would be a real service to the state,
il they were given the right to serve
both as trustees and members on our
boards of education. They already
have this privilege in most sections Of
the country and there is small reason
for Georgia to deny them the service
"The time is coming when it will be
wondered why we of the present gen.
eraion were so dull as not to have
seen there should be women on every
school board Many are already Won

III finding out that to make of school
boards what they ought to be they

Reasons are so plentiful and so patent
that failure to see shows evidence of
blindness and stupidity.
ut is true, as the Georgia superin-
tendent says, that in the very nature
of things women of the community
feel a keen interest in the welfare of
the children they are interested in the
progress they make with their books,
and what is equally if not more import

vation of the health of the children
The country needs educated men and
women, and it wants physically strong
or men and women. Recent reports,
mentioned in this paper, relating to the
per cent. of those rejected from mill
tary service on account Of physical
defects show deterioration, and it is
high time for a change in that respect.
, Children in the schools should be
educated in the art of cleanliness and
that is something of which the aver
age man shows ignorance A majority
Of the teachers in the public schools
are women. and women on the school
boards would be able to get closer to
the teachers and know how to SYM
pathize with them and give them as
sistance in the discharge of their
often delicate duties. AS a rule women
are more likely to closely note san
itary conditions in and about the
schoolhouses."
Professor Harry Clark, of the Uni
versity of Tennessee Summer school,
writes of the statement of the Georgia
commissioner and women on school
boards as follows:
Although | am very much of con-
sentative, especially on suffrage mat
tiers, | must say that the placing of
women on school boards was one of
the best laws Tennessee ever passed
Tennessee school-board women have
worked to eliminate politics from
schools. With the maternal instinct
they have laid more emphasis on the
! relatively neglected elementary
schools.
"They have insisted in every case
on better sanitation. In one case a

 Following the now famous de- mcnstra tion of April 23rd last, the citizens of the newly formed Rus sian republic have vigorously and constantly protested to the Amer ican government against the San Francisco frama-ups, and during the visit of the recent commission to Petrograd the American embassy was constantly picketed by Russian workmen carrying large pictures of Frank c.

expressed their desire that the San Francisco situation should be clear, ed up. The Russian situation be- came so important that Secretary of War Newton Baker took an ac- tive part in securing this inyestiga- tion. Every representative labor man in Washington, including those in the Presidents own official family, worked hard toward the same end, in fact the feeling was unanimous in the national capital that it was vital in an international sense that the frame-ups in San Francisco should be eXhaustively investigated and the truth be made known to the whole world.
