A second hefore the Senate chamhers had resounded with the arguing voices of harassed lawmakers. Wrzingling had laeen going on for hours. and the Senators were tired, irritahle, and making little headway. At the very moment when the furor had reached hurricane proportions, the quiet, modulated voice of thc Senator from Maine reached out and stilled the storm. May l have the floor, Mr. Vice' President? Continuing in calm hut compelling tones the Senator outlined a plan to remedy the difficulty and to appease hoth factions. The Senator was a woman. Although the situation may not he so dramatic, this type of thing is taking place today in high schools, too.
