nal in their sequence: Charles
A. Selden writes of Educating Hit
crate America" We can accomplish
this in ten years if we put our heads
and hearts into it. Justifiable con-
demnation of public school defects
has been having its innings since the
conditions during and after the world
war demonstrated that the United
States was not an educated nation;
1t is in fact but SO per cent. educated.
Teachers associations and national
school conventions are among the
country's educational blessings. The
value of the Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation should also be mentioned.
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, president of
the Woman's Party. writes of
Women as Dictators." The end Of
the dictatorship by men alone is at
an end. Women know that they can
manage and reconstruct-men know
1t too. The day is not far distant
when the Woman's Party will be
strong enough to impose any meas
ure it may choose. The world muddle
has been created by men. by ex-
cluding women men have interfered
for too long with the development,
interests and intelligence of hu-
manity." Men are beginning to fear
women. Sex discrimination must be
done away. whether in the church or
in politics, in the professions and in
the business and laboring worlds.
Clifford Pinchot gives the mans
view of the subject in '"rhe Influence
of Woman in Politics" Women have
a part in political affairs, not mere
influence upon them. One fact is
established, that women play a clean
game in politics. The foundation of
health and efficiency in human affairs
is honesty and courage, and these
are the qualities which women have
brought into American public life.
Mr.. Pinchot has studied the progress
of women in politics at close range,
ard his article has, particular sig
nificance and value. A strictly fem
mime article is Lady Astor's THE
False Gods OF Fashions" A little
sermon to girls may be found in Lady
Astor's appeal to take more thought
about the kind of clothes worn and
a little less thought about changing
them so often. Our men folk don't
like us better for taking our fashions
from manikins who are but animated
display. Racks we need to cultivate
our intelligence about clothes. Three
gowns are pictured, one being the
House of Commons frock that Lady
Astor has chosen as suited to a hard
working M. p. The two editorials
are Barton w. Currie's Wine Soaked
Europe and Dry America" and "A
World League of Women Can Pre-
vent Wars" by Freemand Tilden
