and the paternal aunt — all of it in the name of family and kinship! Lighten from us these chains that permit fathers to monopolize their children and dispose of them as they please, and permit children to grow up dependent, leaning on their fathers' influence, their kinsmen's money, and their grandfathers' lineage."

And with the tongue of the people: "Lift from us, rather, some of these family traditions that give the high official the right to appoint all his relatives to office, and hand over to certain families the right to monopolize offices and privileges, and give the examiner the right to pass the sons of his family and raise their grades in the examination; that oblige the voter to elect his kinsmen even when he is certain of their ignorance; and that impose upon you a person you do not know, but who, in the name of family and kinship, considers your service and your hospitality something owed to him. Deliver us from the chains of clan and tribe, which divide the sons of one village and one homeland and make of them hostile, rival blocs, and muster one folk against another for vengeance and retaliation, brawling and fighting! — so that we may see the error of the proverb, 'Stand by your brother even when he does wrong,' and the truth of the other saying, 'Stand by the right, even against yourself!'"

Here too there arose, in some newspapers, a movement resem-bling that one, on the pattern of parrot-like imitation. A group appeared whose members preach femininity and appeal to woman among us to be moderate in the matter of equality, for the preservation of her femininity and to ward off the danger of mannishness. What escaped these preachers is
