|WOMAN'S PLACE In
THE MODERN WORLD
Average Woman Not Hired to Busy
Marts Because She Loves the
Strife
BY FRANCES sHAFFFR.

ny rNANSES ShAfFf.hs
On the ambitionless. prideless. weari-
some days that come to all once or twice
In a while, does any one doubt that the
average woman who works would be
glad indeed to drop her tools. to run for
home and never go back again?
Orators. writers and just plain folk,
with their voices and pens vibrant with
purpose, feelingly tell u.s. over and over
again, that the crowded, striving world
of bitter competition is no place for
women and that it was a horrible mistake
and strange upheaval of things that
ever sent them adrift from the home.
Sentimentalists proclaim the pity of II
and declare that the sorry spectacle of
woman. lovely woman in the busy
marts Of the world almost makes them
weep, because. they say, year by year,
day by day, well-nigh hour by hour,
contact with the worlds roughness. its
hardness, its strenuousness, and some
times its lack of pity, steals from woman
her subtle charm. her delicacy and real
womanliness. They sorrowfully raise
their eyes and announce the gradual
passing of the oId-time difference that
was felt for woman before she wandered
away from the friendly shelter of home
And they plaintively warn her to come
back before 1t is too late.
But they neglect to offer substitute
for the dollars she earns in the hard
hearted, practical, work-a-day world.
Fail TO Oncr Remedy
They say that the great Maker of us
all never designed things so. and that
in the mighty scheme of the universe
women were created for a higher pur-
pose; that men were made to do and
dare. ~ develop. TO govern and shine
in the world, while women were destined
TO wait for love and to live for duty.
And they insist that home is their only
hitting place.
But they no not announce who shall
keep the home nres burning or VINO
shall pay the bills.

At the Congregational conference
in session at st. Johnsbury this
week some of the speakers urged
that the state should provide a home
other than the industrial school or
the pooghouse for children who are
left homeless and destitute. The
Banner has often harped on this
same subject and is glad to see a
leading church organization take up
the matter. 1t is really an aston
ishing neglect on the part of the
state of Vermont in this second de-
cade of the goth century makes
no provision for a poor helpless
innocent child left without proper
parental care. Sometimes the enigh-
bors interest themselves and a place
is perhaps secured in some quasi
public home or home under church
control. II this fails possibly some
knd-hearted neighbor may take the
child in or find a place where 1t can
exist. Failing there there is the
poorhouse, usually comfortable
home for older derelicts, but always
a bad place for children, owing to
the influence bound to be exerted by
older unfortunates. In fully half the
cases all these supposed methods Of
relief fail and the child is left to
grow up a criminal, or a vagabond,
OF at least has no opportunity to get
a fair start. And then we discourse
in a dazed sort of way about the in
crease Of crime, the growth Of in
sanity, the prevalence Of the social
evil, the menace OF venereal disease,
the curse of drunkenness and the
hellishness OF extreme poverty.
Why shouldn't these things increase
when we do not provide a home and
a chance for the unfortunate chill
dren Of the criminal, the insane, the
extreme poor. or course IL they get
too bad we can yank them into the
juvenile court and send them to the
reform school, but mostly we merely
let them run and take their chance

sible. Last winter the Senate pass
ed bill to provide state home for
such of these little ones as are not
otherwise cared for. The House
killed the bill on the ground that it
would cost some fifty thousand dol
lars and then the legislature proceed
ed calmly to appropriate upwards of
three quarters of million dollars a
year to provide for prisons, work
houses, insane asylums, industrial
schools, criminal courts, sheriffs,
deputies, ETC., to keep the criminal
and insane unfortunates under re-
straint. Just think of the situation
in Vermont-a condition of public
morals and mentality that is costing
the state over three quarters of a
million dollars a year and yet the
House of representatives, not will
fully, but apparently through falling
to grasp the situation, refused to
spend $4,000 in TWO years as pre-
ventive in behalf of the orphaned
children of the destitute and unfor-
tunate. at wre better for him that

The PAGE BILL.

The observer" in last weeks is
sue of the Country Gentleman COM
ments on Senator Pages vocational
training bill as follows: At the close
of the last Congress. when Senator
Page, of Vermont, was insisting that
unless part. at least, of his Vocation
al Training Bill was accepted by the
the Committee on Agriculture, had
tension Bill would be beaten, it was
pointed out by The Observer that
Mr. Page would lose every advant-
age in the new Congress by this
course of action. Representative
Lever, the prospective chairman of
the Committee on Agriculture, had
promised Mr.. Page that his Vocation
al Training Bill would be given an
early hearing and square vote pro
vided he would permit the Agricul-
tural Extension Bill to go through,
but the Vermont senator would not
agree. The bills introduced in the
Sixty-third Congress indicate clear
ly what the legislative situation is to
Ex-senator Page is to be euchred
out of his legislation.
First, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, sponsor for the Lever Bill
in the Senate, has introduced a joint
resolution authorizing the appoint
ment of a commission of nine men,
whose duty shall be to consider the
need and report plan, not later
than December first next, for ma
tional aid to vocational education"
The Georgia senator has also in
troduced bill appropriating $1,000
900 to be used by the respective
states exclusively for the training of
teachers to give vocational instruc-
ton in agriculture, trades and indus
tries, and home economies 1t is
leaf out of the Page
Bill.
Senator Hoke Smith has reintro
duced the counterpart of the Lever
Extension Bill in the
Senate, while Mr. Lever, of course,
has reintroduced his bill in the
House.
Congressman Raker, Democrat. of
California, has put in bill for INA
tional School of Correspondence"
the purpose of which is to make
accessible ito all the people, the
scientific and research work of the
Will Congressman
Flood, Democrat, of Virginia, has
introduced a bill to establish agricul-
tural colleges and high schools in
the several states. All this will
work against the pet project of Sen
ator Page, whose bill has been rein
troduced.
