Every one will admit wouum's in terest in education. Even the most conservative will grunt that the training of the youug is not only her privilege but the duty. Does it not seem strange then that, in many of on i- stutes, women have been ho en tirely ignored iu the iiiaua-enieiit of our Public Schools? In the schools, os iu the professions, men have had hitherto the advantage of the "squatter;" they aro on the ground and possession is nine points of the law. In tho professions, however we find hero and there successful women who have overcome this dis advantage by their individual worth and persisteut effort ; but iu the pub lic schools the matter is more diffi cult for they aro under tho control of the state and those who have possession have tho weapon to de fend themselves in this possession. For instance, the constitution of Peiinsylvaiiitt makes women eligible to any office of control or manage ment under tho school system- yet it denies them the right to vote for the people who hold offices or make the appointments. Experience has showu that so long as women have to look to the men of the i-tate to place thorn iu offices of con trol or management, they will not get the office, for in this the twenty-fourth year since our Con stitution went into effect we find that out of a total of 1:1.781 school directors only 41 are women. The office of director is probublv the most important iu the whole list. The ideal school director should be equipped with illiberal public school and a belief in their possibilities, a knowledge of child nature and the needs of children, the ability to judge character and to deal with men, mid sufficient leisure to devote to tho various duties of tho office: and tho more of these qualities and attainments u school board posses ses, tho more nearly it approaches tho ideal. Tho unfortunate fact is. howovor, apparent that usually the very qualification least needed in tho Director or in the Board adherence to one or the other political party is the ono of paruuioiiut importance iu tho eyes of the electors, and the office is of value or ol interest to t he elected only us it serves to bring him into tho notice of the political boss und marks him as u candidate for further political favor. Now, few men even granting them all tho other umUificatious. know child-naturo or have much apprecia tion of children's needs, ami many men have littlo or no leisure to at tend to the duties of the office. Thorofore, a Board composed entire ly of mon, evon educated men is not likely to bo ideal iu fact, is very sure to bo inefficient uud incapable of bringing about the best conditions for tho schools under its control. John Ellenbergor of Ilarrisburg is visiting A. W. Bowersox' here. Jersey's Marriage License Law. Gov. Griggs has signed tho Llovd marriage license bill passed bv there. cent Legislature. The bill was con siderably amendod in the two houses so that if differs very much from the bill as it was introduced. Tho bill as it becomes a law provides that in those cases where both crmtrnctinrr parties are non-rosi Jonts of tho State they must, in order to get married iu in New Jersey, procure a license from the clerk of the county in which the ceremony is to tako place. For this a fee of fifty cents must be paid. In order to procure the license it imiul be established that there are no lnnl impediments to the marriage and an swers must be submitted to the Questions propounded on this linn. The questions themselves are to be formulated by the Attorney Gener al's office. In the case of minors the consent of the parents or guar dians must be obtained. No lioonse is required in the case where one or both of the contracting parties re side in the State. The bill goes into effect on July 1st. M
