FAIRCHILD CHOSEN TO LEADJTEACHERS Hot Educational Convention Fight Ends with Victory for Progressives. ; (National News Association) CHICAGO, July 10 F. E. Fairchild of Kansas was this afternoon elected president of the National Educational Association. The election v.-;tn by a rising vote and followed a H;ht on the part of Miss Grace Straeht.n of New York, and her followers u override the ruling of the nominating committee.

WERE CONFIDEN X, '- CHICAGO, July 10. With the annual meeting of the National Educational Association scheduled for 11:45 o'clock today Progressive merr-bors of the organization this morning v. ere confident of victory in their fight to change the bylaws so as to "democratize" the organization. They were confident too that F. E. Fairchild, candidate of the progressives for the presidency of the association would be eltetei over Grace O. Strachan, head of the interborough women's teachers association of New York. The election of officers was on the program for today's meeting. The confidence of the progressive element rested on the utter rout of Secretary Irwin Shepard, head of the conservative element, in a stormy four hours session of the board of directors of the association. Shepard attacked .the action of the Chicago teachers at .the meeting in Boston two years ago when Mrs. Ella Flagg Yonug was elected president. The Chicago teachers were given a chance to answer the charges. After allegations of fraud, .bad faith, misrepresentation and arbitrary rulings had been hurled back and forth for a time, the progressive element won its fight, the Shepard .charges being quieted, bo far as the directors go, for all time. After the dispute had waged for four hours, a resolution to withhold from the records President Pearce's report, so far as It attacked Secretary Shepard, and to withhold all debate over the secretary's report and that part of the "report regarded as an attack on the Chicago faction, was adopted. The resolution also directed that the whole affair be regarded, so far as the board i3 concerned, a closed chapter. The conservatives had planned to offer a resolution refusing the right of active members, not of thirty days' standing, to vote at the annual meeting today. The resolution was not offered and, the prpgressives will go into the meeting with their full voting rtrength.

WOMEN IN PORTUGAL.

They Do All the Hard Work Whiis Lazy Man Loll and Smoke. .The lot of womeu iu Portugal is uot an enviable one. according to Mr. Au , brey F. C. Hell, who iu his book. "In Portugal." thus ; descri lies the labor 'that falls to their share: "Portuguese men are so notoriously indolent that it is no exaggeration to say that two-thirds of the work of Portugal is done by-women. To them the Portuguese word niourejar is really applicable, .since, in fact, they work like Moors or' sli:os. They work in the fields and appear to boar the brunt of the labor. "In one field the woman iu the heat of the day draws bucket after buck et of water while the man sits perched in a shady olive tree. " In the neighbor ins field a mnn watches six women at work among the maize. In a third n group of women stand working in the summer sun while a group of men sit at the same work under n vine trel lis. "Everywhere are to be seen women with huge loads of immense weight, while the men accompany them empty handed. The man lies in his ox cart and must have u cigarro and a cope of wine or brandy after his hard day's work, or he sits at his counter and bids his .wife go out into the cruel sunshine to fetch a heavy bilten of water or other provisions. Women work in the quarries. Women row heavy barges. Wherever there is bard work women are to be found."

Sashes and Streamers. A charming uovelty is a long sash of liberty satin that fell some distance beyond the gown of the wearer and formed a sort of little train. We shall probably see many of thest sashes this summer on the lighter frocks the spotted net, the marquisette and the like. Sometimes, however, the streamer will take its rise on the hat. and this is ijuite a9 picturesque and graceful, though it has th inconvenience of dragging the hat backward and disarranging the hair. For both purposes soft satin is used. On the hat It starts as the trimming of an immense capeline of fine straw, tuscan or chip, tied In a monstrous two looped bow at the back,' and thence one long end descends to the ground. One woman who had adopted this hat had fastened her ribbon en route to her left shoulder with a diamond safety pin, leaving a fairly loose curve to allow of any movements of the bead and not disturb the set of tho hat
