Women and girls dominate education and public service stories
The article highlights women's roles across the United States including enrollment figures at the University of Wisconsin, thousands of girls employed in Pennsylvania, and large numbers attending New York City night schools. It notes Margaret Wilson presiding over an American Civic association session, Betty Brown running a training establishment near Philadelphia for kind horse breaking, and E H Warriman funding educational campaigns for high-risk occupations. It also reports on the first major meeting of American women in Washington by the National Civic Federation, prospects for the Susan B Anthony amendment, California creating a women‑led court, Mana L Sanford recognized as a leading woman educator, and Mrs Isabella Gibbons becoming custodian of a ballot box in Pottsville. Reverend Albertie A Philips takes a Canada pastorate, with Miss Phillips to be the lone woman Universalist preacher in Canada.
