A Short Series of Biographies of Great Mothers for Whom No Day Was Set Aside But Whose Children Were the Reward Perfect (This series was prepared by the Golden Rule Mothers' Day committee, of which Mrs. James Roosevelt is honorary chairman. The committee, which is sponsoring the nat on-wide observance of Mothers' Day "the Golden Rule Way" today, suggests the following paraphrase Golden Rule: "Whatsoever you would that others should do for your mother if she were in need, and whatsoever your mother would do for the needy if she had opportunity, do on Mothers' Day for other mothers and children, victims of present-day economic EDITORIAL SECTION CAMPUS EVENTS This week-end has proven to be with fraternity men hosting six of groups took this occasion also to social affairs. Those who chose were evidently more in favor with and warm nights, made to order for roof garden and out-of-door dances, were prevalent. This week also has seen practically every honorary organization and otherwise, in the hands of new executives, officers being elected to serve for the school year, and new members being recognized and initiated.

Shortly there will be nothing heard but the rattling of pages being perused at length, and not much seen of students except under the glare of lights burning until midnight and past, in preparation for lastof-the-college-year-exams. A custom, which practically all of the bigger college cities have been enjoying for the past several years, will be instigated in Tucson Sunday, May 19, at the Pioneer roof garden. It is to be called a Fratogether dansant, which will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 Sundays and bids are already being issued to the different fraternities on the campus. The tea dansant was first tried at the Blossom Heath night club in Oklahoma City for the high school sororities and fraternities in 1930, but has been taken up since then by the larger hotels and clubs. This custom should prove a popular one here and will provide interesting entertainment for the late afternoon hours on Sunday.

Mary Ball, descended from a good English family, was called "the rose of Epping Forest" in her girlhood, Epping Forest being the name of the Ball homestead.

Orphaned early, she had as her guardian, George Eskridge, a wealthy Virginia planter. Mary Ball Washington was sixtyeight when the revolution began. Since communication was then 50 primitive, she often did not know for months at a time whether her son was dead or alive. Yet she maintained outward calm and courage. One of her sayings was, "The mothers and wives of brave men must be brave women." The members of her household knew, though, that every day she went off by herself with her Bible to a quiet spot called Meditation Rock.

Mary Ball Washington lived to be over eighty, mentally keen and unfailingly cheerful. She died in 1789, the year her son was elected first president of the United States.

A little girl, reared In poverty in the backwoods of Virginia, destined for a brief and none too happy life, was to grow up and bear a child whose career more than fulfilled all her highest dreams for him. In a community where many of the men could neither read nor write, she learned to do both. Between this child and this backwoods mother there was a powerful bond of sympathy. They understood each other without words.

Perhaps she felt in him her own fierce hunger for learning, for larger, richer world. "Abe's mind and mine, what little I have, seem to run together," she is reported to have said once. She was thirty-four years old and Abraham Lincoln was nine, when she fell ill. In seven days, she was dead. Abraham helped his father to make her coffin out of green lumber cut with a whipsaw, helped to bury her in a forest clearing.

There was no ceremony. This troubled the boy, until, several months later, they secured a wandering preacher to deliver a funeral mon over the lonely grave. ONE SS. Peter and Paul church daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

A gentlewoman, she was brought up to refinment and wealth, and no one more than she apreciated the advantages of good society. She made an excellent match when she married the well-to-do William Edward Nightingale. Every opportunity that wealth and social position could provide was open. Florence found the superficial routine of her life revolting. In her nature there was a need for sacrifice, intensity, beyond what an average marriage and social activity could offer her.

She desired to become a nurse and to serve the poor in the slums. To the pretty, conventional mother's way of thinking, this idea was appalling. Mrs. Nightingale, finally convinced that Florence's real happiness must come through a career, was magnanimous enousbeto, admit that her opposition wrong.

Presentation of Certificates and Awards. Farewell to Thee--Arranged from NANCY ELLIOTT EDISON Nancy Elliott Edison was glad that, before her marriage, she had had experience teaching in a public high school in Vienna, Canada. Now that would help her in teaching her son, frail little Thomas Alva. Because of his uncertain health, he had not been allowed to go to school as early as other children. Finally, when he did go, he couldn't get the hang of things.

