that the matter is to be presented also
at this biennial and an active crusade

The Library Extension.
No work undertaken by the club
women has been more productive Of
good results than that Of library eX-
tension. The greatest advance in Ii
brary extension in the history Of the
world has been made during the last
decade, and to a large extent this can
be traced directly to the influences OF
the women's clubs Hundreds OF
towns now have well patrOnized public
libraries which owe them entirely to
the women's clubs. Most Of the Car
negle libraries owe their existence as
much to the club women as to Mr..
Carnegie himself, as it is their influ-
ence which secured the cooperation Of
the town authorities. As in forestry
and educational departments, the clubs
have in most instances worked in CO.
operation with the library commits

and endeavOred to secure them where
they did not Through their influence

Travelling Libraries in many states or

clubs. The state declarations first sent
out travelling libraries, containing an
assortment of general literature, to the

secure libraries of their own many Of
these club Libraries consisted of spe-
cially selected books suited to the work
OF the club classes, The wOmen's clubs
also contribute largely to the libraries
of the public schools and to libraries
upon special subjects for the good OF
the town, not to be found in the or
binary public library. The selection
Of books for a health library is a mat
ter to which many clubs are now Civ

OUR WOMEN WORKERS
By Ebert HUBBARD.

sail ships, mine ores, and build build
ings that scrape the sky.
Yet, in spite of these facts, the in
surance actuaries much prefer to in
sure men who are abroad in the world
doing things than to accept risks on
women who abide in the safety of the
home and are protected and shielded
on every side. From this there is only
one conclusion, and that is, that to be
, married and keep house, and to have an
income and do nothing, are hazardous
undertakings.
1t is not the dangers of childbirth
that make women a bad risk-it is the
paucity of their lives If it were the
dangers of motherhood, the insurance
companies would not refuse women
over so, but married women, and those
unmarried, who are provided for, are
placed in the same category.
The real fact is, few women, COM
paratively, are admitted into the work
OF the world. Woman is the slave OF
her housek eeping-the salve of a man.
When she gets married she throws up
her job. And in New York, if she is
a school teacher, her marriage is equal
to resignation Hence the misery
that leads to the ether cone, the lga-
ture and the scalpeL
And that is the reason why life in
surance companies, as rule, will not
insure the lives of married women.
The average married woman has no
high purpose in life-no output for
her ambition, no rock upon which she
can strike ner lntellect and cause the
yelling waters of life to flow.
She has tasted of life and found it
alkaline-au there is for her now is
submission. She is a passive party. So
the insurance actuary, viewing the av-
erage married woman with his cold,
calculating, financial eye, declares her
a hazardous risk, and passes her up.
Give women the ballot 1t will help
to enlarge their lives, improve their
mental and physical estate, and make
them better risks Also, it will make
them better companions of men.
