a Triunnh For Momen.

The election recently OF Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young TO the presidency OF the
National Educational association is
one of the most notable victories that
have come to women in recent years.
This, together with the fact that the
presidency OF the national conference
Of charities and corrections was
awarded TO Jane Adams last year.
would seem to justify the oft repeated
utterance that this is the woman's age.
And yet after NIL there is nothing re
markable about the fact that woman
should be made president OF this great
educational association. Almost more
remarkable is the fact that this honor
has come so tardily TO woman.
Broadly speaking. the teachers or the
country are women. TeacLSig is gen.
orally recognized as woman's profess
sion.
This is true in every branch save the
university and collegiate departments.
The total number of representatives
from those departments is SO much
smaller than from the primary and
secondary schools that the large ma
iority of men in the advanced
branches has little effect upon the to-
tai percentage of men aud women.
But the principal reason for satisfac-
ton mt this election Is not the fact that
the president is woman. but that a
woman who was in every way quail
fed by her past service to the cause or
education to hold this position OF honor
should be eligible 10 the presidency
and. being eligible. should have been
elected.
For once it is possible to witness the
spectacle OF the opposing candidates
going down 10 isnOminious defeat
without n pang Of remorse-
There were six Of them-six brawny
men-an fighting against one woman.
and the woman won. one admits q
grim sort OF satisfaction at the spec
tacle.

Red Cross Christmas Stamps.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp
crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before. While last year less than
100000 stamps were sold, the pres
ent indications point to a sale of near
ly 50,0000O0 for this year.
The Red Cross stamps are issued by
the American National Red Cross, and
are sold for one cent each. They are
designed to be placed upon letters and
mail matter during the holiday sea-
son. The money derived from the sale
of these stamps will be devoted to tu'
berculosis work in the localities in
which the stamps are sold, In this
manner it is expected that about S400,
600 will be realized for the campaign
against tuberculosis in all parts of the
United States.
