Reading for Women.
Boston Record.


Women all over the country have found meal
culable help in the popular reading classes and
arrangements for studies by correspondence It
IS true that the sort of scholarship to be gained
from the too often careessly written books about
authors in these popular series is not of the
highest kind. But in country homes
and in isolated places have found much intel
lectnal food in the readings of the Chataueuan
and other societies. 1t is not unusual TO find in
remote country corners women absorbed in
wearing domestic cares who have still a constant
hunger for at least degree of mental life. To
these the movements of the last FIVE years
towards general education have proved a
godsend Cheap literature is to be decried
In many cases. perhaps in most cases; but
the cheapening of editions of the best authors,
giving country women the chance to read the
works to which women in town have access in
public libraries, is nothing less than a national
blessing 1t is from the country that the best
intellectual life of cities is recruited. Country
mothers, therefore, have more influence on the
mental development of the nation than iowa
mothers and it is good thing for them to have
this increase of neurishing mental food,
The spiritual life of country is often
cultivated at too great an expense of the intel
lectual. Their weekly church service is their
only respite from the hard facts of their
everyday working life. The introduction of
fortnightly reading class gives new zest to
their lives The histories of Motley, and Pres
colt. and Carlyle give them a relation TO modern
existence missed in exclusive study of Kings
and Chronicles. and the poetry of the singers Of
citation of the inspired p0eJs when they return
to these. There is something tragic and pitiful
in the life of a woman who likes to read and
who is denied access to books. There is much
that is hopeful for this class in the present popu-
lar movement in literature.
