Leila was Just informing Bayard

What Women Are Doing and SAVING
Here, There and Euery,vhere

THE Boston Teachers Club, repre-
sentative of sixteen other teach
ers, clubs in that city, has petitioned
the school board for an increase in
salaries sufficient to bring them up
to the recognized standard. An in
creased appropriation bill recently
passed the state legislature but has
not been accepted by the city govern
ment. Their purpose is in line with
the big general movement to see that
all women in any kind of employ
ment obtain a decent living wage.
COPIES of new wonmn's maga-
zine published at San Juan,
Porto Rico, have been received at
Washington. This is a monthly pub
lication called "Thc Woman's Her
ald.' 1t is devoted to those interests
about which women are especially
concerned. Sixteen pages of matter,
with illustrations, make up the pub
lication. The articles are printed in

For the Bill

AS the hearings continue, which
they are expected to do for some
time, other women educators will be
introduced. 1t is expected that Miss
Wood, head Of the legislative activi-
ties of the General Federation of
Clubs, will aid the bill. The organ
lied trade union women will also be
likely to give active support. The
organized clubwomen have sent out
letters to all their members, declar
ing that "the measure is as nearly
perfect as it is possible to prepare
and has the enthusiastic support of
the federation, Of the Parent-Teach-
ers Association and the Mothers

CiUics N0u the
Pet Pursuit in
Club Circles
of the suffrage

hASSAGE of the suffrage
amendment by Congress has
stimulated the study of citi-
zenship, the organization of the Fed
eral government and the relation of
state and county politics to the ma
tional politics among the organized
clubwomen, according to reports of
the Washington headquarters of the
General Federation of Clubs.
The study of civics is becoming
one Of the most popular subjects with
the thousands of clubs throughout
the country. About 2,500,0OO women
are organized in the general fedora
ton. These women are beginning to
use the Washington headquarters
of the national association. This Of
flee has been open for only about a
year and is service and informa-
ton bureau for the clubwomen.
Data from the various government
departments and the Congressional
Library are supplied through this
bureau to the women making re-
quests.
One feature of the general citi-
zenship study being made by the or
ganized clubwomen is their Ameri-
canization programme, which pro-
vides for extending an understand
ing of American citizenship to the
immigrant. 1t is pointed out by the
headquarters executives that this eff
fort to interpret the laws of the
country to the foreign-born resident
is doing much to prepare the aver
age clubwoman for her duty as a
citizen. Every indication points to
a broadening Of the club programmes
of 1919-'20 to include all phases of
civic and political discussions. The
studies of the causes of the war
made SO diligently by the women for
the past two winters will be sue
ceeded by inquiries and studies on
community problems and their own
political welfare.
Mrs. Henry Lockwood has been
named executive secretary of the
Washington bureau. She has Just

of the Senate Committee on Suf-
frage, has been the first member to
extend the gallery courtesies to the
general federation of clubs. 1t is
planned to have a standing reserva-
tion for the general federation for
those Legislative matters in which

school, and after graduation, while
working, went to evening high school

Miss Rothenberg carries out her
interest in young men and women
by participation in recreation work.
She is chairman Of the recreation
committee of the Mount Morris
council and has active convictions
on the subject. 'If the girls and
boys could obtain amusement under
wholesome conditions" she said,
"the result would be that many of
them would be saved from seeking
pleasures Of the sordid kind"
Miss Rothenberg was graduated
from the New York University Law
School, which she attended even
lngs, in 1914, and was admitted to
the bar in April of 1915. She
worked her way through law school.
Since she began her practice she
has had numerous opportunities to
aid those who needed justice, but
she modestly refuses to disclose
their nature. Now, as she is abcu.

with earnest face she points out how
broad will be the course of her part

of Miss Rothenberg and the e-g,-
ness of her mouth. 1t is a goox
face, here, one of strength and de-
termination. There is character in
