SLAVES OF CUSTOM Men Loll About in Luxurious Idleness While Wives Work in Fields. J- IP I I llll CAIRO, July 24. While a very few . Egyptian women are married to men who have imbibed western education for themselves, and have out of their own country the right to go shopping and to theatres and other public places unveiled, even these In their own land are cut off from all intercourse with men save those of their own household, and never appear out of their own homes unless closely veiled. Many of these women are highly educated and pass examinations sim

ilar to those passed by their brothers and fathers; but their education is of little use to them,, after they have left their schools or their governesses, beyand making many of them bitterly discontented with their lot. An eastern man, however educated, never regards a woman as an equal. She Is there, she is created for his needs, his pleasure. If it amuses her In her youth to learn French and English, to know something of science and history, well and good; but she belongs to another world from himself, and he would as soon think of discussing anything with her or taking her opinions seriously as he would that of a certified lunatic. Against this attitude of man the Egyptian woman Is beginning to make her first feeble protest and revolt. Those who have learned of history and art in their youth are making a valiant effort to continue their learning in after life, by forming little societies among themselves for mutual help and instruction, even arranging for lectures and papers to be read by their menkind, who think that wom

an's one and only function is to be mate and mother and slave to man's comfort. v Amongst the lower classes it is the women who do the greatest part of the

work, while the men spend their days In luxurios idleness. For not only do women do the work of the houses to dignify their squalid furnitureless mud huts, who fetch the water from long distances, but they also work long hours in the fields.

Children, Romp, Play, Fight at Will in This New School

BY KNICKERBOCKER. 1 NEW YORK, July 24. What would you think of a school where children are allowed to do just as they please? Where a boy stealing jam is simply asked to consider whether he has done wrong? Where two pupils having a fist fight in the class room are asked whether It would not, show more regard for their teacher and the other boys and girls If they went into the playyard to battle? Where a girl dancing the tango in the middle of the recitation room and singing an accompaniment is admonished gravely, but allowed to proceed if she pleases? Where each boy or girl can do just

what particular leBson seems most to his or her liking, and can drop the

study of geography to peer through a microscope at will? Discovers School.

Yet just exactly these and even

more remarkable doings are on view in the school of anarchists' children In East One Hundred and Seventh street, I found today. I had heard about these things but scarcely believed. So I went up myself to find out. As I was talking to Mrs. Cora Bennett Stephenson, the teacher, a boy of 12 got up, whispered in the ear of a girl of 10 and led her to an open place. They proceeded to do a very spirited dance, the name of which I do not know. The other pupils applauded furiously. "Maria, Giuseppe, don't you see that dancing just now causes the other pu

pils v to - be distracted from their books? Don't you think it would be more sensible to dance this evening?" "Yes, Mrs. Stephenson," Giuseppe paused long enough to say, "but me and Maria felt just like dancing right now." "Very well, your spirits should not be repressed." Takes Awav Girl.

At this instant a dark-eyed boy,

sllKhtly larger than Giuseppe, left the

spectators of the dance and seized Ma

ria, wrested her from her partner ana whirled her in a new evolution.

Giuseppe was thrown to the floor, but he jumped up immediately and struck the newcomer a good uppercut

on the Jaw. The two boys were soon

having an excellent boxing bout, much

to the delight of Maria ana otners.

"Boys, boys, what a foolish thing to fight about. Maria is willing to dance

with both of you," sam Mrs. stepnen-

son. but without excitement.

"There, now, you have upset the

globe. Didn't you agree with me yesterday that the sidewalk was a much more appropriate place to decide quarrels than the study room?" But they went on unchecked. Mrs. Stephenson turned to me. "The Modern School has no rules or regulations. It is not authoritarian like the public schools, which cramps the child's mind and body. It is libertarian, v t 'We believe in the freedom of the child. We discuss with them what is right and wrong, but we never forbid them things and never punish them."

DOM'S MEMORY LAUDEDBYCONRAD Describes Dead Banker as Benefactor and Patron of

Aspirins:. . BY GEORGE W. B. CONRAD. "To live in the -hearts of those behind la not to die." These words of a great poet were never more applicable than in the case of Mr. John B. Dougan. Richmond has never had a citizen whom the whole community, irrespective of classes and conditions, as in Mr. Dougan's case, united in paying deference to his memory. No one ever went to him, proving himself worthy of assistance, and was turned away. He was generous to a fault. He possessed a character peculiar to himself, not found in many of our citizens, situated as he was. That is, his service to humanity seem

ed to be directed toward a desire to help those who were talented and worthy and who could, ultimately, through their talents, be serviceable to mankind. This was exemplified in

many cases brought to the writer's at-' tention in Richmond where Mr. Dougan trlbuted of bis own means to those whose lives gave promise of brilliant futures. The greatest benefactor to humanity is he who finds talent in the "rough" and enables It to develop so that It may become of service to mankind. He was especially thoughtful of the poor. We could recite numerous In

stances where his influence and sub

stantial help made it possible for some worthy member of our community to succeed. . His Christianity was practical in this respect, and the Biblical quotation, "He thai giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord," was never more fittingly applied than to him. If I were to decide upon a fitting inscription to be placed on his last resting place, I would simply say: "A practical advocate . of the immortal principle of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man."

Lauds Dougan's Memory in Verse

ONE CENT LONG. SEAFORD, Del., July 24. When Luther H. Clifton retired as postmaster the government advised him that a balance of one cent on his books was due to him. Recently Clifton was notified that unless he paid a shortage of .one cent he must face prosecution. He paid it to escape trouble. He is perplexed.

The appended lines were written anent the death of John B. Dougan by Walter H. Dennis:

The mighty oak has come to earth That has been the rendezvous For the poverty stricken since their birth. And those of endless Joys. Dame Nature planted In this tree A heart for every cry, " And none that came in poverty Could this great heart pass by. He knew no race, or color, or creed, By the clothes he wore or the color of the skin; But ambition and honest to him were the needs To make all men equal and mankind akin. He lived a life of usefulness, To his city, state and nation; And while the soul has gone to rest The .deeds of life will linger here for another generation.

News About Lynn Folks

OPPOSE JEW LIGHTS Young Men Dislike Searching Rays.

Certain young men in the city are opposed to the installation of any new kind of lighting system. They believe the present system entirely adequate and claim the method of testing various kinds of lights has caused them no little inconvenience. These complaints are most common from young men who have the habit of spending many of their evenings on front porches not attached to their own homes, and who can not afford the luxury of a motor car. They assert the searching rays of the new lights which have been placed on different . corners make it impossible even to conceal their low and hushed conversation.
