There is a common tendency
to cling TO old ways and methods.
Every innovation has to fight for
its life; and every good thing has
been condemned in its day and
generation. Error once set into
motion continues indefinitely I'M
less it is blocked by a stronger
force, and old ways will continue
to remain so, unless some one in
vents a new one, and then lives
and dies for it. Even as great
man as John Ruskin forsaw that
the railroads would ruin England
by driving the stages out Of bust
ness and killing the demand for
horses, thus running the former.
Thomas jefferson tells us in his
autobiography of neighbor of
his who was agin' the public
schools, because" he said,
when everyone can read and
write, no one will do any work"
Bishop Berkeley thanked God there
was not a printing press in Vir-
ginia, because printing presses
printed lies, and their business

Tradition is the friend and
enemy of mankind. 1t is the
friend when we respect that
which has come before traditions
and aims to live up to its ideals,
but it becomes our enemy when in
living up to the ideals Of the past,
we create new ideals for future
generations to venerate and try to
live up to.
As | said before, women are the
makers actually of the people of
whom society is made up.
From the earliest times of the
dawn Of civilization, up until now,
and for all times to come, women
will always be the mothers Of the
nations. As such they have the
life and destiny of their offspring
at heart than have the men.
In the primitive times while the
men were fighting, fishing and
hunting the women stayed in
shelter so that her offspring could
be saved as the next generation.
In the earliest manifestations
a communal life, it was still the
woman who stayed behind while
the men showed by force their
right to coverted territory.
As civilization advanced and
the needs of the individual grew,
it was the woman who learned
and taught her offspring the art
of weaving, cooking, candle-mak-
ing and the constantly increasing
arts and crafts that became the
necessities of life with the adj
vancing civilization.
Women have at all times been,
then, the creators, the educators
and the conservators Of the peo-
pie.
She has still the same function
to perform now. Is she not still
the mother, the first teacher and
nurse of her family?
How many of you took excep-
ton to Kipling when the poem
came out, The Female of the
Species is More Deadly Than the
Male?" |, for one, never did.
1t runs as follows and rings as
true as gold:
The Female of the Species
When the Himalayan peasant
meets the he-bear in his pride
He shouts to scare the monster
who will often turn aside;
But the she-bear thus accosted
rends the peasant tooth and
nail,
For the female Of the species is
more deadly than the male.
What | am pressing to say
then is, that while women are the
actual conservators of the peo
pies, the issue is not one between
men and women. Men and womer
