hiring the sunshine of happiness into
the greatest possible number of hearts

although yesterday, Of course, was not
very pleasant. And the shops, she
thought, were delightful But then she
knew she would like the city, because
she heard so many nice things about II.
And as she is not going to advocate
militancy while here it is probable that
New York will like Miss Pankhurst.

Priest Says Principle Is Involved
in COntest-SOme Declare
Against Instructor.

The women of Tottenville rallied to
the defence of Mrs. Lora NJ. Wagner
the teacher-mother advocate, yesterday
when attempts were made to circulate
a petition requesting that Mrs. Wagner
be prevented from attending school.
A few women. il is said, felt very
strongly about the improperly Of her
appearance in school of mixed classes.
Mrs. William d. Frerichs, president
# the Philemon Club, the largest wom-
ems club in Staten Island, said;
81 am glad Mrs. Wagner has taken
this stand. OF course, it would be
pleasanter for everybody concerned #
the question never had been raised, but
since it has think it is right to fight
II ont to the end and have it settled
for all time.
Mrs. Wagner is just the one to
carry on such contest, because Of her
great personal popularity. The chill
drcn are very fond Of her"
Mrs. George Brown, the mother or
two daughters in the high school, also
refused TO go on record against Mrs.
Wagner.
al don't think it IS right for her TO
be in school, but / don't see what else
she could do" she said. "They couldn't
expect any woman who has been teach.
ing for twelve years TO want 10 end
her career with dishonorable dis
missal.
"As for any injurious effect upon the
school children, | do not think 1t
exists"
Several other women expressed the
same views. The general opinion
seemed to be that while the whole al
fair was unfortunate the principle IN.
volved was one for which they were all
ready to champion the teachers cause.
Father Malloy, Of the Church Of Our
Lady, was the only one who criticised
Mrs. Wagners presence in the school,
and even he said that he thought the
Board Of Education was more to blame
than she.
al shouldn't allow any of the lay
teachers in the parochial school TO
teach under such conditions" he SAID.
However. understand the woman is
lighting for principle. and IT that
case the blame is transferred TO the
Board of Education, which should not
allow her to make this test. The Board
of Education should either grant these
women the desired leave of absence or
else il should not allow any marrtd
woman 20 teach i'm the schools
Mrs. Wagner finished her week of
school Yesterday afternoon and an
nounced her intention of returning to
her work again next week.

WANT PHILIPPINE
STATUS CONTINUED
Time Cannot Be Fixed for
Change, Says Lake Mo-
hOnk Conference.

Mohonk Lake, y. Y, Oct. 16.--The
Lake Mohonk Conference adopted a
platform tonight, declaring that 1.-THE
privilege and responsibility of fitting
the inhabitants of the Philippine ISL
ands for self-government having been
accepted by the American people,
their undertaking should be prose-
cuted with conviction and fidelity by
government officials"
The platform adds that it is the view
of the conference that a definite time
cannot yet be fixed when the status
of the Philippines shall be finally de-
cided
The time seems opportune." il says,
"for urging that our national obliga-
tions 10 the people Of those islands
be recognized a. obligations of the
whole body of the American people;
that they be no longer treated as a
question Of party politics, and that
proposed legislation relating 10 the
Philippines be considered from a nom
partisan viewpoint.
1--WE urge that Congressional legisla-
tion on economic matters be guided by
the welfare of the Filipino people and
not by the economic interests of groups
of American people or of foreigners,
whether they be agriculturists, manu-
facturers or consumers"
In conclusion the platform says the
conference believes that in the admin
istration of both Indian and Philippine
affairs there should be faithful adher-
ence to the merit system in the making
of appointments and promotions in the
public service.
The platform holds that unless the
Legislature Of Oklahoma gives early
and adequate protection" to the Indians
in that state the federal government
should resume full jurisdictions over
them. The conditions among the Civil
lied Tribes of Oklahoma, it says, call
for the closest scrutiny and the fed
eral government is urged to prosecute
it's land suits, already begun. to the
court of last resort in behalf of the
Indians, and to include in the federal
statutes prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors to the Indians a clause
against the sale Of certain drug said
TO be in increasing use among the in
dams.
