WOMEN SHOULD CONSIDER
1. The foundation of all chlldwel-
fare Is health end education.
2. The foundation of our very na-
tion rcpends upon the education of
the children.
3. Mothers and school teachers
share alike the burden of National
progress. The teachings at home
must eh carried out In the child's sec-
ond home—the school room. A moth-
er who conslilc rs her work done In
providing a well ordered home la
performing only a part of her duty.
4. The schools are on the verge of
disruption heer.use the welt trained
teachers are ■laving for more renu-
merntlve sain ides in other profe«alona.
There are approximately 100,000
children of rchool age ont of th*
class room because there are no
teachers for tbem. The etandarde of
the schools ere being lowered. Into
what kind of future cltir.cn are we
allowing oiir children to bo made?

ty should p.iv her poll tax not only
