NEW TEACHERS FOR OLD, AS
DR. MARTIN URGES, SAYS M'LISS
Depriving the Kiddies of Their Christmas
Tree Is an Injustice
When la a Teacher "Hopeless," Doctor Martin?
THE efficiency bug lins more victims. Like the fallacy Hint If a thlnp Is
"modern" It la perfecft, the efficiency habit hits crept upon lis. We have
efficient hursos for our children. We linve elllclcnt bookkeepers, and now tho
Hoard of Education wants efficient teachers. Not onty this, but Dr. Martin pro
poles to dismiss the older teachers whom he designates ns "hopeless" and to
Install "yotmir blood with ginger nnd efficiency" In their places. Ho Intimates,
but docs not guarantee, a pension for
efficiency which Is ousting the older women, nnywuy? Is It real merit, or Is It
only Dr. Martin's private notion of what a teacher should be? Young blood
ntul ginger sounds well enough as a figure of speech, but It cannot replace ex
perience In handling the problems of the schoolroom. It cannot give balance
nnd dlpnlty where thoso qualities are lacking. There Is no sentiment In busi
ness, but there should be Justice.
I'asstnp of the Christmas Tree
CITY HALL t'liAZA Is going to bloom with greens again. Venders have
placed their bids for the location to display their Christmas trees there. I
heard n mother say tho other day, "I'm not going to hno n trco this year; I'm
tired of them, nnd I'm sure tho children are too. It's entirely too much trouble."
Poor little kiddles. It's the passing of tho Christmas tree which mnrks tho first
dlstlluslonmcnt of Chrlstmns. I have seen women buy a tree nnd trim It for
pet dogs, nnd cats, and dumb creatures who have no understanding of the
occasion at nil, and yet, when It comes to their own, It Is "too much trouble."
I wonder when tho relatlvo value of child and dog will bo settled, nnd how'

