WOMAN SUFFRAGE WON

New York, Nov. g. Advocates of
woman suffrage were delirious with
joy today. Four out of five states were
carried yesterday for amendments
striking the word male" out of the
state constitutions.
Only Wisconsin rejected sugrage.
Arizonu, Oregon, Kansas and Michi-
gan, approved and the women in those
states now have the same. rights as
men.
The socialists probably defeated the
amendment in Wisconsin.

Of the chronic clock watcher. If you
are close observer you have seen
many people of this kind. who are
afraid they will work one second
overtime. They scorn to hit a lick
after the whistle blows; when they
have it to do they never fail to turn
in a bill for overtime.
The men in the business world
who are drawing the big salaries
are men who have been accustomed
TO working early, late and hard. If
they We're ever messenger boys they
never played marbles when delivering
messages. They always worked with
the employers interest at heart.
The attitude of most employees to-
day is wOefully wrong. They think
they are ill-treated by their employ
ers. that promotion doesn't come Of
ten enough. Most of the trouble is
in their laZiness. They do not de-
serve prOmitiOn.
The men who put a price upon
their time by the hour will continue

men who today fill and will continue
to fill tirst-rank positions are those
who put the price upon their ability.
This proved and promotion comes.

Nezv Sunday School Ideas

were learning by another principle,
to imagine themselves in the place
Of the characters they had been
studying.
In the next school you saw the
children making scrap-boOks. An
outline of the lesson story was writ
ten on one page before the children
came to the class. In class they were
given picture appropriate to the
lesson. to paste opposite the lesson
story Underneath the picture was
tion which had been assigned in ad-
vance.
In none of the schools did you find
the classes studying the same lessons
at the same time. All of the Sunday
schools in Columbia are graded. on
the same plan as the public schools.
Biographies of Bible characters. the
children of the Bible, the journeys of
Moses, the Apostle Paul, Old Testa-
ment heroes. and studies in the Cos
pels may all be lessons for one Sun
day in the same school. The lesson
is chosen and adapted to the under
standing of pupils of different ages.
Not only in the primary depart
ments of COlumbia's Sunday schools
would you be surprised on your
visit. In the intermediate and adult
departments you would find many
of the classes organized for social
work outside the school. In several
of the schools you would find an Or

In one school you were told that
a class of boys of IA and 16 years
old were planning to buy books and

saved by staying away from picture
shows. Another class of older boys
was to have a club room for weekly
literary and social meetings fitted up
by the efforts of its own members,

Perhaps your idea of Sunday
School is that of an institution
which for an hour every Sunday
morning allows piOusly impractical
grownups to preach prosy homilies
of their own make from some Scrip
ture text to lot of restless. very
much-alive youngsters who seize the
back of the quarterly to refresh his
opportunity (while the teacher peers
stealthily at the commentary in the
back of the quarterly to refresh his
memory to inaugurate game of
football with the hymn-book. If this
is your idea of the modern school,
then you have evidently not been on
a visit to Columbia's Sunday schools
recently.
If you had gone on such a visit, say
last Sunday. for instance, you would
have been little puzzled to reconcile
your former notion of the Sunday
schools with what you were actually
seeing.
In one Sunday school room you
would have seen sand-table, such
as is used in manual training work
in the public schools. 1t was sur
rounded by children who were ar
ranging setting to illustrate the
lesson. which they (nOt the teacher)
had just been discussing. The les
son had been the Feeding of the
Five Thousand. The sand was
carefully racked up to form the
mountainside, gradually sloping
down in lower ranges that encircle
the lake, bare space in the centeer
of the table. Out on the lake was a
paper boat, three fishermen in it. On
the hillside We're green paper trees.
Underneath the trees. and but very
little smaller. were the five thousand
people, represented by about a dozen
white paper figures.
That was all-but to the children
the whole scene was actually occur
ing before their eyes. When they
had completed the placing of the fig
ures. one child was allowed to eX-
plain the meaning of the scene. and
tell the story that it represented. The
others all listened attentively. and
several times eager hands shot into
the air. when one of them wished to
correct or add to the story as it was
being told. They knew what their
lesson had been about and they were
interested in it. And the teacher
was doing less of the talking than
any one of the pupils. Your precon-
ceived notions of the modern Sunday
school were becoming a little unset
tied.
You went into another classroom.
This time the lesson was about the
man who went down to Jericho and
fell among thieves. After the discus
sion of the lesson story, the various
characters were given to the children
to be acted out. One was the trav-
eler, one the Priest, another the Le-
vite. and still another the Good Sa-
maritan. The acting went smooth
ly: the naughty aloofness of the two
who passed by on the other side were
no less well-simulated than the care
full kindness of the Samaritan. The
injured man was taken to the inn.
and the innkeeper was paid for his
care. If the paving of the innkeeper
