"In Kentucky it was enacted
that the State Superintendent shall
act as special State inspector and
examiner of all schools in the State
which receive public funds; for
this service he is to receive 81, 800
additional salary; he may appoint
two assistants at 81 90 each per an
mum, with their expenses for trav-
cling; and he is allowed $4,000 adj
ditional for clerk hire. In vague
and general way the Superinten-
dent probably had already the pow
er given him by this law, but it is
now definite and specific, and the
additional help given him will en-
able him to perform his duties in
an effective manner not possible
hitherto. And the 81, 800 added to
his salary will prove to be a differ
ence that is very real.
Although the tendency is to in
crease the power and responsibility
of the State Superintendent is
very strong, salary inducements
have not always kept pace with
the requirements, according to the
report. at is still unfortunately
true" says Mr.. Boykin, "that in
many cases the superintendent of
the large cities and the heads of all
the important institutions in a
state receive considerably higher
salaries and have far more certain
Tenure than the man who is nom-
inally their official superior. "

SUFFRAGE WORK IN DELAWARE.
A Sketch Of The Local Association

Aho DCldWdIS HQudl suffrage
Association, ever active in the
cause of women's rights" con-
Quoted interesting meetings last
Saturday, the occasion being
marked by the presence of Miss
Mabel Vernon, a former Whining
tonian. Miss Vernon is enroute for
Washington after a successful cam
paign in New Jersey, to join the
suffrage forces who will present a
petition to Congress on Thursday,
urging favorable vote on the Sen
ate bill, to grant the franchise to
women.
Local Suffrage workers have
been busy during the last week cir
culating petitions through all parts
of the State in order that Della
wares Senators may realize the
sentiment that prevails in their
home community.
The Delaware Equal Suffrage
Association has been working en-
Enthusiastically for over twenty
years. The Sunday Star of July
27 gives an interesting sketch of
the history of the association from
which the following facts are taken.
The idea of representation for
women was first emphasized in the
State by Mrs. Mary A. Stuart of
Greenwood, who added blue hen
to the Republican float figuring in
the campaign Of 1884, declaring it
should bear not only an eagle to
represent freedom for men, but
also hen to repl esent the women.
In 1883 the State Women s Chris
tian Temperance Union adopted
the franchise department with Mrs.
Patience Kent as superintendent,
and held several public meetings.
In 1889 Mrs Martha S. Cranston
was elected her successor, and still
occupies the position.
The first distinct suffrage club in
the State was the Equal Suffrage
Association of Wilmington, started
on November 1S, 1895, with %
members. Organization was effect
ed by the election Of Lea Pusey,
Chairman and Mrs. B. Lundy Kent
Secretary. A committee on consti-
tuition, consisting Of Mrs. Mary d.
Fulton, Miss Mary R. DeVow, Mrs.
T. Allen Hilles and Miss Mary A.
Wilson, was appointed to draft a
constitution for the Society.
After it's adoption, nominating
committee consisting of B. Lundy
Kent, Albert G.. Thatcher, Miss
Mary Wilson and Mrs. A. d.
Warner, made the following nom-
nations Miss Emma Worrel, pres
ident; Mrs. B. Lundy Kent, vice
president; Miss Emma Lore, Sec
retary; Miss Rachel S. Rowland,
treasurer; Mrs. L. Allen Hilles,
Mrs. Mary A. Fulton, A. G.
Thatcher, members of the executive
committee. On motion, the above
became the first officers of the Will
mington Association.
STATE ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED
On January II and lo, 1890,
Rev. Henrietta G. Moore, OF ONO,
and Miss Mary Garrett Hay, now
president of the New York State
Federation Of Women's Clubs as
sisted in a convention at Whining
ton, where a state organization
the Equal Suffrage Association OF
Delaware was formed.
In his words Of welcome to this
first suffrage convention in Della
ware, Chief Justice Charles b. Lore
always staunch friend to the
movement, INDUCED in the inter-
esting reflection, that there was no
place in America, that owed more
to a woman than Wilmington. 1t
was Hannah Shipley, who stood on
the hills and decided to settle here.
There was an election at that time,
the Judge mused, between Hannah
