SCHOOLS AS POLLING PLACES.

Since the granting of limited SUI
frage to the women of Illinois ii is
proposed that the school buildings OF
the city of Chicago be used as polling
places, school, of course, to be dis
missed on election days, pupils to be
used to escort voters to the polling
rooms, and teachers to be employed
as election judges at a salary of $500
a day. superintendent Young does
not look on the proposition with much
favor, as she says there are now at
least enough interruptions in he
school WORK. without adding others.
In connection with the general
movement for the popularization OF
the school houses the suggestion has
sometimes been made that the school,
houses in Grand Forks he used as poll
ing places. instead of the places which
are commonly used. The necessity
for this, or its wisdom, is not appar
ent. Every year we have a city cleo
ton to select aldermen, and a school
election. In tine even numbered years
we have a June primary and a general
election in the fall. Every fourth year
We have in addition Il presidential pri-
mary. This means from two to five
elections every year, with the posi-
bility of one or more special elections
for various purposes. There would
necessarily be just that many more
holidays, scattered through spring
and fall. That seems scarcely neces-
sary.
The First ward in this city has no
school house, and the power room on
south Third street is convenient. clean
and entirely suitable. The Third ward
has the fire hall, and the Fifth anoth-
er fire hall the city hall. all pub
lie buildings quite suitable for polling
places. And in the other wards, while
there is no public building, quarters
reasonably adequate are available.
Very roomy quarters are not neces-
sary, as there is no occasion for any
person to remain at the polling place
for more than a few minutes, and the
law distinctly ~discourages tho collec-
ton of crowds at the polls.
The situation is very different in
the country districts, where the school
house is often the only building in the
entire district which is at all suitable
for the holding of an election, and be-
cause elections must he held in hos
buildings school is necessarily closed
on election day. In the city polling
places quite suitable places are not
hard to obtain. n there is no very
good reason why school should be clos.
ed and the school buildings be turned
into election places when other places
are available.

that she was not SO accomplished

and then We'll let you run home. The

Myra set her lips close together.
h was used to Cora and Maud. But
that was a little too inconsiderate.
She had other plans for the afternoon
and evening. Anne LOOMS. who had
gone to school with Myra. also had
got home from Europe and had sent
word that Myra should come over inn
mediately and listen. to a minute ac-
count of the trip. 1t would be the
last day that they could be sure of for
a long time, since school opened the
next Monday. Anne was principal OF
n building.
II there was one thing that Myra
enjoyed more than another II vas lis
tening to Annals descriptions and
watching the gray pompadoured face
crinkle l%aughingly over funny incl
dents. Anne had the enviable knack
Of gathering all the humor of a trip
and bubbling it out in q gay stream.
Myra's small income kept her in
middling comfort, but 1t would not
stretch over jaunts away from home,
and as she complained a bit dolefully
sometimes to Anne-never to any one
else-she was too stupid to work. She
had always longed for Europe. The
next best thing would be listening to
Anne describe it.
But Corr was insistent. "Oh, Aunt
Myra, I think you're mean You can
see Anne any Saturday. And, say,
bring a jar of the grapes that you put
up last week. l want the Juice to col
or some gelatin. I don't like flavors
you buy"
Myra had reluctantly promised to
break her engagement with Anne and
come. She finished the ironing on
which she was engaged, got a hasty
lunch, wrapped up the two-quart glass
jar of stewed grapes and started, aft

with a %plaintive note explaining. Anne
had no telephone.

WOMEN AIDING IN HEALTH
WORK.

One of the biggest health 10Y
is interesting to note. is now enlisting
the earnest support of the women of
this country. 1t is in fact more or
less depending upon their support.
This movement is an effort to improve
the health and efficiency of our 90
100000 school children, and the CO.
operation of the women of America is
being furnished in a number OF ways,
namely: as school teachers, again as
physicians and nurses, as mothers,
and. still again through those nurner-
Gus organizations in which women
play an important part-organizations
like the school Improvement associa-
ton, the parent-teachers' association,
school boards, mothers congresses,
and the several thousand women's
clubs of the General Federation Of
America.
In Buffalo the last week in August
q special feature on the program of
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene will be a session or
ganized under the direction of Mrs. S.
S. Crockett of the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs Of America. Mrs.
Crockett is chairman Of the public
health department Of the General
Federation which is now calling at
tention to the serious importance of
the Buffalo gathering.
In. this connection it might well be
said that no particular field Of work
in the line of health improvement Of
fers a better opportunity possibly than
a movement for the betterment Of the
schools Of today. No problem is more
vital to the mother certainly than the
care and protection Of her children
while they are beyond her sight. All
children go to school, but the condi-
tions under which they go to school
are they what they ought to be? Is
the school room properly heated? Is
It properly lighted? Is it well ven-
tilated? Are the sanitary conditions
surrounding the school house such as
they ought to be? Are the other
school children carriers Of disease? Is
the school session toe long? Is the
mental ccaIition of the school chill
dren taken into consideration when It
comes to the hours Of study? These
are questions which can be asked by
the women Of any community.

ing of an occasional war scare just
to keep the factories busy and the

seems scarcely a reasonable one. The
emperor doubtless has use for the
dividends as he is engaged in various
commercial lines in order to raise a
sufficient personal income. But he is
a sincere believer in the army as an
instrument fer the protection Of the
welfare OF the fatherland. and it is
scarcely to be doubted that whatever
he does to incdease it's efficiency is
done in pursuance of a policy which
he believes to be best for the nation.
