new CONDITIONS FOR MEXICAN
WOMEN

Much Importance is attached
to the position that women are
expected to fill in the new social
conditions of Mexico. The au.
thorities of some portions of the
country have already issued calls
for assemblies of women to con-
slider plans and methods for
federated action by women in
municipal and state affairs. This
is most radical change in the
traditions and customs of Mexico.
and is a recognition that pro-
gressive country needs the CO.
operation and participation of its
women. Mexican women may
be slow to respond to their new
civic duties, but their influence
and activity will be for the re-
generation, and let us hope.

nations and who stay at home
when there is some work to do

whatever they undertake. Pa
rents should see that their child
rem do not miss a single day
unless it is really necessary. A
farmer who seldom attends to
his duties on the farm is a fail
ure; this is true of every bust
ness, and is especially true in the
educational field.
We think hardness and irregul-
ar attendance is traceable to one
of the following: Indifference,
laziness, thoughtlessness or bad
judgement. We think laziness
and bad judgement are the worse
of these, but we believe nine
tenths of the trouble we have
encountered has been the result
of Indifference and thoughtless-
ness. Many children do not
know how essential it is to strive
for an education, and most pa
rents are very indulgent towards
their children. We hope here
