centenarie, Of F.mou. Women.

New York, Dec. l6.-The year
soon to begin will be one not only
of unprecedented importance in the
effect it is bound to have upon the
future participation of women in all
fields of human activity, but it will
possess a peculiar interest associat-
ing il with the past, for it will in
clude the centenary anniversaries
of the birth of an unusually large
number of women whose lives and
achievements were of profound in
fluence upon the social, moral and
intellectual progress of the age.
MANY of these will be the subject
of individual comment as the conten-
airy dates occur, but the list is so
imposing that a brief glimpse at
few of its leading features in the
aggregate seems of interest at this
time.
The year will bring the centenary
OF Susan B. Anthony, who has been
called the greatest woman reformer
the world has ever known. As a
young woman Miss Anthony aided
in organizing the fist woman's tenn
perance society. Later she particle
pated in the anti-slavery movement
and during the civil war she was an
organizer of the Women's National
Loyal league. At the close of the
war she took up the cause of wom-
an suffrage. The course Ci Miss
Anthony's work after this time is a
history of the whole movement for
lettering the legal status of women

Horrors! Women S
Feet Growing
Larger


London, Dec. l6.-The Fairy
Prince would have a harder time
than ever fitting his Cinderella to-
day, because women's feet are grow
ing larger year by year. This fact
is made known by the managing d.
rector of one of the largest London
shoe factories.
During the last 50 years." he
said, "Englishwomen's feet have in
creased enormously in length. A
No. 3 shoe was worn by the average
woman in the middle of the last
century, whereas the average now
worn is a or 81. We find that
skies, and even larger shoes, can
hardly be kept in stock, they are SC
much in demand.
THE cause of this growth OF
women's feet can be attributed to
the amount of walking they do and
the number of games they play from
their earliest childhood"
Women's feet are much larger
than they used to be, but this does
not mean that they are no longer
beautiful. Public taste has changed
with the size of feet, and a small
foot is no longer considered neces-
sary for beauty. Indeed the shoe
manufacturer explained that long,
slender foot is considered more de-
sirable than short, inelegant one.
Long lines are the thing nova
day." he said. "The West End
clamors for long. graceful foot
wear, and fashionable women buy
shoes more than an Mich too long
rather than wear short, stumpy
shoes"

famous blind hymn writer, who

life in Bridgeport, Conn. She was

Heading the list of famous women

Keene, the celebrated actress and
manageress, whose name will ever
be associated in history with the as

Americanization for
Interested Women.

Seminar courses of instruction in
Americanization are being held in
California under the direction of the
extension department Of the state
university. In the Los Angeles
classes over 400 are in attendance,
the majority of whom are club wo-
mer who are preparing themselves
for active work in reaching the for
eign-born. Statistics show that the
immigrant is the great American
man-of -all-work. He produces
seven-tenths of all of the bituminous
coal mined and helps to make more
than so per cent of the gloves, shoes,
shirts, collars, cuffs, tobacco and
cigars manufactured. Four-hfths
of the furniture turned out is the
product of his hand at some plant
in its making. Seven-eighths of the
work done in wooden mills and nine
tenths of the work done in cotton
mills are the product of his energy:
Eighty-fvs per cent of the meat of
this country is slaughtered and
packed by foreign-born workers.
Yet millions of these workers can
neither read nor write English and
many speak it only brokenly. He is
indeed the great American problem
which the General Federation of
Women's Clubs is trying to help
solve and by study of his viewpoint
and trying to help him to under
stand American ideals and his great
opportunity here, to make him feel
at home and so Americanize him.

Americanization committees and its
department of education is spread

Schools

In many states, the man who has
voted just because he is male and
II, is beginning to rub his eyes and
wonder whether voting doesn't need
some preliminary instruction after
all. Women of at least four states
only two of which have woman sui.
frage-and only one of these full
suffrage, have invited their state uni
versities to help them become in
telligent citizens and at least three
state universities have made it their
business to issue courses of study
giving an intensive study of civics
to all women who apply.
The universities of California and
North Carolina have issued regular
study outlines on citizenship for
women as a part of the university
extension programs of the state
New Hampshire, which has not vel
issued such an extension leafiet. CO.
operated with the women's own pro-
gram last summer, when the New
Hampshire State college at Durham
was host to the women's own sum
mer school of citizenship. Next
summer Dartmouth will welcome
this same unique summer school.
Minnesota's university has gone
further in cooperation than has any
other. 1t has just held a shor'
course in citizenship for women vot'
ers, conducted jointly by the uni
versity's general extension division
and the Minnesota League of Won,
en- Voters. The sessions were held
in two places, those during the day
in one of the buildings on the main
university campus and those IN the
evening in the assembly room OF the
Minneapolis city hall.
One of the women present at the
short course has just reported that
en- account of limitation Of space,
registration for the day lectures was
limited to 800 and to 800 for the
evening lectures. But the popular
demand for admission was so great
that the latter had to be stretched
&c 800. The attendance from start
to finish remained consistently
large. The field of subjects COW
