A v\'!’u:;g in*'u<-‘n;e in the I'.rly yc'ars be tween childhood and young girlhood spoils the woman.” Mrs. Wilcox adds that young girls cotjld but be forced into jirecocious tendencies If placed in continual assoeiation with the opposite sex din’in^r that important stage of th(>ir development. The subject is open to wide differ ences of opiiuon, but it would seem that if it is not good for boys to grow up like girls, a fact universally conced ed outside of the circle of I^ittle Lord Fauntleroy cult, neitlier is it good for girls to grow tip like l)oys. The tend ency of school authorities, however, seems to be to expe(.*t them to do the work of boys at school and to irabibe a like spirit of restlessness and ambi tion. On a higlier plane of progress a speaker addressing a convention of tea<'hers In Chicago recently advised young women not to marry until they could support n husband. This is fniukly accepting man’s sphere as the destiny for woman. The argument is not new, for It Is Identical Avith that of the promoters of higher education for woman when they declare that woman should be trained to take care of herself In every emer gency, as spinsterhood« widowhood and ipaii'd boys, apart; -V bov :ind saf('guanh‘d like that of ‘•Love is of man's life a tiling ’tis woiiian’s whoh* existence.” v»ill marry an;i co:!;<‘ to him self by hustling: a girl marries and comes to liei'si'ii by lideliiy. devoln)n and sulTering. <)ut of oiu* or :;1! o!' these virtues will <IeveIoi) str<*?iu(h for any and e'^ery ordc':;!.

Furthermore, tlie competition of the postolfice departments in (Jermany and (ireat Britain results in a nuich lower railroad and express company tariff for parcels than oI>tains in the United States.

Every com munity has its capable, managing, suc cessful widowed mothers who were reared primarily for the domestic cir cle. In the hour of need they had the strength to meet the occasion—strength bom of what once would have been counted a weakness, their affection and devotion. The future for girls cannot be antlc- march of Mukden. With the thermom eter at 10 degrees below zero and bliz zards raging the most of the time, human beings could not live im tents, so the Russian and Japanese soldiers have gone back to the primitive age of man and taken refuge in “dugouts,” like those known to American pioneers a generation ago.

The number of Yale graduates who are busy In other than strictly learneil pursuits shows that higher education does not necessarily lead to bookish- ness. About 25 per cent of the grad uates now In active life have taken to manufacturias and commercial pur suits. There are 254 farmers among the graduates as against journalists and authors, a few^ more manufacturers than doctors and as many financiers as ministers. The law holds the greatest number, but the lawyers are outnum- beretl by those engaged In nonprofes- sional callings. The Indiana legislature Is discussing the advisability of taxing bachelors.
