The Winchester Measure.
The Winchester measure, a term sel
dom if ever used in this country,
though common in England, refers to
the fact that away back In the reign
of Edgar that king established a legal
standard measure for the prosecution
of fraud. The standard vessels were
by royal order kept in the city of Win
chester, heuce the "Winchester meas
ure" of the time of Henry VII. The
standard of measure In the United
States is based on that of the mother
country. The last standard weights
and measures act of England was pass
ed in 18"5. many of the old rules be
ing still iu force in that country. New

Drinking Fountains.
Drinking fountains' are of modern
origin. Amoug the earliest were those
erected in Liverpool about 18"7 The
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain asso
elation was formed in London in 1ST!1
by Lord John Russell. Mr S. (Jurney
and others In the "brave days of old"
little consideration was had for the
"public." One of the most interesting
and encouraging signs of the times is
found in the fact that such consilient
Uon is nowadays In all rivillzeu coon
tries well nigh omnipotent, causing the
"public servants'" to look after the
comfort of the master they so long
contemptuously ignored. New York

The Evolution of the
Schoolma'm
Those of us who remember her of
more than 25 years ago cannot help
looking at her modern successor with
wonder and a little of the suspicion
with which the old regard the new.
How daintily she tripped upon the
country lane toward the white school
house to begin her day's work!
There was nothing in her appearance
to distinguish her from the ordinary
country lass except the thoughtful
brow betokening deeper incursions
in the realm of learning. If her wider
mental reach impressed her with a
sense of superiority among the youth
of the land she certainly was too well
bred to vent it in words.
At that time fads and fashions could
not enter through the sacred portals
of the school house. Studies were
not obscured and colored by the frip
peries of so called embellishement.
Arithmetic consisted in clear state
emnts of the relation between numb
ers; grammar was a plain elucidation
of the principles of language; and
spelling was held in such high esteem
that perfection in it was an object of
pride to young and old. All methods
bore the stamp of the directness and
the common sense of that generation.
The influence of the school ma'm
was not limited by the walls of the
school room. Her authority in mat
ters of learning was supreme in the
community. In a dispute about
points in obstruse knowledge she was
the oracle to know the truth. She
was also credited with a keen discern
ment of the nicer proprieties of life
among her sex, and as a moral light
she stood not far below the minister.
Despite all this, she did not deem
it beneath her dignity to be on the
look out for "the right man" to pop
the question so interesting to the fem
inine mind. And when he came she
graciously accepted him and stepped
from her pedestal to perform the du
ties of the housewife which were not
drudgery because she did not think
they were. She had reason for ac
cepting the shelter of a home. Never
could she hope to build one of her own
efforts, for though her wages were
equal to those of a good hired man,
teaching usually was limited to the
winter months. Happily she looked
for her chief reward in the growth
and fruitage of the seeds she con
scientiously sowed.
Why the modern teacher (she re
sents the name schoolma'm) receives
at least double the pay of the pres
en hired man is seldom explained at
this age when most of us are either
too busy or too lazy to search for
causes. It sertainly is not justified
by results. The standard of intelli
gence has not risen. The young gen
eration swallows patent medicine, and
is fleeced at bargain counters and by
political grafters even more than was
the old. But the teacher, at any rate
is an up to date woman. Intelligent
rather then intellectual, world-wise
rather than book-wise. She may be
looked upon as the embodiment of
woman's new won independence.
Whether a suffragette at heart or not
she is too shrewd to pose as one.
Moreover she knows that additional
rights and authority mean additional
duties and responsibility, and that wo
man can get more by asking than by
demanding. Like most of us now-a-days
the teacher measures the reward
for her labors chiefly by the figure on
her monthly check and we cannot
blame her for being like the rest of
us.
. Whatever may be her faults, she
never lacks politeness nor does she
disdain the other sex. She would ev
en consent to marry one if there
were any personal gain in the tran
saction. But it is clear as moon-light
that the average man is her inferior
in intelligence and in earning power,
and what woman who is able to stand
alone would lean upon someone less
strong than herself? But her mother
was married and all her grandmothers
before her up to Eve. Some how it
runs in the family and heredity is a
mighty force. Let us wait and see.