Culture In Smnll Doses
THE public distribution of Philadelphia Orchestra tickets began todaj With
ono of these tickets, which are free for the nsklng. jou may enjoy the same '
orchestra which plays at the Academy, thanks to the efforts of a number of
music-loving citizens. Kcw people realize Just how much money nnd how much
co-opcratlon Is necessary to procure this privilege for tho public. Hut they do
realize that Philadelphia as a musical centre Is not all It should be, and that
educating the gcnernl public to appreciate good music Is a step toward Intel-
lectual progress. Let's hope that next Sunday night's concert will be crowded I
to the doors. As I heard a little woman remark when tho project llrst came up,
"Well, If they don't go for music, they'll go bocauso they're getting something i
for nothing. After that they'll get to like It."
Housekeepers, Beware!
ANEW story of how a foolish woman was robbed of her diamonds and sllver
. ware appears In a local paper. It seems that the lady was of peculiarly
trusting disposition, being In the habit of leaving her key with the milkman
when she went out, so that gentleman might deliver the milk Indoors. She
took no chnnces on losing the milk. Unfortunately, the milkman was but an
ordinary human being, nnd the temptation wns too great for him, so one day he
felt off, and removed several vnluablo articles along with his milk bottles.
There. Is a moral In this talc for the avcrago housekeeper who leaves small
chango about the house. Such a fcractlco puts a servant at a dlsadvnntnge, for
when anything Is gone she Is the first one under suspicion.
Giving the Benedicts a Chance
THE decision of the Pennsylvania Railroad with regard to the ull-lmportant
question of hiring and tiring Is a step In the right direction. Tho delegates
declared that there would bo distinctions made ns to race, age, or between bach
elors and married men. In fact, they went further than this, by declaring that
they would give married men the preference. And why not? It stands to reason
that the man with others dependent upon him will work as hard. If not harder,
than the unattached Individual which Is called a bachelor. And when a married
man is fired, It Isn't only one man who suffers. It Is the little mother at homo
who has no comeback.
French Fashions "Alacle in Germany"
A STORY from London reveals a plot to ruin the prestige of French fashions.
-Tho Germans, of course, nre to blame, having bought up and operated n
very well known Parisian dressmaking firm, with Gcrmnn capital, nccordlng to
the report. Tho object of this performance was to Increase Germany's trndo by
putting out Inferior gowns nnd wraps at the French establishment, thereby
transferring the trade to the Fntherlnnd. Personally, I have the greatest
respect for German Ingenuity, but I refuse to believe that the American womnn
Is so gnlllblo as this would suggest. Germany has devised many clever substi
tutions, sho lins replaced her food supply with artificial diet, but she can't make
us think thnt fashion can come out of Germany.
Letters to the Editor of the Woman's I'afje
Dear M'LIss I have heard that there Is n school of Journalism somewhere
In this city. Would this help mo to get n position on n newspaper and how long
would the course take? I would also like to know the requirements for en
trance. OPPORTUNITY.
Thero Is no school of Journalism thnt I know of in Philadelphia. Columbia
Unlveialty In New York city has one, however, nnd It Is very fine, I understand.
The course takes four years If you have not had collogo English or Its equiv
alent. During that time you have almost every branch of newspaper experi
ence feature writing, covering news stories, writing Interviews, etc. Tho
school guarantees Its men pupils a position after graduation. For further par
ticulars write to tho School of Journalism. Columbia University, New York city.
Dear M'LIss I would be obliged If you could settle an argument for me. A
says that the expression, "ho don't," Is a colloquialism, nnd as such Is consid
ered correct. B claims that it Is incorrect, and thnt no excuse can be offered
for Incorrectness of speech. Which of us Is correct? CURIOUS.
Thero Is no question about It. H Is right. Everyone knows that "ho dont"
Is an abbreviation for "ho do not." This expression Is wrong, becnuso he, being
singular, cannot be coupled with the plural "do." The correct expression, of
course, If you really want to use n colloquialism, Is "ho doesn't," which Is the
abbreviation for ho does not. No amount of common usage can make an Incor
rect expression correct. The samo applies to such words as "nln't," for "Is
not," etc.
Dear M'LIss I am n college graduate from out of town. I heard that tho
College Club In the city receives graduates from representative colleges as
members. I should like to know some of the women there, and find out how
to Join. etc. Can you help mo' CHICAGO.
I can do so much toward aiding you, but as you did not glvo me tho name
of your college, I must let you do the rest. You see, the College Club, situated
at 1300 Spruce street, admits members from the colleges which nre on their
eligible list. The member must bo u graduate student. Now, If you want to
know If your college Is Included in the eligible list (which Includes almost all
tho Eastern and Western colleges of good standing), you will have to call up or
visit the secretary of tho Admission Committee, Miss Katlierlue Puncheon.
You can reach her at the club. Kvery year tho membership committee ndmits
new colleges to this list. Then your application blank must bo sent into the
committee. You must be proposed by ono member and seconded by two others.
This all takes about a month, although if you join now you will only have to pay
dues for tho half-year, Slembershlp entitles you to all the boclai nnd educa
tional advantages of the club, A new book which gives a complete list of all
tho colleges Included In the club may be obtained by calling or writing for it
after January t. M'LISS.

