LECTURE BY
 MISS MABEL HAYWOOD
Field Secretary Spoke Under Auspices
 of the College Club.

Miss Mabel Haywood of Boston, field secretary of the Internatio Insti- tute for Girls in Spain, gave an en- tertaining illustrated lecture on Fri day evening at the Osgood Memorial
 under the auspices of the College club. Rev. Samuel H. Howe, DID,, intro duced the speaker and Dr. w. Tyler Browne assisted with the slides. Miss
 Haywood drew a picture of the pow
 erty of women's lives in Spain, where they are considered too stupid to have any place outside the four walls of home and where there are consequent ly no women's clubs, no philanthropy ics or other movements of the kind.
 Few Noted Spanish Women.
 The Spanish women noted in history
 are only five or six and most of these
 were of noble birth-as none other
 could gain an education. The present
 king-Alfonso XIH.-is liberal and
 progressive and a great help to his country. She spoke of the chief di- versions of the people taken wholly without the home. In this, the women are left without reading, without with minds quicker and keener than their brothers they cannot exert the influence for good that they might be able to.
 The American School For Women. But America has done one thing for Spain in return for being discovered. l She has founded the school for wom- 1 en in Madrid. Miss Haywood told the story of the way in which this inter- national institute was started by Mrs l Alice Gordon Gulick, of how her pu- | pills were the first women in Spain to 1 take the government examinations, | and how she became the best loved | American woman in that country Since her death others have carried
 on her work and her ideals-the pres | ent directora being Miss Susan D. | Huntington.
 The First Woman on the Board. Miss Huntington Is one of the very | few women ever decorated by the | government and the first to be ap- | pointed on a board with Spanish men. | As teaching is the only work open to | the woman above the peasant class
 which gives her any opportunity at all and as the war Is driving the women | into some occupation this schol is a great blessing just nv.
 Miss Haywood told the story of two | graduates who are real heroines and
 who have beeS studying in America | to go back and take up nursing and | settlement work and teaching the | blind. They are girls of noble birth | and will be misunderstood and treated | with scorn by their class, but are do-
 ing it to set an example-to be pio- | neers in helping their country. The | pictures showed buildings in Madrid | spanish art, and the life of the people 1 as well as the Institute building and l the students and teachers.

pinchot are well founded on fact in the

Pinchot are we'll founded on fact in the
present instance. is immaterial. The
fact is that as general thing great cor
porations have sought to control the
water powers of this western country and
there never will be law stringent enough
to guard against such calamity.
The arguments advanced by the cor
porations, however, are not without
supporters and not without reason, and
that reason is the lethargic manner in
which all government contracts and
federal works are carried to conclusion.
The friends of corporation control point
to instances in the mountainous regions
of the West where hundreds of thousands
of horse power are passing down to the
seaboard while cities and towns are
suffering from corporation greed in the
way of light and power rates. All efforts
by private individuals to receive per-
mission from the government to exploit
and develop these natural sources Of
power, have been turned aside with a
curt denial. The same thing is true Of
the entreaties of the inhabitants of those
sections who have asked the government
to develop these water powers. The
corporations see the money going to
waste, the people clamor for improve
ments by the government wishes
of both are denied.

It pays to advertise, especially among
those who read the Review. Who
would have thought that it would be
possible to secure copy of the New Ulm
Review of the End of July, 1915 at this
late date? And yet in reply to a single
notice asking for such number, we have
already had two offers of the paper. This
certainly proves two things, that readers
pay attention to the ads in the Review
and that the Review is considered valu-
able enough to file away for future
reference. We are much obliged to those
who are sending in their copies and will
see to it that Mr.. Hartman who wanted
this particular issue is notified that he
can secure the number.

to a certain extent, yet there is, some
reason for it and the brothers of the
North and the South should try to
understand each other in the matter.
The lesson of hatred for war which is
said to be prime motive of the produc-
ton is unfortunately lost to great ex-
tent in the greater hatred for the acts
of the negroes after the war, as was plain
ly evidenced by the strong expressions
of approval when the Clansmen were
victorious over the rioting blacks. The
real lesson of which production is that
ignorance breeds crime and war is one
of the crimes of ignorance as we'll as any
other. When people are truly enlighten-
ed they will no longer resort to war, nor
will it be necessary, and the great film
scenes will certainly do their part to
dispel the ignorance Of all who see them.

Beam With The Child.

Encourage the child to build a birdhouse.
If he builds bird-house and puts it up in
a suitable location where wren or blue
bird will rent it, he is taking an important
step in wild bird protection. He soon
learns to watch and care for his bird
tenants. He will also learn to put out
food for his bird friends if snow comes
during the winter. He soon becomes a
protector of both song and game birds
and will help rid the community Of stray
cats, which are the worst enemies OF our
birds.
Start the child on the right path. If
he is given gun, he may take to killing
all sorts of creatures without restriction.
If he is encouraged to build bird-house,
he develops wholesome love for wild
birds. Game protection is largely edu-
cational. We must begin with the
child.-The Oregon Sportsman.
