th"Ir last campaign against the federa /

Them. with snort intervals Of rest
throughout the winter.
In February and early March Moshy

order to find forage for their horses.
They had eluded all tho cavalry forces
Sont out TO find them. whether from IN"
Shenandoah Valley or from the Nlcihl'!
Of Washington.
Now they were looking forward to
much active work In the spring WITHIN
the confines OF ''Mosby's ContederacE -

Already. on March ~. they had ann

The party was over at midnight
and with it the only approach at fcs-
tivIty at headquarters IN the course
of Grants nine months stay before
Petersburg came to an end
Everybody felt that stern business
was at hand. Grants plans were all

WoMAN'S PROGRESS GOES ON

Visitors is for the Time Being
Entirely Feminine.

A news item in the Leader provides
striking evidence of womans s progress.
Announcement was made that whole
board Of school visitors in the Twenty
sixth ward win consist Of women.
1t has been only a few years since
the candidacy OF the late Miss Kate
Mcknight for a seat on an Allegheny
school board attracted statewide at
tention. But within short period the
men of city ward deemed it wise
and to the best interest Of the citizens
to fill board ofvisitors with women.
The wisdom exhibited by the men in
giving women an opportunity to exer-
else their intelligence in governing the
public schools is wholesome sign.
Women are the natural guardians OF
children. They have charge of them
in their homes. Their experienced
hands will make a favorable impress
sion on the schoolroom.
Women are already represented on
the board of education. Their pres
ence there is fixed. Their position
will not be changed unless their in
huence is enlarged. - Pittsburgh

SUBSCRIPTIONS RdrEs.
SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.

The board OF education has told the
people quite plainly what they pro
pose TO do with the money derived
from the sale Of $4,000 worth Of
bonds. provided the issue is approved
By the voters al the special election
which win be held next Tuesday
That the junior high school plan
offers the hest solution Of the prob
lem confronting the district hardly
seems to be open TO question. II it is
adopted it will put Chickasha IN line
with progressive ideas Of school or
eanization that are now being adopted
in many cities and make more secure
the position Of this community as an
educational center. From the prac-
ticaI viewpoint, it will afford relief IN
the way OF additional rooms which the
schools must have ii the community
is to perform its duty to the children.
In comparison with the junior high
school arrangement, with the special
advantages which it offers to children
in the upper grades. the suggestion OF
another ward school, containing all
grades. has little to recommend it, II
the ward buildings were already ade-
ouate. it would be serious question
whether we could afford to launch the
junior high school system at this time,
but since we are compelled to erect
an additional building, there is every
reason why we should avail ourselves
OF the opportunity to take up this inn
proved method even though the cost
viii be somewhat larger than imme-
diate necessities would call for. The
extra cost is so small in comparison
with the benefits TO be derived from
taking this Onward step that nobody
can afford to hesitate in giving ap-
proyal to it.
II has been figured that the cost to
the individual taxpayer, in the event
the bonds are issued, win be less than
ten cents on the. $1,000 Of assessed
valuation per year. If you pay taxes
On $4,000 worth Of property, you viii
lie called upon to contribute the enor-
nous sum of one dollar per year Tor
carrying out this great enterprise. II
you are assessed for more or less than
that amount you can easily figure our
what it will cost you.
In view Of the situation with which
We are confronted and the welfare OF
the children Of the community, con
sidered in connection with the oppor-
tunity to put the chickasha district in
The forefront OF education, why should
we quibble over the addition Of few
cents or dollar or two to our annual
tax bill?
