A Criticism.
In her January message 10 Clubdom
Mrs. Philip Moore, president Of the GEN
eral Federation OF Women's clubs makes
the criticism that in arranging for the
state federation meetings state presidents
are too regardless OF the dates Of other
federation meetings. A conflict OF dates
should be avoided among declarations in
~neighboring states. especially as similar
interests frequently make It desirable for
these presidents to visit neighboring con-
ventions. Mrs. Moore points out that be-
cause OF such a conflict of dates among
the southern state she was obliged to miss
attending several meetings she would have
liked to have attended.

NEVER A MAN TO BE ENvlEp.
PHILADELPHIA Writer'S Idea Of Status
to Be Accorded Bachelor in
Society.

The bachelor Is punished alrc1 dy.
not only in losing the joys of home,
but being an object Of contumely. So
long as bachelors are willing to put UP
with all the losses they sustain In
celibacy far be it from the majesty Of
the law to impose further penalties.
1t was Cicero or man of his day who
remarked that 1t was onerous for n
man to get along with wife, but i'm
possible to get along without one. The
bachelor Is not man--only d more
or less imitation of one-sometimes a
very poor one. He thinks he has a
good time in escaping all the major
responsibilities of life, but he is de-
ceiving no one but himself. AS an
example and a warning he has his
uses in society. AS an individual he
is apt to find that he is eating only
apples of Sodom. The man who de.
liberately remains a bachelor Is al.
ready punished enough. Let him alone
in his misery until some nice girl
comes along and carries him Off And
we may remark that no man Is bach
elor of his own initiative-no matter
how much he may think 30. He is
simply human derelict whom the
women have examined and passed by.
The bachelors are the disjecta men,
bra of society whom no woman will
have. That is awful and 1t Is enough.

a full college course. In fact, the
greatest impeachment is the lack Of a
High school education, without which
he cannot enter college. He is face

study, two or more years of which
must be spent in gaining knowledge
that he should have acquired in High
