AN "IF" FOR GIRLS

If you can dress to make yourself attractive,
Yet not make puffs and curls your chief delight;
If YOU can swim and row, be strong and active,
But of the gentler graces lose not sight;
If you can dance without craze for dancing,
Play without giving play too strong hold.
Enjoy the love of friends without romancing,
Care for the weak, the friendless and the old;
If YOU can master French and Greek and Latin,
And not acquire, as well, priggish mien;
If you can feel the touch of silk and satin
Without despisng calico and jean;
If you can ply saw and use hammer,
Can do a mans work when the need occurs,
Can sing, when asked, without excuse or stam-
mer,
Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slurs;
If you make good bread as well as Judges,
Can sew with skill and have an eye for dust;
If you can be friend and hold no srudges,
A girl whom all will love because they must;
If sometime you should meet and love another
And make home with faith and peace en-
shrined,
And you it's soul-a loyal wife and mother
You'll work out pretty nearly to my mind
The plan that's been developed through the
ages.
And win the best that life have in store.
You'll be- my girl, model for the sages-
A woman whom the world will bow before.
Elizabeth Lincoln Otis.

Members of the local high school faculty
doing their utmost to keep the commencement
activities inexpensive and of simplicity in keep
ing with the nature Of the occasion This is d
wholly commendable endeavor on their part and
one IN which they should be given the heartest
cooperation from every parent in the School Dis
trict. 1t is too much to be hoped that the young
people will take altogether kindly to this course,
but since the parents pay the bills it is altogether
IN keeping that these parents shall make the hna'
decisions. Many mothers and fathers have spoken
Iegretfully in the past of the rather eNtravagant
and ostentatous features which the students deem
a necessary part of high school graduation. Now
is the best time to prove that the regret is SINGER,
by voicing approval of the plans the Class Ad-
visers are making to simplify things. Wh'
knows! We may yet get this thing OIL the basis
where an evening gown is not considered neces-
sary accessory to high school diploma.

Would Simplify States

Samuel A. Carlson in The Forum
Our state government, which is close
~ allied with city government, should
be simplified. The governor should
be elected for long term. He should
be the only administrative official
elected by a statewide election, so that
public sentiment can crystalline on
state policies for which he stands.
He should be authorized to appoint
his own cabinet, consisting of depart
ment heads, experts and advisors.
This is the only way to secure re-
sponsible government.
There should be but one legislative
body, the senate.
It's members should be chosen part
ly from districts and partly from the
state at large.
Every voter should be permitted to
vote for one candidate from his own
district and one candidate from tine

his hands full salving the sores that are

All candidates for senator at large
receiving more than, say, 10000 votes,
should be entitled to seats in the sem
ate.
Under this plan there would be an
average of 100 senators, including
those elected my majority vote from
senatorial districts.
This method of election would give
both geographical and group repre-
sentation. 1t would give any group of
10000 or more voters from the state
as whole an opportunity to unite in
support of a strong candidate who
stands for some principle or policy,
conservative or progressive, which
they desire voiced in the law-making-
body.
This would tend to bring into the
senate our ablest and most scholarly
men. The candidate receiving the
highest vote should be the presiding
officer of the state and also function
as acknowledgements.
