tivity to break down the selfish in.

tivity to break down the selfish in
etincts and to develop the spirit
OF fair play, service and CO opera
ton, upon which all human So
ciety rests; when they are found
in their early teens already con-
sldering seriously the question of
what their life work is to be; when
they are trained for that work in
the school and 60 forth, not. lazy
and incompetent, but willing and
reasonably efficient workers; and
when they evince . genuine pref
erence for the smusements that
are innocent and wholesome rather
than vulgar and debasing.
These things were not generally
included in the education which
we who are older received. Rather,
ours was purely intellectual, con-
slsting of subjects studied from
books. We can see now that many
OF these subjects were really of
small use in later life, and that on
the other hand many Of those
things, which we missed, but which
the children of today are getting,
would have been of inestimable
value to us in life. We are even
ready to admit that the formation
of health habits and the develop
ment among the children Of the
spirit of good will and cooperation
are far more important to society
and to the individual than the
study Of geometry and Latin.
Round by tradition, we may
find it in our hearts to protest
against the new education, de.
handing that the old be restored
/; to it's accustomed place in oul
schools. 1t is futile; for the new
is better; and by reason of this
} fact, it must ultimately triumph
Nor should WE, who have ex
, perienced so keenly the actual neee
of this sort of training in life, seel
to retard or obstruct it's progress

Woman Suffers for Ideal

In New Jersey, the recent cleo
tion hinged upon the prohibition
law known as the Van Ness Bill,
whose author is Mrs. Jennie G.
Van Ness, formerly a member of
the state legislature but so no
longer.
The statute, which is exceeding.
ly stringent, was enacted into law
some time ago. In the recent
campaign, the democrats made its
repeal the great issue. As, q re-
suit, they defeated its author and
gained a few other seats in the leg
islature but failed to break the re-
publican control.
Like many others, Mrs. Van
Ness suffers "martyrdom" for an
ideal, which seems to be a new ex
perience among the women of
America since attaining their new
citizenship. They will, Of course,
'have to learn to bear it cheerfully,
since this is often the fate Of our
public servants who strive to do
their duty and to stand for right
eousness and justice in all things.

Our sister nation to the north
ward seems to be following in our
footsteps as nearly Is she is able.
The women of Canada have Just
participated in their first general
election on terms Of equality with
men. AS q result Of the election,
q new administration was voted in
by an overwhelming majority.
One woman was chosen to the
lower house, just as was the case
in our own country a year ago;
and to carry the parallel further,
she, like our own woman member
of Congress, is unmarried. She is
Miss Agnes McPhail, a woman
whose popularity is said to rest NO
more upon her pleasing personality
than upon the confidence which
her constituents have in her ability
and good sense.
In the results of this election car
be read only peace and goodwill
between the two great nations OF
the North American continent
The man who will succeed to thu
premiership, Mr.. w. L. Mckenzie
King, took his postgraduate de
grees at Harvard and the Univer
sity of Chicago.

Voters See Vital Truth

The women of New York seem
to have lost their power in the
elections Of last month. There
were q number of women candi-
dates for important Offices; but all
were defeated. including Miss
Margaret Smith, the only woman
member of the last House of Rep
resentatives.
There seems to have been q
tendency to make Of the contest a
sex issue; i. G., struggle of wo-
men against men. This is to be
deplored always; and it is probab-
ly as we'll that women candidates
who aspire to represent women
only. rather than all the people
should be defeated wherever
found. Whether women or men
| all candidates must stand as repre-
sentatives of all classes of people
rather than of any single class
however large it may be. 1t il
really q hopeful sign that Ameri.
can voters of both sexes stand sc
steadfastly for this wholesale prin
ciple in politics.

Public Invited to Take Part

There is a suspicion that the
four women members of the Ad-
visory Committee of the Disarma-
ment Conference have been MAX
ing their views felt regarding the
submarine question.
Some time ago, the committee
passed resolution to the effect
that it had found "public opinion
opposed to the abolition of sub
marines or to. the limitation of
their size in any drastic degree"
On second thought, the COM
mittee seems to have had some
doubts as to whether this resolu
tion was justified by the facts. AT
any rate, it has referred the mat.
ter to the Committee Oh Public
Opinion for the Advisory Com
mittee, New Navy Building No g.
Washington, with the request that
it ascertain what the people Of
America really do think of the pro-
posal that the use of submarines
be abolished or limited in war.

To Clean soiled Walls

If walls are painted, wiring a
cloth out of warm water. then
sprinkle it with common baking
soda. Wash cloth often, dipping
into the soda each time. The re-
suit will be very satisfactory. II
walls are papered, make stiff
dough of -four and water. Place
dough on a board and knead until
no longer sticky. Rub small
piece over the wall paper, small
space at time. This treatment
makes soiled paper look clean and

Women 8 Home Near Capitol

A sign of the new day that is
coming in is seen in the establish
ment Of the Grace Dodge Hotel for
women at Washington within a
stones throw of the national cap
itol.
It is sponsored by the Young
Women's Christian Association
and is not only managed by wo-
men but has complete force of
women attendants. There are a
number of mothers suites, each
fitted with a crib, an electric heat
er for the baby's milk, and other
conveniences for women who are
travelling with children. Nurses
may be hired; and there are even
rooms where one can go and wash
and iron blouses and lingerie.
The hotel accommodates four
hundred guests; and in the big
lounging room, q clerk is in con.
slant attendance who is able te
tell what man is speaking at tn.

Where Thought Should Begin

Where Thought Should Begin
How our ideaiism may come in
to conflict with cold. hard reality
is seen in the present strained rela-
tions between Spain and the nor
them countries of Norway and
Iceland.
One of the chief exports of
Spain is wine. That of Norway
and Iceland is fish. Moreover,
the latter countries have been one of
the best markets in the past for
Spanish wines, and Spain, in turn,
for the northern fish.
The trouble-is that Norway and
Iceland have both passed prohibi-
tion laws, thus putting an end to
the demand for wines; and now
Spain threatens to 1etaliate by
placing prohibitive tariff upon
tnelf nsD, thus closing the spanish
market to them.
It must not be forgotten that
the destruction of these markets
throws many people Of all three
countries out of work with power
ty and privation as a consequence.
Here is where idealists should
think hardest but rarely think at
all. The evil Of strong drink must
in this case be balanced against
that of increased unemployment
and want; and the real question is,
How can the people Of the North
abolish liquor without bringing
upon themselves or their Spanish
neighbors misery and suffering.

BY DEAL SNYDER

Miss Charlotte Boyle, swimmer,
took Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey as a
pupil and built her up into cham
pionship timber.
Now Miss Bleibtrey, just back IN
New York after a successful series
Of contests in Hawaii, has announc-
ed that she is going to try to wrest
away from her one-time instructor
the world record of 1 minute 40 As
seconds for the 15O-yard sprint that
Miss Boyle recently hung up.
Miss Boyle thus may be figura-
lively cutting her own throat.
But she knows, as all good sports
men know, that sports thrive only
on competition and that rivalry will
enable her to outdo her own former
efforts.
