THE ORATORICAL GIRL.
Miss L. Jean Nelson's Success Shared I
EXerY COLLEGE Girl.

Miss L. Jean Nelson's Success Shared by
Every College Girl.
''ThC Oratorical Girl" as she was
called the other evening in 4 witty
speech at the interstate oratorical ban
quet. Is = new factor in modern prog
ress. To Miss L. Jean Nelson belongs
the honor of being the first woman to
win the prize in an interstate con-
test.
There is nothing entirely new under
the sun. In ancient Greece women took
part in public competitions for poetic
prizes, and there is legend that Myrto
and Corinna bore off the laurel crown
from mighty Pindar.
This happened almost $500 years ago
and nothing of the kind has been known
in our modern world. In admitting
girl students to their oratorical tourna-
ments. cur college undergraduates have
in some sort revived a custom of remote
antiquity This chivalrous and noble
action proves that they are above any
small. Jealous resentments if young

diana girl will rank with Miss Fawcett,
whose signal triumph over that doughty
senior wranglcr of Cambridge univer-
sity is yet fresh in memory. and also
that Scotch lassie who last fall, in the
competitive examinations for London
university. distanccd / 600 rivals.
Miss Nelson represents 10000 college
girls who to-day study side by side with
their brothers on ground once deemed
mans by prescriptive right. Much may
be hoped for this generous rivalry. 1t
is q powerful incentive to both the
young man and the young woman, and
it Is teaching the world that as there is
no sex in talent, there should be none
in education: that fair field and an
equal chance should be open to all.
In Miss Nelson's success every Ameri-
can college girl has share. Every sue
cess like this breaks down old and arbi-
trary barriers, and makes the task of
the aspiring, self-dependent woman
more easy. The triumph of this modest,
gifted, self-reliant college girl is a
triumph of woman's higher education,
that perhaps most hopeful evolution of
our time.-Minneapol Tribune.
