realizes as yet how much the great
uplift in matters civic. social and ed
vocational is due to the influence OF

routine discipline, their ability to go
to the root OF matters, setting aside
political barriers and legal obstruc-
tons, sometimes enables them to get
better and quicker results than are
accomplished by men even though the
men are holding the offices and are
backed by the public treasury"

door" said a woman, who was strong
