I f any of the readers of tlie Journal know of any social event or item of interest in tliis vicinity, and will mail same to this ottice. it will ap pear under t Ids heading. We want all news items Euitoic As a Woman Sees It. A few of ho points made by Mrs. .Melville in the paper written on "Why There Should bo a Mother on the School Hoard:" ( I i Tho view point of a woman is different from a man's, so in interest, of the child, women as well as men are needed on the school board. ( J' Heeauso moth er interest is needed in the man agemenl of 'ho affairs of Ihe school. (.! Women more oflen have tho necessary time o visit the schools and do tin1 required work for the best interest of Ihe school. ( 5 ' The housekeeping end of school management is of vital interest to a mother, .-uch as sanitation, heating, lighting and ventilation. (.V A woman on the school board can do much lo brim:- about a closer co-operation between patron and the school. (' r ' Then more than half of the scholars are -'irls and about seven-tenths of our in structing force are women. Thorr needs to be someone on the school board who understands the wom an's side of the problems to pre sent theni properly. ' Ther should be someone on the board lo whom the teachers may with freedom and talk over Ihe affairs which they could not talk of so freely wilh men and who would understand the girl nature better than men. ('7 Xalhaniel Butler of the Chicago university has said 'T should go so far as lo feel that no board of education was properly coii-t it ut ed thai did not nave m its mcmhorship one or more of the mothers of the community." Mr. Delell. th state superintenlent. says: '"My experience has been that women make very ei'irient members on a school board." A woman is ineligible Jo vote. even at a school election, unb she is a mother and pays taxes. Harmony should prevail in its entirety among the parents who are interested in the construction of the new school room. Tho members of Ihe school board wh started the new building proposi tion should bo left alone until the building is completed and ready for use. Genial Hilly Hamilton wa: visiting in Plattsmouth Friday He has many friends in that cilv who are always glad to see him Fee Oldham was visiting his brother, George Oldham, and sis tor, Mrs. Dora Moore, in Plat Is mouth Saturday. He also took advantage of the opportunity ti I -1 1 numerous omer lriends in the city. Mrs. H. D. Churchill of Kim- herly, Idaho, came in Thursday t spend the summer wilh Murray and Plattsmouth relatives. Mrs Churchill is a sister of Mrs. W. S Holmes, Mrs. C. A. Hawls am James Holmes. Members of the M. W. A. art hereby notified to attend a meet ing of the oider in Murrav on Saturday night, '-Juno lS. All members are urgently reipiesled to be present as there are new candiales to initiate and other important business to transact. Mrs. W. S. Smith and Mrs. Ozro Virgin entertained the Missionary society at the home of the latter Saturday afternoon. A very pleas ant afternoon was spent and those present tendered Mesdames Smith and Virgin a vole of thanks for the royal manner in which they were entertained. Mrs. Sherlev ami two youngest children of Lincoln came down last Thursday to assist hoi brother, H. A. Hoot, in putting up cherries, and also to enjoy a visit. Mr. Roofs trees were tilled to overflowing wilh some of the largest and finest cherries we have seen this season. If the present school directors building will progress nicely. The building yill progress nicely. The present directory is composed of gentlemen who are hustlers, and will constantly have their eyes on the work until the entire building is completed and ready for use. Could others do more? Dr. H. V. Hrendel and bis brother, Dr. J. F. Hrendel, who is visiting here from Zionsville, Ta., boarded the train here Wednesday for Avoca, to spend the day wilh Dr. Will Hrendel, returning home in the evening via Nehawka, at. which place they were met by Dr. J. F. Hrendel, jr., and brought homo in the auto. DON'T CHANGE. The illustrious Lincoln once said, "Don't swap horses in the middle of a stream." This maxim holds good regarding the hi-ih school building committee. This committee has gone through some diliicult problems in the financing and plans of construction of our new school building. There are more diliicult ipieslions to moot. One experienced in finance must be retained upon this board; we cannot afford to break tile work ing harmony of the commit ' eo. F.aeh member is familiar with lii details of all concerning the con struction of this building. The financial section of the committee has been the nio( strenuous part to till. There are diliicult situa tions yet to bo met. Tho writing of a check for the new school building is a purile consideration of the question. A mother on the choid board is an ideal one. Xo one muld oppose her at any other time. Wo are all in favor of the principles inculcated in the doc trine of eipial sulTrage and Hi1 clowning- sheaf in the hnrve-t of political principles will be when woman's voice in the ail'airs of this great republic is weighed in Ihe balance wilh that of man's. This is not a political issue. Ii is a good place to use common reason. Ask one of the building commiflee and you will find that they will oppo-e having il- order disrupted. Rev. Ililchman, pastor of Ihe United Presbyterian church in ihi- village, has presented his resignation. And there are rumors that the reverend gentle man conteinplalos stopping into double blessedne-s. We don't pretend to s;v ho v.- much truth (lu re is in the rumor. A bright little boy of standard weight made his advent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwighl Ser ice. east of Union. (.n Mon day.
