The Training that Girls Need.

Mrs. Abba Good Wooson has been
giving Boston some common-sense no
TONS about "The Training that Girls
Need" In paper read before the
Moral Education Society she pronounce
ed lll.health luxury that enormously
increased the cost Of living. She adj
vised mothers to keep their girls from
their own fate. and she asserted that
girls should he made to lead quiet
life on a simple diet until they are lully
grown, that they should exercise freely
in the open air, that house-work should
be done by them in carefully ventilated
rooms, that their dress should be radi-
eally changed so that no longer shall
their vital organs be compressed or
their hips weighed down with q mass Of
cloth that no man would willingly carry.
Compliance with these rules, she be-
ieved, would give to the world nobler,
healthier race of women. The object
Of u girls mental training should be,
she said, to enable her to reason, not TO
| fill her brain with superficial Ideas. The
processes applied to women's minds that
are now devoted to the education of
men, she considered, would bring the
same results. She advised that girls
pursue with thoroughncss the disciplin-
airy studies. Next to this she would
place the perceptive faculties, in which
woman is now much more proficient
than man. Woman should also be ac-
auainted more or less intimately with
physiology, natural philosophy, the laws
OF mechanics, chemistry, political econ
omy, the characteristics of a republican
form of government, rhetoric and nat
ural sciences, all OF which are far more
important to the girl than the modern
languages. First Of all parental duties,
Mrs. Woolson placed that Of fitting
children, and especially girls, to earn an
honorable living, no matter how wealthy
their family may be since no one is be-
yond the reach Of possible poverty.
