Oroville. Cal.-Miss Dorothy Jones,
who has been teaching school near
here, has thrown up her job. The
schools of the Kanak Peak district can
go teacherless so far as she is CON

the school board, and since her de-
mands were not met she has quit, re-
signed and fed.
In her communication to those who
hold the destinies of the Kanak Peak
youngsters in their callouSed palms
Miss Jones says that man is needed
During the four months in which she
has been welding the chalk to i'm
prove the budding native sons they
have learned one thing Well-the art OF
proposing. Sixteen Of them have sug-
gested that Miss Jones abide perma-
nently in Kanak Peak and change hel

1t got so that every time one of the
ardent pupils raised his hand the teach
er feared he was about to pop the fatal
question. When it came to adding up
a column of figures the Kanak Peak
boys were not there, but at proposing
they were unanimously present. Miss
Jones admits that she can stand it nc
longer. There is limit to everything
she AYERS. To be a successful school
teacher in Kanak Peak, she says, one
must have husky husband near by OF
else be man.

Ough, who was Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt of New York. Scarcely a day
passes that her home, Sunderland
House, is not thrown open for some
meeting connected with war charity,
and upon the occasions when the duch-
ess is free from the duty Of receiving
in her home she appears elsewhere for
the same object of meeting the needs
of the poor and the helpless.
The duchess has been known as one
of the talleSt women at court, and her
elder son, the Marquis of Blandford,
is resembling her in this respect. At
eighteen he is over six feet tall, a hand
some, intelligent young man, who has
been popular and studious at Elton. 1t
is thought that he will enter the army
soon.

health. Both of the sons have some
times accompanied the duchess on her
rounds of charity. 1t is a notable com
mentary on war conditions that the
homes for prisoners wives, generously
supported by the duchess, have been
closed because there are no women
who need them.
The protection of the babies by the
health authorities is considered her
special philanthropic interest, and she
has frequently spoken in public as well
as writing to the newspapers to advo-
cate the recognition Of the Woman $
Municipal party in filling vacancies on
the metropolitan borough councils in
order to secure the appointment of
trained women to take charge Of the
health of the babies. Entertainments
for the purpose of bringing before the
public the needs Of the children Of the
poor have often enjoyed the advantage
of appealing to fashionable purses at
her house.
