WoMAN's PROGRESS GOES ON
Pittsburgh Wards Board of School
Visitors Is for the Time Being
Entirely Feminine.

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

Now ONE the season Of accom-
plishment. Summers light and heat
have long ago suffused these buildings
with which we wrap ourselves against
the influences of the natural world and
have laid up even in the feeblest Of us
some store Of energy, some additional
gift of life. Whether we see 1t or not,
we are ready now, IL ever, against the
darkness OF winter when the tides Of
being are low and its wheels turn slow
". We nave before us the example
and inspiration of the earth,s mighty
harvest, the warning of these shorter
days, and the spur Of cooler weather.
Those who teach know that the sue
cess OF their years work depends on
the drive OF the next four months.
Those who direct the enterprises of
trade and manufacture know that this
is the time to realize what has long
been planned. II you purpose to learn
anything or do anything better than

ENJOYED PLAY OF REAL LIFE
Women Enthusiastic Over Acts Which
No Doubt Were Thoroughly Fa-
miIiar to Them.

Robert w. Chambers, the novelist
said at the Century club in New York:
I'VE n~ovelists have got to remember
that the public, while claiming stout
ly to like truth and realism, really
likes-really likes-well, here's a
story:
1.-TWO women stood in a queue wait
ing to get in to see q melodrama.
"'This'll be a good show said the
first woman. Life, you know. Real
life. Nothin' o%verdone.'
Eyes, 1 like life, too said the other
woman i don't want to be put to
sleep, though. Still, l can't stand
nothin' far-fetched.'
Same here said the first woman.
and then they went in and sat
through five acts wherein the hero
killed thirty-six Kaf1rs with his naked
hand, found q diamond as big as a
ducks egg, smashed with his revolver
from a mile away the bottle Of poison
that the beautiful heroine was about
to swallow rather than yield to the
Establishments of the villain, and final
ly killed the latter in an aeroplane
duel, slightly off stage, inheriting later
an unexpected dukedom, and SO forth
and so on.
when the curtain fell to the sound
Of wedding bells the two women looked
at each other with .g%listening eyes.
"'Grand. wasn't it?' said the first.
Life, real life, eh?'
"'You bet said the second. That's
life, that Is. Nothin' far-fetched or
oyerdone.'"

miles southwest of Springfield, was
completely burned. All efforts to
extinguish the fire proved futile, az
the proprietor was not able TO
manipulate the fire extinguishers,
and the water tank belonging to
the railroad company was found

able to attend the football game
between the Normal and the Tyn-
dali high school at the county seat.
This game was looked forward to
with great interest, the two pre-
vious ones resulting in a tie. 1t
turned the tide in favor of Spring
field, our team making three touch
downs, while the Tyndall boys did
not score a point. In the five
games played this season not a
single point was scored against the
Normal school team.
Mr.. FL. NJ. Hale, Adjatant in

The state superintendent, of
Michigan, by laws Of that state,
fills eighteen different state posi-
tions in addition to that of being
head of the Michigan educational
system.
The county superintendent has
not provided Bon Homme county
teachers with the regular notebooks
for Reading circle work; frss-be-
cause of the expense /; and second-
because of the lengthy outlines re-
CURED in those notebooks. We
much prefer the briefer outlines
which teachers will be able to work
out in ordinary note books.
A few teachers have not as yet
sent ia the Roster and Program
Sheets for the use of the county
superintendent. This negligence
counts several points against these
teachers.
There are still a few official no.
tees of beginning school due at
the county superintendent office.
This may seem to some teachers
quite unnecessary but it is a re-
quirement of our laws and should
be attended to promptly. In Ore
gon every teacher is required to
file a copy of his contract in the
superintendent office before be-
ginning his work at teaching.

with uric acid which the kidneys

MEN TO DEFEND DAVIS CUP
Wiidins Have Made Last Stand
for international Trophy.

Now that Norman F. Brookes and
Anthony F. Wilding have taken back
the Davis cup to the land of the kanga-
roo, by virtue of their victory over the
best America put forth, the thought
comes that this probably was the last
stand of the great Australians in the
battle for the international trophy.
Brookes, although still wizard of
strokes and court tactics, loses his
strength and speed after hard ses-
sion on the courts, and in 1915 this
will be even more pronounced.
Wilding, too, although a massive
athlete and sinewed like an OK, seems
to be slipping backward, and has not
at any time since his appearance in
this country shown the form that for
merly won him the championship of
all the world. He, too, will probably
be content now to step down with
Brookes, his captain, and let younger
men take up the burden of defending
the trophy they fought so hard and SO
CALAMITY to take back to the other side
of the world.

A famous baseball man is prolific
story teller, and oftentimes his yarns
are the source of amusement to his
friends. Here is one of his new
ones:
"A friend of mine, metropolitan
merchant, who had amassed quite a
fortune by close application to his
business, was being entertained one
evening at a friends house, where
he encountered a number of young
woman graduates, whose conversation
suddenly turned to a discussion of the
development of the English novel.
The merchant speedily experienced
feeling within which told him tina;
he was out of it. After few min
utes of animated colloquy, during a
brief respite, one of the young women
turned to him sweetly and asked:

HISTORY OF SOCCER is TOLD
Former President of Leland Stanford
University Tells of Foundation
and Growth of Game.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, former pres
ident of the Leland Stanford univer-
sity, who attended the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the founding of the Football
Association of England, which intro
duced the game of soccer football, mar.
rates the foundation and growth of or
gained soccer football as follows:
"As the game was founded in Lon
don, it is quite natural that the men
associated with it should belong to
London and the south of England. In
those days there was but one or two
clubs in the north. but London was
really the center of all football and as
sociated with schools and old boys in
situations.
Hacking was a recognized feature
of the game, and when it was proposed
to abolish hacking, or kicking and
tripping, it was argued that all the
pluck and courage of the game would
be at an end.
In 1867 NUMBER of Sheffield play.
ers organized an association of their
own, and the game came TO be played
almost as much in the north as in Lon.
don. Intercity matches began at this
time, and the players were distin
guished principally by the vigor OF
their tactics.
1.-THE first international match was
played in 1877 between England and
Scotland, and Immediately thereafter
numerous clubs sprang Up all over the
country. Professionalism was legalized
when it was seen that the professional
player was inevitable in the city clubs
and from that time the game made
great strides. The crowds at the fina
matches grew from thousands to tens
of thousands, and every town support
ed its team"

What is perhaps the longest record
for continuous active service with one

years, his first notable work being in

time he has been considered the one
