1iMAIN PURPOSE OF FIRST CITIZENSHIP SCHOOL
III TO EMPHASIZE RELATION OF POLITICS TO HOME
SPONSOR OF FIRST SCHOOL
OUTLINES PROGRAM HELD
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE COL
LEGE LAST SUMMER.

Durham. N. Hon the strength of
the complete success attending the
first citizenship school established at
New Hampshire College. Durham, last
July. suffrage States throughout the
Union are preparing to hold citizen
ship schools In the coming summer
with the cooperation of State COL
leges. 2
Less than a year ago the first school
was a matter Of timid experimenting
by three pioneering women. Big
Eastern papers sent reporters to the
opening session to seoff-the reporters
went back to write OF the school as
instigating a new era, politically, of
transcendant Importance.
Mrs. Mary l. Wood. Of Portsmouth,
previously State chairman Of the
woman's committee. Council of Ma
tional Defense. and State home eco
nomics director. in whose mind the
idea first became tangible. presided
over these sessions. Sketching the
growth Of the plan. Mrs. Wood says:
Cooperation of College.
THE idea sprung into existence one
Friday evening when Miss Martha 8.
kimban, president OF the New Aamp-
shire Equal Suffrage Association; Miss
Edna Wright, organizer of that
association, and myself were discussc-
ing citizenship courses for the vari-
Gus local suffrage leagues. The sug-
gestion seemed so good we deter
mined to consult President Hetzel, of
New Hampshire College. about the
feasibility OF such a school and the
possibility of holding II at Durham
President Hetzel at once saw the
value of the plan and co-operated
with its sponsors to crystalize 1t into
a definite program, with the result
that the first citizenship school was
held at New Hampshire College from
July to u, 19l9-the first time, ac-
cording to suffrage leaders, in the
history of the world that a State col.
lege co-operated with the women OF
State in such an undertaking.
Purpose of School.
The purpose of the school" saws
Mrs Wood, was to show the rela-
tion Of politics to the home and
family"

ARCHERS CONTEST FOR
VALENTINE FAVORS

A Valentines Day hostess may find
a solution for the possible between
times lull after the gaiety of arrival
and before the supper hour, in an
adaptation of archery. The occasion
makes timely the use of tiny cupid's
bows and arrows, and red paper hearts
as targets.
A sheet is stretched across an end
of the room. Leasing a small space
behind the sheet To the cloth the pa
lper hearts are pinned. and a tiny VAL
entine's Day favor attached On the
reverse side of the sheet behind each
target. The guests are asked TO stand
a sufficient number Of PAGES distant
in the opposite end of the room. To
the archer who makes a bulls eye,
the favor behind that particular heart
is awarded.
Supper partners may be found with
the same game. Names of the guests
may replace the favors behind the
hearts. The guests are divided into
two sections. and one-half is allowed
to shoot for the names of the other
half. Such division may be made
by selecting the men as archers to
contest for the names of ''faire
ladyes.' Or. since this Is leap year.
the division may be reversed appropri-
ately, with the girls contesting for
their partners.

CAMPAIGNS SUCCEED.

A little Chinese girl with bound
feet, a waitress in fashionable San
Francisco retaurant. was one of the
enthusiastic supporters of the Y. w.
c. A. who met at a recent luncheon
to discuss plans for that city's as
sociation's building campaign for
1920. Although this little girl has
clung to her Chinese religion, she
has found in the Y. w. C.. A. safety,
home and friends" ever since she
came to this country.
Such testimonies as this are COM
mon in the meetings which accom-
pany the present Y. W. c. A. cam
paign for funds, which are being
carried on in various cities all over
the country. The gratitude of for
eign-born women for the associa-
tion's protection and comfort in a
strange land insures their willing
ness to work for its continued serv-
ice.
The building campaigns which are
now going. on have already secured
over $5.00o.o00. and the drive con-
tinues until March the 10th. Boise.

whose twigs the Greek matrons
strewed on their beds during the
festival of Demeter, which the
Romans called Agnus Castus.
Incidentally. the Latin word for
lamb Is agnus, and since this animal
was used for the sacred purpose OF
sacrifice. Agnes comes by her herit-
age OF purity and sanctity logically
One of the FIRST women to bear the
name of Agnes was the gentle
Roman maiden whose martyrdom
named the Church of St. Agnese. IL
is said to have been built by Con-
stantine on the spot where she was
put to the utmost proof and retains
an old mosaic. picturing her clad
only in her flowing hair. being drag
ged along by brutal soldiers. An
other ancient church covers the
catacomb where she was Inferred
and the story goes that while her
relatives and pilgrims who came to
pay their. homage were weeping
there one day. she appeared sud-
denly in radiant glory with lamp
Of spotless whiteness.
TIE rospel for St Agnes day was
the parable Of the ten virgins and
since she was accused of magic arts,
the English superstition arose that by
watching and fasting on st. Agnes
Eve, maidens could discover their
fate in marriage: by praying nine
times to the moon and fasting three
ewes in succession. they could secure
whom they would. Keats. in his ex-
.nf st
Agnes" refers to this superstition:
They told her how upon st. Agnes
Eve,
Young virgins might have visions Of

As, supperless to bed they must re-

Agnes is popular in England. Scot
land. and as a royal name in France
and Germany. France calls her As-
nies; Agneta is an English form:
italian. The Welsh form is Nest.
The jewel assigned to Agnes Is the
agate which gives courage and
guards its wearer from danger. 1t

TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK

You can enjoy a delightful
shampoo with very little effort
and for a very trifling cost, if
you get from your druggist a
package of canthrox and dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid-enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.
Your shampoo is now ready. Just
pour a little at a time on the
scalp and hair until both are
entirely covered by the daintily
perfumed preparation that thor
oughly dissolves and removes
every bit Of dandruff, excess oil
and dirt After rinsing, the hair
dries quickly with a fiuffiness that
makes it seem heavier than it is,
and takes on rich luster and a
softness that makes arranging it
a pleasure.-Ady.
