TO STRETCH SPAN OF LIFE.

III SlhElCH SFAN Of LIT e.
Live little longer is IAN unusual
campaign slogan in days when life Is
held SO cheaply. But in Rochester. N.
Y, it is a popular slogan for a move
ment to spread health education, says
the Survey
Two yeare ago the superintendent OF
schools had the idea that there are
probably thousands of women in the
community who would be glad to learn
more about the prevention of sickness
and the care of the injured. Starting
with one man. this idea had so grown
within a year that it was embod1eo
in a petition to the board Of education
signed by 5000 tax payers. Endorse
ments were secured from the Union
Ministerial association, the Chamber OF
Commerce and the Womans Educa-
tional and Industrial Union.
In January, a course on health edu-
cation for women over Is years was
opened at the East High school. The
class, which numbered over 100, had
two lessons a week for IL weeks, one
taught by woman doctor, the other
by a trained nurse. The pupils paid
IOr enrolment 81 WHICH, W as ACSAAAS
at the close Of the course to all who
had attended 80 per cent Of the lessons
So successful was the venture that
in October, similar courses were started
in the schools in different sections of
the city. Moreover, with the idea
proved practicable and the course prac-
teal, the sponsors of the movement
solicited the cooperation of the Roches-
ter Life Underwriters. AS result,
score of local insurance agents, repre-
senting the largest insurance companies
in America, prepared a descriptive fold
er for policy-holders and are urging
their home offices to advocate the
movement in all cities.
The courses this fall were shorter
than those of last year, but they were
out on the same principle after confer
ence with DR.. thinner Of the board of
education and DR.. George M. Goler, the
city health officer.
The schedule includes lessons in how
to observe, record and report symp-
toms; when to do nothing until the doc
tor arrives; what is proper food for the
sick and how it should be prepared;
how to care for children; how to make
the aged comfortable.

plicalts for the position of office boy by
telling them to write their names. If the
applicant paid no attention to the hair ne

removed 1t, he was eligible.
There is nothing particularly striking in
this story. Why should it have taken
such hold on my mind?

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The leaders Of the woman suffrage
movement have always tried to keep
it entirely separate from that for pro-
hibition, and in order to prove that
the two were not identical they have
pointed to the fact that no state
where women were enfranchised had
adopted prohibition, writes Ida Hus-
ted Harper in the December number
OF The North American Review. At
the recent election prohibition
amendments were submitted in six
states and carried by large majorities
in four, in all of which women vote
Washington, Oregon. California and
Arizona. The one in California prob
ably would have been adopted had it
not been so radical that even the
clergymen advised voting against it.
Ohio showed it under along with wo-
man suffrage. This was the only
state where both amendments were
pending, and it proved what has Of
men who are for temperance measures
are for woman suffrage.
The winning Of these two states,
Nevada and Montana. extends woman
suffrage over one-third of the area of
Tie country ana eACIuOcS tlc WCStCAA
section from further contest 1t also
adds four United States senators to
those who will vote for a national suf-
frage amendment. The work of a
campaign is not lost. as people gen
orally stay converted" and the wo-
men learn a great deal by experience.
Doubtless all the defeated states will
at once begin to prepare for another
campaign, and to these will be added
several more within the next year.
Resolutions for submitting amend
ments to the voters have passed one
legislature in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,. and
Iowa, and will be acted on by second
this coming winter. while in many
states it has to pass only one. The
reactionary tendencies OF the recent
election indicate the elimination of a
third party strong enough to hold the
balance of power against the two old
parties, which would be detrimental to
the success Of woman suffrage. but it
is now a live political issue and such
it will remain as long as any state in
the union refuses to enfranchise its
women
