WHAT WOULD DICKENS SAY?
"As to Suffrage7 1t Would De.
pend on the Girl" Powvs Saws

y -
What would Dickens say to the surYrag-
ettes?"
John Cowper Powys, Of Cambridge Trni-
Versity, England. looked distressed at the
question. 1t was after his lecture on
Dickens, at the League for Political Edu-
cation, yesterday morning at the Berkeley
Theatre.
''Why-why-well. I declare he gasped,
you've got me there. What would Dick
ems say about suffragettes? Dear me, l
don't like that question. because, you see.
I'm afraid Dickens wouldn't like them, and
I do. / tell you, though. If Dickens didn [
like them II would be because Of prejudice.
When he came TO know them personally,
he'd relent Yes. I'm sure, If one of your
young and pretty engaging little suf-
fragettes got hold Of him he'd hand over
his dollar in no time. sign the pledge and
be loyal suffragist for ever after"
HE wouldn't like the heavy, intellectual
type Of suffragist?"
NO; oh. / suppose not: but the anUs
are worse; he wouldn't like them. either.
You see, It would all depend on whether
the suffragists were clever enough TO send
lovely. vivacious. charming young
woman TO convert him. That was what he
liked"
What Dickens would say TO American
women in general was one of the themes
of Mr.. Powys's lecture--a lecture. by the
way. the like OF which for speed and ex-
citement has not been seen or heard for
many a day. Dickenss own flights OF
rhetoric seemed slow in comparison with
this Bleriot monoplane OF an orator.
While the adJectives whlrred and clattered
over his teeth he tramped up and down
the stage, tapping the long black sleeves
OF his scholars gown or clutching franu-
calIy at his black curls as II to hold on TO

REBUKE PARENTS OF CITY

Where are the mothers OF New York?

| Jones that I'm general the twentieth century
parent is a pretty slack article. She said:
The fathers and mothers arc foisting on
! the schools work that really can only be
| done ut home. Our teachers can't be spe-
cialists. for in a city where YOU cannot get
the classes below fifty, teachers can't spe-
| calize with individual children. Then, our
| teachers arc not trained for the sort Of
| thing the school regime calls for. Our
| schools have too many fads and frills; they
! arc trying to take tho place OF the home,
which perhaps Is the reason that parents
| are getting away from the home life and
| leaving their children too much to the
schools.
Miss Knox suggested that the league take
| the education OF mothers in hand.
If you women will concentrate your ef-
! fort on that" she said, we will take care
OF the children to the best of our power"
Mr. Reigart. whose school is on the upper
| West Side thought the children OF the we'll
to-do presented as many problems to the
teachers as the children of the poor. He
added:
There are as many inefficient homes

NEW SCHOOL LAWS.

County Superintendent of Educat ton
Quinn has received from State Super
intendent Of Education Swearingen q
circular letter giving information as
to the educational legislation gotten
through the last general assembly.
Enclosed in the letter are two acts,
for which there Is no room In today's
paper; but which will be published in
full later. Mr.. Swearingen's letter Is
as follows:
The 1912 session Of the Legislature
resulted in fifty-three new acts relat-
ing to education. AS heretofore, a
| large majority Of these refer only to
local conditions and local interests,
and the causes of their enactment are
usually familiar to school district trus-
tees and county school officers.
Any attempt to list these acts in a
| letter would make its preparation
taxing on this Office and its perusal
tiresome to the reader. Full official
information will be contained In the
l1912 statutes and this volume will be
compiled and published as speedily
as possible.
Herewith are sent copies Of two acts
of state wide Importance.
No. 247. An act to provide for con-
solidated and graded schools in coun-
L
| 900 to encourage the same.
No. 2S1. An act to distribute among
the several counties the balance of the
state dispensary fund not otherwise
appropriated.
The consolidated graded school act
will doubtless benefit every county. 1t
| is based on the two fundamental prin-
ciples of local taxation and effective
teaching, and offers a stimulus to
every country community desiring a
good school. 1t will be a pleasure to
see your county utilize promptly the
advantages Of this liberal and con-
lstructive measure.
Act No. 2S1, authorizing the distri-
button of the dispensary balance, must
be considered with reference to Sec
ton 25 Of the general appropriation
tbill, three items of which must also be
Supplied from this fund. These are as
follows:
Item High schools to be paid out
of the dispensary fund, 5000 900
Item 5-For extension of public
schools under acts Of 1910 to be
paid out of the dispensary fund

