GLENDALE HAPPENINGS

who have neither registered or YOt
ed, but consider it to be their dut
to remain at home and see that the
have proper training which they ca
only obtain when under a mother
care.
Young man, which would you pre-
fer for a wife, one who has beel
carefully trained in the home anC
whose mother taught her how to bC
a perfect housekeeper; can if neces
sary, cook, wash, iron or sew, anC
when you come home from youl
daily avocation, meets you with {
smile, or would you prefer one who
has very little home training, thinks
it an honor to drink highballs OF
smoke cigarettes, has never been
taught what it is to be a perfect
housekeeper; can neither cook, iron
or sew, and whose delight seems to
be when away from home and at
tending some social gathering or en-
gagged in doing political work for the
party to which they belong, and
scarcely ever is home to greet you
when you arrive. Young man, which
of the two depicted above would
you prefer for a wife?
Is it any wander that homes are
broken up and the courts of the
State are kept busy in granting to
applicants a dissolution from the
married state.
Something happened a few weeks
ago at a town in Delaware where a
primary election was held and the
story coming from a woman who
had a part in holding the election.
She said that it was the most cor
rupt, and the actions OF those who
were interested parties were very
abrupt and the swearing INDUCED in
was very obnoxious to those pres
ent. She further said that men, both
white and colored, who had been
given enough free rum to make
them drunk and in this condition
they were brought into the room
(where the woman was employed
and where other women voted) to
cast their ballots ami swearing
while they did so. Mem Would you
want your wife, daughters or sweet
hearts to take a part in gathering
of this kind?
Politics in Delaware are too rot
ten for any woman who thinks well
of herself to take part i'll.
The writer has lived long enough
to witness the passing Of the old
and the coming of the new woman
and the change has been disap-
pointing.
Look the field over, compare the
changes that have taken place in
The present status of women and
answer in a truthful way-"Has the
freedom which has been accorded to
women by giving them 2 right to
vote been elevating?" CT has it had !
/ tendency to lower the ';timation
n which they were formerly held by |
he public at large?
Wesley Collegiate Institute, Closed
1t is with regret that the writer |
hears that that notable school, the /
Wesley Collegiate Institute, will not !
De open this year on account of in
sufficient enrolment and the need
If funds.
1t is a pity that some way could |
lot be found that would keep the
ichool open.
The school has had a notable ca
eer, and has sent men. out into the
world, who have made their mark.
t is a wonder that some of the
.lumni of this school who are rich
lon't come to its rescue.
The depression now existing has
much to do with the closing of the
chool. Many of the farmers of the
state have been sending theiE girls
nd boys to be educated at the insti-
ute, but owing to the depression
nd the low price of what they raise,
re unable to send their children
here to be taught, until times gets
etter.
The school under the direction of
Tajor Clarence Short, president,
7as making good and we thought
nat the end of the troubles which
he school has been experiencing
or some years on account of lack ]
f funds was over.
We hope the closing is only tenn
orary and a way will be found
here the school will be able to re- ,
line its work.
Some of the ablest preachers in
lie Methodist Episcopal Church re-
sived their first training in this !
,hool. If we are not mistaken there
ere several young men who were {
udying for the ministry attending
lis chool; the closing will work
ardship on them, as some have not {
e money to pay their way through 4
CHER priced schools. n
We feel sure that everything will
the end work out all right, and
q old school which has been a
)wer in the land for good will q
me forth in the future and will do ?
eater wor kthan ever before. 7
It would pay some of the rich men v
Wilmington far better to render +
bstantial aid to this school, than I
me things which they are giving t
cir money freely.
