U.S. Women Key Exhibit At Clemnents By BAERT BRAND Glimpses into the lives of some American women in history pro- vide an approach on paper by the Clements' Library to underline the current University series portray- ing "Women in the World of Man." Highlighting women in history, for instance, are two letters, one by Martha Washington and another by Mrs. Paul Revere. Martha Washington, who in 1781 wrote to her home at Mount Vern- on, inquires about the state of af- fairs in the household. The letter by Mrs. Paul Revere is to her husband in Boston and is dated 1775. Indian Capture In pre-Revolution times Indians captured two women. whose exper- iences were subsequently recorded and now are on display in book form at the Library. One was Mrs. Elizabeth Hanson, who with her four children and servant-maid, was taken captive. The other was Mrs. Mary Jami- son captured by Indians in 1755 at the age of 12. A book printed by Mrs. John Peter Zenger, wife of the editor who was tried by the crown in defense of freedom of the press, which is on display is representa- tive of the character of the work she did after her husband's death. Historical copies of the music of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and the "United States Marine March" composed by A Lady of Charleston are also among the exhibitions. Approaching the present, writ- ings on Women Suffrage and the rights and education of women are included. From the Civil War Period sev- eral letters present were written by the Grimke sisters of South Caroline depicting their ardor in fighting slavery. Other books represent the wo- man as author, poetess, playwright, novelist and essayist. All the mat- erial for the exhibitions belongs to the Clements' Library.

Schimmel, director of the Munici- pal Advisory Council, proposed Friday that school design in Mich-I igan be standardized to save1 money.1 Addressing the Michigan State1 College governmental workshop,1 Schimmel said Michigan school districts are not getting as much school space as they could with1 the dollars they spend. They spent 100 million dollars this year. Some schools are being built1 "in a hodge-podge fashion and by architects "who may never have built anything more than a gas station before." School bond at- torneys often are not familiar with bonding procedures, he said. Opposition to school standardi- zation, Schimmel said, comes from "local pride and architects." The cost of Michigan schools ranged from $12,000 to $30,000 a room, he said. Dr. Clyde M. Campbell of Mich- igan State's department of educa- tional administration, said t h e State Department of Public In- struction passes on all local school plans, but he objected to stan- dardized school systems. The trend, he said, should be toward experimentation instead. MSC, Wayne University and the University of Michigan all have experts a°ailable to advise local school boards on school plans, Dr. Campbell said. Robert W. Richards, member of the East Lansing School Board, said a yardstick for measuring the quality of teachers would h e 1 p school boards know how much to pay them. William Emerson, Iakland County school superintendent, said the people have never contemplated a standard educational program. Benson Sunburned WASHINGTON WA'-Secretary of Agriculture Benson suffered a heavy sunburn last weekend and has been undergoing treatment at 'the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md. since Wednesday, an aide said Friday night. The secretary is expected to leave the hospital Saturday. The total funds put away by private industry for retirement of employes has been estimated re- cently at $17 billion by several sources.
