SHOULD A WOMAN PAY?

ant women usually have to be self
reliant fight alone, work alone walk
alont, live alone, and eventually even
play alone, while some tiny, slim,
satin-skinned girl, with huge eyes,
and a cunning lisp, is surrounded by
men ANXIOUS to obey her slightest
whim-actually begging to be per
mite to protect her from the cold
heartless world? AS a matter of
fact, those are the very girls who
need no protection-they always take
care of themselves. The more alb
solutely feminine" woman is, the
more determined she is that some
man shall take care of her-and she
is the little CRATER who gets the
best of this worlds goods. The real
ly frail woman is the sturdy, square
and sportsmanlike one, who scorns
to take advantage of a man because
he loves her or is married to her
the women who are too decent ia
stick up for their rights Oh no
men don't know a lot about woman's
nature, and sad and disheartening
though it may be, I've come to the
conclusion that men don't especially
admire independence in women.
It's the nature Of man to dictate
and be foremost. They'd rather dc
without lunch all week long thar
have the girl. They take out fol
dinner pay her own checker re
fuse to allow him to buy her flowers
That's that-and human nature be
ing what it is-you can't expect Il
change it.
I'm not advocating that woemn BIZ
parasites or gold-diggers in the
slightest degree. Independence is Z
most admirable quality-but it car
be carried too far.

Dear Miss Flo:- Don't you think
a woman, with any sense of econOm-
is independence, should pay her own
she knows is not earning as much, as
she? All the girls are laughing at
me because | insist upon paying my
own way with such men. They say
men inevitably think less of a girl
who accepts their companionship on
that basis. On principle, I'd feel like
a gold digger if l permitted man in
that class to spend money on me.
Of course, the boys all object to
my independents, and invariably we
quarrel about it, but l simply can't
stand the idea Of being under Obliga-
ton to anybody. I want to be in
dependent and take care of myself.
Dora.
Far be it from me to say whether
or not you are right in carrying
your spirit of independence so far.
While personally, I'd like to see the
idea pOpularized-I have my doubts
if it ever can be done.
You see, in theory. men really do
admire that extremely rare feminine
neutrality-suspicious.. They like to de
clare their principles that a woman
should stand shoulder to shoulder
with a man, and not hang like mill
stone around his neck. They sincere
~ believe they have more respect fol
the woman who earns her own way
and insists upon earning it, if neces-
sary, even after marriage. They
have no use, in theory, for the cling
ing-vine type. They admire the
sturdy, self-relient, self-suficient, in
dependent women like you. BUT
have you ever noticed those self-reli-

Certified Potatoes
A number of potato growers in
the county have secured certified

Present Day College Teachers Can't
Teach

Frank Ellsworth Spaulding, Head
of the Education Department, Yale
Graduate School, says in The Forum
that present-day teachers are infer
, ior to those of forty years ago. The
great teachers of a generation ago
have passed not merely as indivi-
duals, subject to the memorable laws
of nature, but as a type.
In four decades the number of
| college students has increased more
than tenfold: faculty membership
has increased in even greater ratio;
but the number of great college
teachers has dwindled to a fraction
of it's former proportions. Why?
Simply from lack of demand. Start
ling, and quite possibly absurd, as
this simple statement sounds, 1t is
literally true.
The young college instructor start
ing out on his career in 1925 can
not, indeed! afford to be a failure
as a teacher; but it is equally true
that he cannot professionally afford
to take steps and the attitude that
will make him great teacher of
college youth. Like his students,
he must do we'll enough to "get by;
but, also like many of his students,
the instructor of to-day believes that
advancement in his career will not
depend primarily upon distinguished
success in those things for which
some people rather innocently sup
pose that colleges are maintained.
That he is right is demonstrated

CITY GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZES EXTENSION
OF SIREN TRAFFIC ALARM SYSTEM TO
PROTECT BUSINESS SECTION ON C0NY ST.

An addition to the special alarm
system, which is to be installed in
order that people on Water street
and adjoining busy thoroughtares
may know Wnen the ire truck is
leaving the hartford fire station, and
which was described in a recent is
sue of the kennebec Journal. may
be made through action taken by the
City Government at the regular
/ meeting held Monday night at City
Hall.
A motion was introduced author
igzing the purchase of the three
sirens as provided in the plan al
reaoy worked out and making pro-
vision for the purchase of a fourth
to be placed on the east side of the
river near City Hall if it is found
advisable. This motion was passed
alter the committee on fire depart
ment to which the matter was origin
ally referred had reported that four
sirens should be located on Water
and Cony streets in the locations
previously mentioned namely near
the fire station, at Market Square. at
Bridge street and at City Hall. This
report was not accepted as it was
felt that three sirens might and
probably would he sufficient. but the
order passed Immediately afterward
so phrased that the fourth may be
added if necessary.
The city government also authoriz-
ed the city treasurer to pay the
American Gas Accumulation Co. for
ten traffic beacons, which We're
placed at various corners on trial by
that company. These beacons cost
$3.50 and the company allows GER
tain amount on two beacons which
are owned by the city and which are
to be turned in as part of the trade.
Roll of accounts No. 8. in the sum
of SAT ,S47.05 was read and passed.
This includes the sum of SIG, 1898
for highways, much of which is due
10 the work of removing the heavy
snow fall from the streets and roads
in the city limits. The school de-
partment is also charged with $15,-
SPOOL this month, which although
more than for the same month last
year is due probably to the prompt
ness of the debtors rather than to
any increase in the actual costs of
running the schools.
Committee Reports
Other reports of committees ac-
cepted and passed were:
The committee on Fire Department
reported on an order providing for
the installation of hydrant on
Howard street near the Charles o.
Conner junk shop, that it ought to
pass.
The committee on Traffic reported
Ought to pass on an order provid-
ing for the installation of a gasoline

From indianapolis Mr.. White
heard of the rural cure in Vermont
where a clergyman was needed and
he and his wife sought the oppoftun-
ity for hard and useful work. To the

brighten the lives of the people, such

In the work as he.
When Calvin Coolidge became
president and tourists f1ocked to
view his boyhood home, the Ply
mouth meeting house saw congrega :
tons of a new order. The little
church, which formerly held scat
tered few, often was filed. On one
occasion Mr.. White tells. it was nee
essart to repeat the service.
The bishop of Vermont had ac-
companied the pastor on his rounds
that day. Just as the service ended
a large party arrived in automobiles.
They explained that they were tour
lists from Michigan and wished to
attend church service at the presi-
dents birthplace. So there was q
second service, the bishop officiating
this time.
Before the serious illness of. Col
onel Coolidge Mr.. White some times
held his Sunday afternoon service
out of doors, preaching from the
steps of the meeting house. But the
practice was abandoned when the
road in front of the Coolidge home
was closed to traffic.

Locke explained that if the matter
were to be put into a school district
it would be necessary to await favor
able action by the next Legislature
and then by the citizens at referen-
dunn election.
He suggested adding two or three
mills to the tax rate for three or four
years, which would provide sufficient
funds to finance and fully pay for
the building.
Suggest Loan Association
Thomas c. Ingraham injected a
proposal which was most favorably
received, when he declared it as his
belief that a group of public spirited
citizens could be found who would
be willing to advance the money for
immediate construction, the city to
pay annual rental and principal until
the loan was paid off and the city
, owned the building, in about ten
years time.
1t was on this latter proposal that
| the meeting voted to request the
Board of Education to seek additional
! information with a view to reporting
at the annual school meeting next
! month.
The meeting of last evening was
called to order by Mrs. Grace Frost
president of the Cony High School
