The President stated that the store be-

this result to the dulhess OF the summer trade aud

well known advocate OF women's rights 'On the
supposed differences in the mind of the two sexes of
man." Miss Becker is of opinion that there are no
such differences, and she complained strongly
though with much good hum0r, OF the way in which
women are treated, owing to the false views the
subject which are held by men. IL was generally ad.
mitted she said, that girls as well boys should
taught to read and WRITE Yet the notion OF in.eri-
GRITTY IN feminine requirements underlays all educa-
tional legislation. The propositions which she de-
sired to submit were three in number:-First, that
the attribute OF sex did not extend to mind, that
there was no distinction between the intellects OF
men and women corresponding to and dependent on
the special organization Of their bodies; second,
that any broad marks OF distinction which may at
the present time be observed to exist between the
minds OF men collectively were fairly traceabe to
the influence of the different circumstances under
which they passed their lives and could not be
proved to nhere in each class in virtue OF SEX third
that In spite OF tile external circumstances which
tended TO cause divergence In the tone of mind,
habits OF thought and opinions OF men and women,
1t was matter OF fact that these did not differ
among persons OF opposite sexes than they did
among persons OF the same sex. In Illustration she
