Der of ducks shot in his district dur

the district, which is probably a good
estimate.
Federal deputies were requested to
commence an estimate at the first OF

number of birds killed in their dis
tricts, and these findings were re-
ported to the department of agri-
culture.

gain from close reading of the daily
war news, was given to class in
contemporary history at Barnard Col
lege, the women's branch of Column
bia University. in New York. The
rating of these young women was
74.5 per cent.
Exactly the same questions were
given to students in class of con-
temporary history in two mems col
leges-New York University and
Bowdoin College-and their rating
was an average Of only So per cent.
The right conclusion then might be
that women, under special training,
are capable of better general aver
age of information on matters of cur
rent events, though, owing to pres
ent conditions of woman's occupa-
ton, they may not always have so
great occasion to reach this stage OF
proficiency. At any rate the figures

College are an interesting little con-
tribution to the evidence that woman

child. Children live in a world of
dreams; many of them hidden in their
hearts a roseate vision of themselves
under the guise Of king or queen or
fairy or some dearly loved character
in song or story, yet never for one
instant do they confuse truth with
reality. In my own childhood, | would
picture myself to myself for weeks at
q time, sometimes as Queen Elizabeth
and sometimes as Robinson Crusoe,
entirely irrespective of tho sex of my
prototypes. but though the inner life
was vivid l am sure it never in
fluenced my outer behavior to the ex-
tent of attracting the ridicuIe or the
censure of my very critical family.
If you remember your own child
hood, I am surr every one of you can
recall the inspiration to heroism you
received from the story of the Dutch
boy who stopped the leak in the dyke
with his finger or the determine tion
to divide your candy with your sister
when the awful fate of the avaricious
King Midas was laid bare before you!
Children are wiser than we think
and the lessons we give them have a
far more lasting effect upon them If
We sugar-coat them in story or fairy
tale.
Children crave stories Just as they
crave food for their bodies; they need
the one as much as they do the other
for their proper growth and development.

be doing her child harm py giving II

is not in every way mans intellec-
tual inferior.
Another interesting signpost on the
way of woman's intellectual progress
comes from New York, but it will
surely have more than local sig
nihcance. Three women physicians
have been appointed by the charities
commissioners on the medical staff
of New York hospitals. Heretofore
only men physicians have received
these appointments. this innovation
being due to the persistent agitation
on the part of the women eligible to
such posts and no less to the cooper
alton of influential physicians and
surgeons already holding such posts.
This is regarded as decidedly VIC
tory for women in the medical pro-
fession, and is one of the last bars
down that have before now kept
women from enjoying equal privi-
leges with men in the practice of
this important profession.

DO WOMEN READ THE NEWS,

II asked off-hand whether or not
women read the daily news as thor
ougAly as do men, we should have
emphatically have answered. NO"
Perhaps we would have added a
few excuses-that women are more
closely tied down to household duties,
that the details of the news did not
SO frequently affect their business or
daily tasks as is the case with men.
But assuredly our answer would
have been in the negative.
Perhaps that "No" ought not to be
so emphatic. For, according to the
results of recent test given to the
members of mems and women's col
leges, the woman students have
shown themselves to be better in
formed on the events of the present
day war to a surprising degree.

Story telling was the first form OF
literature with all the nations OF the
earth. Before the era Of printing, all
the tales and poems that were conposed
were committed to memory and handed
down from father to son by word of
mouth. We can imagine whole families
and even clans gathering about the story
teller while he told them OF the great
deeds Of the gods and heroes, for in those
day the gTown-ups were as eager to
hear the tales as ever a child among

| Maria Kemble was born in 17H, In
Vienna. and was the mother of Adelaide
and Fanny Kemble. who both later
brought fame to the Engllsh-speaking
stage. She came of family of musicians
and dancers, and when she was six years
old appeared in England on the stage as
Cupid. Her education. OF the conven-
tional sort. was not very exhaustive, for

she early exhibited great histrionic talent.

hood. Her first tremendous success came
when she was eighteen. in London.
After that her career was assured. She
played Shakespeare, and many other pop
ular parts, some of them singing parts.
When she was thirty-two she was mar
ried to Charles Kemble. who played a
greater range OF parts than any actor
save Garrick himself. She and her hus-
band went together to Covent Garden,
London. and remained there for the rest
of her acting life. She retired at a very
