81 do not at all agree with the opin-
ion that German women are even be-
hindhand in valuable efforts. That they
have accomplished more of the things
practical for which women want the
vote is due to their government, which
allows them much leeway in these mat
ters.
Killing Desire with Kindness.
"That they have done less toward the
achievement of Acknowledgement is due
also TO their government, which is
treating them with remarkable, willy
wisdom. For it is killing the vote with
kindness. 1t allows them to do 50 much
that the women haven't much time to
think Of the vote-thoy have at hand
more pressing matters. And in add
tion the vote is not for them crying
need; they can get along without it
very well for the present
"But this temporary sitting will not
avail for long, for soon the German
movement will draw deep breath and
find, when it starts more earnest efforts
for the ballot, that It has accomplished
a great deal during It's seemingly do
cile period.
"Germany's feminism expresses itself
in a more fundamentally different way
than ours and yours. There women

welfare and Of unprotected girlhood.

"In the matter Of social reforms,
these women have done an enormous

given her enormous scope for her ef

reforms. Her whole sex is splendidly
looked out for in the lands laws. So

prevent IT, They cannot consistently
take part in it.
If women but realized how much
their influence stands for, not one of
them would rest until we had the ballot
universally. You in the United States,
in your political measures, in your for
eign affairs, show what the prominence
OF women can do. Your statesmen and
your officials show that they have, per-
haps unconsciously, absorbed the ideals
for which your women stand. 1t is in
fused in their attitude toward all do
nestle and foreign affairs of state. 1t
has increased their desire for and their
sincere efforts toward social reform
measures. That is because 50 many
Of your women have become enfran-
chised. The men have been forced to
note for what the women stand, and it
has inevitably colored their attitude.

the United States in the matter of fem

each other. and every other country 1t
will not bo very long before oil the ma
tions recognize the true value Of wom-

Russia and Austria perhaps lag be-
hind most in the progressiveness Of
their women, thinks Mrs. Lawrence.
Germany, since the advent Of war. has
naturally been accused BY England Of
being a menace TO the advance Of fem
inism. but the problem Of the Ger
man women is very different from that
facing the English women, she believes.
And the women OF each are travelling
to the same goal, but by opposite
routes. The English women insist on
having the franchise, so that they may
make certain laws and instigate Ger
tam reforms. and accomplish generally
ends which they feel are desirable. The
Germans, on the other hand, are going
ahead and reforming. and then, having

this knowledge Of theirs is due TO their
unusual parents, who have not only
done unusual things for theif educa-
tion, but have seen to It that their
children have plenty Of fun Of child
hood, are not arrogant nor are they
unwholesomely gentle.

of reouests." explained Mrs. Deming in
her picture book home, in Macdougal
Alley. And thus it may be seen that
her ideas on the upbringlng of chn-
dren are not startlingly unusual. The
fact of note is that she accomDEshes
what lots Of other mothers think they
do. That she is educating simultane-
ously five children, ranging IN ages
from fifteen TO four, but goes 10 show

"They can put wheat in the myste-
rious wheat belt and cotton in the
cotton district. and can illustrate prac-
ticaliy innumerable other points, thus
making facts concrete.
"llrs. Deming remembers the neces-
sty OF iufusing interest in other sub
iec.s as well. For example, history and
arithmetic are paralleled, thus giving
q pretty definite idea Of the passage Of
time.
"Wheu they are learning to read they
