LAF0LLETTE CANDIDATE?
Safe To Assume He Will Be, Always
 Hna RAen. SRHn Sam Rlxtha


 Without having any specific knowl- edge on the subject, 1t Is fair enough to assume that Senator LaFollette will be a candidate for President in 1924. He always has been; why not now3 The habits of a political life time do not easily change.
 And the dangers Gf his candidacy, as a republican, have been written off by the leaders of the party. They know what to expect. Senator LaFol- lette was against President Harding. Naturally, he will be against Presi- dent Coolidge. He didn't get along with President Roosevelt and he couldn't abide President Taft. Really, about the only person with whom Senator LaFollette Is on terms of agreement Is himself.
 It is likely that LaFollette will have some delegates in the republican convention next year. He Is sure to have Wisconsin, and may pick up some elsewhere;s probably will. II doesn't seem likely that he will get enough. And that of course, will leave him with sufficient grievance to engineer 6 third party movement If he feels so inclined and if tho thing looks propitious.
 This isn't saying the senator will engineer a third party movement with himself or any other as a can didate. He has continued, in tho of ficial listings of the Senate, since 1905 when he came to that body as re- [ publican. He is so marked today

 we are waiting for the cookies to bake" Raggedy Ann said.
 Presently the cookies were done and Raggedy Andy took them from the oven. "I guess we won't wait to put the candy icing on the cook ies," little Weekly said as he winked at the Raggedys.
 Because why? Because Mister Hooky Goblin Is sitting In the candy icing and by this time he has stuck fast to the table as you see. We have the nice cookies and we have also escaped from Hooky" And Raggedy Ann left six cookies with Hooky for no one knew when he would get away from the sticky candy icing.

EASIEST WAY TO KEEP

"Take away those rosy lips, Rich with balmy treasure; Turn away those eyes of love Lest I die of pleasure"
 r-Burns.

The impression you make on other people depends, more on your com plexion than clothes, boise, manner, education and many other things. Most faults are easily overcome by a sweet, rosy and clear skin.
 After trying many beauty special ists and skin treatments to get rid of that rough, muddy" appearance of her face, without getting any ben eft, lady we'll known here said: q wish had known about this Black and White Cleansing Cream before started experimenting with the expen- sive treatments of Specialists as they call themselves. Why! It surprised me beyond words the way it cleared away that greasy, sticky feeling and dingy look.
 And I have since found that by using the Peroxide Cream first in the morning before I put on my Incense of Flowers Face Powder it keeps my face looking right most all day. wouldn't use anything else now"
 Your enthusiasm about these widely used beauty creations, which bear the well-known Black and White label will be just as great after you once become charmed by their fine texture, excellence, dainty perfume and popu- lar low prices. All dealers have them in liberal packages.

Mister Weekly" Raggedy Ann said as she rolled up her sleeves and reached for rolling pin. T will roll out the cookie dough, Raggedy Andy can cut out the cookies and Mister Weekly you can put the icing on them when they have baked"
 So. while Raggedy Ann rolled out the dough. Raggedy Andy cut out the cookies in pretty shapes. Stars hearts and lots of other designs.
 Then Raggedy Andy carried the pans to the oven and put them in. Then as there was nothing to do until the cookies were baked our friends sat down to rest. And 1t was while they were doing this that Hooky. the Goblin, came bouncing in.
 Now I have you!" he cried, "and you shall not escape from me this time as you did the last time, for shall not sit down on any ice and have my clothes freeze to it."
 How did you ever get loose from the ice, MT Hooky Goblin" Rag gedy Andy asked.

.THE CHILDREN % WOMANS SPHERE
CASTE RULES SCHOOLS
"UntouchabIe" Children Cannot Min
 gle With Their s.Reftersv


 gle With Their "Betters"
 The public school as we know 1t is hardly a possibility in India, because the children of India are not per mitted to enjoy anything that re- motely resembles free association
 There are a great many such schools, to be sure; but the children who attend them are either caste equals or they are held to the strict observance of caste regulations.
 The children of the depressed classes are not allowed to enter any where, and I myself have seen num- bers of them in groups-eager, in telligent and sadly conscious of their disabilities-squatting on school house Verandas absorbing such in- struction .as they could get through open windows and schoolroom doors None could by any chance cross a schoolroom threshold.
 Yet in one way, and as far as the advantages go, the depressed classes enjoy better educational advantages than any class in India, because it is to them that the Christian mis- sionaries devote their particular at tention.
 It Is to be understood, of course, that the communities and castes are all mixed up in the general popula-

f ton, and are not, except in occa- sional instances, domiciled en masse in separate areas. A Hindu and Mohammedan may live In adjoining houses; but it is just that they may not borrow each others frying pans, so to speak.
 The castes and communities may all enjoy certain measure of social intercourse; they may meet. together and talk and argue and damn the British Raj in unison If they are so minded-and this Is what they have been doing to an increasing extent during the past few years-but IL must all be in the open or in places of public assembly.