So she began giving him lessons at home. Neighbors passing by would see them sitting out on the front porch of the Edison house, absorbed. Nancy Elliott Edison's early decision to conduct her son's education herself was in his own opinion the factor which led to all his subsequent development as the foremost inventor of his time. In later years, when he had come to be known as the Wizard of Menlo park he recalled the childhood tragedy of his failure in school, and his mother's loyal comforting. "I determined right then and there that I would be worthy of her confidence," he Before she 1871, given her saidad ample justification for her faith.

Mothers' Day for other mothers and MARGARET STEVENSON Six-year-old Robert Louis Stevenson had not yet learned how to write when one day an uncle announced he would give a prize to that one among his nieces and nephews who did the best essay on Moses. "Will you write it down for me?" Robert Louis asked his mother.

Margaret Isabella Balfour Stevenson's reply probably influenced the whole life of her delicate little son. Five Sundays she devoted to putting down the story as he told it to her. It won the prize. "I'm going to be an author!" said Robert Louis. Thirty-four years later he was a world figure in literature, and part at least of his success may fairly be attributed to his mother's encouragement and practical aid.

In his adolescent struggle with his father, who proposed a career at engineering as against Robert Louis' own choice of literature, Margaret Stevenson gave her son sympathy. At Thanksgiving dinner, he said of her: "Here on my right sits she whom (with no lessening of affection for others to whom I cling) I love better than all the world besides -my mother." of the ABIGAIL ALCOTT ELIZABETH GURNEY FRY A pretty, high-spirited girl, Elizabeth Gurney loved to ride horseback about the English country lanes near her father's house, wearing a scarlet riding habit; and she revelled in the possession of a gay pair of purple satin boots with crimson laces. But there was much seriousness in her nature too; and at the age of twenty she abandoned frivolity, devoted herself to Quakerism, and married a devout member of the Society of Friends, Joseph Fry. For many years most of her energy went to her home and children, of whom she had eleven. Her love for her fellow-beings, however, was so vast that it overflowed the family circle.

In 1813, the people of England were becoming aware of terrible conditions in their prisons. Mrs. Fry asked permission to visit the women criminals in Newgate, a notorious London jail. She won the prisoners by her simple friendliness, and introduced reforms which included a school, regular supervised work, and religious services. Next, Mrs.

Fry extended her reforms to convict ships. As a direct result of her labors, For five minutes every day, Leah Salomon Mendelssohn gave a music lesson to her two older children, Felix and his sister Fanny, not knowing that some day her teaching would bear fruit in such music as "Elijah," the "Hebrides" Overture, and the famous orchestral setting for Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." Leah Mendelssohn was herself an accomplished musician, though she played and sang only in private and friends. She was richly cultured. In addition to her native German, she spoke and read French, English and Italian. She could, and did, read Homer in the original Greek.

Frau Mendelssohn was also distinguished for her tact and wit, helped to make memorable the Sunday evening musicales at their luxurious home in the Leipzigerstrasse, Berlin. Here she gathered about her an illustrious circle of friends, musicians, diplomats and literary men. This is what her husband once wrote of her: "Your mother," he said. "is to all of us a providential loving star, and our path of life." LEAH MENDELSSOHN In "Little Women" Louisa May Alcott painted a word-portrait of her mother: "A stout, motherly lady with a look about her which was truly delightful. She was not a particularly handsome person, but mothers are always lovely to their children." That was what the four Alcott sisters thought, at any rate.

Abigail Alcott, the wife of the New England educator and philosopher, had many, loving endearing and qualities. sympathetic, She had a fine sense of fun not overshadowed by her lofty ideals. Her sense of humor was fortunate, for her also loftily idealistic husband often left her burdened with material cares. So it was when under his leadership "Fruitlands," an experimental agricultural colony, was established at Harvard, Massachusetts, with eleven colonists, including the Alcotts. Mrs.

Alcott took care of them all, and her constant foresight kept the colony going. When it finally disbanded, she went to Boston and became what would today be called a social worker. Mrs. Alcott had three simple rules by which she brought up her four daughters: "Rule yourself. Love your neighbor.

the duty which lies nearest you." A.
