Mr.. Il. E.. Harper, York county
farmer, has been reading The Yorkyille
Enquirer continuously since the first
issue of that paper in January 1855.
Before that he had been for two years
subscriber to the Yorkville Miscel-
lany, published by Capt. L. M. Grist
and changed by Capt. Grist to the
Yorkville Enquirer. This is a remark
able record and there are few news
papers in, this part Of the country
which can duplicate 1t. We have no
doubt that Mr.. Harper would testlfy
that in all the siXty-seven years he has
read The Enquirer there has not been
a year when he did not get his money 8
worth many times over. NO other
country paper in the South has main
tained such a consistently high stand
ard, and we believe that this statement
could be broadened TO take in the en-
tire country. Anyone who will examine
the files of The Enquirer back in the
fifties will be amazed to find the sort OF
newspaper 1t then was. The material
which it has printed through the years
is simply invaluable and we doubt II
another newspaper could be named
which year in and year out has so ade-
quately covered its field!

NNItSCkI NFEES = ISu1ff0HIt'I
The Yorkville SEnquirer has dis
covered that a citizen of York county
has been subscribing to that news
paper since 1853. That Is probably
the present record for the United
States, If not for the world. A constant
subscriber for SO years is as rare. as a
blue rose. When that now venera bic
man began reading The Enquirer,
Franklin Pierce was President OF the
United States, John Laurens Manning
was governor of South Carolina and
the War Between, the States was
years ahead. When to this Is added
the further remarkable, fact that the
newspaper is published now by mem
bers Of the family which issued 1t then,
the record is even more extraordinary.

Worse Home Cooking in the World
BY Frederic j. Haskin.
Washington. d. C.-That the task
Of being d wife and mother should be
numbered among the learned profess
sions and taught in the high schools
and colleges is an idea that seems to
be steadily gaining ground.
It got another recommendation the
other day when. DR.. Simon Katzoff, a
well-known psycho-analyst, told the
Bridgeport board of education that II
should Immediately establish high
school classes for the purpose Of train
ir.g girls in the difficult buoiness of
being wives. He said that American
girls get no training ct home in this
line, and that therefore the. schools
must give 1t. He placed all the blame
for the divorce and the general failure
Of marriage on the ignorance of
American girls.
Apparently DR.. Katzoff was con-
cerned chiefly with the girls position
as wife rather than as mother, and his
criticism of the American wife con-
tanned nothing new. He simply hint
ed what every international observer
has stated, that the American woman
10 tyrant in her home, and the Amer
lean man the most petticoat-domin-
ated man on earth. In the typical
.
American household, the husband is
deprived of large part Of his person
al liberty in the matter OF his asso-
Citations, engagements and habits.
His wife's wishes are presented to him,
not in the form of requests, but of de-
mands. Yet the average American
male accepts this situation philoso-
phically. For one thing, he has been
trained to feminine domination from
early childhood, for the American
youth Is ruled by his mother far more
than by his father, and he Is common
ly enslaved by his elder sisters as
we'll. 1t seems quite natural to him
to have his wife take a similar atti-
tude of ownership.
In some cases doubtless he is gen.
orally shocked by the way a German
or a Frenchman treats his wife. while
the Oriental attitude of regarding her
frankly as an inferior seems horrible
to him

Woman's Opportunity.

Woman's opportunity.
Doubtless the American attitude Is
in many ways admirable. 1t gives the
woman an unusual opportunity to real
lie herself as an individual and develop
any abilities she may have. For wo-
man Of good character and intelli-
gence 1t is an excellent system, But
the flaw in, 1t is that the American
tradition does not demand enough OF
the woman to justify the large amount
Of fteedom she is given. ..s
The American girl today, stepping
out of high school or college, faces a
wealth of opportunity, such as women
have never enjoyed before in any age
or country. 1t is true that she has
certain legal disabilities, and that she
is apt to be. paid less for the same
work than man. But her sisters are
organized to remove those legal dis
abilities and her situation in all sorts
of work is steadily improving, while
there are few things in life from which
as much education as any man.
Science and medicine both offer her
opportunities OF which many women
have already availed themselves. In
Journalism, literature and the other
arts she already enjoys almost as much
success and influence as men. Bust
ness opportunities are open to her on
every hand. She has almost as much
social freedom as a man. She can and
does travel and go about alone, and
choose her own associations. The
chaperon and the escort play just
about as large a part in her life as she
wishes them to play, and no larger.
This creates an ideal situation for
| the woman of brains and energy, who
wants to enter a profession or business
who has a definite craving for inde-
pendence and self development. There
are many thousands of women in
America who have availed themselves
of their unusual opportunities to the
! full, and who present to the world q
/
heartening spectacle OF FEMININE
achievement and independence. But
the great majority of women do not
strongly crave achievement and inde-
pendence, nor have they any consider
able capacity for it. They probably
do not differ in this respect from the
great majority Of men. But the man
Is subject to a different tradition
Even though he has 10 strong Original
bent, custom ordains that he must
train himself for some kind of work
that he must get a job and make 9
living. Custom demands no such thing
of the woman. If she does not fee
any interest in learning and working
she can stay at home and be lady
She can "go into society" And ulti'
mately, of course, she can marry.
Only Wives Unframed.
Now the strange part of 1t is tina
this marriage is a business which /:
supposed to require 10 training what
ever. The woman who wants to be ;
doctor must study hard for four years
She who succeeds in writing Otter
serves a hard apprenticeship for long
er than that. Business, science, nurs
ing. welfare work-all of the lines int
which women go-require hard AM
definite training. But she to who's
mercies the destinies of one man ant
three or four children are to be truste,
requires no training whatever, accord

anti-slang campaign:
May ., 1922.
ITO the English Club of Watervillc
High School:
THE campaign which you are con-
Quoting in tie Watervilc High school
against the use of slang is one in
which | take an active interest. The
use of slang is becoming 50 prevalent
that some of our young people and,
unfortunately, some of the grown-ups,
seem unable to carry on conversation
should be maintained in its purity and
adequate words can always be found
to properly express ones thoughts
without the use Of slang.
ITO my mind there is no more i'm
portant branch of study than that OF
the correct use Of English, and / wish
you success in your campaign to drive
slang out of the halls of our public
schools. I the children will take up
this good cause they will set a SPLEEN
did example to the grown-ups.
Il hope you and all your associates
are we'll, and with personal regards, i
