WOMEN
As Leaders Are On The In
crease In Institutions
Of Learning

OF the 10000 conspicuous positions,
largely of an administrative charac-
ter, listed in the 1856 educational
directory just issued by the interior
department through its bureau of ed
ucation, $500 are held by women.
There are women who are college
presidents, state superintendents of
public instruction, county superin-
tendents, directors of industrial train
ing, heads of departments of educa-
tion in colleges and universities, d.
rectors of schools for afflicted and
exceptional children, and Librarians.
Twenty-four of the 622 colleges and
universities listed in the directory
are presided over by women. OF the
nearly 5000 county superintendents
in the country, sos are women. The
tendency to fill this position with wo-
men is almost wholly confined to the
west. One state, Montana, has not
one man as county superintendent.
Wyoming has only two. Kentucky is
the only southern state that utilizes
women in this Office; the state has 26
women as county superintendents.
On the other hand, there are only 26
women city superintendent in total
of over 1000.
Seventy institutions for the blind
are listed in the directory OF these
I Is are directed by women. OF the %
state schools for the deaf, 10 are un-
der the leadership of women; and of
the % private institutions of the same
character, 16 have women superin-
tendents. OF the 81 private institu-
tions for the feeble-minded, 20 are
under supervision of women.
Fourteen out of S6 directors of in
dustrial schools are women; and As of
the 200 schools of art are in charge
of women Women have almost a
monopoly of library positions Out of
300 public and society libraries Civ
en- in the directory, women supervise
LOTS.
The government bureau of educa
tion itself exemplifies the call for wo
men in executive educational posi-
tions; IL Of the Ss bureau officials
listed in the directory are women.

N. Redwood Dam
Carried Away Tues.
Masonry Succumbs to Eeavy
Strain of Continuous High
Water; Scene Spoiled

One Of the prettiest bits Of
landscape in the entire Mime
sofa River valley underwent a
complete change last Tuesday
evening, when the dam at the
North Redwood mill gave LAY
to the pressure and the waters
of the mill pool escaped. The
scene during the rush of the
water down the valley was one
of wild beauty-and the rush
was also a bit terrifying to the
residents along the banks. Num-
berless fish, mostly pickerel and
bass, were picked up after the
flood had spent it's force.
This mill pool recently became
the property of a large power
corporation. The owners had
decided to put in a concrete dam
of modern type at some time in
the near future, and so do not
look upon the destruction Of the
old dam as any particular mis-
fortune. Just when the new
dam will be put in has not been
ascertained.

Liked New Mexico

H. M. Aune returned Monday
from trip to "the Border" hav-
ing visited Albuquerque, New
Mex. last week. Mr.. Aune ex-
presses his delight with the
climate of this southern city
which is of high altitude, with
a dry, rare and invigorating at
mosphere. He found much to
interest him also, in the Won
derful old irrigation ditch and
the old mission, both of which
date back into several centur-
les ago, and in the splendid San
ia Fe railroad which is the cream
of all railroad construction and
service.
Mr.. Aune took a marked dis
like to Missouri which he says
is a state of good crops, dilapi-
dated and ramshackle farm
homes, mule teams and general
unprogressiveness. He counted
twenty-five teams and one car
on the street of one country
town, and decided Missouri was
too out-of-date for anyone from
Redwood Falls. He compared
iowa and Nebraska very favor
ably with Minnesota and thinks
Kansas is probably one OF the
best of all the states.

Use Your DINNER
TOPrevent Trouble
Automobile Accidents Often
Caused by Careless Use Of
Headlights
PUT SAFETY FIRST
w. F. Jackson, E. kuenzli And
Others Have Cars Ditched Be-
cause DINNERS Are not Used

Several automobile accidents
which might have been extreme
ly serious have occurred lately
because Of carelessness on the
part of drivers in using-or
rather, not using, the DINNERS
on their headlights.
Not long ago the E. Kuenzli
car was ditched because Of the
binding lights of the car met,
more recently the J. H. Jackson
car was so deeply imbedded in
the mud and water, on the side
of the west state road, that it
was eXtricated with great diff
Gully, and several other accidents
of the same nature might be
mentioned.
The bright light is especially
dangerous this year because of
the high water, making the edge
Of the grades very unsafe. If
the driver, blinded by the intol-
cradle light he is facing, swerves
a few inches too far, his car is
either hopelessly ditched or he
has collided with the car he is
meeting. Where both cars have
the undimmed light an escape
from accident is not only for
tunate-it is little short OF mi
raculous.
Nearly every car driven on
Redwood County roads is
equipped with a DINNER, which
is conveniently used at a Sec
ond's notice. Any driver not
using it has little consideration
for the safety or comfort Of his
neighbor or little regard for the
laws and courtesies. The coun-
Gil of Redwood Falls is to con-
slider the passing of an ordinance
governing the use of the dim
mer at it's next meeting. IN the
meantime every car driver
should appoint himself d mem
Der of countrywide committee
for the suppression of the dan
gerous misuse of headlights.
