Women on Juries

editorial goes on the assumption. not

duty is heavy burden on the citizen.

Two constitutional amendments are
pending for option at the November
election whic are vital to the schools
OF Louisiana and New Orleans. One

Now Sappho. as all students o. Greek
history and literature know, was a l.eshian
poeiess OF good family, who lived about
SIX centuries before the Christian era. The
chief motives OF the poems which made
her famous were love and the beauty o!
nature. They contained no profound
thoughts and few striking images, bu, are
marked ny exquisite beauty Of diction and
liquid lapse OF rhythm. From the fragments
OF hey work which have come down to us
1t Is inferred that she practiced or taught
the art OF poetry IN a school OF maidcns
OF about her own age. She was dcvotediy
attached TO these maidens. composinr
their brida! odes when they left her u

Sappl!o was a contemporary OF the poet
A!caens. and with him the chief creator
