More Lady Cops
Urged in Chicago
Separate Organization Unde:' a
Feminine Chief One of
New Plans
FEMININE police force q

4 FEMININE police force Of
~ from seventy-five to one hun
dred has been recommended
for Chicago by the members of the
Chicago Women's City Club. The
bureau would be separate from that
of the policemen and would have
at its head woman chief or captain.
The women's bureau Of the
Chicago police department has
twenty-nine members at present.
The recommendation for an increase
in the number Of women and for a
separate organization is made in the
belief that the work of the lady cops
should be more specialized than it
IS. The women Of the City Club
would conhne the work of police
women to protective lines.
1--WE believe that policewomen
should be highly trained social work
ors," said Miss Jessie F. Binford,
chairman of the club program COM
mlttee, in discussing the plan as the
club sees it. "Their efforts should
be directed toward protecting girls
and women from evil influences.
We advocate a higher grade of
civil service examination for police
women, and increased pay"
She pointed to the women's bu-
reaus OF the police departments in
Washington, D.. c., and St. Louis as
models toward which other cities
could work.

Democratic Leader
For Alaskan Women
THOUGH they cannot vote

4 THOUGH they cannot vote
N in. Presidential elections, the
women of Alaska who do
vote in all other elections will be
actively sought to become a part
of the Democratic women's organi-
.ation Of the United States by Mrs.
John Troy, of Juneau, Alaska. She
is the Alaska member Of the Ma
tional Woman's Democratic Com
mittee. Elections in Washington
are so closely identified with Alas
kan matters that the men and
women who vote in the state take
cognizance of the issues at stake for
the territory.

Clearing House the Object

tablish an Interchange
of Ideas and Discoveries
By GERALDINE H. MURRAY

By GERALDINE H. MURRAY
T>EACHERS Of household eco.
(nomics, that subject often
scorned by the savants Of
our universities, are among the first
to embrace the idea back Of the
Notwithstanding Union 49, that of
cementing the bond of fellowship
and learning between Great Brit
ain and the United States. Co0rdi-
nation Of work done in this coun-
try and in other English-speaking
nations is about to become a fact
through the directors of the .owly
domestic arts and sciences. The
English speaking Union, an organi-
zation young in being but old in
concept, is trying to achieve a
strong bond Of friendship between
the English peoples of, the world,
and the teachers of household eco
nomics are trying to forge the link
in their own department at once.
The beginning was made last
summer, when Cora A. Steele, of
the department Of household eco
nomics, New York State College for
Teachers, was made official repre-
sentative by the international COM
mittee of the American Household
Economics Association. Miss Steele
went to England to propose plan
to English domestic subject teachers
whereby the methods, work and
ideas Of the two countries in this
branch of education might be CO.
ordinated. The plan which met with
universal approval was the PROPOSE
ton that there be an allied associa-
ton of teachers Of domestic sub
jects.
Miss Steele arranged for students
of the State College and students at
the Sheffield Training School for
Teachers of Household Arts to. ex-
change notebooks, samples of work
done, discussion papers and methods.
She has urged the English domestic
art teachers to be prepared to ex-
change methods with the faculties
of American schools and colleges.
The numerous government bulletins
published both here and abroad will
be interchanged. as we'll as books.
Other American colleges have
taken up. the idea of individual re-
lationship with British methods. II
is understood that Teachers College
at Columbia and others of the tech
meal schools will enter the alliance
A clearing house is to be estab.
lished later in both countries, with
various branches, by means Of which
visiting teachers and. investigators
may be received, inspection and
lecture tours planned, and ample
opportunity be given visitors to be-
come familiar with other English.

Southern
Republican
Woman to Lead
TINE new leader of Republican
women was the center of all

women was the center of all
New York Republican curl
osity last week. Mrs. John G. South,
of Frankfort, Ky, recently ap-
pointed by National Committee
Chairman Will H. Hays to take the
place of Mrs. Medill Mccormick as
chairman of the Republican Wom-
ems National Executive Committee,
was in New York nearly all week.
She came primarily to attend the
New York Republican women's ban
quet in honor of Mr.. Hays Wednes-
day night.
When Mrs. Mccormick resigned
last fall, because of i'll health, the
North and South and East and West
watched the appointment of her
successor. To Kentucky went the
place, and Republican women fell
in behind Mrs. South.
Working Beside
Her Father
Like Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
Mrs. South as a girl enjoyed the
very close companionship Of a
father active in politics. She is the
only daughter of the late W. O..
Bradley. There was a time when
Senator Bradley was the Republi-
can party Of Kentucky. Mrs. South
as young woman accompanied him
on his campaign trips when he was
running for governor and for the
United States Senate. She was no
small factor in making those cam
paigns successful. The rapid growth
of the Republican party in Ken
lucky has been accompanied by the
political success Of the family to
which Mrs. South belongs.
eve are particularly proud Of
Kentucky's suffrage progress" said
Mrs. South last week. "When the
suffrage party began serious cam
paigning in Kentucky only one men,
Der of the Washington delegation
was in favor of women's voting.
When the Federal amendment went
through there we're ten Kentucky
Representatives for the measure and
one against, and one Senator voted
for the measure"
Southern and
Republican
Mrs. South was president Of the
state suffrage association for four
years. She stanchly maintains that
the Republican party should reap E
harvest of gratitude from the
women voters of the country be-
cause of the help which the Repub
lican party has given the amend
ment.
The leader Of Republican womer
is an attractive little person, notice
ably under medium height. She is
typically Southern, having the sof1
brown eyes, the rich speech and the
eternally feminine attraction Of
Southern women. She knows the
, principles Of the party we'll. i
seems an anachronism that a typica
!, Southern woman should be so thor
oughly Republican.

