A White Violet Wedding,

If you have a violet wedding, It
would be a clever idea to have white

should carry white violets and have
her table decorated with them, and
white carnations with ferns used for
other tables, or purple violets and
maidenhair ferns

Keep The Jungle Law.

Among the laws of the jungle is this
The kill of the pack is the meat of
the pack;
You must eat it where it lies,
And no one must carry away of that
meat to his lair, or he dies.
The instinct of wild animals teaches
them that they must not allow garbage
in their caves. They keep their lairs
clean. Primal man and individual man
seem to know and live this law. How
ever, Plato tells US we can only judge
men by their group actions, in other
words, we are judged by the town in
which we live. A town is called a
clean town only when all the citizens
observe all sanitary regulations. We
may not be able to prove just why or
how it is, but there is no doubt but
that communities do not thrive unless
they clean up after themselves. Any
other policy means a low standard of
! living, and low standard writes its

all kinds of diseases. An unclean town
is town of low standards, and town
of low standards is a town of high
death rates. This is the strongest ar
gument for cleanliness. If town al
lows manure heaps, Overlooking garbage
and accumulations of filth it is not a
good place in which to live, a town
where one fifth of the babies die before
l year of age is town to which no
family man of moderate means can af-
ford to live, for his doctor bills eat up
his wages. Would that communities

Never Get A Lick Amiss.

Danville has an organization known
as Mothers Club" which is doing
much good in school work. When We
were an urchin, there was also moth
er's club. 1t generally stood in the
corner or lay on a convenient shelf,
and this club likewise accomplished
much good, not only in school but other
kinds of work. -Danvile Messenger.

Women In The Schools.

There surely is cause for women to
rejoice over the advance members, of
the so-called weaker sex, have made
from the educational ranks to the
highest administrative positions in the
public school system of the United
States.
There are now 495 women county
superintendent in the country, accord
ing to the figures compiled by the
bureau of education. This is nearly
double the number of ten years ago.
And four States-Colorado Washing
ton, Idaho and Wyoming-have women
at the head of their schoo systems. In
some of the States women appear to
have almost monopoly of the higher
positions.
The case of Wyoming is one to bring
the greatest joy to the feminine heart.
/ The State has woman state superin-
! tendent, woman deputy State super
intendent, and Is of the IA counties are
directed educationally by women.
In Montana, where there are 30
counties, only one man is reported as
holding the position of county superin-
/ tendent.
The increase in the number of women
county superintendent is most con-
spicuous in the West, but is not con-
fined to that section New York re-
ports AZ women district superintend-
ents, as against IL school commissioners
in 1900.
/ Together with the advancement of
women in the administrative branch of
education has come a demand for
women on local school boards, and this
demand has been recognized in many
communities. The following cities of
100, 900 population or over report one or
more women on the school board: New
York, Chicago, Cleveland, San Francis
co, Milwaukee, Washington, Indiana
polls, Rochester, St. Paul, Denver,
Columbus, Worcester, Grand Rapids,
Cambridge and Fall River. Numerous
smaller municipalities have adopted
the idea.
The important place assigned to
women in American education has be-
come so usual as to excite little COM
ment in this country; yet American
conditions in this respect are the re-
Verse of those of most nations. 1t is
probably safe to say that in no other
country in the world are there as many
women teachers proportionally as in
the United States; in fact, men teach
ers greatly outnu der the women in
most European counties.

ballot vote will be taken, selecting the

known as "Spotless Town" if Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison, wife of the wizard,
has her way, Mrs. Edison is president
of the West Orange Town Improve
ment Association, and heads a COM
mittee, which tries to keep the streets
clean. She discovered that the town
scavenger was not keeping the streets
clean, and when he reported that he
could not do so until the residents quit
throwing refuse into the streets, Mrs.
Edison went out to investigate. For
several days she watched houses and
then appeared at the Council meeting
with long list of the names and ad-
dresses of persons whom she said she
saw throwing cans and refuse into the
streets. AS result the Town Council
has promised to get busy.
