n T EVER in the social history of
America has one heard so
NJ much of the woman in busi-
\ ness and the woman OF af
fairs.
Possibly. when all the stories of the
war have been written, when history
has taken the peace conference as a
basis for settling the colossal argu-
ments that have arisen during this
struggle between the belligerents
there will come a serene time when
the historian of human nature can pay
attention TO something else besides ma
tiona.ism. socialism. autocracy and
the last argument of kings
Today the merest tyro in the study
of the worlds affairs feels conscious
that tremendous movements far be-
yond our ken are taking place. We
knew that the gigantic battle is but a
symptom OF world unrest, that it is
only the scabbard of the sword, the
mantle Of mans intentions
The woman who Is wise today Is
reading the newspaper stories of pres
ent affairs alongside the histories of
other battles and other centuries The
librarians say that never before have
women and men asked for so many
hooks on history. They seem to ap-
preciate the fact that nothing is new
and that all mans actions are based
on his fight for freedom
These readers of history easily
know that the present struggle is but
another evidence of human forces
bursting from their swaddling clothes.
II Is another echo of the cry that has
been made thru the centuries, but was
eIitomiZed in Lincoln's government
OF the people, by the people and for
tie people"
And in all this turmoil, those who
hold this electric torch before their
eyes. feeling sure of the final victory,
passionately believing that II is but tho
tur9ting of democracy into full bloom,
will see less of the present struggle
in their vision and more of the future.
And in that future there VIII be a
place for the woman in business and
the woman of affairs, for we are TAX
ing part In all this battle thru newer
Methods than our ancestors. The
women in America are not going into
the death battalions as the woman of
Fussia are doing to encourage their
Rlackers. They are not fighting from
their. windows with belt buckles of
tremendous size, as did the women in
the battles of the early centuries.
They are giving time, money, in
telligence, organization and influence
to the task OF making this world as
good place to live in as 1t can be
when half the world is battle-ground.
The historian, who, having finished
with the political reasons for the pres
ent war, looks with interest upon the
Advancement Of women INTO public
life at this epoch, will find material
worthy Of brilliant pen.
No one has yet written Of that
feeble start made only two decades
ago among the women who wished to

price of that suit would be raised far
beyond the present price of any cos
tune. So there's no economy in that.
In such n suit ten women viii look
well and one thousand Will look their
worst. SO that's an argument that
might work as leaven against the
other.
No one will deny that there should

dressmakers foresaw this situation,

France had glimmering OF it, but
she was not quite aware OF the
strength of tho movement She still
believes that America js the land or
birds of paradise. She only thinks
of us in terms of Aladdin-like wealth
and wearing the clothes Of old Bag.
dad.
However, when tho new clothes ar
rive from Paris and the women OF
this country digest them, they Will
be put thru the sieve of public opin-
ion, and what comes out Will be
Il iustWorthy.
There is much that women should
regard in clothes as a means to an
excellent end. They are going to be
too busy this entire winter to spend
they will not be able to indulge In
that foolish fancy of sending up
clothes on approval and returning
them the next day. The shops, pub
lie opinion and the Indignation OF In
telligent women are going to be d.
rected against this custom.
Therefore, II behooves every wom-
an to think we'll over what she wants
to buy for her outfit, and when she
buys 1t, to stick to It. We are a
wasteful nation in clothes as in food.
Everyone buys too many garments
Few of US have striking individual
ty OF thot in clothes. Much OF this
rendition Is due to the oVerwhelm-
ng display Of ready-to wear cos
,umes offered at reasonable price

low.
This situation may continue In the
shops, but 1t must now meet a high
~ trained mind. The woman who
sarns money IL apt to spend 1t more
foolishly for clothes than the other
kind of woman, which Is a truth that
seems to escape the majority Of those
who preach.
This truth has struck homo among
tho English and French, who say
that there has never been such ex-
travayunt purchasing Of clothes In

not forming battalions of death;
they're forming battalions of life
They are aroused TO the uttermost
depths of their age old instincts to
preserve and to help.
Woman has saved while man has
slain all thruout the history of life on
this planet. She is doing it now, but
there Is a gulf of difference fixed be-
tween the way she did IL in the Civil
war and the way she's doing 1t in this
war, and on that very difference rests
the foundation for the historians S
great story of woman's advancement
between the two great wars on this
continent.
She is not morbid, and, therefore,
she will not abjure or eliminate the
necessities of life and the pleasures of
living. She will still dress well, and
she will spend her leisure time enjoy
ing herself, for that is the anglo
saxon manner, and 1t will prevail until
the race is extinct.
Why not look that fact we'll in the
face instead of talking about elmi-
rating everything that makes life
pleasant and endurable and reducing
II to the bare skeleton that makes 1t
uncomfortable. II a woman is hard at
work she is not morbid, and the Amer
lean women, formed into huge bat
talions of intelligent endeavor, will
probably feel certain strain of hap
piness during this next winter that
they Rave never before felt in their
narrowed and limited lives.
In addition to those who work for
pleasure. there are literally thousands
who are going to labor for money for
the first time in their lives. Release
the men," Is the cry of the day. Hire
the women" is the cry that comes
after. And already these two slogans
have proved so successful in the battle
OF this country for commercial su-
premacy that the men are beginning
to grumble because they fear they will
not get back their places when the
war IL over.
1t seems as tho there is no occupa-
ton in which women cannot equal
men as soon as the RESPONSE bility is
put upon them. They're leaping at
their chances like young lion cubs to-
ward pieces OF meat held before their
noses.
Take your place in the stir of these
t!mes!" called out great preacher to
his congregation, and every woman
answered the command. His cry has
become the trumpet call to the wom-
en- of the country, and there Is no use
wasting time predicting that they will
so back 10 their own level when this
var !s over.
When the intelligence is awakened,
AK il has been, there is no narcotic Of
wealth and security that can deaden
il again. The situation must be
looked at in the light of a great his
torio event. 1t will be regarded as
one of the supreme movements In the
upward path OF women en- mass.
There Is no use preaching to wom-
en- to be morbid about clothes, and
thers is no use telling these women
cf awakened intelligence that they
must wear old and shabby things. be-
cause they are beginning to under
stand that this is not the way to
make q nation prosperous. Ten
years ago that slogan might have ap-
ealed to women: today. It IL brushed
aside as silly argument,

