sky . . .” According to Philip Wylie,
noted author, our college education
will not make us better wives after
we get that man!
Ill the- December Cosmopolitan
our friend Mr. 'Wylie says a college
education for women is decidedly
detrimental! Studying and 'examin
ing statistical tables, he concludes
that a college education will prob
ably make a girl “less happy, more
foolish, not very knowledgable and
of far less value to the human race.”
Then there are statistics which
show that college educated women
are more likely to be spinsters;
that their chances of divorce are
greater; and that as mothers they
are total failures and do not pro
duce enough children “to replace
themselves and their husbands.”
Wylie continues that “At college
. . . the girl loses four of the years
that are biologically best for bearing
children. Again, at college, she is
alienated from the life of the home
and from community life for four
years—in an artificial environment
where she ceases to know children,
to tend them and even to see them.
During that period her interest is
concentrated upon herself—her stud
ies, sports, pleasures, beaus, social
successes, marks and so on. Matur
ity is arrested here; there is no need
for it. She has all the pleasures of
adult independence but none of its
responsibilities and the temptation
to make of herself her own spoiled
child is almost irresistible.”
Wylie sums up his article: “Edu
cation of the bruin without educa-
■ tion of the personality is a modern
madness.”
According to Mr. Wylie a col
lege girl seems to be a dull egotist
who so strives for personal pos
sessions and pleasures that she
cannot see beyond her next date
and new clothes. She seems to be
a hard self-centered overgrown
child who will never settle down.
AVell, Mr. Wylie, never in her life
is one more settled. At college a
girl learns to live on a budget, to use
correct English, to organize mate
rial and people, to govern herself, to
be intelligent, well-read, and aware
of the times. And as for “educa
tion of the brain without education
of the personality”—sliarj) wit does
not come from dull minds; and it
stands to reason that living in a
dorm with other girls develops so
ciability and ability to get along
with others and understand them.
Yes sir—we want these men. And
we think we’re developing ourselves
at Saint Mary’s to be better wives
and more interesting mothers.
