The literary, no less than the manual
worker must have at his command good
tools; for a noble or artistic piece OF
work presupposes that the maker not
only possesses ability and skill but had
at command the coarse or fine. common
OF particular instruments and tools to
perform the work which his genius sug-
gested. However eminent the worker,
or however great his capacity he can
never be satisfied to turn off an upper
feet job. 1t rejects no credit upon his
ability, he would be ashamed of
his performance, and yet the result
OF this ineompleteness may not
he his own fault, but entirely due
to the fact that the worker had no
proper appliances for performing his
task.
Books bear similar relation to the
literary worker that the spade, wrench
and plane do to the manual lahorer

something of the Life OF Girl at Boys
College.


College.
The girl who goes 10 the University
Of Michigan to-day, just as when / en-
tered there in 1872. finds her own
boarding-place in one OF the quiet
homes OF the pleasant little city whose
interest centres IN the 2. 800 students
scattered within its borders. She
makes the business arrangements for
her winters fuel and its storage; she
finds her washcrwoman or her laun-
dry; she arrangcs her own hours of
exercise OF study and OF sleep; she
chooses her own society, clubs, and
church. The advice she gets comes
from another girl student OF sophomo-
rio dignity who chances 10 be In the
Same house. or possibly from a still
more advanced young woman whom
sho met on the journey. or sat near in
church on her first Sunday. Strong Is
the comradeship among these ambi-
tious girls. who nurse one another in
illness. admonish one another in
health. and rival one another In study
only less eagerly than they all rival
the boys. In my time in college the
little group OF girls suddenly intro
duced in tho army OF young men, felt
that the fate OF our sex hung upon
proving that lady Greek involved
the accents and that womcn's minds
were particularly absorptive of the
calculus and metaphysics. And still
in those sections where. with growing
experience. the anxictics about co-edu-
cation have been allayod n healthy
and hearty relationship and honest
rivalry between young men and wom-
en- exists. II Is a stimulating atmos-
phcre and develops in good stock a
strength and independent balance
