IS IT PUBLlC-SPIRITED7
BY. Jane Addams.

From the beginning of tribal life,
women have been held responsible for
the health of the community, a func-
ton which is now represented by the
health department. From the days Of
the cave jewellers, SO far as the homo
was clean and wholesome, it was due
to their efforts, which are now repre-
scented by the Bureau Of Tenement
House Inspection. From the period
of the primitive village, the only pub
lie sweeping which was performed
was what they undertook in their
divers dooryards, that which is now
represented by the Bureau of Street
Cleaning. Most Of the departments
in a modern city can be traced to
woman's traditional activity; but, In
spite Of this, so DON as these old
affairs were turned over to the CITY,
they slipped from woman's hands, ap-
parently because they then became
matters for collective action and i'm
piled the use of the franchise. Be-

cause the franchise had in the first
instance been given to the mar who
could fight, because in the beginning
he alone could vote who could carry
a weapon, it was considered an i'm
proper thing for a woman to possess
It.
Is it quite public spirited for women
to say, 1--WE will take care OF these
affairs so long Is they sta in our
own houses, but If they go outside
and concern so many people that they
cannot be carried on without the
mechanism of the vote, we will drop
them; it is true that these activities
which women have always had are
not at present being carried on very
we'll by the men in most of the great
American cities, but because we do
not consider it 'lady-like' to vote, we
will let them alone?"

Improvement of the school plant. In

the outside by the mother sex.

The Power of the Voters Broom
BY Madeline Mcdowell BreckinrIdae

It was not originally intended that
women should teach in our public
schools. It was not originally intend.
ed that women should vote in our
school elections. But some way and
somehow, the women have gotten in;
they are unfolding the school system
from within and from without. A
large majority OF the public school
teachers in the land are women.
Mothers of school children are more
and more "meddling'' in school affairs.
They are finding out whether school
houses are proper, whether school
teachers are capable, whether school
trustees are At persons. They are
exercising the divine prerogative of
mothers to NEEDLE in the education
Of their own children. Even in the

VOTE FOR BETTER BABIES.

There are seven countries which
have a lower death rate among babies
than the United States has. In every
one of them women have at least
the municipal vote. In the three that
stand highest women have full suf'
frage. They are New Zealand, Nor
way, and Australia.
The lowest death rate OF babies in
the world is in New Zealand.
Why?
Because the government realizes
the value of babies and does every
thing in its power to educate the
mothers and protect the baby.
New Zealand is baby's heaven.
His interests are looked after in the
City Hall as conscientiously as in the
Home. You may look after the baby
ever so conscientiously in the Home,
but II you don't look after him with
equal conscience in the City Hall, he
pindles away. He sickens. He dies.
In New Zealand, in every town and
village, ard in the remotest country
district, government nurses give in
structions and aid to mothers, who
arc visited both before and after the
baby comes. Young girls ar taught
baby hygiene and feeding. Advice
from the best medical authorities is
printed and distributed free. Govern
ment Maternity Hospitals, Govern
ment Registration OF Nurses, and com
plete Government Registration of
Births, all aid in the low death rate.
Women have had the vote In New
Zealand for twenty years.
