CLUB WOMEN WILL GIVE
attention TO INDUSTRY
General Federation Letter Is Plea
That Members Take Stand
Against Tying Up Work.

Appeal to the women of America to
give attention to the nations indus
trial situation is made in a letter
sent out tc 10000 presidents of
women's clubs in the United States.
by Miss NJ. Lillian Williamson, chair
man of the industrial and business re-
lations committee of the General Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs.
While explaining that club women,
of whom about 100000 are members
of the organizations to which the let
ter was sent, have no intention of en-
teriHg into matters of dispute between
railroads or mines and their employees,
Miss Williamson declared they would
work or operation by the employees or
/ companies pending adjustment of
| their troubles.
"The point emphasized" she said,
! "is, no matter which side Is wrong or
no matter If both sides are to blame
! for the present critical industrial sit
, uation, neither side has the right to
penaliZe the general public by bring

Prevention of future strikes. Miss
: Williamson said, could best be obtain
ed by focusing public attention ION
! preventing the next strike" and in
ducing the men and companies to con-
tinue work while their difficulties were
/ in the process of adjustment. The lat

EDMONDS BILL PASSED.
House Measure Provides for Model
Marine Insurance.

BY vote of PAS to 81 the House
yesterday passed the Edmonds bill to
establish a model marine insurance
law in the District of Columbia.
Representative Edmonds claimed that
this will mean setting up new in

will afford employment to large
number of clerks, actuaries, Ste
nographers and bookkeepers.
Most of the marine insurance is
now carried in British companies and
the purpose of the Edmonds bill is
to build up an American industry,
which will keep the premiums paid

Too Much Care Cannot Be
Spent on Early Education

II is the early education In the
home and preparatory schools that
counts and fits a girl to profit by what
ever is to be her next step, whether
following some special line OF art or a
course in college TO prepare for some
professional career such as medicine,
law. literature. &c. But before even
considering n child's future the first
task is TO teach concentration and how

testify, the first two years in college
are wasted, and as the average par

career thoroughly handicapped. and
neither she nor the college is TO blame
for failure.

then the student has the intelligence
TO supply this deficiency by providing
herself with wholesome foods instead
of attempting to derive nourishment
from cakes and sweets, which, except
in the case of a morbid appetite, usu-
ally denotes a need for more nutri-
ment in the general diet.
If girl has not learned all these
things before entering college, will
she learn them before she leaves?
One doubts 1t. for. alas! the science of
proper eating has not become a ma
tional virtue, as the medical records
proved in the draft for the late war,
when the number of detectives was
appalling. In studying tEem one can
not help dreaming OF the day when
women are awakened to their mission
and the fact that, like the engineers
who consider no detail too trivial in
providing the best possible fuel to run
the engines for some of the worlds
largest plants. so the women will
realize that theirs is the task to in
telligently provide the fuel to get the
best out of the human machine; that,

after the freedom of college life, and
the girl frets under too tight q rein, or
the inactivity required in living In the
average home. And so, while the
parent is grieved over a lack of gra-
ciousness and the pretty things in her
daughters character, that daugh-
ter too is bitterly disappointed because
that parent Is not farseeing enough to
allow her just one year to try her
theories, to have her fling. And after
all. that fling is really very idealistic
and fine be it said in justice to the
broad side OF a college education, but
suppress and thwart it, and the unwise
elders have forced that fling" into
something that is very unlovely some-
times and then they blame the college.
To make our daughters career in
college a success therefore depends
entirely upon the wise cooperation of
the parents and of the teachers
through ell the grades of preparatory
school and finally OF the college fac
ulty The latter will appreciate that
the criticism is not unkindly meant
but more of constructive nature
when the suggestion is made that the
curriculum should embrace moreN OF
domestic science and hygiene. and
that gracious acts of social inter-
course and good form should have
their place beside the "book learning"
our girls acquire.

Whatever method of discipline NAV

vent.
The inward disposition must be

SO many young people load their

while all they need is a clear con-
science, an honest puprose, a rever-
ence for things that are noble and

Our homes and our schools do not
function as they should on ideas of

to like work of some kind. AS It is

College Not for Every Girl,
Marriage Oft Is Logical

And so we come back to discrimina-
ton. College is not for every girl.
1t depends on what 1 wish to make
of her. or, rather. what she has al
ready shown is to be her logical call
ing. How few parents or guardians
consider what it is that appeals to the
child herself. How few notice that
early in life a girl begins to form
ideals and dream of what she is going
to be when she grows up. Yet it is
this early ideal, this dream which, per-
mitted to come to fruition, might as
sure her a complete success. and,
thwarted or suppressed by pareuts
who want their child to take a ire
conceived form, they cannot fail TO
cause her much unnecessary suffering.
What right. after all, has parent
to take this arbitrary stand, that a
daughter is either to go to college or
not to go as his pleasure dictates,
The average father to-day an
nounces that of course his girls are
going to college, and all the prepara-
tons are made in the family with rhis
end in view. The masculine mind has
grasped the fact that the narrow
ness of living in the sheltered ssclu-
sion of the home must be counter
acted by the experience of living for
a time in a group joined by common
interests, but bound by no special re-
lationship. and if a girl has the mis-
fortune to be an only child or to have
more money than the other girls her
father appreciates the invaluable les-
son taught by this freemasonry of
being one of what might be called a
large family, where it is question
of give and take, and where even in
the question of her very room the
girl must draw lots and abide by
what she gets.
And so the girls as we'll as the boys
of the family are sent Off TO college,
while their parents sit back expecting
that at the end of four years they
are going to be repaid for all the sac
rifices they may have made, by hav-
ing returned to them paragons OF per-
lection.
A college is not species of mill
through which is ground and turned
out a human being in whom has been
corrected all the mistakes OF early
training or heredity. In the first
place. should that particular child
have gone to college who wanted to
play the violin? No. she has been re-
tarded exactly from four to six years
in her work, and comes out OF col
lege discouraged and unfit for mu-
steal career, or in fact for any other
branch of art. having lost the most
important years for acquiring tech
nique. which are aided by the vlgor
and endurance OF early youth. The
girl who is gifted in this way should
be blessed with wise parents who have
the mental elasticity not to follow The
prescribed rules for education, but who
plan hours and type of study that viii
fit in with the necessary time TO be
devoted each day to that particular art
in which she is destined TO excel
