THE CORRECT FEMININE

How far should distinguish the sexes in
the world of work and art? The woman ac-
tor has just been mentioned by an eminent
critic-instead of actress" which seems short
er. "Poetess" regard somehow deroga-
tory, and recall the Latin tongue in which in
realms of poetry and prophecy the word was
common property. In that language of strict
genders there list OF common genders,
which embraced the poet, priest, the artihcer,
the wealth-bringer-no distinction of sex in the
generic name long the woman was do
ing that particular job.
We are continually puzzling for the correct
feminine of this or that, and find that this un-
chvalrous language has thrown us back on
such expedients as doctoress, and even lady
typewriter to the confusion of and ma
chnery. But though the male has in most
cases collared the name which the female must
amend he has in one case been-mistressed.
In one profession he has to call himself male
nurse."-London Chronicle

DIR. JEKYLL IN REAL LIFE
Nurses Remarkable Story About Patient
Who Was Two Men

IL was while I was nursing in a small hos
pital in Alaska place where one has many
experiences with I'd THAT late one night n
man, or the remnants Of one, was brought in
suffering from the effects Of prolonged
debauch. ! knew him as habitue of the
dancehaIls and a musician who, according TO
Rossip. had made his bow before all the
crowned heads OF the world. In the maudn,
habby blear-eyed, drooing wretch 1t was DIFF
hcult enough to recognize human being, much
less a man who had ever achieved a place in
music.
The doctor told me to give him dose of
veronal and repeat II In two hours II neces-
sary. He did not sleep at all, even with the
second dose Next morning the doctor said
"Give him the veronal every two hours until
he does sleep. IT won't hurt him, and don't
like TO give him anything else" I obeyed
orders, though at bedtime that night told the
doctor he had had the veronal every two hours
all day and still showed no inclination to sleep.
He answered, Keep on giving it," did So
Az a. M he had a dose, and 1 saw no
change in his condition A half-hour later, as
was passing through the hall, he came to
his door and spoke to me.
I did not recognize him. He fully
dressed and stood straight a soldier, with
shoulders back and head up, his lips firm and
his eyes clear. Most courteous was his man
ner as he said in a voice deep, rich and
musical, ''1f you will permit me to walk around
the block think I can go to sleep when I
come back" He talked to for the next
Is or 20 minutes, cleverly brilliantly. Never
before nor since have I listened to such a
symphony in English The man was entirely
transformed.
/ was mystifed, puzzled and at loss just what
to do But 1t seemed rdculousy absurd to
refuse such a parsonage anything simple as
a walk around the block. He went and returned
In about 10 minutes-but how differentl A
heavy-eyed slouching fgure-dazed, drowsy and
snoring loudly before could get him in bed.
He continued to sleep like this, breathing
very heavily. all that night the next day, the
second night and until noon the following day.
I cared for him just as for a patient in a
comatose condition. His pulse was good, and
the doctor did not feel worried. The doctor
laughed at me when / told him Of the wonder
full transformation which had preceded the
sleep. But I was not dreaming or Seeing
things" and have often wished / might know
just what had taken place to make him for
the moment the man I saw.-Margaret Morris,

DON'T FORGET THE CHILD

TN THE prevailing discussion Of the inn
i portance of using the public school build
ings eight or ten hours day as II they
we're cotton factories. there is some danger
Of forgetting that the primary purpose of
the public schools is to give the children an
education.
The school buildings are idle q great many
hours every day II they were open "a hours
instead OF six or eight and were used dur
inx all this time. much fewer buildings would
accommodate all the children, just as a
cotton mill running day and night can turn
out more cotton cloth than when run eight
hours. In each case when the buildings
are closed there is some economic waste.
The capacity OF a child TO absorb knowl-
edge, however. is limited. Tests have dis
closed that he learns most quickly between
the hours OF 10 and II in the morning. In
some New England communities there are
only halliday sessions, and the pupils ad-
vance as rapidly with the shorter day as
they used 10 advance when they were in the
classrooms both morning and afternoon.
The chief occupation OF a child is 10 grow.
It is the most important thing that he can
DO His mind. OF course. must grow with
his body. but all broad-minded schemes Of
>fdutation take into account the necessity
d physical development and allow for it. II
q Nay can be found 10 accommodate all the
cffi8ren seeking education by increasing the
number OF half time CLASSES here. IL would
1e batter than planning TO decrease them by
the adoption Of any scheme TO teach the chill
6ren IN shifts which would involve their
eft<ndance all day. The schools really exist

"LINCoLN REPUBLICANS"

To the Editor Of EveniMg Ledger:
Sir-When James c. Blaine, one of the ablest
statesmen of his day, defeated for the

hcan ticket did that hurt the Republican party?
Is it not true that four years later the Repub-
lican party came back stronger and hrmer
than ever?
Yet here we have Peter Funk" Republican

Well, with all due regard for those truly hon.
est voters who have the wool pulled down over
their eyes let an old Lincoln Republican, one
who carried a torch light in the ranks OF the
Lincoln Wide Awakes' of 1850 say this, that
II our martyred President could look down upon
the Penrose, McNichol and Ware Gang, he
would call them his worst sianderers and de-
famers

WHY MONEY MUST BE BORROWED

YTNHE country must choose between two
i evils this winter. 1t must postpone prep
aration for national defense for lack OF
money, or it must borrow money to pay cur
rent expenses.
The Washington dispatches are reporting
that the Administration leaders are consid-
ering a bond issue to raise money Tor ma
tional defense. Special emphasis is placed
on national defense by the people who
talk But this should deceive no one, al
though II is a trick of the Democratic finan-
ciers. They resorted to it years ago when
the reserve fund in the Treasury was ex-
hausted by the presentation of greenbacks
for redemption They talked then about the
Importance of bond issue to replenish the
reserve, whereas If the revenues had been
suficient to meet the expenses there would
have been no run on the Treasury by the
holders of greenbacks. 1t was the deficit
constantly increasing that caused the banks
holding greenbacks to demand gold while
there was a chance to get it. Bonds to the
amount of about two hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars had to be issued before the run
stopped.
II the Democratic revenue laws now in
force produced revenue there would be no
need for a bond issue. Current expenses
could be paid out of current receipts and
money could be found for the necessary in
crease in expense attendant on the enlarge
ment of the navy and the army
Because the country believes in national
defense II will stand for the bond issue as
one of the penalties II must suffer for per-
mitting the incompetent minority party to
get into power. But at the first opportunity
Il will turn out the amateurs and put men
who know their business in charge in Wash
inEton.
