Does Woman's Work Lie Exclusive
ly Within the Home Circle?

The Rev. DR.. Ii. Morgan Dix, of New
York city, has lately uttered an emphat-
ic protest against the growing cause of
womsn's rights, and has declared his
belief that woman's duty lies exclusively
within the home circle, and not in the
worlds larger field Of work without. His
criticisms have aroused considerable an
tagonism among the reformers of New
York city, and some of the rctors are
very interesting. The Rev. Charles H.
Eaton, OF the Church Of the Divine Pa
ternity, said that men themselves were
responsible, to q great extent, for the
modern fashionable and helpless woman.
"From time immemorial," said he, 1--WE
have permitted women to do little more
than make themselves beautiful to the
eye of man. They have always been
treated as the toys Of husbands, and they
have been taught to believe that unless
they were beautiful in face and form they
were not worthy OF that for which all
women naturally yearn, the love and es-
teen of men. We have trampled on them
and invited them to become fashionable
toys of our own amusement, and the
origin Of the fashionable woman is to be
attributed largely to this treatment Of
them by the opposite sex.
SIT has seemed to me a very sad
thing that from one Of the most promi-
nent and historical pulpits in this city.
and from the lips Of one Of the most
honored and learned of our clergy, ideas
have been advanced in regard to the
proper work of women, which, if they
were universally adopted, would make
it impossible for her to do anything at
all as an individual. 1t has been de-
clared that woman has no need of o
higher education than that which she
now receives, and that she should
devote herself to the work for
which she was created, the making OF
homes and the bearing of children. God
be thanked that the great work of wo-
man lies in this noble spherel But God
be thanked also that in this age OF pro-
gress the idea is steadily gaining that a
higher education should be open to
women, so that the thousands OF them
who can never marry. and will never be
ab.o to make home, may stand as in
dividuals, strong-minded and self reliant.
