Mothers Should Be Lawyers.
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz OF Los
Angeles. Cal, who is not only a lawyer
but an assistant district attorney OF her
home county. was a visitor In New York
recently Mrs. Foltz advances the rath-
er novel proposition that every mother
should be lawyer. Here is how she
puts IL: There arc many thousands OF
women in these United States who have
absolutely no Idea OF the laws Of their
country How can these women expect
TO raise their children as good citizens
Therefore l say that every woman should
study law, going through law school, II
possible. II not. they should at least
gain a general knowledge OF its princi
pies In my opinion the study OF the
principles OF law should be compulsory
part OF the curriculum OF every school In
the United States"
"Of course. you arc a great advocate
of woman suffrage Mrs. Foltz?" ! asked,
Indeed / am. For many years l have
been interested in ii, l believe. however,
ways, but by quiet and effective argu-
ment. When l meet a man who tells me
that the home is woman's sphere, ] do
not sneer at him, l respect his ideas,
We have all been brought UP with the
idea that woman's place is the home. II
is very hard to uproot old and long
standing prejudices. Now, what is wo-
mans spherep In my opinion II is to
perform all those duties for which woman
is fitted, as well as 10 do as many as
possible OF those OF man, in order that
she may be, indeed, what she should
be, mans helpmate and companion In
life"
Is Practitioner at-Law.
Mrs FoltZ has practiced law for a num-
ber of years. and bsr great speciality Is
law. She was the nrst wo-
man admitted to the bar on the Pacific
coast. was the first woman trustee OF
the State Normal school OF California,
and was the representative OF the Cali
fornia bar al the Worlds Columbian ex-
position at Chicago, I'm 1893. She Is very
much interested In all work tending to
ameliorate conditions In penitentiaries
and was the author Of the parole system
now in force in the California state
prisons.
