as men doing similar work and finally
they won out. But the victory has not
been altogether without it's drawbacks.
Heretofore, because Of the. difference
in salaries demanded, the tendency
has been to exclude the men in favor
OF the women wherever possible.
Now, however, the salaries being
equal, the women find themselves diff
ferentiated against whenever men
teachers are procurable The number
of the latter, however, is limited, and
not very many women find themselves
excluded from the better positions.
Out of the campaign for the passage
Of the equal pay bill have grown many
charges Of the corrupt use of money.
At the hearing held in New York
Miss Strachan stated that the women
had spent 100000 to bring about the
passage Of the equal pay law. Miss
Strachan denies that any Of this money
was paid to influence legislation. Most
of it went to lawyers. On the other
hand Owen Behan has been charged
before the grievance department of the
Bar association with having raised a.
corruption fund to further legislation
for the men teachers.

HAVE COURSE IN MATRIM0NY
High School Girls Taught Courtship,
Mothercraft, and Domestic Sci
. ence In Los Angeles, Cal.

Los Angeles, Cal.-A course OF
matrimony has been included in the
curriculum Of the Gardens Agricultural
High school here. Five classes of
girls are daily taking advantage of in
struction in courtship, matrimony, the
care Of babies, mothercraft and do.
nestle science.
It is planned that boys in Los An
geles shall be permitted to take the
course next year, but some doubt is ex.
pressed about the need Of this. It ia
argued that 'the female of the spe.
cies" will be so adept in the matter
Of courtship and marriage by the end
Of the year that she will have little
difficulty in imparting her knowledge
to the less deadly male ....
The girls are taught how to deport
themselves during courtship, and in,
structed in household management,
home dietetics, housekeeping &C.
counts, dressmaking, millinery, and
even in such practical matters as how
plumbers are supposed to do their
work and how much they should be
paid.

Into the hands Of the state Of Illinois
recently, when negotiations were con-
cluded between the Illinois park COM
mission and Ferdinand Walther Of
Chicago, who has owned the property
for the past % years. The papers
signed and exchanged show that the
state paid the sum of $4,000 for the
29O-acre tract, which it is expected
will prove to be the nucleus of one Of
the finest state parks in the country
The new state park preserve lies
ten miles west of Ottawa on the south
side Of the Illinois river, and in addi-
ton to Starved Rock proper consists
of precipitous cliffs, canyons and glens
which rival many Of Americas most
famous scenic wonders.

The fight for the requirement of
Starved Rock by the state for park

the forty-sixth general assembly, al

At that session of the legislature an
