But so far / haven't noted
That she's sprouted any whiskers or
adopted trouserettes;
And sac hasn't indicated
Since she got emancipated,
That she means to start out raiding
with q bunch OF sutfragettes.
Took her half an hour to do it,
And as soon as she was through 1t,
She went hustling home without a
stop to scrub the pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking,
Trimmed q dress she was making,
Mended socks and got tae iroalns sll
done IS haif past four.
She appears to be able

And to keep the moths from feeding

Just as landy with the baby
,Or q little more SO maybe)-
AS she was before they told her Wo-
man ought to have tae vote.
Far as I've observed Miraudy,
She is just as fond OF candy
And as keen to read the fashions and

AS before she was my equal

be the greatest among you. let him
be the servant of ALL The only per-
son who can ever freely and easily
worship Christ is q person whose
natural ideals and longings are shap-
ed that way, who really looks on life
as a thing of personal rather than
property values. Women, nine
tenths of whose life is lived on those
terms, is naturally drawn to Christ,
believes in Him, worslips Him. Man,
in order so to regard Him, must car
~ on a continual fight with his en-
vironment. Therefore the churches
are full OF women and empty OF
men,"
Dean Bell draws the conclusion
that equal suffrage is needed for
1.-The emancipation of men," We may
add taat it is needed also to secure a
right balance. 1t is important that
the business interests should be REP
resented in government; but when
they are represented exclusively, our
legislation is one-sided, concerning
itself almost wnolly with the COM
mercial view of things, and leaving
the human welfare aspect out OF
sight.

BRINGING CITY AND FARM WO
MEN TOGETHER.

A study to find out what women's
organizations are doing for rural life
has recently been made for the Coun-
try Life Department OF the Universe
ty of Wisconsin by Mrs. Edith Eli
colt Smith, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Rural Progress Association. AS
the topic is directly in line with the
work that was so urgently advocated
before the meeting OF st. Tammany
parish women on March 18th, the re-
suit of these Investigations should be
Of interest to all who attended that
meeting as well as to others who
should have been there.
Mrs. Smiths Investigations cover
ed women's clubs, lodges and socie-
ties throughout Wisconsin. She
calls attention to the Importance Of
the farmers share in supporting the
trade Of the cities. but points out
that there is a Chinese wall of Sc
which keeps apart the coun-

because of the manner of procedure
Instead Of coming to the teacher and
finding out the true condition o,
things. they rely strictly upon wha..
Johnny" told them and what other
secondhand information they were
able to gather along the way.
It seems to me that the best so
luton for any complaint against the
school or teacher, is to go directly
to the principal or teacher and find
out just what has been the troubl,
and the reason for the trouble. FIJI
out for yourself II the teacher has
caused the trouble alone or whether
your child may not have been a;
least an accomplice.
It Is fact that many parents pay
little or no attention to the monthly
report cards, made and sent out By
the teacher at the close of each
school month. In some cases, broth
er or sister signs these cards so as TO
keep father and mother from seeing
them. At the end Of the term, when
Johnny" Is failing then an alarm is
raised, but it is too late.
II your child fails. there is a rea-
son for it. The teachar may not
have done her duty, but there is also
q chance that the pupil may have
been a little negligent. Parents
should know If their child Is failing &
and why. II they do rot know

find out If all you have heard is
true and who has been at fault.
Find out If what Johnny told you
about his teachA WHO kept him in
to learn lesson that he had failed
to get, Is true or only imagination
on his part. That gives the teacher
at least an equal chance with "John-
ny" to explain.
