ors, in 1877, thought the health of the
young women deteriorated in the
university; they were ''deeply impress

which. in. their opinion, was caused by
undue mental strain.
The discussion of the subject brought
out the fact that the record of excuses
kept by the president showed that the
number of absences on account OF ILL
health was relatively greater among the
young men than among the young wom-

that the absence Of the young women

WHAT is WANTED.

EQUAL Work.

A Demand by Women for Equal Pay Tor
Equal Work.
Said Susan B. Anthony in recent
speech: "What we want in the world OF
work is not that women be allowed to
do this or to do that, but that they may
get the same pay that men get for doing
the same work. The trades and profess
sions are practically open to women
now. Medicine and law both have wom-
en- practitioners. Elizabeth Blackwell
was the first woman doctor in this coun-
try. She graduated at the head of her
class in Geneva College, yet on the day
after her graduation the faculty voted
to admit no more women. Now, all over
the country women are practicing medi-
cine and doing the work of killing or
curing, as the case may be. There has
been the same change in the trades, in
official employment, and in the depart
ments at Washington. But as a rule
women receive only two-thirds Of mems

ents of schools, as the law allows them
to- do they do so because by electing
women they can get better talent for
less money. And in all the States,
much of the old injustice of the common
law is still in force. Everywhere hus-
band and wife are one, and that one the
husband. But there has been progress.
Forty years ago woman could not sue
or go into court to testify. In Illinois
knew3a married woman who had set of
false teeth made. The dentist declared
them a fit, but the woman said they
were not a fit, but on the contrary it
gave her fits to wear them. Well, the
husband went into court about it. The
lawyer tried to have the woman testify,
but the judge said no. A married
woman, he ruled, could not testify in
matters Of joint interest to herself and
husband. OF course tits very different
now, but women have no idea how bar
barous even the present laws are.
sometimes wish that every husband
would persecute his wife just as far as
the law allows him in order that married
women might know how few rights they
have. If they. do not know, they may
charge it to the indulgence of man.

GIRL STUDENTS.
Their Influence Upon the Standard OF
Culture In Universities.

Their Influence Upon the Standard Of
Culture In Universities.
The fact that girl students will not
harm a university, nor the university
harm the girl students, has been mat
ter of controversy in the history OF near
ly every leading educational institu-
tion. A pamphlet published by the
Bureau of Education entitled Higher
Education in Wisconsin" gives an ac-
count of the effort that was required to
secure equal opportunities for women in
the State University.
The first Legislature of Wisconsin
made provision for the establishment OF
the Wisconsin University, but not until
1856 or '57 did the question of admitting
women trouble the university author
tiles. Up to that date no woman had
been thought of in connection with the
university, but in taking steps toward
normal training it was evident that
women teachers would seek instruction
in the art of teaching. AS soon as a
normal department was opened, which
was accomplished in 1863. seventy-six
women at once took advantage of the OPP
portunity. After two years the faculty,
in 1865, reported:
s'The faculty are of the opinion that
the normal department has made the
university more useful institution,
during the past three years, than it
would have been. 1t is not, however, to
be disguised that among many former
students of the university, and among
leading ones now in the institution,
there has been strong feeling Of oppo-
sition to the department, mainly on the
ground Of its bringing females into the
university. ------------
1t was feared that the STANDARD OF
culture" would be lowered, but the fac
ulty endeavored to allay the alarm by
declaring that there had been no such
'smingling of classes in the higher and
more recondite subjects as to render this
possible, even il it would be the result. /"
When the normal department was es-
tablished, it was intended that women
taking the three years course in that
department should enjoy substantially
tho full privileges Of the university, and
