hope and courage that
we look toward the future; and l venture to predict that
the time is at hand. nearer than we know, when we shall
realize that the world in which we are living, in its

civilization, is only a house Of prayer and every man is

COOKING IN SCHOOLS.
Mrs Williams S Struggle to Convince Board
of Superintendent of Its Value

Men are delightful creatures at home but It is
very hard to convince them in public that you
know than they" said Mrs. Mary E. Will
Jams director of cooking in the public schools. to
the League of Home Economics yesterday after
noon The league having a parlor meeting
at the home of Mrs George P. Brett, No. 267
West End avenue. and Mrs. Williams talking
about her trials with the board Of superfntend-
ents. that august body OF men that sits around a
table and makes laws"
The trouble with the good superintendent is, it
seems, that they think cooking is cooking, and
not education.
They think it good thing teach a girl to
boil All egg and make COFFEE said Mrs. Williams
but they don't understand that we don't boil
eggs, and not clear 70 the utility of teaching
a girl that she is destroying much of the nutritve
value of when she boils it. They don't quite
believe that she understands

able body the board of superintendent 1t wants to
know If the work of the cooking teachers cannot
be rearranged so that their time may be utilized
to better advantage" 1T grieves them to death &"
interpolated Mrs. Williams, If a cooking teacher
has eighty minutes in the afternoon without a
class, although she the time very well
correcting papers and doing many things that are
apt to get crowded out in the rush of work if
she does not use it. as IS often the case to take
some other class"
The board also wants to know If instruction in
cooking could not he confined to the afternoons
Mrs. Williams intends to reply that such a rnita-
ton would not only mar the efficiency of her de-
partment but destroy it altogether She read the
letter she intends to address to the board of SUPER
intendents, and when she had finished the, audience
appauded vigorously.
Il hope" said Mrs Williams that the board
of superintendent will do that II is really nee
essary to our existence that we should please

concilate them. but sometimes l have 70 scoId

assured Mrs Williams that whenever a .'reso-
luton" from that body would be of use Ia her
in her dealing with the recalcltrant superIntend-
ents 1t would be forthcoming
Mrs. Williams was followed by Miss Margaret

OPPOSES DENVER PLAN.
DR.. MARCEL Says 1t Won't SolUe
Part Time School Trouble.

DR.. William H. Maxwell, city superintendent of
schools. said yesterday that he was unable TO see
any value in the plan urged on the Board of Edu-
cation by Commissioner Nathan S Jonas provid-
ing for two separate sessions in the schools for
the first two years.
Mr. Jonas in a letter to each member of the
board week, pointed that If this city were
to follow such plan. which, he said, operat-
ing with economy and general success In Denver,
there would be saving to the city of $25,000,000
in five years on sites and buildings alone
DR.. Maxwell said a similar plan had been tried
in Brooklyn few years ago and was total fail
ure There was reason. he said, to change the
opinions he then formed concerning the various
fnpracticabiIities of the idea. To save money by
increasing the number of pupils to a teacher would
he to It at the expense of the physical health
and the intellectual and moral welfare of the
school children, he added.
Every such proposition should he rejected
educational and humanitarian grounds" he went
Our effort should be to reduce the
Der of pupils a teacher within reasonable limits"
DR. Maxwell said that when the subject had been
previously considered of the first arguments in
favor of the proposed change was that it would
put end to the troublesome agitation against
part time classes. It then found to be a pure
assumption by the board of superintendent appoint
ed to investigate the results Of shorter school
day He agreed with that report which character
lied the scheme giving the name of full time TO
what is part time and assuming that what
unsatisfactory under the name of part time
would become satisfactory when officially called
full time.
DIT. Maxwell, referring to the saving which Mr..
Jonas believes could be made in building COSTS
said 1T is argued that if the school day for first
year pupils be reduced three and one-half hours
each first year classroom may be utilized for two
classes between the hours OF s 80 a. m. and /
p. m. and hence that it VIII be necessary build
few. If any. more schoohouses In the present con
gested neighbOrhoOds and that building operations
might thereafter be confined to newly settled sec
tons Of the city The present part time classes
are not confined in the congested neighborhools TO
the first year classes If buildings are not
erected in such neighborhoods the promotions made
from the first year classes viii require vast in
crease in the number of part time classes in grades
above the first year.
The conclusion Of the whole matter" said Dr.
Maxwell, rs this Five hours should be regarded
as the normal school day for first year classes
any shortening of the school day should be regarded
as a temporary expedent. The tendency should be
to lengthen rather than TO shorten the school day.
