It's rlghtful place in the lives of our young people.
lney are (l) co-education-t training with each
other OF those formed for each other, that their
Intellectual sympathy may be increased and their
mutual estimate based on more thorough knowl-
edge than society affords; (2) the financial inde-
pendence OF women, that they may not be tempted
to marry in order to secure support; (3) reform
In dress, that women may have better health,
greater vigor and thus enter upon home life under
more hopeful conditions and (4) equal suffrage,
that woman's influence and character may react
upon government SO as to secure more just laws
for home protection and heavier penalties against
those who assail the physically weaker
"All these reforms should be inculcated in the
public schools and wrought into the thinking of
the young people. | do not mean that this should
be done in any formal way, but as the outcome of
that s'publc opinion in public school that is

He will fight for the girl he loves before marriage,
and then he will fight with her after it, The
editor of the Working Woman has taken the
