AdUunCe OF
Employed
Women, Aim

To stimulate the organization OF
additionaDb business and professional
women's groups in Europe, the In
ternational Federation of Business
and Professional Women will open
European headquarters in Geneva
on Nov. l, Miss Iona Madesin Phil
lips of New York City, international
president, announced today.
Miss Dorothy Heneker OF Mon
treal. who has served as recording
secretary and membership chairman
since the federation was formed in
August, 1880, in Geneva, will be in
charge, and sailed from Montreal
on the Athena, Friday, to assume
her new duties. Establishment of
the Office in Europe is made neceS-
sary by the increasing scope Of the
federation program.
Organized with but five member
countries-the United States, Can
ada, Italy, Austria and France-this
newcomer into the field of interna-
tional organizations already has
branches in England, Holland, Bel
GUM, Switzerland, Czecho-Slovakia,
Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Finland
and Poland.
Survey to Be Made
Miss Heneker's presence in Europe
is expected to stimulate the growth
of these organizations as well as to
give impetus to various important
projects which are under way.
The latter includes a survey to
determine existent determinations
against women in all member coun-
tries, and an active effort to pro-
mote international markets for
women's handicraft and manUfac-
lures.
Last year Miss Heneker spent two
months in Europe, visiting England,
Scandinavia and the Central Euro
pean countries, and this winter she
probably will extend her efforts to
the Balkans, Turkey and Greece.
A good will tour of American bust
ness and professional women under
the leadership of Miss Phillips,
president Of the international Fed
Grafton, visited Yuko-S lavia, Bull
garia, Rumania, Greece and Tur-
key during the summer, contracting
career women of those countries,
who gave assurance of their deep
interest in the federation and their
desire to become affiliated with it.
Peace Aid Pledged
Geneva has been chosen as fed
Grafton headquarters because of its
central location and also because
of the contact it affords with other
international organizations. The
international federation is interested
deeply in world peace and many of
its branches will secure signatures
for the petition seeking drastic re-
auctions in armament which is to
be sent to the world disarmament
conference in Geneva in February.
Miss Heneker will serve as assistant
secretary of the liaison committee of
Women's International Organiza-
lions which is securing these sigma
lures.
A lawyer by profession, Miss Hen
eker has been associated with her
fathers law firm, in Montreal. She
is co-author of a history of the
bench and bar of Quebec and has
written and lectured widely on the
seignorial regime in Canada and
kindred historical topics.
She belongs to a distinguished
Canadian family, her grandparents
having been the late Sir John and
Lady Abbott of Montreal and the
late Chancellor and Mrs. Richard
w. Heneker of ~Sherbrooke.

The Life of the Sailor

News that the BrltlSh navy recently was 1OrCeO tO al
rest 80 seamen from His Majesty's ship Lucia fnr mu-
tinous disturbances, is interesting chiefly because 1t
reminds one of the fact that real naval mutinies have
been extreme rarities for a good many years now.
Of course, there was the German high seas fleets mu-
tiny toward the end of the World war; but that was
part of a general national overturn, and does not count.
The point is that the navy jack does not mutlny any
more for the simple reason that he no longer has any
reason to. In a great many cases he is far better off
afloat than he would be on shore.
This recent British outbreak, for instance-how Mel
sons sailors would have snorted at it! 1t came because
the Lucia. being obliged to join the Atlantic fleet sud-
denly for maneuvers, had to cancel the usual weekend
leaves. Compelled to stay aboard over Sunday, His
Majestys tars spoke up in meeting. and were cast into
brig-and the thing got into the newspapers as a
mutiny!
Some day, if you are curious about such things, get
some old naval history and read about the great Spit
head mutiny in the British fleet during the Napoleonic
wars. Study the things that led up to it, and you will
understand that mankinds customs do improve as time
goes by, in spite of the pessimists.
What was the sailor up against in Nelson's day? TO
begin with, he was apt to be a civilian-a mason or a
dock worker or a weaver, who happened to be on the
streets when the press gang came by and who had been
logged off, Wily-nily, to serve for an indefinite period
as a sailor. His quarters on the ship were in the last
degree uncomfortable-cold wet, bare and cherries.
His food was atrocious and generally insufficient. His
pay was purely nominal.
He almost never got shore leave, because if he ever
got off the ship he would not come back. Some men
spent five years with the fleet without once setting foot
on dry land; a case is recorded where a frigate, bound
home after seven years service in Indian waters, was
stopped in Gibraltar and her crew transferred to . new
ship that had just come out, and sent off to begin an
other tour OF duty equal in length to the last one.
Nor did the sailor have any rights. His officers could
flog him to death for comparatively minor offenses-and
it often happened. Ii action. marines with fixed bay
onets were stationed at. his back to run him through if
he left his post. If he got wounded, he had 20 submit
to surgery that was like the torture of the 1nquisition.
Thus the old-time navy man had a very hard life;
and if he mutinied occasionally no one can wonder at it.
And when you contrast that regime with conditions on
warships today, where the sailor is treated like an intel
ligent and decent human being, is well-housed, well-fed
and we'll -%paid-well. it does seem that mankind has i'm
proved a little in the last century.

Efficiency on the Farm

Agricultural experts figure that it takes two ares of
land to provide food enough for the average American;
one acre for the average German; half an acre for the
Chinese and one-fourth of an acre for the Japanese.
Some calamity howlers will use these figures as evil
dence of the woeful inefficiency of American agriculture
or the unproductiveness of American soil.
If they do, their deductions will be incorrect. For,
If American farmers cared to work and farm like Japan
csc and if the American people cared to live like Japan
csc, we could do about as we'll as they. The average
American is larger, Of course, but the standard of stature
doubtless would shrink under such treatment.
Contrary to surface indications, the American farmer
is the most efficient in the world, producing more food
per man employed than any other farmer in the world.
That. perhaps. is one of the difficulties in reducing
and controlling the SURPRISES which experts tell us cause
low prices for farm products.

d Is the
Anniversary Of
BIRTH

On Jan. IL, 1746, Johann Pestalozzi,
a Swiss educational reformer and the
chief founder of modern pedagogy,
was born at Zurich.
He first became interested in the
problems of education at the Univer-
sity of Zurich. When he married q
few years later, and settled down on
his 10O-acre estate, he decided to
study the child problem at first hand
by turning his farm into an asylum
for the industrial education Of the
young. The venture proved a failure.
After asperiod Of IS years Of finan-
cial distress and corresponding period
of great literary activity, he founded,
with governmental support, a school
for poor children at Stanz. Later he
conducted schools in other cities.
The idea which lay at the basis OF
his method Of intellectual instruction
was that everything should be treated
in a concrete way. Almost all Pesta-
lozzi's methods are now adopted in
the elementary schools Of Europe and
America.
