JUST LIKE TAFT.

When William Howard Taft left the
white house March the gold framed
portrait OF Theodore Roosevelt. which
had hung al the right OF his desk for
four years. was still there. ON the
opposite wall rad hung likeness Of
President Tafts father Alphonso Taft,
which the former executive took away
with him. The Roosevelt portrait oc-
cupied its honored position when
President Wilson went To work in the

Those who know Mr.. Taft realize
that despite all that happened during
the last two years of his term in the

old sentiment has prompted him TO

4 CONTRAST.

The rights for which English women
OF q certain stripe. constituting O. mi
uorrty OF their .ey are clamoring were
gradually conferred upon women in
N.w zeaIand who quietly qualified
for further extensions Of The scope Of
their political activity by iudiciously
exercising the rights they received.
The intelligent interest of women in
educational matters formed the open
ing wedge in New Zealand. The women
were merely receptive when IT was
proposed TO eufranchisc them. They
did not make speeches They did not
write for the press or beslcge the press
for publicity. They formed no pro-.
cession to hike" through the mud, and
no demonstrations were made al tho
doors Of the parliament building. They
simply stuck to their knitting in tho
good old fashioned feminine way and
allowed the good work they had done

The committee Of experts which
has been making AN investigation into
the school system and conditions IN
this city, has made "a number Of dis
coveries of facts which for many years
have been known la everybody except,
ing the school authorities. The inves-
tigators found. among other things,
that the children in the New YORK.
public schools are deplorably deficient
in arithmetic. Another one of their
discoveries is that the children of
foreign parentage show greater appli-
cation and make better progress than
the children of American parents.
That this is so, I'M spite of the handl-
cap of imperfect knowledge of the
language of the country on the part
of the children of aliens is undoubted
ly due la the home training of the
children. Foreigners still adhere Ia
the old fashioned notion that children
are sent 10 school To learn something
useful, not merely To pass the time
in a pleasant manner until the law
permits them To become breadearners.
