Princess Antolnionc
of the Rumanian attache at Wash-
ington, made the following amazing
statement recently upon her return
to London following a visit in Amer-
ica: "The American men are so
charming, but it is Just because they
a.'e so charming that the American
women aren't so pice They are ut-
terly spotted -and for nothing.'’
Now there are person* who say
that American women should not re-
Hcnt such a statement as it Is ob-
vious who made the American men
so charming. It is explained that the
men of our country are celebrated all
over the world for rhelr gallantry, their
fine manners and their all-round per-
fection, and that American women
made them so. Thi* perfection, it is
pointed out, is due chiefly to his home
training begun by hi* mother, con-,
tinned by his wife and completed by
his daughtcre. Mention ts not made
of his female school teachers, hut wo
presume they are to be included hi
the honors for the rearing of the mar-
velous American man—they surely
should bo.
That is all well and good We are
pleased to note that England and oth-
er countries recognize quality when
they encounter it, and naturally we
are delighted that they abe overcome
with admiration for the gentlemen
we American women took a strong
head tn rearing. But why should the
fact that the men are such paragons
detract from the virtue and general
worth of woman—In short, make her
"utterly spoiled," to quote the prin-
cess? Methlnks there Is error here,
because if a woman Is big enough and
broad minded enough, to say nothing
of being Intelligent enough to make
GO TO SCHOOL CAMPAIGN
, Now that the beginning of the new
school, term is approaching, a "go to
school campaign" is being waged by
various organizations throughout the
country The object of these cam-
paigns is sound. Their worth ha*
been proven In other state* snd In a
few Tegs* cities where the plan has
been tried. In mo»t cases it has b*en
found that only SO or *5 per cent af
grammar school students continue
their studies in the high schools By
conducting the "go to school” cam-
paign each year the average has
reached 95 per cent.
The result of these campaigns lias
net only Increased high school at-
tendance but by repeating them each
year those who enter high school arts
encouraged to continue their studies
until graduation. It is a well-known
fact that the tendency has been to
<bop out after completing the gram-
mar school work, especially on the
pert of the hoy After finishing in
.the grammer school, the hoy gets It
into his head that he ha* enough edu-
cation and that the time has come
for him to rub elbow* with the wor’d.

this direction that it has become nec-

that she is using it on a much broad-

j intended.
American men captivated her,
that she eoukl nat say the same of
our women, therefore, she decided that
by being examples of self-abnegation
and gallantry and a dozen other de-
sirable things, our men have spoiled
us, and that we are very bad prod-
thts, indeed. Rather a poor deduc-
tion, w« take it; however, being one
of the clan, we may be prejudiced.
It seems to b* the Idea of many
Europeans that to be a perfect wom-
an one must eat humble pie. Indulge
in a semi-annual parade in sack cloth
and ashes, and spend tha greater
portion of her time in subservience to
man But happily that Isn’t the opin-
ion or the standard of our women,
who believe in fair dealing and the
shouldering of life's burden# on a
fifty-fifty basis.
Our women are not spoiled; they
•imply exact a little courtesy and
consideration from men because of
their sex, and who would appreciate
or admire a woman of adamantine
mien and refractory heart? It la not
our desire to detract honor from our
men, because like the Rumanian
princess, we, too, are captivated by
them; but we could not resist the
temptation of a small line of defenca.
We never could alt silent and let tha
other fellow do all the talking, par-
ticularly when that "fellow” is a
woman.

Cltlxens on streets not already paved

property owners should be hold and
