SCHOOL BOARD
Various Clubs Join in Movement
to Secure Repre-

To be represented on the Board OF
Education is the wish of a umbe OF
women's clubs and associations of Ar

Literary Club. the Civic Club, the W.

dist Episcopal Church.
Each of the above organizations will
send a committee to a conference to be
held to discuss the matter more thor
oughly.
The subjoined resolutions are in the
form passed by the Ladies' Association
of the Fist Presbyterian Church, but
the other bodies took action on identical
forms:
Whereas, The duties of boards of
education are such as could be shared
by women with great advantage to the
schools. The location and construction
of school buildings, the selection and
oversight of teachers, most of whom
are women; the selection of studies n
text books and the discipline of pu-
pills, half of whom are of their own
sex, are matters with which women
are deeply concerned and peculiarly
fitted to lea with intelligence and wis
dom; and
Whereas, The laws of New Jersey
wisely authorize the election of women
as members of school boards; and
Whereas, The Board of Education of
the Town of Kearny consists of three
members from each of the four wards;

easy to mend?" asked the matron,
with proper severity, upon which the
tousled head nodded in the affirmative,
and the grin broke out In earnest. The
incident gave me to understand more
clearly than ever just upon what basis
the home is run. The children are al
lowed to be happy, and to be frank
concerning their scrapes as well as
anything else. Their propensity for
getting into mischief is just as marked
as that of any child who is growing
as rapidly as he should, and whose ap-
petite is growing, too.
