FIRST TO TEACH PHILOSOPHY
Honor 10 Accorded ThaIes, Who Es-
tabllshed School Which Exerted
Wide Influence.

The first school of philosophy was
established In Miletus (Asia Minor)
by Thales, one of the wise men, and
was qrite q remarkable institution.
exerting an influence for more than
a century.
Thales seems TO have given himself
more entirely TO this school than to
any of his other undertakings. There
is legend that he never married, and
when his mother pressed him TO do so
he said: at is not yet time" After
his youth was passed she again urged
him to marry and ne said: ut is no
longer time"
Many of the subjects taught in his
school, such as astronomy, geometry
and geography, show the influence of
Egypt and Phoenicia; but the phi
losophy was probably an original prod
net. for while some of the sciences
were somewhat advanced, the philOso-
ply was apparently a first attempt at
an explanation of the origin of the
world. 1t originated movement
which eliminated more than
century later in the idealism of Plato.
We may perhaps understand some
thing of the attitude of the COM
mon people toward Thales' school of
philosophy from the story of the old
woman who laughed when the master
fell backward into a ditch after gaZ-
ing too long at the stars. The old
woman not only laughed. but she is
said TO have called after him: IF
you cannot see what is under your
feet. how can you understand what is
In heaven?"
The geography and astronomy
taught in this school were very prim-
tive: The earth was flat. the sun
crcled around it horizontally, being
concealed at night by high hills. One
writer of the time describes the world
in the following poetical way: God
makes a mantle, large and fair and
embroiders on it earth and ocean ane
oceans dwellings"

girl wage earners, and an indus
trial survey Of New York City
disclosed that four out OF every
FIVE girls had dependents and
we're forced into the field OF in-I
dustry by necessity.
The 1910 United States Census
Report shows that II per cent
Of the entire female population OF
the United States are, or have
been. married that one ont Of
every four women was a wage
Garner: and one ont of every four
wage earners a married woman.
In its Third Annual Report,
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education states that there are
more persons engaged in home
making t.stp in any otner single
occupation; that there were
about 25.o00,000 women Of TWEEN
~ or more years Of age in the
United States in 1910, OF whom
so per cent were married, and as
sumes that it is but fair. to say
that as large proportion OF the
girls under twenty years OF age
will eventually marry.
From the above it would seem
that man need not fear the en-
trance Of woman il industry, by
tradition and instinct, home max
ing is woman's exclusive job and
her influence will always be
found for the betterment of So
ciety. protection of human life.
and for the happiness and well
fare OF mankind.
The fundamental aim of the
Federal Board for Vocational
Education is to see that the in
dividual is fitted to pursue eff
fectivciy some specialized work.
whether for industry or home
making. Vocational education
makes it possible for the woman
to know and enjoy her work, and
60 find that class of work that
calls not only for her interest but
also develops her latent ability
and thus 6nd solution TO much
anxiety and dissatisfaction both
in industry and in the home.

Gently at one of our educational
conventions that men nowadays

BAN ON DANCING
IS JOKE ON SHORE


Mr.. Weilbrenner, of the Baltimore
county delegation, evidently liking a
joke and recalling that most of the
members. of the House from the nine
Eastern Shore counties have consist
emily voted dry and against the race
tracks, yesterday offered bill in that
body to make it unlawful to dance a
square or round dance. shimmy, fox
trot or jazz under penalty of fine Of
500.
1t is understood that the Eastern
Shore members will get together next
week and offer some amendments to
extend the measure to the entire State
so as to catch the city members.

WHY OBSTRUCT?

Those interested in street inn
provements in Annapolis have
been expecting to hear OF more
steady progress Of one local bill
in the Legislature which has that
end in view. This is the bill in
troduced by Delegate Bernard ]
Wiegard on March II, and which
provides that the unexpended
balance left over from the bond
issue OF 1906 be applied by the
city towards street improve
mcnts.
This balance now amounts to
more than 81 100, and there are
SO many places. even il confined
TO those under the original act
and ordinances, where it could
be readily used, that the wonder
is that the support given the bill
is not only unanimous but enthu-
siastic. Vet the fact is stated 10
be that the Mayor OF Annapolis,
for one. has gone SO far as 10
approach some members Of the
Legislature. including the author
Of the bill. i'll opposition to il,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
City Council by a decisive vote
endorsed the bill and authorized
it.

or any justification or excuse, for
this attitude Of opposition it is
certainly not apparent and the
people Of Annapolis cannot be
expected to have any patience
with it.

county's representatives in the
Legislature will see that the bill
proceeds to final enactment.
