senator's OF all the states be elected by
popular vote.
CO.. II the constitution is amended
in the near future as we have every
reason to expect it will be, so that we
elect our presidents by popular vote,
will not the men Of the central and
eastern states be compelled not only to
give their women the right of suffrage
but to ask tirem to accept it as duty
which they ought to assume in the IN
terests Of keeping the balance of power
equal.
Co In our state a woman has every
single right a man has under the law,
to own property and to do business in
her own name. She inherits the same
interest in her husbands property that
he does in hers. The only privilege un-
der the law which she does not enjoy
is that Of suffrage. Here again you
come up against the proposition of tax
alton without representation. I am in
clined to think that 1t would be the
concensus of opinion Of all reasoning
men that a woman should have the
right by her vote to protect her proper
ty interests as well as men have. 1t
was taxation without representation
that made the Boston Tea Party fling
the tea into Boston Harbor. So you
see on principles of justice, she has a
right. it seems to me, to demand the
ballot to protect the vested rights
which the law granted her.

A Solution of the Problem
OF Supervision of Schools

The Maine department OF Education
is sending out very interesting ar
ticle on Superintendent of Maine
Schools Through the Union of Towns;
Solution OF the Problem of Super
vision of Schools 1t states that over
| 800 towns employ superintendent Of
| schools. A summary of the provisions
of the law is given, Sections 55-62,
Chapter 16. Revised Statutes of 1916
and it then adds some pertinent
facts, which say:
Superintendent of schools through
the union of towns is a well established
system Of proven worth. The success
of its operation in Maine is unques
| toned.
! \ large part OF the school system of
the State is under professional super
vision. This includes 319 towns in
which may be found S4 per cent. Of the
school population of the State. 50 per
cent of the school enrolment and Il
per cent. Of all the public schools
Fifty-siX towns entered upon the plan
in 1916
Only a few towns that have tried this
plan have later rejected it. OF these
nearly all have since returned to the
plan.
School supervision to be successful
must have all the attention of the Of
ficer employed. 1t cannot be successful
as a side issue to some other business
or occupation.
Towns can give their schools profess
Sional supervision only by joining with
other towns under State aid. The
union supervision provides for this.
School work is most effective when
under the continuous personal inspec-
ton Of persons who are constantly in
touch with the work of the schools.
Union supervision provides that the
superintendent must give his entire
time to supervision.
Union supervision tries to bring the
work of the schools nearer the parent
and the people. The professional super
intendcnt is himself posted about his
schools and can keep others informed
Teachers find that the professional
superintendent helps them to make
their work mere effective. The best
teachers approve the plan and prefer
to work under it.
Waste and inefficiency are pre-
vented by constant oversight. As a
business proposition 1t pays to keep
the superintendent of schools on his
work all the time.
An outline is also given for the
proper drawing of warrants for school
superintendcncy purposes. Tables of
statistics about local and professional
school supervision are also given as
follows. under date Of Jan. ]. 1917:

Federation of Labor Opposed
to Certain Proposed Changes

Cortez +. Smith Of Fairfield presi-
dent Of the Maine State Federation OF
Labor, said Saturday in relation to the
proposed amendment to the 54-hour
bill, which would exempt females en-
ployed in harvesting. packing, curing.
canning or drying any variety or per-
ishable fruit or vegetables or to fe-
males employed in candy factories:
Il am unalterably opposed to any
amendments at this time to the 54-hour
law for women and children. The new
law has not yet had time to work out.
1 believe that in it's present form. which
has been approved by a decisive major
ity by the voters of Maine, should be
tried at least two years without change.
Then, when another Legislature comes
INTO session the act and any changes
in it can be intelligently discussed in
the light of two years experience. 1t
would be very unwise to change any
provision of the law or add any new
provisions until we see just how it
works out"
