War and Woman.

In Germany, England, and France
there has been a noticeable increase in
the employment of women since. the be-
ginning of the war. In Berlin the wives
of tram-car conductors are going to
training school to learn to take their
husbands places when the men leave
for the front. In Paris women already
are acting as conductors on the bus
lines, and in England women are EN-
ployed as railway porters, ticket
takers, and clerks.
AS more and more men are dragged
into the vortex, more women will have
TO fill places in occupations formerly
closed to them. In this war, as In all
others, womaT: is taking a step forward !:
she is breaking more of the bonds Of
tradition and coming to fuller realiza-
ton of her strength.
Europe is only repeating on larger
scale what took place In the United
States during the civil war. The shell
tered women of the Southern planta-
tions, the most conservative feminine
element in the country, sent their men
to the gray firing line and met new
conditions with a courage that made the
whole world marvel The rallying OF
the Northern women was only less no.

try did not suffer so severely. After
the war was over women did not give

their men, and in the North thousands

So 1t will be in Europe. In the coun-

have a virtue which makes them al

When the first symptoms of ivy pois-

Crush and hruise them until they form

strips of antseptic gauze. But take the
precaution to wash the plantain leaves

Pupil Participation.

Pupil Participation.
In Indiana polls, pupil participation in
the government of the scnool leads
naturally into pHfl participation in the
larger civic life )f the community, of
which the school Itself is a pat. Main
tanning order on the playground nat
,ually extends to maint ming order on
the streets in tnc vicinity of the school.
1t Is common for committees of older
boys to look after the safety of young
er children in crossing streets near
the school,,
Soricitude| for the cleanliness and
beauty of school grounds develops
equal solicit pde for the cleanliness and
beauty Of adjoining streets, alleys. and
vacant lots. School gardening quickly
stimulates home gardening, and whole
neigh borhoods have been transformed
through the influence of the schools.
Whether the children who are now
undergoing this training for citizenship
will in reality be efficient citizens ten
or twenty years hence cannot, be fore
told. accordingly to Mr.. Dunn. But he
adds:
There Is apparently ample evidence
that they are better citizens now; and.
moreover. that the present civic life of
the city is appreciahly affected by 1t.
Where immediate results are so appar-
ent and so far-reaching, the effect upon
future citizenship should certainly be
appreciable."

: How one community trains its chill
6ren for the responsibilities Of citizen
chip Is described in a bulletin just issued
~ the Bureau of Education on Civic
Education in Elementary Schools as
Illustrated in Indianapolis"
THE practice in the indianapolis
schools" says Arthur w Dunn, author
OF the bulletin, 'is to help the pupil to
understand the nature of his own COM
munity life, his dependence upon 1t,
and his responsibility for It; to develop
a right attitude toward government as
the means by which all members of the
community may cooperate for the COM
mon interest, and to cultivate habits of
right action as a member of the COM
r1unity.'
:, The bulletin emphasizes the fact that
scivics is not taught as a separate sub
'ject until the eighth grade, but that
scivic education is a phase Of all the
work of the school. The aim seems to
be to make of education not a process
rof instruction in a variety of subjects,
But a process Of growth. during which
the various relations Of life are un-
folded
The Citizen a Worker.
. Incidentally 1t Is pointed out that
there is no subject of ethics or moral
education In the indianapolis schools, but
the direct moral training afforded by
the course here outlined is peculiarly
virile So. also. while there is no attempt
70 give direct vocation training in the
strict sense of this term. nor even any
1oreanized form of vocational guidance

to account that the citizen must be u
