Women On School Board.

Lake Charles American-Press,
The Era Club of New Orlea ns is
inaugurating a campaign to pro-
euro al amendment making wo-
men eligible to membership on
school boards and boards OF other
public institutions. The Ameri-
can-Prsss sees no reasons against
such as amendment aud many roa-
sous in favor of it. In nearly
every state except Louisiana NO.
men are permitted to serve as
school trustees and members of
tho boards of education; in fact,
in some of the most enlightened,
women are qualified to vote for
such officers. Women have more
to do with education than men;
the schools are taught for the most
part by women teachers and the
homo education which plays So
large part in the child's upbring-
ing is the work of the mother in
stead of the father. 1t is absurd
to keep all the details of school
management in the hands OF men
who know the least about them
Men generally owe whatever edu-
cation they have to their mothers,
and it is unjust aud retrogressive
to prevent women from exercising
at least equal authority with the
men in school matters.

They dared the desert way.

That rest not night or day.
One star from out the splendor shone.
A rift OF heavens own light
In fearless faith they followed on.
Their eager faces bright.
Three kings were they Of great renown.
And from the east afar
Until il stood Ger Bethlehem town
They journeyed by the star.

And there its light grew dim.
To heavens own Child tho star had led.
Its glory paled for him.

They knelt before the undefiled
That earliest Christmas morn.
Each head was bent to give him praise
Their incense. gold and myrrh
They offered him in glad amaze
Each humble worshiper.
