Differences Between SuGragists Exaggerated

To speak of the "fast dsiHtegrating suffrage
movement is absurd. When cause is weak and
struggling its advocates stand close together from
necessity As it personal ambitions and
animosies creep in differences arise methods of
procedure, &c. Such is the history of all movements
and it is natural that this one should be an cx-
ception; but its differences of small importance

Wyoming where women have voted forty years, it has

might be called near-fact but the truth is that in

No Logical Fear fer cause.

No Logical Fear fer Cause.
This last manifesto of the National Anti-Suffrage
Association says I'VE who are familiar with this
situation know that the anxiety of the sufragists
get Federal interference with the celebrates of the
States comes from the fear that they will be able
win any more States to the equal franchise.
Failing in this they confronted with the practical
certainty that they have reached the limit of spreading
their principles and that henceforward their
ment will be backward"
There is not particle of evidence which to
base such assertion this; the contrary, logic
and reason combine to indicate that the winning of
more States is positive certainty. In IGIo woman
suffrage was granted in Washington by vote of the
electorate; in 1911 it granted in California; in
1919 in Oregon, Arizona, and Kansas; IT 1913 the
legislature of Illinois to women at least half OF
the franchise rights possible in the State-six great
victories in four years!
What imaginable ground is there for the suffra-
gists "fear they will not be able to win any
States?"
At the present moment active campaigns in
progress in Nevada Montana, North and South Da-
kota, where suffrage amendments to their
situations to be voted in November. In my
article in The Sunday Herald last week, an idea

of all classes that desire the welfare of the State.

a vote on that report may have been taken in the
Senate, with Of course. an adverse majority.
Some of the suffrage leaders willing to face
such defeats in order put the members record
but others feel that it is poor policy as it conveys to
the general public an idea that the losing

mothers are taking up kindergarten
courses as help in bringing up their
children. The lessons of the kinder
garten are practical and useful anu
are training for life and character.
We are proud of the material that
has come to us for this work, and we
are proud Of the young women, who
have left us and are now filling posi-
tions of trust and honor with so much
earnestness and enthusiasm.
1t is gratifying to know that ali Of
the young women who have graduated
from our school and desired positions,
have secured them, and are happy

Last year there were eight young
aides in this department, while this
year we have seven, four of whom we
hope to graduate in June. To some
OF our friends this may seem like a
very small beginning, but what we

and the average child from the home.
AS result of what from a truly
scientific stand point may seem only
casual observation, 1t seems to the
writer that an average child from the
kindergarten compared with the av-
erage child without this training IS
more self-reliant, less self-conscious,
more cooperative, more keenly 0D-
servant, more clearl visioned.
From an economic view point 1t Is
hard to number in years, months or
DAYS how much time he saves during
his school course but all things be-
ing equal 1t is safe to say that tne
kindergarten child is able to COM
plete the course of study outlined for
the modern school in less time than
the child without this advantage.

what he terms the instructive activ-

It cannot but be seen that although

THE KINDERGARTEN A FlNAN
ClAL BENEFIT TO GUTHRIE

BY Fred H. Wenner, secretary of
Guthrie Chamber of Commerce.
From personal experience with and
observance of my own and other chill
dren am thoroughly convinced that
the kindergarten is one of the essen
tial departments of our public edu-
cational system and of equal import
ance with any other department.
In the kindergarten the little CHI.
dren have an opportunity to deve'ope
their natural inclinations alons GER
tain lines of activity which. under
proper direction, teaches them to be-
come more self reliant and capable
of caring for themselves in many
ways, relieving mothers of much of
the burden Of care and making un-
necessary the constant wearing and
wearying repression Of natural actiy-
tiles which is so often injurious to the
disposition of the child.
Not alone are their natural in
clnaticns developed however, but
they are gradually led into the in
vestigation of other lines of activity
and even at this young age can soon
be seen to have a wider range of
thought and vision
