VI "A Y HEN a woman is mention A N 4 ed for the presidency of W V an association that is one
 V V of the greatest and most

W A E HEN a woman IS men1On-
 N N& S ed for the presidency of
 " k an association that is one
 of the greatest and most influential in America 1t follows as an obvious conclusion that she is not an ordinary woman. Such is the case of Miss Grace Charlotte Strachan, school official of New York, whose name has been brought forward prominently as that of a candidate for the presidency of the National Educational association. Miss Strachan denied with modesty re- gently that she was an aspirant for the office, but her admirers asserted that they would support her. She has earn ed nation wide recognition, they said, for her work in behalf of the women teachers of New York city.
 The association will meet in annual convention in Chicago July 6 to F. The members will discuss educational prob lems which have arisen in the past twelvemonth, and they will signify their appreciation of the work of some of thVr leaders by electing them to office. There is an unWritten law of the association which forbids the re- election of the president, so Carroll c. Pearse superintendent of schools of Milwaukee, Wis, will vacate his place at the head of the country's school masters and marms. It may be that he will live in the annals of the asso- citation as the president who succeeded a woman, Ella Flagg Young of Chica- go. and was succeeded by another, Miss Strachan.
 Two circumstances, one dependent on the other, have combined recently to bring Miss Strachan prominently be- fore the educators and general public of the United States. The first was her carrying to a successful conclusion last year the fight, several years in the waging, for "equal pay for equal work for women teachers of New York. As head of the InterbOrough Association of Women Teachers of New York Miss Strachan fought long and hard in leg islative halls and out of them for her contention that women who did the same work as men should receive the same pay. Her success, after many failures and discouragements, was her aided far and wide.
 The second circumstances to which reference has been made was the move ment by the women teachers of New York to mark their appreciation ot Miss Strachan's work in their behalf by presenting to her a large sum ot money. The income was to make her financially independent for life. The amount of the fund to be raised was estimated at between $100.000 and S200,- 900. The money was to be raised by voluntary assessment on the women teachers who have benefited by Miss Strachan's activity. The highest amount named S20O. 900. is about the sum gain ed in one month by the women school teachers of New York through the

article. Just take a look at her back look out for those jaws please!-and see whether it is marked with the pat tern plainly discernible in the picture. If it has the diamond back markings of the real palustris you may order portion in safety Provided your pock- etbOok will stand the strain.
 In the most expensive New York ho- tels recently terrapin was quoted at $4 to S5 a plate, but in the very, very ex elusive University club, wherein no one may dine unless he has a degree, or is introduced by a degreed member, ter rapin was listed at S3. But-whisper | it sOftly-it was reported that it was i not the diamond back that was served | in the beautiful gray building on Fifth avenue, but a more humble relative. | Let's learn little about this aristo- l crat of the reptile world that costs so much per mouthful In the first place. she is an inhabitant of salt and brack l ish waters. living in the marshes which 1 fringe the North American coast from l Cape Cod to Texas. The other terra | pin. not the diamond back, are found | sometimes in fresh water. The dia mond back was formerly very abun- darnt on her native marsh, but her | toothsomenesS has been her undoing. | The incessant extensive fishing to | which she has been subjected has re | duced her numbers and has raised her price The principal fisheries are now in Chesapeake bay and on the coasts of New Jersey and North Carolina, but | there are also artificial hatcheries in 1 addition to the natural breeding l grounds
 Although some terrapin are dug from the mud while hibernating by far the larger number are captured by means of seines, traps, etc, during the sum mer months and are confined in pens, where they are fed on oysters, fish, celery, soft shell crabs, etc, to i'm l prove the delicacy of their flavor. The terrapin commonly sold have a length of shell of from five to eight inches and are from six to ten years old. The | terrapin does not submit easily to cap l ture. When she feels the net drawing about her she tries her hardest to get away. She knows how to swim very well and even on land Is swifter than almost any other variety of turtle or tortoise.
 With increasing scarcity the price of the terrapin has mounted fast. Thirty odd years ago it was quoted some times as low as $4 a dozen. Now $1O apiece is considered a moderate de- mand, and J. P. Morgan, the connois- seur in terrapin as in other things of more intrinsic and less edible value pays for his terrapin s150 a dozen.
 Throughout this article the terrapin has been referred to as "she" That is because in the terrapin family the fe- male rules the roost. Her flesh is far more delicate than that of the male, and it is only the female terrapin that commands the big prices. Besides, the males do not attain nearly so large q growth as their mates.

 Miss Strachan is woman of dis tinction in person and in achievements Tall and well built, she radiates a sense of the power and determination that have stood well by her in the fight for recognition of the women teachers claims.
