Just so long as 1t will accomplish her

That she accomplishes her purpose Is
attested by her popularity And that she

duce the result she Is after-to please

To Fumigate Text-books.

The serious illness Of a teacher in a
New York public school from handling
contaminated textbooks which were in
use in her class has called attention to
the danger which threatens all school
children where there is promiscuous in
terchange of books, as is the common
practice throughout this country gener-
ally. -.-.-
While this woman lay on her bed be-
tween life and death she evolved a plan
by which such cases might be avoided,
and her scheme has been laid before the
board of education Of that city and is un-
der consideration.
Her proposition, in a few words, Is to
simplify the book problem by binding in
one volume all the work required by a
child in four years, and this book be-
comes the personal property OF the child
when entering, and the scholar retains
possession Of it during all the school
period and takes it along for future ref
erence when leaving.

bine to make The Lass O'Knlikrankie,' -
a two-reel Victor comedy-drama OF the
Highlands Of Scotland, one of the most
entertaining, refreshing productions you
have witnessed in some time. With every
detail Of costuming and settings carefully
conforming to Scotland-the Scotland Of
Bobby Burns and Sir Walter Scott-the
play throughout holds ones attention as
only the clean. artisticaIly produced play
can. Its counterpart is not to be seen
in motion pictures; the story is simple,
absolute simplicity and naturalness which
in a way. give the play its subtle charm.
Another feature Of the play is the fact
that all the roles have been enacted by
Scottish people; in their kits and bon
nets, they paint an animated picture,
one that shows you what a Scotch lass
and laddie are really like. And through
it all the sharp Scotch humor is amply
reflected.

October 2s-Anna DiekinsOu.


OF all the men and women who. fifty
years and more ago, gained fame as
abolitionists, there was none more in
teresting or more devoted to the cause
than Anna Elizabeth Dickinson. who was
born seventy-two years ago today In
Philadelphia.
Anna Dickinson came of a Quaker fam
iuy. Her father was dead and she had
to work from her girlhood- to help her
mother support her younger brothers
and sisters. From her childhood she
was deeply interested in the abolition agi-
tRtion and it is said that in order to earn
the admission price to hear the anti
slavery lecturers who spoke in Phila-
delphia she would scrub sidewalks or
do any sort of meniai work.
It was when she was barely twenty
that Anna Dickinson herself made her
first speech. This speech was entitled
Wrongs" and in it she set forth in pop
uIar oratory her views on the subject
OF woman's suffrage. Immediately Anna
Dickinson sprang into prominence as q
popular orator. Through the aid Of her
influential admirers she received a po-
sstion in the Philadelphia mint, but she
was dismissed before she had held this
position for many months. This was not
because of any failure to DO her duty
political speech she made which offended
some Of the authorities at the mint.
Turned out Of her position Anna Dick
inson became a professional speaker, and
It was In the cause Of abolition that
she made many Of her most brilliant
speeches. During the civil war she took
time during the lay TO act as q nurse
for the soldiers, while sne continued to
make speeches at night.
So great was Miss O,ckinson's sue
cess as a public speaker that she was
engaged by the Republican party In sew
eraI States to ''go on the stump" before
elections. At the time Of the civil war
she was called to Pennsylvania by the
Federal government to urge, through her
powerful speaking, the enlistment Of coll
ored troops for the army.
It was rather unfoEtunate that after
a successful career as q public speaker
Miss Dickinson should have gone on the
stage. In 1857 she appeared in q play of
her own writing, "A Crown of Thorns, %
and it is not at all surprising that she
did not meet with success in this under
taking. Disappointed as she was In this
failure she stiIl had good Judgment
enough to return to the field Of her
greatest success. public speaking.
