It is interesting to note. Judging from
the new lists of county officers in the
northwest, that women are filling many
positions of responsibility in that region.
Washington has twelve school superin
tendents, while Montana shows twenty
one. Idaho has one auditor and clerk,
six treasurers and fifteen school super
intendents. Utah follows closely with
one clerk, one treasurer and seven re
corders. The National Consumers' League is
gradually gaining ground in this country
particularly In the large cities. The ob
ject of the leagues Is to encourage the
sale of those manufactured goods which
are produced under sanitary conditions
in contradistinction to such as are made
in sweat-shops or by children. The
league met with some difficulty at first in
inducing large dealers to recognize the
benefit which they would derive from
favoring the sale of goods bearing Its
label, but now some of the more Import
ant stores in the large cities will sell no
other good.i of certain kinds but those
which are so marked.
At the meeting of the National Dress
makers' association, held last week in
Chicago, the members decided by a un
animous vote to follow the example of
their sisters in London, and hire male
escorts to accompany them on their
sight-seeing tours and their visits to the
theatres, at all future sessions of the as
sociation. The innovation was proposed
by Mrs. Carolyn Angford of Duluth, who
formerly resided in London and was
familiar with the custom there. The Idea
was taken up with enthusiasm and when
the question regarding the "renting" of
male escorts was put, it carried unan
imously, and manager Fred G. Elms
promised to have men in readiness when
the next semi-annual convention meets
in Chicago next September.
At a meeting held recently of the ex
ecutive committee of the Colorado feder
ation it was voted to admit to member
ship in the federation clubs whose mem
bers Include men as well as women.
This is an innovation which will startle
many club members and delight those
few who have been predicting that the
club of the future will have members of
both sexes. Colorado Is not, after all,
the first state federation to admit a
mixed club, although it is the first to
take formal action in the matter. Il
linois has i"or some time permitted, with
out actually encouraging, mbced mem
bership. The General federation not
very long ago considered the matter and
decided that men could not be members
of the General Federation of Women's
clubs, and therefore clubs to which men
belong are not admitted to membership
in the General federation. As all the
state federations belong to the General
federation it is possible that this matter
will have to be brought up again in the
near future.
Mrs. P. S. Peterson, chairman of the
domestic science committee of the Il
linois Federation of Women's clubs,
strongly advocates the use of school
woman la entitled to an escort. Mrs. F.

Through a resolution adopted at the
recent conference of the National Legis
lative league, the women of the United
States are urged to make a study of the
laws of their several states in order to
discover what are her unjust discrimina
tions against them in the statutes In the
matter of ownership and Inheritance of
property, the legal rights of their chil
dren, the power to make a will and all
other matters of Import to th:lr welfare.

was "The Education of the Blind." and

The leader stated that the bill before

property outside of school hours, in the
year book just issued by the federation.
The school grounds should be kept open,
she says, with every facility given chil
dren for the use of swings, horizontal
bars, and the like for bodily develop
ment, and the rooms should likewise be
kept free and made centers of social life
for the children of the neighborhood.
This course, argues Mrs. Peterson, will
keep the children from the streets, and
aid them mentally and morally. Mrs.
Peterson also strongly advocates the
child-labor law, and indorses the kinder
garten. A feature of the year book Is
the statement that "there Is nothing feo
bad as the cooking in American homes."
Mrs. Peterson makes this the theme of
an argument for domestic sclerce, and
especially cookery, in school study.
