the necessity for recognizing the ma

preparation and distribution Of sched-

ton could be undertaken.
The work falls naturally into three
stages-the collection Of material facts

The elixir Of youth lies in the mind
or nowhere. You cannot be young by
trying to appear so, by dressing youth
fully. You must first get rid Of the
last vestige of thought, Of belief, that
you are aging. AS long as that is in
mind, cosmetics and youthful dress will
amount to very little in changing your
appearance. The conviction must first
be changed; the thought which has pro-
duced the aging condition must be re-
versed.
II we can only establish the perpet-
ual youth mental attitude, so that we
feel young, we have won half the bat
tie against old age. Be sure of this
that whatever you feel regarding your
age will be expressed in your body.
It is great aid to the pcrpetua ton
Of youth to learn to feel young, how
ever long we may have lived, because
the body expresses habitual feeling.
habitual thought. Nothing in the world
will make us look young as long as
we are convinced that we are aging.

age than keeping in mind the bright.

When the trainers Of the constitution
decided that population should be the
basis Of representation in the lower
house Of Congress, provision for a sys-
tematic national enumeration of the
people Of the country became a neces-
sity. The constitution ordered that this
enumeration should be made within
three years after the first meeting Of
the first Congress and within every sub
sequent term Of ten years, in such
manner as Congress should direct. Pc
lttical necessity thus forced upon the
new republic the first national census
Of modern times.
Among the ancient peoples it is re
corded that Moses numbered the tribes
in the wilderness and that Satan pro-
Voked David to number Israel. The
word Census" comes from Rome,
where long before the Christian era,
citizens and their property were regis
tered for the purposes Of taxation. In
England, William the Conqueror, to
make more certain the collection Of his
revenues, ordered a great survey Of his
new kingdom, the results of which were
embodied in the 'Domesday Book" But
the census of the United States,
taken in 1890, was the first of mod
ern times. The results of the enumera-
ton were transmitted to Congress by
President Washingttn Oct. 81, 1901, in
a small report containing fifty-six print
ed pages 1t showed a population Of
3,929,214. 1t cost the government $44,-
377 to learn that, with one representa-
tive for every $4,000 people, it's lower
house would be composed Of 1O5 legis-
lators.
AS early as 1910 an attempt to in
clude in the census information per-
tanning to the manufactures Of the
country was made, though it met with
little success. The act Of 1850, which
gave the census work to the newly
created Department Of the Interior and
a census board composed of the Secre-
tary Of State, Attorney General and
Postmaster General, increased the sub
jects of inquiry to include mines, man
ufactures and agriculture.
With each succeeding decade writes
Fl. B. Chamberlain in the Chicago Rec
ordHerald, the scope Of inquiry was
enlarged until the mass Of information
gathered became too large to handle
and was out Of date before it became

did not visit public institutions, as In
these the officials Of the establishments
were required to collect information
concerning the inmates. Special expert
agents were employed to gather data
relating to manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries. City enumerators were
given two weeks in which to make
their rounds. Those in the country
were given a longer time. When emu
merators had finished their work they
delivered their portfolios to the dis
trict supervisors, who in turn sent them
to the central office at Washington,
where a clerical force of 5000, helped
by the automatic punching machine and
the electric tabulating machine, pre-
pared copy for the printing press.
The four principal reports on popu-
lation, agriculture, manufacturing and
vital statistics, when completed, filed

printed matter. With the special re-
ports, which appeared later, they sus

Mrs. Grace West, a pretty little wild

Trenton, the other day after she had
told an amusing love story in which
the chief hero was Albert WetZel, a
crusty old widower, says the New York
World. Mr. Wetzel told the jury,
which for the most part was composed
Of widowers and bachelors, that the
widow had been entertaining the
butcher, the grocer the iceman and
the coal man In her home, and that the
entertainments resulted frequently in
disorder.
When Mrs. West had her inning she
told the jurors in a sweet, plalnttve
voice that Wetzel had tried to play Ro-
meo to her Juliet. He would play a
violin under her window late at night
and then in a loud voice would shout
his proposal to her to come down and
flee with him. On several occasion s
Mrs West told him she had on expert
ence in matrimony and that was
enough. Wetzel insisted, and when the
widow locked the front doors to keep
him out, he bored a hole In the fence
in the rear, being too old to climb

life Is a hell without you," was Wet
ze,'s last proposal to her, Mrs. West
said. During the trial she was asked
just how handsome she thought Wetzel
was. She replied that she did not
think him half as handsome as any of
the men in the jury box. He: acquit-
tai followed few moments later.

The editor of the Popular Science
Monthly asserts that women teachers
are the bane Of the country's schools.
Boys, he says, get but little good from
the teaching Of women and turn away
from 1t when they can. The girls, al
though they need men teachers even
more than the boys" naturally remain
longer under feminine tuition. 1.-THE ul-
innate result Of letting the celibate fe-
male be the usual teacher" he contin-
ues, "has been such as to make it a
question whether it would not be an
advantage to the country if the whole
school plant could be scraped." And
he ungallantly refers to the woman
teacher as "a spinster, devitalized and
unsexed." The characterization Of the
teacher as "a spinster, devitalized and
unsexed" is as far from accurate por-
traiture as anything can be. 1t is a
| gross caricature Of body Of intelli-
gent, patient, conscientious womanly
women who are discharging q function
for which they are eminently fitted. To
be a spinster, 1t should hardly be nee
essary to say, does not imply that a
woman is devitalized or unsexed. We
do not have to so to any magazine edi-
tor for light upon that point. The
woman teacher is here and she will
stay here. Her right to place in the
schools is based on the possession OF
special talent for the work. The prop
er education Of children up to IA or
16 years Of age Is a task requiring
more than mere scholarship and theory.
It requires q tact, patience and ca
pacity to adapt oneself to the individ-

particularly with young children. They
lack the maternal instinct which makes
| the task agreeable to women. The fact
that men avoid that particular work to
so great an extent is as much result
Of an instructive recognition of their
unfitness for it as Of an objection to
the smallness Of the compensation. The
country has nothing to fear from this
recent bugaboo Of the "feminization OF
the schools" "Half Of life is con
duct" and on the conduct" side OF
education the woman's influence is in.
vulnerable. On the strictly intellectual
side her efforts and influence are judi
cious and effective. Too many great
men have proclaimed their lasting debt
to the training Of their mothers to per.
