DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER
CHIEF AIM OF SCHOOLS

Throughout our courses of study
emphasis is placed on thorough ground
ing III the fundamentals. These courses
look to the grading and standa rdizinE
of schools and TO testing the results
in the simplest and most effective
manner known to teachers. Tho in
culcation OF habits OF sclf-rcIiancc
obedience and industry--in short. the
development of charactcr-is insisted
upon throughout the child's school
life
For many years | have been an un-
yielding champion of the small coun-
try schools, believing that they should
have the privileges of bcttcr-traincd
teachers, longer terms and standard
course of study. In my first report as
state superintendent ] made a we'll
known appeal which resulted in the
establishment In 1914 OF the one and
two-room school fund OF 100000.
Cooperation has been the keynote
Of educational progress in Virginia. The
school system is one body. The higher

cause the franchise had in the first
instance been given to the mar who

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 as thay stay 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
well 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?"

CLOSET CREEDS THAT GET
NOWHERE.

Has any devotee of the anti-suf-
frage creed, ever given it a working
test? Ever tried, by It's guidance,
family, or secured clean alleys in her
neighborhood in the summer months,
or safe sanitary conditions in the
workshop where her daughters under
clothes were made? All important
things, as any home-maker must ad-
NIT. The creed reads, 1--WE believe
that women, according to their leisure,
opportunity and experience, should
take part increasingly in civic and
municipal affairs, as they have always
done in charitable, ph%ilanthropic and
educational activities. And we believe
that this can be done best by women
without the ballot, as a non-partisan
body of DISTINGUISHED workers."
No woman can take part "increas-
ingly" in any branch of civic work
without coming, face up, to legisla-
ton, the need of it, the Injustice of
it or it's outworn graces, says the
Richmond, Va, Journal. Then what
is she to do, according to the creed?
There is but one course to pursue:
cajole the lawmaker. And how? By
her ages-long charm? Her smile? Her
wrath and disgust? By promises?
There is no dignity and no sense in
any such statement. Carried to its
logical conclusion, the first part Of
the creed, as quoted above, cannot
"best be done by ONE without the
ballot" The dignied thing to do is
to say to any lawmaker or aspiring
lawmaker, 81 ask for this legislation
because I see that it is needed and
the safety of the home and good of
the family demand it. I ask it as a
citizen responsible with you for the
welfare of my city"

convictions about woman suffrage.
He says:
"Where there is n man who as.
sumes composite responsibility, do.
ing his work and woman's also, a
dozen women are doing mans work
as well as their own. And yet these
women, who successfully, and with
every handicap of the times, manage
their households. who are fathers,
mothers, sisters, and brothers in one,
who do their work and mans work
also, are considered by altogether too
many men, and by far too many wo-

GOOD COOKS WANT GOOD
VOTES.

The following recipes have been
taken from various cook-books ISSUE
by the suffragists, of Brooklyn, Oh
Pennsylvania, and, best of all, by the
Woman's City Club of Long Beach,
California, showing that enf~ranchised
women do not desert the cook-stoVe
for the ballot box.
Fish Outlets.
Take IL cups of boiled halibut or
salmon, add a thick white sauce made
of three tablespoons of butter, one
third cup -four, n cup of hot milk,
one-half teaspoon of salt and pepper,
and one4half %teaspoonful of grated
onion. Mix with the fish and let cool.
Shape into outlets, dip in egg and
crumbs, fry in deep fat, drain in pa

with flour, mince one onion n fry

quantity of chicken broth, a few drops
of vinegar, and stir until well mixed.

boiling. over the macaroni. Take any
number of rib pork chops, cut away
fat, place on top of macaroni. Bake
twenty minutes in hot oven. Sprinkle
with grated cheese and brown.
This is called a good vote getter.

who feed a nation perform an import

From the beginning of tribal life,
women have been held responsible for
the health of the community, a func-

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 ome have at least
the municipal vote. In the three that
stand highest women have full sui
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 if 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, and in the remotest country
district, government. nurses give in
structions and aid to mothers, who
are 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.

FIRST AID TO PATRIOTISM WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The responsibility in a democratic government like the United
States rests with the voters.
AS long as one-half the People are denied the vote, the sense Of
responsibility in one-half the People will not be fully developed.
Women want to vote because the ballot is an added means OF
serving their country, and s a great developer of responsibility.
True Preparedness means the development of all the country's
resources. Until the women of this nation are equally responsible
with men, one-half of it's resources will be neglected, and the country
will not reach its full development of strength.
