women superintendent. Miss Edna
Corbet, a former Topeka girl, is now
holding the office of county super
intendent in Colorado. In Colorado
Springs the cottage system of school
buildings is being adopted. This means
that instead of erecting one school
building to serve the ward, an admin
istration building is made the center of
the school affairs, and grouped around
this building are a number of smaller
buildings for the different grades or
set of grades. That method. of course,
is expensive, but the miIlionaires in
Colorado Springs are willing to pay the
price. The basis on. which the women
build their campaign for the office of
state superintendent was quite aptly
expressed by eastern woman who
made the run for that office and failed
because she could not have the sup
port of the women. Her cards we're
printed with this sentences: Nine
tenths of the teachers of the state are.
women; one half the parents of the pu-
pills are women; one-half of the pu-
pills will be women
