WOMEN AND RELIGION.

A striking article in the Atlantic
by Bernard Iddings Bell, Dean Of
the Cathedral of Fond du Lac. puts
in a new form one Of the reasons
why women ought to have . vote.
In discussing why women, as . rule,
take more inter est than men in re-
ligion. he says:
THE real reason why women are
more religious than men today is
because they are more human than
men. It is not By nature that they
are so. Social conditions have
made them SO. Az We have divided
the labor OF the world between the
sexes. the work OF men 70 almost
entirely concerned with the pr0duc-
ton aud distribution Of things; the
work of women almost entlreiy Wst.
the production and sustenan0e vi

while, has hardly done an act OF
labor all tho day. has hardly madt
plan or had q thought. which is
not with considerable intimacy re-
lated to uman heingc-her husband
her children, her neighbors.
Generations of this help TO make
male sex which thinks predomi-
nantly in terms of property. female
sex which thinks most largely IN
terms Of persons. They tend to
make men estimate success in terms
OF bank accounts. while they assist
women to count achievement in
terms of human happiness. They
make society. to the male. an
arrangement for the protection OF
the interests of the production; to
the female, an organism for the In
surance of proper and adequate con-
sumption. They make men inter-
ested, with q fervor no woman can
understand. in their business firms
and commercial associations. They
make women absorbed. to = degree
that Is past the comprehension Of
most men, in their religion and their
church.
For religion is. in essence. the
translation into the supernatural
realm OF the personal values learned
in earthly life. No diety can ever
be long revered by people whose
life-values differ from those that
diety expresses. Christ offers, for
the worship Of the world. the perfect
ly self-sacrilicing person. the Being
who gladly renounces the pursuit of
things for the sake OF fulfilling the
happiness OF people. He says to
those who would worship Him,
Mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he
possesseth.' and He who would not

FIRST GRADE SCHOOL WORK.
(By Miss Adele Perreand)

On "Visitors' Day" at the Coving-
ton school, was impressed with the
diversity of opinion on many sub
jeets existing between the represen-
ta.::ves of the different schools; and
discoy cred that I hold several op,n-
icns that are radically different fr 'la
those Of the first grade teacher in
the Covington school on a subject OF
more vital Importance than the rela-
tive merits of the 'slow" or ''quick
step" march.
One of these differences, which /
shall discuss, concerns the text book
to be used The State Board OF
Education makes the use OF the
Wheeler Primer or the New Educa-
tion Reader optional with the teach:
er I have come to the conclusion
that the New Education Reader
should not be used because its ar
rangement, pictures, subject matter.
vocabulary, and style, are all open
to severe criticism; and. its method
is contrary to the laws Of psychology.
In the first place, the sentence ar
rangement Is very confusing to a
young reader. This confusion Is
added to by the highly complex style
of paragraphing, and some lessons
are cut through by pictures In such
way as to be veritable Chinese
puzzles to a child's mind. (See
page 71). The pictures have moth
dng whatever to recommend them,
being neither artistic. instructive,
nor interesting.
AS to the subject matter, 1 doubt
whether the authors themselves
could discuss it satisfactorily. The
lessons are not grouped about any
particular thought, but are merely
lists of words strung together. to
form painfully artificial sentences
and paragraphs.
The choice of words for q first
reader has a great deal to do with
the ease and pleasure with which a
child learns to read. To require
him to learn new words, when he
cannot recognize the printed form OF
the most familiar name, Is to pile
up difficulties unnecessarily. The
first words that he learns are names
of things; the next, what those
things can do. So a good reader
should contain not more than two
or three hundred familiar words
largely names, and actions; and all

A SUFFRAGE SITE LEADS.

Equal suffrage states are taking the
lead in looking after the welfare of school
teachers. This Is natural. Women want
the best for their children; and the well
fare of the teacher is bound up with the
welfare OF the children. First-class teach
ing cannot be given by a tired, worried,
nervously-exhausted teacher. A bulletin
lately prepared by r. 8. Kellogg and dis
tributed through the United States Bu-
reau OF Education described q movement
to provide comfortable homes for country
teachers. and points out that the equal

fortunate. Miss Dunham suffered
the fracture OF the outer plate Of

ceived no serious external wounds

With the Stars and Stripes waving and our gallant boys marching to the Mexican border, we begin to see ma terial evidence of the Preparedness propaganda Only July we will see still more of it. The display on the day of the nations birth will be a general outpouring of the people who are not ordinarily inclined to the mil itary I will be one of these. 1 am going to march shoulder to shoulder with other business and professional men to show that I believe in uphold. ing the honor of the country, and that we should be prepared at all t.mes to defend it.
 My first display of an interest in Preparedness was when I graduated from the American Medical College and then took a course in the Univer- sity of Arts and Sciences, thus having two medical schools behind me in my search for qualification. I now offer you my services in a campaign for Preparedness in health. Consult me and l will make you sound, if it is possible for a doctor to do so.
 My last step for Preparedness was in announcing that 1 would aid you to health and at the same time assist you to Financial Preparedness by treating all who call, for s1, and also furnish the necessary medicines.
 I have thus Raised an Army of Sat isfied Patients, and fit hundreds of men for their Country's Defense, and saved them many hundreds of dollars in the process of rebuilding. If you are ailing, or your system is run down, get little Preparedness by calling at my office.
