I am certain that what Rose Baudin did is what any good women placed in her heart rending position would have done. I, myself, wrestled With the problem before I would play the part; for “Should a Mother Tell ” deals with such an important question that I felt that if I did not sincerely be- lieve that Rose Baudin did rightly in tuking the course she aid, I should not play the character] I am sure that ‘Should a Mother Tell?” will be of inestimable benefit to millions of women who have to face the same dilemma as did Rose Baudin.” the Instructors Must Solve Prob- Summer School System at Ex- eir Own Vacations, gaid Miss Davis, “and we were not ex- it vital questian inithe city ;h&usted. “I do not think that there is any evidence to show that the teachers world lare unable to give more service than they do at present.
