Harvard Professor Says Family of
OF Is About Right.

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. 7.-Charles
W. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward university. believes that woman's
highest field of activity is in the home
and decries the effort of many women
nowadays to push their way into
occupations more distinctively those
of man. In an interview published
here he says that for the normal
woman, the most profitable intellect
uaI growth is to be found in the exer-
else of her talents upon the problems
presented by home making. COM
partnership with her husband and the
vital problems of the rearing of chill
dren.
President Eliot says in part:
1.-THE women who follow the ordi-
nary professions of men who keep
shops, carry on business or devote
their time to the labors of church or
charity will as a rule contribute far
less to the development of them
selves and the race than the normal
women who practice the household
arts. And the woman who becomes
the mother of several children--four,
five or six-has better opportunities OF
developing the best in herself in
tellectually and sentimentally, than
the mother of only one or two chill
dren. The ability to employ servants
is often a hindrance to real growth
for women who are able to employ
others to do their work for them do
not SO surely secure the natural
opportunities for mental development
which the direct and unaided care OF
children provides"

LET THE WOMEN DO 1T.
Woolley Says They Will Settle Saloon
Question If Allowed to Vote.

Chicago, Dec. John G. Woolley,
former presidential candidate on the
Prohibition ticket, took occasion to air
his belief that the dry party mas OUT
lived it's usefulness and that the sa-
looms can only be driven out by the
united efforts of Christian people of all
parties, in an address last night before
the Sunday Evening club at Orchestra
hall.
THE Prohibition party did magnifl-
cent work for a while" said Mr. Wool
ley, "but the trouble got to be that
there We're five times as many Prohibi-
tionists in the Democratic parry as in
the Prohlbitionist party and several
more times as many of them in the
Republican party"
Mr.. Woolley said that the fight
against the saloon will ultimately be
won. Incidentally he said the women
could hasten the day If they were per-
mitted to vote
I'VE are going to win this fight" he
said, land If you men are afrai to
jump into politics and tackle the saloon
for Coils sake enfranchise your wo-
men and let them do it."

CessiOns. with more than average his
torical character of books, manuscripts,
relics and pictures received. an inter-
esting and significant impetus to the
membership, two additions to the work
ing force, and an appropriation and

remarkable year.
The following extracts from the Sec
retarys report will be of interest to
ali Kansars:
From the LIST of January to the LIST
Of December, 1868. we have sent out a
little over 1000 letters. Many of these
are formal business letters, but hun
dreds of them are answers to inquiries
about certain features of Kansas his
tory. Many Of them requir hours OF
INVESTIGATION before answering. We have
here a great correspondence school
along this line of work. Some of these
letters should be given the public, but
It is not always practicable.

EIEUTENANTs ARE EXPENSIVE.
Requires $4,000 to Develop Each One
From Raw Material

Washington, Dec. 7.-Col. Hugh Scott.
superintendent of the military academy
at West Point, estimates that it costs
the govern ment of the United States
$4,000 to produce second lieutenant
out of the raw material which Is sent
to that institution from the several
states and congressional districts ever y
year.
In making this estimate he bases his
calculations upon the current expenses
of maintaining the academy, which are
about $1,000,000 year, and the average
number of cadets for the last few
years, which has been about 400.
He does not take into account the
original cost of the educational plant
or repairs or improvements or the in
terest upon the investment which the
government has made in the facilitie5
for educating soldiers, which, by the
way, are unsurpassed elsewhere in all
the world.