''Back to School" Drive
Showed Indifference To
Be One of the Causes
of Children's Working
Federal Law Does
Not Touch Farmers
Shortage of Teachers In
Huences Conditions i'm
Many Communities

TIME million and more children
under sixteen years of age
who leave school annually in
the United States to go to work are
not all forced into industry because
Of poverty, according to the first Off
cial reports Of the Children's Bureau
on the "back to school" drive held in
connection with Children's Year.
Schools must be made more at
tractive and parents more sensitive
to the value Of a completed educa-
ton, says this report. One reason
for keeping children in school is
keeping them out Of industry before
they are prepared to assume these
burdens. The experience of child
welfare committees showed that dis
contented school pupils became the
child laborera
No Schools IN
Many Places
Unattractive school buildings,
poorly trained teachers and sparse
equipment are factors in making the
boy or girl restless at school. 1t is
also declared that the present Fed
eral child labor law does not reach
more than 100000 of the 100000
working children over ten years of
age, as at least three-fourths of
these are In the agricultural dis
tricts. England has found it neces-
sary to prohibit the working of chill
dren on farms so that they may be
sent to school regularly. The United
States Department Of Labor says
that rural child labor must be abol-
ished. One state attendance officer
reported that LOO children failed to
get even one day Of schooling in a
certain district for the winter of
1918'19. Another state found it had
1895 children who did not 20 to
school that year, either.
In many cases there are no schools
to attend. The "back to the school"
drive stimulated local surveys OF the
school resources. Some Of the
schools were closed for lack of teach
ers, and the general report lays this
lack to the low salaries paid A few
Of the states met this condition b.
minimum teaching salary
from $1,000 to $1,000, but there ar,
communities where teachers are paid
only $40 month.
One community followed up the
list of children given working per-
nits during vacation and persuaded
many of them to go to school in the
fall instead Of remaining at their
jobs. In another city a travelling
school teacher corps went into the
families of the working children to
explain to the mothers and fathers
the advantages of education.

Ohio May Come OFF the List
Until a Statewide Refer

Suffrage Amen d m ent
''Wets'' Are Opposed
Mrs. Upton Says Ohio Won
en- Are Cali Dressed Up.
and Have No Place to Co..

ME two Dakotas ratified the
Federal woman suffrage
amendment last week. North
Dakota was the twentieth state to
join the ranks of ratifers December
1, and South Dakota passed the
amendment December 3.
However, the numbers may be
shifted by Ohio. Mrs. Harriet Tay-
lor Upton, president of the Ohio
State Suffrage Association, was in
New York last week attending the
Republican dinner. According to
Mrs. Upton's opinion the ratification
of suffrage by the Ohio State Legis-
lature may mean nothing at all.
The '.Wets''
In Opposition
"The wet forces in Ohio are
working against suffrage" said
Mrs. Upton. "The decision on the
Federal prohibition amendment was
that it could not be ratified in Ohio
except by state referendum. The
same decision holds for the suffrage
amendment"
Ohio has been fourth in the list
of states to ratify Federal suffrage.
If statewide referendum is neces-
sary the place of Ohio will be shift
ed, If it remains on the list at all.
Mrs. Upton believes that the women
of Ohio will get the vote only after
thirty-six other state legislatures
have ratified the Federal amend
ment.
"The women CT Ohio are all
dressed up for suffrage and have no
place to co." said Mrs. Upton. eve
are ready to vote and most of us
are eager for the privilege. But
we believe we shall have to sit back
and wait for the other states to
make it possible for US to do so.

Better Paid
Inspectors

1t was the opinion Of those con-
Quoting these campaigns that once
the parents were reached the ways
and means Of keeping the child in
school would be forthcoming. Little
printed tags were used by the local
committee in one city to entice the
parents to the schools to see how
they were conducted and what they
offered to the boy or girl. Charts
showing the economic possibilities
Of high school education, compared
with that ending with the eighth
grade, were extensively used.
The Children's Bureau also advo-
Gates better paid truant officers and
better paid state child labor m
spectors. The salaries paid these
officials, like those of the teachers,
are too low to attract the trained
element. A strong argument in IA
vor of paying these attendance Off
GERS more money than now is in the
expense of reteaching. Children are
retarded in their studies if they
are absent frequently, says the
bureau. This retardation means
elimination, and that means a job
for the child, or means poor grades,
and that means reteaching. 1t costs
one state $4,000 a year to reteach
the children who fail to make their
