TEACHERS FOR VOCATIONAL
TRAINING AND SUFFRAGE
ST. Paul, Minn., July 8.-Equal
suffrage will undoubtedly be en-
dorsed by National Education Assn.
Teaching of sex hygiene in the
public schools brought out heated ar
guments. Chairman of resolution
committee, however, instructed to
draw up bill approving teaching of
sex hygiene on limited scale and with
great caution. Teachers especially
trained for work are to be favored.
Bill will urge that teachers cooper
ate with parents and see that major
portion of instruction is given at
home.
Federal aid for vocational training
in public schools will be asked in an
other resolution and still another will
urge uniform wording of national
songs.
Question of N. E. A. favoring a uni
form wage scale for teachers caused
furore. F. G. Blair, state sup't in

IF you liked David Harum' YOU
will love 'Hepsey Burke" This is
the way the editor of The Red Book
introduces the new novel by Frank
n. Westcott, a brother of the author
of David Harum," which begins in
the November issue of that maya
zine. Hepsey Burke is a sort of Da-
vid Harum in petticoats, a kindly,
canny, keen-witted woman who is
destined to be one of the really not
ed characters in American fiction
This first installment of "Hepsey
Burke" would indicate that the novel
is going to be well worth while as
story-and that the character of
Hepsey herself will make it one of
the bestowed novels of the decade.

captured and authorities are inves-