occasion must be the personnel of the society. These women, to para phrase a famous definition, are not beautiful. Intellectual highbrows beat ing with luminous wings the void. They are women who lead in literary, civic, philanthropic and social work in America. Among Phi Beta Kappa women are Ida Tarbell, Florence B Allen, the first women judge to sit in a supreme court; Mrs. Vladimir Sink hovitch, leader in settlement house work; Mrs. Florence Kelley. secretary of the national consumers league; Dorothy Garfield Fisher, the novelist; Katherine Fullerton Gerould, brilliant essayist and short story writer; Amy Lowell, President Ellen Pendleton of Wellesley. President Marion E Park of Bryn Mawr, Pres ident Mary Woolley of Mount Hol- yoke, President Ada Comstock of Radcliffe. Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard.
 Phi Beta Kappa alumnae in New York represent nearly all the more important colleges and universities where women study-and represent the highly definite and useful achievements of the trained feminine intelligence. It is intelligence, more over, which is far from shirking the simple, vital duties of wifehood and motherhood-even if the college woman rightly prefers quality to quantity in children.
 And so years ago the pioneer col lege girl, Lucy Stone, could find only one lege-Oberlin-in the whole country which would even admit her!

THE AMERICAN GIRL-AGAIN


 To think about her to talk about her. to try to understand her-surely that is the woman of 1t. To look at the American girl. with the level yet sympathetic eyes, is one of the things this column wants to do. We asked the brilliant English novelist and student of feminine psychology, Pnyllts Bottome, to hold the mirror up, and she reported that the Ameri- can gir! is innocent. inscrutable and Wise;" that "she succeeds as she charms and she charms very readi ly;'' that a roreigner is most impress cd by ''her delicate, deliberate ef- ficiency."
 Today's consultant on girlhood is Ethel M. Kelley, the American wom- an whose increasingly excellent work in fiction reaches it's highest pitch in her recently published novel, Hearts Blood" In this book and in it's immediate predecessor, Beauty and Mary Blair" Miss Kelley looks into a girls heart and writes with humor and tenderness and truth.
 What do you think of Phyllis Bot tome's American girl?" we asked. And how do you yourself see today daughter?'
 T am delighted" her letter to the woman of 1t begins, ito have the op- portunity of saying thank you to Miss Phyllis Bottome for her dis eliminating tribute to the American girl not only because what she had V to say was so well and wisely said. but because courteous English guest picking so careful a way among our national perplexities Is touching noveltyi
 The present development of our young women Is one of our perpleX- tiles, and Miss sBottome has defined it perfectly. 'Girlhood in this country s., state in the passing of time, It IS definite career That is putting the finger on the problem, for although congenitally disinclined to regard any phase of human development as a problem I am constrained to say like the lady with the Airedale pup py: T don't know anything at all about them, but I admit that this IS one.'
 For girlhood shouldn't be a defi- nite career. It should be prepara- ton for life, just as it always mas been.

 Little Weekly and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy walked through the round door and came to large trays of cake dough and cookie dough and bread dough and dough- nut dough and all kinds of other goody doughs.
 But they could discover no cookies already cooked although there was a lot of candy icing to cover the cak es and cookies with, just as soon as any were baked.

The School Board is to
Blame for Its Difficulties.

One cannot help but feel that the
Lancaster school board, capable as 1t
is, is to blame for the failure to carry
out its own program.
Our board is Jealous and unselll6h
iii its attitude. The members have
given a great deal Of personal time to
school problems without recompense.
The board has done its best. we think,
to solve the problem Of school needs
and to prepare for the future.
But the board has not been frank.
Our school board has proceeded on
the autocratic principle Of: What
they don't know don't hurt them.
The board has been honest in this but
it has distrusted the willingness OF
the people to do the right thing when
IT, matter was put up to them fairly
and squareIy. AS a result the people
were left in the dark in regard to the
working out of the new school plan
When the board sprung its program
the people "smelled a rat" that didn't
exist.
School procedure should be pub
Iished in full AS far as this paper IS
concerned, gladly as news and with

know every step and by discussion

Should Manual Training
Be Temporarily Abandoned.

The writer does not profess to
know much Of educational methods.
We propose to know more. When we
say things founded upon surmise we
expect to be set right, if we are
wrong. We intend to say them in or
der to find out.
1t seems to us that under present
methods our district would do well to
temporarily, if not permanently,
abandon manual training. 1t strikes
us that the course is a technique in
the use OF machines rather than an
instruction in handcraft.
The teacher takes course in an in
stitute where he is taught to use ma
chimes. He teaches the boys to rip,
saw and plane by use of machinery
The district has provided this expen-
sive outfit Later, has the pupil the
use OF machines or must he rely upon
handcraft when he sets about to build
something in his Office or on his
farm?
The course strikes us as theoretl-
cal rather than practical. We do not
believe the boys are being taught the
use of their lands. If they are not
the course is expensive and futile.
We understand that the board,
pressed for room, is considering the
temporary abandonment of this
course We think it could be done.
There are Other things to learn
about the schools than this Do not
imagine we can rely upon what we
observed about methods 20 to 40 years
ago We elders should go to school
again, learn something Of educational
