A London Paper Takes up the Cudgeis II
Defence of the Former.

The Pail Mall Gazette takes up the cud-
gels on behalf of woman in her battle with
DR.. Dix and deals the latter some telling
blows. In closing its consideration of the
doctors arraignment of woman the Gazette
says:
That there are many girls in New York
as In London, Paris and every other centre
Of wealth and luxury-as despicable as those
whom DR.. Dix describes, Is true enough, and
pity tits tits true. But that this picture of
the American girl applies to any more than
the mere fringe of the sex We altogether re-
fuse to believe. The worst of it is that DR..
Dix himself and men of that way of think
Ing are partly answerable for this abnormal
development of female folly. DIR. Dix has
just been distinguishing himself by heading
the opposition-which has unfortunately
been successful-to the admission of women
to Columbia College. Notwithstanding the
success of NEWMAN and Girton, and of the
Woman's Annex at Harvard, 1t has pleased
DR.. Dix and others to denounce the higher
education of woman as If 1t were certain to
result in the ruin of the sex. Women in his
opinion ought to regard the love, admiration
aud happiness of man as the chief end of
their being; and a well-educated woman, he
seems to believe, judging, perhaps, from his
own feelings, would be much less attractive
10 mankind than her more ignorant sister. 1t
is that kind of teaching which leads directly
to the ''immolation of the child in society
which DR.. Dix so bitterly laments, He
would shat them out from all but social am
billions, and an exaggerated devotion to So
ciety is the natural result. Almost all the
abuses which he assails are due to the lack
of the higher and wider education which he
resolutely denies. 1t is in vain for any one
to preach that either man or woman exists
solely for the benefit of some one else. Each
individual exists also for him or herself, and
marriage ought no more to be the sacrifice of
the woman TO the man, as DR.. Dix main
tains, than the sacrifice of the man to the
woman. 1t is idle to deplore sordid views
of marriage when declaiming against the
opening of other means of livelihood to wo-
man. 1t is somewhat odd notion that ii
women are as we'll educated as men they
will be less likely to live happily together in
married life. Incompatibility of temper is
recognized in some States as legitimate
ground for divorce; but it is reserved to DR..
Dix and men of that school to regard equal
ity of education as fatal bar TO happy mar
RACES.
