Concerning women and men as
equals Ruskin says: I'VE are foolish
and without excuse in claiming the su-
periority of our sex to the other; In
truth. each has what the other has not
One completes the other and they are
in nothing alike. The happiness Of
both depends on each asking and re-
ceiving from the other what the other
only can give" Thackeray drew this
contrast: almost all women will give
a sympathizing ear to men who are in
love. BE they ever so old they grow
young again in that conversation and
renew their own early time. Men are
not quite so generous. Voltaire said.
''All the reasonings Of men are not
worth one sentiment of women"
Gladstone says: ..Woman is the most
perfect when most womanly." DIR.
Clarke says: Man is no superior to
woman nor woman to man. The rela-
ton Of the sexes is one of equality, not
Of better or worse or Of higher or lower.
The loftiest ideal of humanity demands
that each shall be perfect of its kind.
and not be hindered in its best work.
The lily is not inferior to the rose, nor
the oak to the clover. yet the glory OF
the lily is one and the glory Of the oak
is another; and the use of the oak is not
the use Of the clover. - 81. Louis
