They have an opportunity of voting for two splendid fwomen, Miss Mary ©’Meara for the three-year term, and Mrs. Eva Schroeder for the two-year term. And there is no reason why the men of Seattle should not show their gallantry, and at the same time, their good sense, by coming to the aid of the ‘women. Other cities have broken away from the old idea that "women do not make good public servants in school affairs ' Chicago's superintendent of schools is a woman. Boston other Eastern cities have women on their school boards Coming nearer home, one of the most valuable members the school board of Vancouver, B. C., is a woman. And why not? Always the greater interest in school irs has been the interest of the women. To them is left and always has been left the responsibility for the upbring- | ing of the boy and girl. It is to them the children carry a their school age gricfs and joys. The father is too busy. It is the mother who knows what is going on in ‘he schools.) Most of the fathers we know haven't time to burden them-| : es with what they consider only incidentals. But with mother these stories with their childish griefs and joys big and real!
