SF^lRIT OF MODERN GIRL
What is the modern equivalent for
the carpet weaving and bear skinning
that once made our women great
partners for their men? queries the
Bnlludelplila Bulletin. The type-
writer. tlte filing case, the restaurant
the thousand departments of mod-
ern commerce In which women are
working—are these the modern equiv-
alent for the bear skinning that once
saved women’s souls? The IMlgrim
mothers weren’t great because they
shot Indians, but because they met
die as it came with courage, energy
and Integrity. They were out in the
thick of things and they bore them
selves valiantly. It’s exactly that
spirit which makes our women great
today. The modern girl is getting
hutimti contact, her broadening and
I.iiliinelng In identically the same
place as the pioneer mother got hers—
oil tin- frontier, sats the Kansas Oity
star. For the pioneer mother that
meant the deserts and plains; for
the modem daughter It means Com-
mercial street. But the daring and
resourcefulness required are the same
and the poise it gives Is the same.
Superintendent Butcher of the cl’>
sehoois delivered a forceful aud la
teresling talk before tlte (dona Club
yesterday, and hla remarks found a
very appreciative and responsive uu
(Hence. Mr. Butcher dwelt to cotno
extent on the spirit of helpfulness amt
fellowship thiit should exist among
men. the spirit of -Christ(unity, tin.
child and duty of the parent toward
their children. The speaker called at-
tention to the fact that by an adver-
tising campaign of education that
raison growers jtnd citrus growers of
the country had created a demand for
their products, that the florists of
Oklahoma CUv had similarly increas-
ed their business, nnd Mr. Butcher
pointed out that the Increased bust
ness wa snot due to the competitive
spirit among those engaged in the U
dustries mentioned, but that rathe
the Incrense had been the result of
the right sort of helpfulness, and not
a desire to put down the other fellow.
"The great problem the ,|ay Is not
an economic one," said Mr. Butcher,
"but is one of human relationship. II
the disarmament of nations is going
to mean anything, It will he because
men and social clubs put into the
vorld ships to replace the nrmametK
of the nations." Mr. Butcher sug
estrd the following "ships" as replace-
ment of armament :Worshlp. more
attention sonshlp, more thought for
the child, an,; th • home. Fellowship:
better understanding between men
Salesmanship and Stewardship. In
closing Mr. Butcher called attention
to the needs of the citv schools and
the big problems 'hat are confronting
the people of the eitv in making
idequnte provisions for the education
of the.children of the city. The lack
of suffleent roi-m was onp of the big
hardships, according to the Superin-
tendent, b..t he was emphatic In de
elating that the children would he
provided with the room and the equip-
ment. even though at that moment
he was unable to sav how It would be
accomplished. A« an Illustration he
cited the fart that the music room
of the High school did not have a
Piano, ard that he nnd a member o'
•he Board of Education were forced
to give their personal, cheeks In or-
der that an instrument could be se
cured. Many of the rooms were also
without sufficient chairs, "but the
'•hairs will he here tomorrow" said
th. speaker, "not next week, but to-
morrow. T do not know 1n*t now
where we are going to get them or
hew they will he paid for. but thev
will he here." Mr Butcher said thnt
he knew nothing of the packing plant
•iropertv, hut he saw no wav in which
• o relieve the crowded conditions of
.he schools, other than to sell the
packing plant property, use what was
necessary In repairing the disposal
otant and the balance to complete the
High school.
