Shall Women ; To College.
One of the reasons for disap
proval brought against the higher
education for women by its assail
ants, is that the training of the
intellect chills the heart of . woman
and renders her in capable of deep
feeliug. That the college woman
invariably ' eeomes cold and Nhnrd
hearted under the strain of in-
teeling. She feels just sua deeply.
It simply shows tint she has re
ceived the higher edueitiou. The
truly educated
woman. To be (sure we get the
real education is no difficult matter,
since the secret lies in the fact that,
"we bring what we see." That the
value of our education is intlunced
from within ourselves altogether.
In view of thes.' facts we must de
cide then that women shall go to
college and have the benefit of the
higher learning. Though some of
the charges brought against the
college woman are tiue, and admit
ting all the faults of our sex in
professional life, yet, ''remembering
our frame, that we aie dust," and
stand.

Mr. Julius C. Keaves was born Ortoler

08 years 11 moulhs and 23 days. Mr.
Reaves was uu industrious man, always
cheerful when in health. 1I was a goed
neighbor always ready to help in time or
need. Though he sulTered n great deal
during his last illness, he boro it with
Christian fortitude and he often spoke of his
conversion and of his hope of Heaven. He
expressed himself as being ready and will
ing to meet his Lord, shouting and praising
liod for making his way so clear.

this matter had becoiiH very

rashness in dress the constant
social strain are responsible, if there
is undue breaking of health among
college girls. This, to my mind,
is the most serious charge that the
opponents of higher education can
bring. The most serious because
the most true. Anil I suppose
our educational privilege have!"11'1 thl? millennium shall come
done like the man who, desiring
examine a bird, took a feather, got
down with a microscope and con
cluded that the bird was an ugly
bird because he saw nothing very
attractive about the feather. They
have taken note of a few instances
where the higher education has not
paiticularly made for the best in
woman; probably a few where it
has actually secm?d to make for
the worse. They have not had the
grace to wait until they could ex
amine the whole bird at once.
They have promptly decided that
high learning is a h d thing for
women because some poor, vain
creature has undertaken the quest
and come home from college with a
few degrees, a short skirt, extended
soles, an Alpine hat, and a steely
glint iu her eye; who is able to
take the hand of a good-looking
inau with a bear-grip and talk
business to him without blushing.
The Wrong Spirit.
If a womau goes after knowledge
actuated only by a desire to be bet
ter edncated than her bisters solely
that she may be looked up to by
them and that they may stand iu
awe of her and if she separates
the idea of knowledge from life and
love why then she has before her
eyes a mist of selfishness and of evil
design. She cannot grow into
perfect womanhood. She sees and
copies in her achievement and in
her life just what she brings to
bear upon them Belfishness and
vanity. And so, from such ill
seeking after the higher leiruing,
comes the result so harped upon by
its opponents coldness, indifference,
narrow-mindedness. And we may
admit that some of our college
women are not guiltless of being
spurred on to higher education by
selfishness and vanity perhaps.
Yet, this is not the rule.
Actual Situation.
What the college education does
for woman is to extinguish all
plebeian display from hei natu-e.
Long years of earnest research and
discipline in college tends to make
a young woman graver and less
demonstrative perhaps. But, why?
Because she ha learned the lesjon
of eelf-control, of self-sacrifice, (for
there can be no earnest seeking
after knowledge without sasritiee),
which enlarges her capacity for
emotion. Her feelings lie deeper
than those of her uneducated
Bisters. She does not weep in the
market places. The higher she
has climbed up the ladder of
culture and professional ability,
the more certainly she knows that
the emotions of life are too sacred
to be vaunted before the eyes of
the world. Sue wants to get away
from the world when she weeps;
and it is a natural law of her
womanliness to be calm and serene
before the public. But this power
to hi Je her emotions from the world
d(H8 not lessen her capacity fori

fore breaking of health, among a
certain element, in college or out.
But, there are girls who do not live
on the butterfly side of life in col
lege. These who order their Jnes
often by rigid, self-imposed dis
cipline as well as by the it itiirements
of the co'lege. Kor are they by
any means iu the minority, and it
is they who constitute the element
by which we must' measure the
higher education for women.
