Women on the School Board.
baltimore Sun.l


Represen tatives of the wo,nen's cluhs
OF Baltimore have requested the Chart
er revision commission to so frame
the law that the appointment of two
women on the school board shall he
compulsory This request is worthy
OF consideration by the commission.
The presence OF two women on the
school board might be advantageous to
the schools. Questions are constantly
arising OF which women have a special
and almost instructive knowledge. and
the schools may we'll have the benefit
of their aid. Ii is true that under the
present law women are eligible for ap-
polntment, but we believe since this
law was enacted twelve years ago. only
one woman has been appointed. and
she remained on the board for a short
time only.
Intelligent women should be consult
ed in matters Of education generally.
and IN the treatment and discipline of
children especially. But more partic-
ularly are they the best judges of the
education of girls, and the subjects
they should be taught The great ma
Jority of the public school teachers are
women, and it might be well to have
women on the governing board, with
whom these teachers can confer more
freely than they can with men. At any
rate, whatever the commission might
decide to do the matter is we'll worthy
OF thoughtful consideration

The tenth district republicans
failed to endorse the Taft adj
ministration in their recent con-
vention, but gave him a sort of
sop" in a resolution which
reads: I'VE cordially commend
the zeal and sincerity of Presi-
dent Taft in his efforts to enact
into law the promises of our
national platform" This is
mighty weak, but maybe Mr..
Taft can find some consolation
in the fact that he was not en-
tirely forgotten, The incident
reminds us of that district re-

The taking of the decennial

So important is it considered te
be that President Taft recently
issued a proclamation urging
everybody throughout the coun-
try to "anser promptly, com
pletly and accurately all inquiries
addressed to them by the enum-
orators or other employees of
the census bureau. This is ex-
actly what everybody ought to
do. The people can subserve
their own interests and those of
the community in which they re-
side by needing the advice of
Mr.. Taft in this matter. Some of
the questions maybe bit embar-
RAISING, but it should be remem-
bered that the answers will be
held in the strictest confidence
and used only in calculations
bearing upon general results. All
questions have, it is said, been
arranged upon a scientific basis,
carved and modelled upon the ex-
perience .of.this and other coun-
tries. Each has a bearing upon
the ultimate completeness of the
whole, and none could be elimi-
mated or slurred without threat
ening.the efficiency of the final
deductions. Therefore, tell the
census man all about yourself
when he comes around. He is

which must be executed.

Some of the papers are child
ing the Charlotte Observer for
falling all over it self" in the
Shemwell case, which has at
tracted so much attention since
early last winter. The Observer
is charged with having severely
criticised the Governor for e
prieving Shemwell until April,
claiming that a very dangerous
man had been given his freedom
Yet, when the sentence was
committed recently that paper.
for some unexplainable reason,
gave mild endorsement of the
Governors action and attempted
a defense of Shemwell against
the charge of proposing to hold
up another train only a few days
ago. The Observer referred to
the second incident editorially as
an April fool, after declining to
publish the story, and a day or
two later saddled the response
bility upon a jury which had ac-
quilted Shemwell on the charge
of murder fifteen years ago. It's
position is just a little bit laugh
able, to say the least.

Simmons from the congressional

sufficient reason. He is the hard
est worked man on the North

self an injustice and necessarily
neglecting other important mat

President Taft delivered an.
address before the League of Re
publican Clubs of the District of
Columbia last Saturday evening
in which he mildly suggested
that insurgent republicans, who
claim to be the real thing, must
prove their faith by their works.
Mr.. Taft said he was "glad the
republican party still lived.
Said that he did not want to
read any man out of IT, party,
but that "by their d gthey
should be known" He Iurther
suggested that good republicans
would go about the work Of
enacting the legislation which is
now before them. Mr.. Taft
does well to congratulate his
party upon the fact that it
still lives after a years lex
perience with his administration
of affairs. Another twelve
months like the last will find the
whole business in the hands of
a receiver. That the Taft adj
ministration has been a dismal
failure is generally admitted by
all well informed people.
