bolero. The idea Is quite new and
very simple. although it does not look
so. One has only to gather the top
into the shoulder seam and let the
pointed ends fall naturally. A pretty
little twilled ruffle edges the fronts,
sailor collar and cuffs. and nothing
could be more easily made than this
form of sleeve and collar.
The design also is made so that
the surplice pieces can be omitted
and leave a most attractive plain
waist with a full front.
Everybody likes this style OF blouse,
because 1t is easily put on and but
toned up in front, and is equally ap-
plicable to many sorts of material.
You will find that all the crepes-
both silk and cotton-are very attrac-
tive when made up this way, and silks
and ginghams serve as useful and
decorative an end. A great many at
tractive plaid silks and ginghans are
in the market, and they are smart with
plain-colored dresses. Then, too, the
pattern will be found very practical
for thin summer goods, such as dotted
and figured swisses and lawns. In
case you make the waist of any sum-
mer material the collar may be omit
ted and fichu or net collar worn sep
arate, since this may be removed and
fresh one put on at will, and SO the
waist remain nice for several wear

Birth Control Is Propaganda
of Mrs. Sanger.
Recently Acquitted for Mailing
"The Woman Rebel"

New York. April Freed of the
charge, in Uncle Sans federal indict-
ment, that she sent vile and obscene
matter through the mails in her birth
control propaganda magazine, THE
Woman Rebel" Mrs. Margaret Sanger
left here today to visit and organize
birth control societies among the wo-
men of all the larger cities in the Unit
ed States
Mrs. Sanger is on her way now to
Chicago, where she will conduct meet
ingS of women, make speeches about
birth control and organize a society of
women to perpetuate birth control
propaganda after she has gone on to
other places. Mrs. Sanger will travel
west to the coast cities and then east
again by another route.
Revise Laws, First.
Mrs. Sanger hopes, by stirring UP
the interest of American wives and
mothers, to make their influence cause
the repeal of state and federal laws
prohibiting the dissemination of birth
control information.
In cities where there are no restric-
tons of this kind Mrs. Sanger hopes to
establish clinics. similar to birth con-
troll clinics in European cities, where
women of the working districts can
apply for instruction in birth control.
In addition to nurses who can instruct
in birth control, these clinics will have
a staff that will teach the care of in
fants.
Mrs. Sanger said before she depart
ed today that no legislative power in
the world can keep the women of
America from learning and practicing
birth control.
Because" she added, sit is the log
ical and sensible and humane thing to
do, law or no law.
mo woman should be compelled to
bring a baby into the world unless she
is physically fitted to properly endow
the child with a good brain and body;
and unless she is blessed with the re-
sources to rear and educate the child
and give it a fair chance to make its
way in the world.
A Square Deal' for Mothers.
THAT is what birth control know
ledge is for: to show women under
bear children
Birth control does not necessarily
make for either larger or smaller fam
lilies; it simply insures, through the
mothers knowledge, a square deal and
a fair chance for whatever children
are born.
I'm Europe, birth control is sane
toned by the government.
In the United States it is blindly
condemned by law; laws that are laud

Patients will enter the new tuber-

New Teaching Plan Outlined by
EmpOria Normal.
Problems of Government To Be
Taught in Schools.

Systematic training for citizenship
is to be a part of the public school
work in Kansas This is the con-
c1usion of the Kansas State Normal at
Emporia whose department of govern
ment is now working in the belief that
the hope of the nation lies in the pub
lie school. A new meaning has been
attached to the study of civics, and
this new conception demands a new
method of teaching. Civics no longer
is to be a study of governmental ma
chinery alone. Citizenship means more
than that.
The new step is not being taken
without a plan. There is a definite
plaza workable plan-that has been
outlined by w. E. Myer. of the depart
ment. 1t is his conviction that eff we
can't teach citizenship in the schools,
we can't teach anything"
Briefly, the new instruction calls
for a study of governmental problems
and an intimate knowledge of current
events gained through the reading OF
newspapers and magazines A knowl-
edge of the machinery of the govern
ment is to come incidentally, but at
the same time forcibly. and in a way
that will be remembered.
Several Schools Use Plan.
Such is the plan now being followed
in the training of Kansas teachers.
Several Kansas schools already have
adopted the idea and the teachers GO
ing out from the scnool will rapidly
spread the new system.
Legislation which will make train
ing for citizenship compulsory during
the four-years of the high school is the
ultimate hope. 1t is held that the
state should demand this much of her
children. The state should no longer
allow its subjects to decide whether
they will or will not prepare to aid
QffecfiUaIU in the serial orO11n
Professor Myer outlines the new
system in an article to appear in the
forthcoming edition of Teaching. a
journal of the Normal school.
Il believe that the first step which
must be taken is to get our problems
into the consciousness of the people.
If the voters can be made to think,
then they see that they already have
an economic interest in the govern
ment, and we won't need to resort to
expedients.
Now how will this civic education
be given? 1t must begin, I think, in
the public school. 1 am willing to
admit that one may pick up a civic
education outside of school. All that
any of our citizens have is thus picked
up, for the schools have never taken
up this work.

for them to he held during the after
noon hours and they will also have
access to the lectures by noted men
and women, experts on the topics dis
cussed, who will take up questions of
national defense, food conservation,
American history, and the American
izatton of the foreign-born, as a fea-
ture of the program. These will also
be given in the afternoons and will be
open to the general public. The regu-
lar classes and special courses will be
held in the mornings and only regular
ly enrolled students may attend.
Guarded by Policemen.
No student will be enrolled for less
than two weeks, ana plans are being
made to accommodate 500 girls. 200
resident students and 300 day pupils
each fortnight. The school will be
open to all native-born women over
eighteen years of age, whose applica-
tions are acceptable to the committee
in charge and who are members, or
intend to become members, of the
Woman's Section of the Navy League.
However, no student will be permitted
to live at the camp unless she can pre-
sent a certificate from her physician
that she is physically able to endure
the out-of-door life and camp routine.
The routine will be strict and the re-
cruits will be put through a stiff
course, but every precaution for their
health and comfort will be taken. A
physician and trained nurses will be in
residence and a Red Cross relief sta
ton will be set up in the camp grounds.
Picked men from the local police force
will do the actual guarding of the
camp at night, but resident students
will be called upon for guard and in
spection duty, after the manner of
their brothers at Plattsburg. Officers
of the day will be in direct charge of
the school and camp and the regula-
tions laid down by them under the
direction of experts must be obeyed
with military prOmptness.
