DAUGHTERS. An intelligent writer
says: "It is not possible to over
estimate the advantages which would
result from men in trades and pro-
LESSONS allowing their daughters
some participation in the work of
their daily lives. What girls want
is larger observation of the world
and deeper knowledge of human
nature. There are few of our mer-
chants and manufacturers and pro-
fessiohal men who could not largely
avail themselves of the services of
their educated and competent daush-
tiers; and if such services could be
rendered generally available, it is
not too much to say that a wider and
moro fertile social life would arise
for mankind. Mems occupations
would in no sense be prejudiced,
while women would at once find
that outlet for their faculties for
which SO many of them have been SO
long striving. A certain RESPONSE
bility would increase their self-re-
lance. A capacity for earning would
remove their sense of dependence.
and a definite occupation would
bring forth health and cheerfulness,
and the larger experiences of life
would give force and completeness
to their mental character.
