Leaders in Ireland
Reach Agreement
to Hold Election
Minor Points Of Difference
Waived-Terms Follow Pro.
posals Put Forth by
Harry Boland.

Dublin, May 2i.-An agreement
making possible the holding OF Irish
elections in June and the formation
OF coalition cabinet was reached by
the leaders OF the two political fac.
tions in southern ireland and un.
snimously approved by their respec.
tive followers in the Dali Eireann.
The minof points OF divergence
concerning the proportion OF repre-.
sentation in the ministry were waiv.
ed by the agreement and the ques-
ton as to the issues to be decided by
June elections was ignored. In the
pc.election campaign, those in favor
Of the Anglo-Irish treaty establish.
ing the free state, will be free to say
that the election will be on ratifica-
tion OF the treaty and those opposed
to that treaty may deny that propo-
sition.
The actual terms Of the agree
ment correspond closely with those
put forward by Harry c. Boland, for
some time representative OF De
Valera in the United States, who rep
resented the republican section of the
peace committee appointed a few
days ago by the dali.
There will be a coalition panel
presented to the electors. 1t will
contain the names OF candidates rep,
resenting both sides at their present
strength in the dali and will be
recommended to the electors as the
ticket Of the Sim Fein chiefs of the
army, now occupying the four courts
building joining in what would be
called the official troops of ireland.
Public sentiment is concerned in such
an arrangement mainly because OF
the hope that it would result in put
ting down disorders.

Woman Appears a. Lawyer.
A woman appeared as an attorney
for the first time in the history OF
German criminal courts a few days
ago when Fraulein DR.. Monk of Ber-
lin acted as defending counsel for a
man accused of a street robbery. She
created a favorable impression.
The incident wac the object OF
comment and il has been
that this may lead to the
of tailors specializing
N the attire of feminine lawyers. In
'ome quarters the view is held that
he presence of women attorneys may
.xert a moderating influence in

rom opposing counsel, although

nay be intensified il both opposing
attorneys are women. G

RESTRICTIONS ON CHANGE
TEXT ROCKS


Huntingt 4, N. VAIN response
a numbef Of requests which she
mas receive from West Virginia wo-
hen eoncet Aang the powers Of the
state board Of education to change
textbooks in the schools OF the State.
Mrs. Ellis A. Yost, a member Of the
board, has written a letter to the wo-
mens's. clubs from which these in
auiries have come, n which she points
put the restrictions the legislature
has placed around the change in
text books.
For many months Mrs. Yost
writes, letters have come to me from
members OF your club seeking in
foi nation in regard to the manner in
when textbooks for the West Vir-
GINA schools are chosen.
The State Legislature has shown
Isndency to recognize more and more
local initiative and authority and has
therefore provided that all text books
shall be selected by local Boards of
Education in towns and cities having
population of $500 or more, and for
hi high schools regardless of their
Size. To the STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION is given the duty of
selecting uniform text books for the
schools in rural communities and
towns less than $500.
Under the present statute, the
Estate Board of Education cannot
change in any five year period more
than thirty per cent of ten subjects
Required to be taught and it requires
the affirmative votes of five members
of the Board to make anychange.
Wherefore all the books could not be
clknged in less than period Of
twenty years, period greater than
the school life of any cLsld; and
Boards have not always made even
the number or changes permitted by
law, as for instance in the most re-
cent adoption, the Board only chang
ed twenty per cent.
1t cannot be denied that changes
become necessary and it is the duty
of the State Board to keep step with
sNhe rapid development in methods of
aentire world. Unless changes are
made to meet those changed conditions
school authorities would be remiss in
in their responsibility to the youth
Of our state who are the men and wo-
men of tomorrow.
West Virginia has one Of the most
conservative laws relating to text
books of any state in the Unoin in
! that it limits the number of books
/ that can be changed and the fire.
quency with which the changes can be
m2de. AS to the prices of the books,
ltvshould be clearly Understood that
the State Board in authorized to COM
pei any book publisher, under penalty
of cancellation of contract, to sell
books to this state as cheap as to any
ether state. Fortunately for our
state, the books, on account of con-
tracts name five years ago, were
furnished during the war period at
comparatively very low prices with
actual heavy losses to the publishers.
I feel sure the women OF. tn state,
who are so encouragingly active in
educational affairs, desire to do con-
structive work and when they know
the facts will not be influenced by
Statements actuated by Interior mo-
tives.
