The county of Nottingham is in some
ways an epitome of England. It has its
black country, where great part of the
people are engaged in mining industries; its
forest scenery, where there are yet to be
found spots which seem to have come down
unchanged from the time when it was d
hunting ground for Plantagenet Princes and
their kindred; and on the eastern frontier
we come upon rich and welLcultivated soil,
grand meadows and pastures, where En-
glish agriculture may be seen almost at irs
best.

working Girls and Housework.


At recent meeting of the Columbian
Housekeepers' association teacher gave
report from the Jewish Manual Train
ing school--a school which has df tree
be judged by its fruit instead of bios
soms) more successfully than any other
conquered this question of industrial
education for poorest classes. She told
us that from the large classes of girls
who took the course of sewing none
could be found willing to go to the homes
of their benefactors and perform their
housework. Their plea was that they
wanted their evenings to themselves.
Yet those same girls when they left the
school and found clerkships, working
for $3.50 or So week, would come to
evening classes from the stores-often
not even waiting for their suppers-and
spend their evenings in earnest work.
Evidently frivolity or wish for dissi-
patton was not the foundation of their
objection to housework. The explana-
ton may be found in the desire for re-
Taxation from restraint or wish for per.
sonal freedom that is inherent in human
nature, and which is necessity for con-
tinued effective service; but more po-
tent reason, believe, is that they were
not trained for housework, except, per-
haps, to look down on it and to do as
little as possible of such degrading work.

The Era of Big Girls.

This is the era of the heavyweight
athletic young woman, who walks
abroad with the swinging tread of a
grenadier, shoulders erect, chest ex-
panded and head held high, a young
woman who thinks nothing CT a ten
mile walk, and is altogether new type
of American independence.
She is the evolution of the modern col
lege. Higher education has done it all,
and before we know it we shall have
raised race Of amazons, and the girls
of Laselle and Wellesley will be chal-
longing the boys of Yale and Harvard
in rowing and racing and football ath-
letics.
Professor Bragdon, of Laselle semi
nary, is authority for these facts: Since
the opening Of the seminary in Septem
Der up to date forty-two young womer
have gained nine pounds OF over; three
fourteen each; two, sixteen; one, nine
teen; one, twenty; one, twenty-five, ani

The featherweight of them all weighs
eighty-one pounds, the heaviest plump

girls in all New England.
So much for calisthenics, athletics,
physiology and hygiene in the curricu-
lum of higher education. for Laselle
specializes health and avoirdupois even
above Greek and Latin as important
points of culture. 1t is to Laselle we
must look to controvert all lingering
prejudice of the debilitating effects of
higher education Post.

college has yet to complete its endow-

rated among all classes to bring this
about by means of bazaar, to be held
next November in Glasgow. Bazaars
may not be ideal means of raising money,
but they have this advantage, that they
may enable all to help according to their

Business Training and Motherhood.

Business Training and Motherhood.
At the February meeting of Sorosis in
New York the question, Should wom-
ans training for d business career take
into consideration that she may become
a wife and mother?" was discussed by
Mrs. Ada M. Brown, chairman of the
day, as follows:
Womans function in the world is de-
termined by nature-she is made to be
the mother of the race. Accepting the
scientific fact, it does not follow that
motherhood absorbs all her energies.
Amelia Barr has been the mother Of fif-
teen children, yet her books are accepted
by publishers and readers. Train girl
as we will we cannot convert her into a
mere sexless machine. Physiologically
we must take into consideration that she
may become wife and mother, though
practically we ignore it. It is mistake,
then, to train girls precisely like boys.
No true womanly woman wishes to be a
man, she is quite satisfied to be good
specimen of her own sex.
Women are handicapped in the race
of life by having to fit themselves for
two careers-primarily, for a trade or
profession, contingently, for the home
and family that may come. Women
students or wage earners must sew,
cook, make and mend, wash their hand
kerchiefs and take infinite pains to look
pretty to attract the men. How many
men students make their own trousers?
The same qualities which make a
successful business woman are necessary
in good wife-promptness punctuali-
ty, method and exactness. In this age
has been evolved woman with equal
powers for being and doing, with wom-
anly instincts and masculine skill.

Enthusiastic vassar Alumne.

Enthusiastic vassar Alumne.
The parlors and ballroom of the Hotel
Brunswick were filed Saturday with
pretty girls of the Vassar Alumna asso-
citation. Those same rooms see many
gay gatherings-portly gentlemen farm
ers" of the New York Farmers club,
jolly members of the Coaching club, and
all sorts of entertainments to the great
and good, but energetic little ABE"
Godchaud, who looks after that sort of
thing, said that he didn't remember ever
having heard so much musical feminine
laughter bubbling through the hotel,
and he was certain he hadn't seen so
many pretty girls since he took off kits.
There were $50 of them-enough to
insure the eternal prosperity of a sum-
mer resort-and they all seemed so en-
thusiastic about their alma mater and
so energetic in the transaction of the
associations business, and withal so
happy and athletic, that it was very
strong argument in favor of the higher
education of women. Business was at
tended to first. They held two business
meetings. one for the general associa-
ton. to which the Chicago. Boston and
Washington branches sent delegates,
and one for the New York branch; and
it was not until those were over that
luncheon was served.
There was an informal discussion of
the quotation, 'Shall women have the
same wages as men for performing the
same work. in which Mrs. Elizabeth
Howe, of Boston, and Mrs. Ellen Rich
ard, of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, took prominent part. The
immediate outcome of the discussion
was the passage of a resolution to in
crease the Marie Mitchell fund, the in
come Of which supports the chair of
astronomy, from $4,000 to $50, 1000,
thereby making the salary of the astro-
nomical professor equal to that paid to
men in the great universities Of the
