WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARDS.

Mrs. o. |. WOodley in an address
made before tho Woman's Club yester'
day afternoon brought to the atten;
ton Of the public subject that the
men have given very little thought to,
and that Is the desirabiIity Of having
women participate in school elections
and having women serve upon school
boards. She very ably presented this
subject and the logic Of her arguments
was convincing 1t was pointed out
that the women take more interest in
school work than the men, that ma
iority of the teachers were women,
and better results would be had If
these teachers could consult and ad'
wise with a female member OF the
board.
In many States where the women
lo not have absolute suffrage they
have the right to vote on school mat
tiers. This las been the practice in
Kentucky for a number Of years and
persons living along the Kentucky
border have become more or less FL
miliar with the system which has been
very beneficial.

A GREAT FIGHT TO SAVE LIVES.

A GREAT FlGH ~ SAVE L|NEo'
In tho battle against tuberculosis,
almost $l9.0OO,OO0 was spent in the
United States last year, according to
figures obtained by the National Asso'
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF Tuberculosis. This is an increase
OF 90 per cent. over 1911.
May the increase in 1912 be even
greater! One OF the most creditable
things about the American people is
the way in which they have been at.
lacking prevcntabIe diseases. Their
work in Cuba and Panama has set a
new pace. And in the struggle against
tuberculosis. although vast deal Is
yet to be done, they have shown au
ardor and determination which JUS

They generally oppose any other kind
OF commission government.

men TO do the city's work, locates the
responsibility for such service and eX'
poets them to perform their full duty
otherwise they believe they should
have an opportunity to recall the Off