women who have gone to work for
the first time. The women in the
munltion plants simply pour out
their wages on finery in the London
shops, and the women of the bOur-

From that lighting of the candle. the
historian can trace the path until 1t
comes TO the present day and passes
on into the brilliant light Of fulfill
ment.
In this invasion Of women into civic
and business affairs there is wrapped
up a nations growth and a whole CEN
tury of psychological and moral de-
velopment.
Two decades ago one did not speak
of q woman who was in business with
any degree of pride. The family made
excuses for her. Men wondered what
the sex was coming to and vowed that
such women could never be wives and
mothers. The professions opened their
doors to women half way, and few
were paid the prices paid to men.
Contrast that beginning with the

of women in the department shops, in
ali the superior offices of the country
as heads of magazines. richly paid re-
portcrs on papers, dressmakers roll
ing in fortunes, lawyers handling diff
fIcult cases.
Then the war broke and the tidal
wave that washed up on the shores ot
society carried women to higher pin
nacles than they had ever hoped to
reach in the affairs of a nation. None
were so rich. none so poor, none so
conspicuous, none so obscure but
found way in which to serve the
country.
Society is secondary. Clothes are
secondary. The professions. such as
the stage. art and singing, are sub
merged for time. Our women are

British LiberaIity in Educational Pro
gram Does Not Extend to Ireland
Teachers Are Paid Not More
Than Laborers' Wages.

The Irish National teachers have at
last determined to do something more
than talk. There is a likelihood that
they may adopt that very British meth
cd and go on strike. They have seen
a continuous improvement effected in
the educational systems of England
and Scotland, with substantial i'm
provements in the lot of the teachers.
They have witnessed the policy of
up-grading eliminating in the spacious
plans of Mr.. Fisher and the ample
generosity in which the treasury is
evidently willing to back them. And
they have nothing to console them
selves with except a succession of mis-
cradle doles and ministerial promises,
made, apparently, to be broken.
The treasury is ready enough to
sustain the financial burden of the
English Educational Minister'S pro-
gram Of expansion and betterment, but
such considerations do not apply to
| Ireland. Here teachers may be put off
with the wages of English agricultural
, Iaborers, and it does not matter wheth-
So urgent has the case of the Ma
tional Teachers become, and SO bitter
! ly do they feel their treatment, that
many of them are urging their organ
ization to throw in it's lot with Trades
Unionists and affiliate with the Trades
Congress.
One of their demands is the addition
of 100000 to the Supplemental
Grant The resolutions which eman-
ated from the private session Of the
conference state several aspects of
the teachers case briefly and clearly
In some instances their incomes have
actually been reduced while many of
them will merely benefit to the extent
of five shillings year. But a much
greater question, which goes to the
root of a good deal of the irritation
and resentment affecting the entire
service, is the barrier of the averages,
which make it impossible for nearly
fifteen hundred members to advance in
! their profession.
While that system subsists fourteen
hundred teachers only "can ever reach
the highest grade" and more than
| that number of principals must re-
main in the lowest"
| The meaning of it is that the over
whelming majority of the children of
Ireland must continue to be taught by
wretchedly paid teachers as long as
the average barriers" continue.

looking back over the years which
have passed since its foundation we
find these charges amply substanti-
ated.
do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs Of thistles?" asks our Divine
Saviour of His Disciples est. Matthew,
vii, 1G). The cause was placed and
the result naturally followed, just as
the harvest of the fall is the result
of the seed sown in the spring. "The
dire agony of Professionalism" again
writes Archbishop Ireland, "as it sor-
rowfully contemplates the dreadful
ruins encumbering its pathways of
travel, is that all that has happened,
all that is happening, is the direct
result of it's own chosen principles"

And what of the future? OF that
we know nothing. Nor is it with
teries, pry into it's hidden recesses
and tear away the veil which hangs
over the dark and forbidden thresh-
old beyond which lie the, things which
are yet to come. But lying open be-
fore us is the record of past ages,
replete with examples of ruin and
failure, permitted by a benign Provi-
denee for our instruction.
How many blighted wrecks lie along
the shores of the stream of Time
which in their silent eloquence bid
us beware of like fate! How many
fair institutions, commencing their ca
reers in blaze of glory and with a
flourish of trumpets, now lie stranded
on these same shores awaiting either
the final overwhelming wave which
will obliterate them forever from the
remembrance of man, or, if they are
fated to live on in memory, the curses
and maledictions of succeeding gen.
erations! And if institutions, such as
these have failed, how much more
must the ruin of those be expected
whose foundations were built on the
quicksands of human pride, passion
and ambition!
From these wrecks and ruins we
learn that, just as no stream can rise
above it's source, or no effect can be
greater than it's cause, so no under
taking begun in pride, obstinacy an6
violence can hope to succeed, to claim
the whole-hearted esteem and the I'm
animous approval of mankind.