In the crowds before the guardians OF
the shops could collect their senses and
restrain them. The women who did
not use taxicabs merely walked along
the streets cracking or smashing win
dows with hammers, while crowds fol-
lowed cheering or hooting. The police
were wholly unable to deal with such
a wholesale and widespread outbreak
and at least nine -tentns Of the window
attacking army escaped. The air was
filled with sounds of police whistles,
yells, the slamming Of blinds and the
shrieks of frightened shoppers pune
tuated now and then with cries Of
votes for women" Whenever win
dow was shattered there the crowd
surged, while the employees Of the
shop rushed to the street to prevent
unprotected goods from being stolen.
Not even the establishments of under
takers were spared. So systematically
and quickly was the work accomplish
ed that 1t was we'll over before the po-
lice reserves could be called out. Hun
dreds of extra policemen were on duty
tonight protecting the damaged build
ings while thousands of sight-seers
|tramped the streets to view the havoc
wrought by the women. The suffra-
gette leaders declare that 1t Is their
purpose to continue their campaign Of
window breaking until they force the
government to take up their claims
for suffrage in order to protect busi-
ness interests.

Many people in Yorkville and vicin-
ity are very much interested In the
condition of DR.. Miles Walker OF
Yorkville. In a private letter to the
writer, received last Friday week. Feb
ruary 90, DR.. Walker told how he had
been on the operating table for three
hours: how the physicians had broken
his leg over again, and fastened the
bones together with silver wire; how
he had passed through several days OF
agony and how. though still in more
or less pain at the time of the writ
ing, he was more comfortable. The
letter was not intended for publica-
tion, but one fact that the doctor
stated that he would probably like the
public to know was that there could
physicians who set his leg in the first
place. There was no way of deter
mining the exact nature Of the injury
without an X-ray examination, and
what he should have done, he said
and what he would have done, If he
had not been so far from the railroad,

The Newberry Observer advises
that Democratic newspapers can do no
better than urge upon the Republicans
that they nominate Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Observer gives this advice be-
cause it thinks Roosevelt will be easier
to defeat than any other man the Re-
publicans can nominate. We have
very great confidence in the judgment
of the Newberry Observer in all things
and we respect it's judgment in this;
but somehow we have a feeling that
If the Republicans nominate Roose-
welt, they are going to make political
trouble and a whole lot Of It, We rea-
son like this: While we do not un-
derestimate the power of money In
politics. we believe there Is such a
thing as sending the pitcher to the
we'll once too often. There have been
very few national political victories in
this country that have not been on the
side of the most money. Maybe Mr..
Roosevelt leans towards the money side
and maybe he does not; but 1t seems to
have been established that If he sold
out to f. H. Hartman and others. he
did not deliver quite as completely as
they desired. 1t Is true that he per-
mitted the steel trust to absorb Ten
nessee Coal and Iron. At least there
seems to have been no denial: but it
is also true that he has never won the
complete confidence of the big finan-
cial interests of the country. They
are afraid Of him. Just what the vo-
ters think of Mr.. Roosevelt we do not
know. The only way to determine the
question Is to test it. 1t may be that
they have no more confidence in him
than the financial interests referred
to; but this fact remains: 1t has been
by, through and because Of Mr.. Roose-
| welt that the voters of the country
have become more intimately ac-
lquainted with the political methods Of
the financial interests Of the country
than ever before. AS we see 1t the
result of the nomination of Mr.. Roose-
welt involves quite a mystery. We
believe the financial interests of the
country would fight him; but as to
whether the great mass of voters
would back him up, we just do not
know.