SAD DAYS AHEAD FOR COAL MAN;
DOCTOR'S ADVICE BEING HEEDED
By WILLIAM
A
MKAT market proprietor who re-
size of his market by ono half and econ
omize in other sensible ways, gave out
ns tho reason for this contraction a
statement thnt people were eating less
meat than they did a few years ago,
that the doctors ure to blame for the fall
ing oft In the demand.
That is encouraging. Doctor Osier's
dictum Is at last accepted we "at too
much.
Now let's get after the coal man. Ho
enjoys a monopoly In a commodity of
which wo consume more than Is good
for us. Thero Is no doubt that most of
us keep our dwellings too warm. It
Is high time to Inaugurate a propagandum
against the coal man.
The coal man looks with feelings of
sadness upon tho fad of sleeping on tho
upstairs porch. Ho is no ardent advocate
of the open-air schoolroom, nor tho tent
wards for the treatment of pneumonia,
nor tho outdoor treatment of anemia,
nervous trouble, tuberculosis and con
valescence In general.
i Coal dealers used to have ,i fatherly
liking for thermometers. They even
I sent little thermometers around to old
i and prospective customers ob a souvenir
of the Happy New Year. Rut tho propa
gandum ngalnst the catching cold delu
sion has changed all this. Coal dealers
these days send customers nothing but
the bill. It seems that people have been
abusing the thermometers. Formerly
evorynody endenvored to see how high
the mercury could be kept without break
ing the glass; now the averago house
holder tries to keep his living rooms at
the lowest possible temperature contla
tent with physical comfort. For It Is
getting noised about that the warmer the
atmosphere of living apartments, the
better for "cold" microbes nnd catarrhal
troubles; tho cooler, and hence tho moro
moisture in the ar, tho healthier for
everybody In the household, from baby
to grandma.
This sort of moement the coal dealer
has no patience with at all. Good com
mon sense hygiene like our grandmoth
er, practiced is good enough for him

CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
HAVE LAST CHANCE TO
"DO IT EARLY" TODAY
Practicality is Leading Note
in Many Types of Gifts.
Noah's Arks Popular
As Ever
BOOKS AS PRESENTS
Including tmlny, there nre only nine shopplint
ilj before ClirlMmin.
Todny ends the "Shop Karly" season.
This day, Dcccmbei 15, wns set by tho
Consumers' League ns the time nil

I can help tho harried workers In tho
counter-trenches of the shops now Is to
1 get the necessary things ns soon ns pos
l slble, Instead of leaving It all to bo done
I on December 23 and 21.
And then to resolve to shop early next
Christmas.
A slnrdv practicality appears In play
things that nro for salo now. A wooden
doll, that seems very popular, has an ex
pression thnt Is far from wooden. Equal
ly unbreakable nro many of tho toy
dishes, animals and other nursery foi
bles. The "Pom Pom" baby Is made of
stocklnetto and Is named from the dain
ty ornaments used upon It.
Noah's Arks nro as popular as ever.
They run from 10-celit Arks up to
$10 Arks, but they all have the same
clmne. Ininrnctlcnl for sailing, ns of old.
The 110 zebras lose the left bind leg ns
easily as the 10-ccnt zebras do. All tho

that member. They never can stand on
I three legs nnd It Is still necessary to

Ark hospital,

Apropos of Arks, there Is a clever book
In tho shops, "The Log of tho Ark, '
which shows very humorously that It
wns not all beer and skittles for Noah
on the original vessel.
More "highbrow" literature Is nlso In
dcmniul. There nre new books out com
paratively lecently by Wells ("Tho Re
search Mngnlflccnt"), by Arnold Bennett
("Wo Twain"), and good war books by
Hennett nnd Edith Wharton. Rooks mo
a great standby for gifts. If they are
good enough to live longer than It takes
t glanco through them once. For boys
nnd girls one ennnot go far wrong in
giving Stevenson's "Treasuro Island,
which everybody ought to read at least
once n car.
The men ntul women who shiver on the
stieet cornels and stamp first ono foot
and then the other do not get any re
wind, all the pennies thnt nro dropped
into their boxes go toward tho Christmas
dinners of poor children, poor men ana
women. They sot no reward excopt tho
feeling that they sacrifice themselves for
others. They, at least, then, are experi
encing tho real Christmas spirit.
The Volunteers of America, as well as
tho Salvation Army, nro making big
pieparatlons. Colonel Alice V. Ilerron
says the greatest need she encounters is
proper clothing and shoes for children.
Children arc going to school In dilapi
dated nffnlrs not worthy the name or
shoes; full of holes, thnt let the stock
ings touch tho cold sidewalk every step,
and where the stocking presses soon thero
Is tho bare foot touching tho bricks and

The good work which Lieutenant Sam

Christmas time In making glad tho hearts
of tho poor children In their district, tho
