that am so keen in the Animal

Mrs. Gerry, who was Matilde Town
send. one of WashinEton's most beau
tiful debutantes, has always taken
prominent part in the organization Of
dog and horse shows here, and has
done considerable work In a private
way for the help of all animals. So
there is little doubt when the Animal
Rescue League was organized that
she would be elected its president.
My love for all animals has drawn
me into this work. Mrs. Gerry said.
but particularly my great devotion
to horses, and they will be the prt-
mary and first care of the league.
''Washington has always been in
need of just such a society, Tor no.
where else in the world have l seen
such pitiable sights Of horses being
driven through the streets. OF course,
the Humane Society does much good,
but its time and power are limited.
Il do want this to he great sue

think every wonan-and man, too
in Washington who has any sympathy
for the overyorked. ill-fed and sick
horses we see every day, should be-
come a member of the league.

GOVERNMENT AFRAID
OF SUFFRAGE BALLOT
Ants Score officials Who Gave Clerks
Permission to March IN.
Parade in May.
LICENSE FOR SOCIALISTS NEXT

penouncing the heads of government
departments who granted permission to
suffrage government clerks, some OF
whom are voters, to march in the suf-
frage parade and demonstration in May,
the civil service committee of the local
anti-suffrage society issued the follow
ing statement yesterday:
In permitting suffrage competitive en-
ployes to march in the suffrage parade
in May. those chiefs of the government
departments who granted this privilege
not only violated the civil service law
in the most fragrant manner imaginable.
but declared null and void with one
stroke Of the pen the civil service act
as passed by the Congress January l6,
1SS3. and promulgated by the President.
and all its amendments, rules, decisions,
etc.
There can be no doubt that fear lest
the suffragists politically annihilate them.
actuated these sworn officials OF the gov
ernment to forget their duties and to
uncOnditionally surrender to the unwar-
ranted demands of an organization of
professional women agitators who are
Ohsessed with the idea that a small
minority has the right TO force an over
whelming majority of men and women
TO accent its unpatriotic and dangerous
doctrines. This is plainly A case where
intimidation and weakness triumphed and
where the law was trampled under foot
Nothing is to prevent union labor en-
pIoyes of the government under the rul-
ing of the Civil Service Commission from
demanding a day, from parading and
flying banners bearing the legend THE
Government the Senate and Congress.
and tine Courts Must be Unionized."
Competitive employees subscribing to So
cialistic principles may now step up
boldly and march on Congress and de-
mand that private proverty must be
abolished; the people must run all in
dustries' The Imperialists have the
right TO akk for an emperor: the l'rohi-
bitionists. the Single Takers. the Popu-
lists and other political adherents en-
ployed in the government, without the
least trouble. now may march to the
'CspitoI and harrass Congress. The eff
Cheney of the government service Is OF
no consequence Political expediency
rules the. day: the law is suppressed
The Civil Service Commission. through
it's acting chief, Charles M Galloway,
has stated that the commission knows
of no regulation or order which will pre-
vent them (the suffragists) from march
ing" etc. If the Civil Service aCommis-
sioners and other public servants draw
ing salary from the public treasury and
intrusted with the faithful performance
Of their sworn duties would take the
time to read the law governing this
question, they would find that they have
not been faithful to their trust"

COMPARE OLD SCHOOLS
WITH THOSE OF TODAY
Specialists on Child Welfare to Dis
cuss Modern Methods and leach
ing of Grandfathers.

Are the fundamentals in education
taught as thoroughly today as in the old
time school, Are pupils developing the
power of concentration today as fully as
they did in the schools of our fore
fathers Are present-day schools pre-
pairing children for life fully as did the
schools twenty-five years ago."
These three questions will be discussed
at the Third International Congress on
the Welfare of the Child, to be held un-
der auspices of the National Congress Of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations
in Washington, April 22-2I
The particular discussion, of which the
three questions form the subject, Is to
be led by DIR. NJ. V. O'Shea, professor OF
psychology in the University OF Wiscon-
sin. and chairman of the national depart
ment of education Of the National Con-
gress of Mothers. DIR. G. Stanley Hall.
of Worcester Mass, and DIR. Helen G.
Putnam, of Providence. r. l., are among
others expected to participate in the dis
cussion, which has been arranged for
Saturday evening, April ..
Following this symposium DIR. D OShea
is planning another, entitled New times
bring new problems in child training.
This discussion will attempt to throw
light on the following questions:
.'Car the Individual home train its chill
dren effectively with regard TO social.
ethical, and moral probiems?' Wi!
school as a social center solve the prob
lem of the social. ethical, and moral
training of the young in preseDt-day
American Efe? 49,
These two questions. touching the re-
lation of the parent'to the training of
the child. are also designed, to focus at
tention of pareuJs and teachers upon new
problems that are the product of modern
civilization.
Y The tendency OF parents TO shift the
responsibility for the entire training of
children to the schools and the value OF
the modern use Of schools for social CEN
ter purposes are to be fully considered
in this supplementary discussion.
