THE "NEW WOMAN"
Thinks She Has Just as Much Right to
Be at the Head of all Establishment
as Man.

Lottie Ate Weir in the New Orleans
States declares that 'the new woman
thinks she has just as much right to be
at the head of an establishment as the
man has. She has he same right to go
where and when she pleases unaccom-
panied and unobserved.
And why not, if she possesses mans
ability to manage and direct the bust
ness successfully?
'She finds that this is just as good if
not better than little jaunts with an ar
dent suitor," says Lottie Ate Wier
What can the ardent sutton do for
her that sre can not do for herself?
THAT is the question that assails the
mind of the modern girl, and it can be
answered almost in one woodworking
The only avenue that is now left open
for him is to promise to give up smok
ing or to pass up dear friend when in
vited to join him in smile
1T is sad to think that all the great
deeds That used to win lady's heart are
degenerated into such paltry affairs as
giving up favorite vice, or contracting
others to please the lady
with the rise of the new woman
the occupation of the lover is gone. He
can no longer exhibit his ability to pro-
tect her as an asset in winning her affec-
tons. She can probably do the same;
physique. no longer awes the lady of
his dreams and his vows of constantly
overcoming obstacles for her sake are
less than nothing in making her look
kindly on his suit. In permitting women
to educate themselves up to the stand
ard of men, they are shown that man as
an institution is of course pretty good
thing. but, again, they are taught that
they can get along without him indefn-
iely, as they are as we'll equipped to
meet the world as he.
Man can offer them nothing that they
can not get for themselves, and as mat
tiers stand the new woman will not
permit herself the luxury of even a
prosaic love.

SCHOOL BOOKS
As Usual Changes Are Made in the
Books to Be Used During the Next
Four Years.

There was held yesterday in Baton
Rouge 4 lively session of the Board Of
Education at which were present Gov
ernor Sanders. State Superintendent
Harris, Attorney General Guion, d. c.
Scarborough, E, l.. Kidd, A. Britton,
Emile Godchaux. Walter J. Burke and
S. B. McLaurason, and the swarm of
book agents who are in evidence every
four years.
With single exception the board &C
cepted the recommendation of the spe-
cial committee comprising Superintend-
ent Harris, Institute Conductor Ale
man and Mr.. Weber of the high school.
There appeared before the board a
committee of New Orleans educators,
Superintendent Warren Easton, Presi-
dent kronenberg. Mr.. Speakin and Mr..
Loeb. This committees desire was eN-
pressed i'll the fact that they wished to
be relieved of the control of the State
Board of Education i'll the selection of
books for the public schools. In brief,
NeW Orleans wants to select its own
books without any reference to the
State Board They received little en-
enlargement.
1t is reported there was a change of
about forty per cent Of the books used.
This change every four years is not an
ticipated with relish by the parents and
guardians who must provide the books
at considerable outlay. but the agents
are generally more successful in obtain
their opposition.
What do the people know of books,
and why should their objection to these
changes be needed? If there were no
changes in books how could the book
manufacturers thrive, and how could
the book agents hold on to their jobs ?"
1t is claimed that the dear good pco-
pie" will be saved money in the books
selected. which are cheaper in their cost.
There was strong objection raised
against the adoption of Meyers An
Gent. Medieval and Modern History"
which deals in religious subjects which
should be eliminated from the public
schools There should be engendered no
strife in the public schools over the
issue of creeds or of religious questions,
nor should there be sectional histories,
such as have been used i'll the public
schools of Louisiana and of the South
wherein the Confederate Cause is dis
credited and its leaders are branded as
rebels and traitors. OF recent years
these distortions of history have been
checked and practically eliminated by
committee of Confederate Veterans
with Attorney General Guion as its
chairman. who with his committee has
been Jealous i'll his examination of the
books offered, number of which have
been rejected as they should have been.
