Sees Women Vote

Rev Anna H. Shaw, President
OF the National American Woman
Suffrage Association accompanied
by Miss Laura A. Gregg, a well
known pubic speaker, Miss Ray
COstelloe and Elinor Rendell, two
enthusiastic and pretty young Eng
lish suffragettes, was in Denver No
vember 3rd, for the purpose of see
ing women vote at National cleo
ton.
The Denver Post sent the party
from polling place to polling place
in a hugh automobile, and they
witnessed many an interesting
sight AT one place where a ner-
vous man hdgeted uneasily in the
line of waiting voters, a woman
right ahead of him courteously ex-
changed her place for his. At an
other, a colored woman, who could
not read, asked for help in marking
her ballot. There was no laugh
ing or chatting, no flippant remark,
but the assistance was given grave
ly and in good faith. At another
polling place, they saw the oldest
woman voter in the city, Mrs.
Richard Sophris, aged 81, walk
proudly in with head erect and
give her name in a clear voice. In
one of the most fashionable pre-
cincts where women comprise IS
per cent of the total registration,
one of the judges said, "The
women always turn in a heavy
vote here and we have no trouble
trying to get them to do it. They
come early, as a rule, and they
have their own ideas about what
they are doing"
Governor-elect Shafroth, of Col |
orado, has been a staunch woman
sufragist for years, and the women
rejoice at his election, as they do
IN that of Judge Lindsey, who ran
On an independent ticket and is
said to have been elected by the
votes of women.

Aggressive Tactics Of Southern
Women.

Interspersed with the election re-
turns in New Orleans, the night Of
November 3rd, the following SEN
timents were thrown upon illumi-
mated screens, and of course at
tracted much attention;
1.-TWO thirds of the women of
New Orleans are taxpayers why
can they not vote for city officials ?"
Taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny is as true in 1908 as
in 1916. Women are taxed. Why
can they not vote ?"
There are 5000, 900 women
wage-earners in the United States.
A square deal demands for them
with men the right of the
ballot"
Women vote in Australia,
Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden,
why not in America ?"

fifty pound dog which he could choke
to death in three minutes. l have seen
a charging ram scatter half a dozen
men, any one Of whom could have
mastered the brute in Il moment, and
not one of whom was in ordinary mat

record of men who with their bare
hands have held and baffied an ugly
bull, but it was only the pressure Of
grim necessity that taught them their
powers. Put man against an animal
and the man looks around for weap-
ons or support, whether he needs them
or not. There was time when he did.
For man, today the most lordly of
animals, was once well nigh the most

English for Delaware High
Schools.

In The High School Course
in English, Delaware College Bull
letin, Vol ", No. ", the au-
thors endeavor to outline a course
in English for the four years of the
high school and to give practical
suggestions for the effective teach
ing of composition and literature.
After the Introduction, which en-
phasizes the necessity of uniform
course in English for Delaware
high schools and of thorough COM
petence on the part of the teacher,
a concise statement is given of the
aims of the English work in the
high school. Sections " and V
are devoted to definite directions
for the teaching of composition and
literature.
The main points in the former Of
these selections are Cd that the
teachers must be competent and in
terest in his work CD that the
work be conducted Systematically
Cd that the most successful subject
for compositions are those which
are based largely on the observation
experience of the pupil Cd that all
compositions should be carefully
criticised by the teacher and return
ed to the pupil for revision or re-
writing; 60 that the textbook
should be book in which the ex
erices in composition and the dis
cussion of the rhetorical principles
are closely correlated. In section
V the authors saythat some books
should be read very carefully in
class, especial stress being laid on
the study of words and sentences,
but several should be assigned each
year for outside reading, and that {
memorizing should form part of
the work of each year
Following these suggestions for
the entire work in English, comes
a clear, thorOughgoing outline of :
the work OF each of the four years. +
By the end of the first year pupils r
should be we'll grounded in the b
grammar of the language and able b
to write compositions with reason g
able accuracy aud clearness. If p
The instruction has been thorough, d
pupils should have a fairly good -
understanding of the sentence, the
unit of discourse. In a
he second year, the work in COM h
position is closely correlated with OIL
he study of the principles which n,
govern all good writing. In the vi
bird and fourth years of the course, tu
more time than in the preceding al
ears shou d be devoted to the ~ ~
tudy of the English classics and IN IN
,ther work in literature. m
The lists ofbooks for reading and
tudy for each year of the course CT,
re entirely ample, and the biblio- ar
raphy Opp. 37-4o) offers a very Us
God collection of books for the W.
