L { b | [ WOMEN ~ AS PRINCIPALS. Issue Joined With Superintendent James on His School Report. *'A PEDAGOGUE" TALKS OUT IN MEETING. Growing Tendency of the Times to Discredit the Work of the Weaker Sex as Princie pals of Schools, Omarma, Neb, April 6.—To the Editor of e Ber: In looking over the annual report of the Omaha city schools for the year 1800, I find a chapter in the superintendent's department devoted to the topic of » women as principals. This article, coming as it does from our high- st school authority, should meot with care- ful perusal at the hands of every citizen in- terested in the welfare of our city schools. 1t 1s replote with glaring inconsistencics, One cannot read it without being conscious of the fact toat it is the dying refrain over a lost cause, the final and forced apology from the champion of an unpopular and unsuccessful policy He starts out with the remarkable state- ment that in all eastern cities and in most of those in the west, it is deemed necossary to employ men for the su on of largo schools. Thus wdmitting that his favorite policy, of which he is the author, is a mere experiment, an experiment that the guardians of the public schools of Boston have never had the. temerity to try, and yet the magnificent public school system of that city is the bost of New England—the pride of America—an experiment the magnitude of whose importance the educational fathers of Chicago have long _remained in blissful ig. norance, nud yet Chicago leads the west in the symmetery and_effectiveness of her pub- lic school system. Its strong mechanism is the result of no chimerical fa 1o over- drawn effort of fomale gallantry, 1o philan- thropic notion iu regard to woman's proper sphere; on the contrary, its system is the re- sult of the best thought' and_ of the best ex- perience—of tho best minds that the country uffords. Notwithstanding the success of these schools, unexampled and unparalleled as it has been, our fe ampion comes to the frout with the o the women a cuance.”” Wit his inate gallantry and his effeminatezeal, he would jeopardize an estab- lished success for a fanciful uncertainty. He says that it is nature's plan that to woman should be committed the training of tho young. 1f 80, is it not strango that for hundreds of years nature should have kept this benefic plan_locked up in hor lab- oratory of secrots?—that for all thes 5 man has reversed the course of nature!--that all this time the children of our public ‘schools have suffered an injustice by being suporvised by men iustead of women?i—for 1t is & fact that until within the last few years the spectaclo of a female in charge of o gradod school was never even dreamed of. If these women are such superior super- visors have not our colleges and high schools been laboring under great disadvantages through all these years in consequence of their bhaving vecn mauned iustead of w ? b, cal force is the essential principle upon which every form of government is based. It is the sine quaaon of every order of society, Tho pillars of state rest upon it. No matter what moral suasion is used, the strong arm of physical force alono awes the evikminded into sub- mission. In the family the love of mother may reign almost supreme, and yet there are times when even that is powerless, and the help of the_stronger force—tho gov- erumental head of the family—the father, must be invoked. The s=hool is no exception 1o this universal law. In point of government it is analogous to the family and to society, in fact it is & miufature world whose compo- sition in every particular rosembles the larger one after which it is fashioned. With- in the domam of school are ynmeru_d all grades and classes of society. he children of tho devout minister sit side by side with the children of the man who supports his fumily by prowling at night upon his neigh- bors. The same inclinations that actuate the father fill the beart of the child. Ifanything th hild wust be subjected to stronger sur- yeillanco than tho father himself, because ho has an opportunity to receive aid and encour- agement from his congregated companions. Yetour worthy superintendent says: *Do away with physical force; substitute moral suasion.”” As well 'apply _this principle to your municipal affairs, disband your ~ polico force. Instead of this terror to evil doers, substitute loving fomalo persuaders. Turn yonr criminal courts into Sunday sehools aud place them in charge of women, and then rest assured that society will be governed as offoctually as your schools are governod today. The learned gentleman says that very fow mon of forco and character “engage in~ edu- cational work, whilo the brightest women _enter the profession of teaching. To say the Teast, itis not very complimentary to the vast number of public educators all over the country who hold positions, perbaps, as reumnerative and equally as responsiblo as the one held by the gontieman himself. Nov does it reflect much credit upon the judg- ment of the boards of education that have employed these men. Buts it true that the brightest women— those who are the best qualified to educate aud govern children euter this professiont T'ne desire for maternity provades the female heart. At an carly age we soe evidonces of this fact. The little girl, with the doll in ler arms, has assumed in ininiaturo all tho maternal cares and’ duties of the woman of maturer years, The young lady, 10 matter how highly educated or cultivated, fecls that hor fondest hopes can only be real- ized by the consummation of the marriage re- lation. She, therefore, by all houorable means in her power, bends hor energies to the accomplishment of this object. If she is or- divarily bright and intelligent she is usually successiul. The exceptions are few. With the marriage relation assumed she enters, as 'y true Wife should, upon the perform- of her wifely and maternal duties, To ner the profession of teaching is at an ond. Fhe exceplions of this rule remain in the pro- fession. Later in life, when they have as- sumed all the prerogatives of maiden ladies, when they have become sufficiontly mascu- line, they are placed in charge of schools, Their ho maternity have become ex- tinct. Their love of childron has died out, and in this condition they are deomed quali: fled to take charge of the government and education of all grades and classes in our schools. ~ Living 1n seclusion, having no association with children at home, no inter- course with meu, except with irate par- ents and into Ner hands are intrusted the minds and characters of the future men of this country. Is it to be wondered at that boys subjected to such training are effemin- ute ! How is it with colleg young men! Fresh from where their minds have been sharp- ened by a thorough course of study, they enter the profession in the full strength of a vigorous young manhood. They see the other professions crowded to overflowing. They sce here a chance to achieve success in a field with which they are most familiar; to win for themselves a name and a position of honor. ~ Their minds are enlarging and strengthening every day as the rosult of their experie ad contact with the practical world, take part in political matters, in scientific affairs, in fact, they come in con* tact with men engaged In every vocation of lifo. As time passes on thoy assume the marriage relation. This, instead of turning them asido from their chosen profession, acts as an incentve to greater effort, To provide for the family, to vear and educate bis children ~ furnish an extra in- ducement and this training of his own sons, which God in his kind Providence may give him, brings him into closer relation lm{l_\'m]mlh_\'wilh his pupils and thus the better propares him for his work. No, these poards of education have made no mistake in the course pursued. Ed- ucated in these schools, east and west, have been the men who have made our country what it is. ‘L'c the efticiency of these strong aud able men who have beén atthe hoad of our institutions of learning we owo the strength and solidity of our national char- acter, Agaln, ho “The influence of & sys- tem that promotes the most competent to the best positions, stumulates tho efforts of the teachers all along the line, and it is better to byt every position of honor within the reach of all.” "Now is this the case under the favorite system of the gentlewanl Ou the 'y, It is, under fts workings, imposs! ble to attain the end aimed at by him.

This no one knows better than the superintendent him- sclt, and perhaps the knowledgo of this fact may stimulate llu: zeal in her bebalf, There are no dangerous rivals within the pale of competition.

He could not then with safety to himself settlo back into a state of innocuous desuetude and with folded hands and serene composure ex- claim: "Lt there bs promotion all along the line," Theinfluence of thirty-eight strone, cap able men at the head of our scnools would bo a blessiug to our city. It would revolutioniz our school affairs and totally eradicate the ent weak and vacillating policy.

And when they again arose-that gin besotted outcast's voice was heard above all the rest iu the glad hallelujah that was raisced. One of the army ofticers of the army began to talk.
