At Barnard College,

Barnard college opened short time
ago with freshman class of 80 students.
The entrance examination papers, which
are the same as those used at Columbia
and require certain preparation in
Greek, have been exceedingly good and
indicate marked improvement in the pre-
paratory schools.
When Barnard opened the way to the
Columbia degree for girls, few schools in
the city were ready to prepare girls to
meet the requirements in scholarship.
The college has formed triple alliance
with Columbia and the Teachers college,
waving, like the latter, the right to con-
fer degrees upon its graduates who re-
ceive the regular Columbia degree.
1t occupies unique position in the
world of letters, and one which promises
to afford one solution to the problem of
coeducation, for, though it holds q COL
lege charter, it has no president, no cur
Ticulum and no degree 1t furnishes to
its pupils the Columbia university work
In Latin, Greek, French, the Teutonic
languages, Hebrew, mathematics, bot
any, chemistry, geology and philosophy,
and the girls in the retirement of their
own classical abode do precisely the
same work the boys in their classrooms
accomplish, without in any way forfeit
ing the fine bloom of maidenly reserve
which some educators consider is sac
rificed in the intermingling of men and
women together in classes.-New York

WOMAN'S WORLD.
FULL POLITICAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
IN NEW ZEALAND.

Editor In japan.
New Zealand may claim an honorable
place in history as the first of the Eng
ical rights with men. The bill bestow-
ing full suffrage upon women has passed
both houses of the legislature and has
just been signed by the governor. This
Is the third years trial of the bill.
Twice before it has passed the lower
house to be killed III the upper. All
women, married or single, vote with the
same privileges and restrictions as their
husbands and brothers. Next December
the election will be held under the new
law. The only other state in the world
where the women have the same polit-
ical status as men is the young state of
Wyoming in this country
In England unmarried women have a
vote in all except parliamentary cleo
tions, and the struggle is now to the end
that women may help elect M. P's. A
division of sentiment, however, weakens
the movement, for wing of the suffrage
party thinks efforts should be made at the
same time to enfranchise married wom-
en-. In time both objects will be accom-
plished. In the meantime one of the
faraway colonies of Great Britain has
taken great stride along the line of
progress and left the mother country to
follow in the wake. No doubt woman
suffrage in New Zealand will prove to
be what its adherents have always
claimed, as it has done wherever it has
been fairly tried, even to the limited ex-
tent which has thus far been granted
Intelligent advocates for the reform do
not assert that 1t will cure all the politi-
cal evils of the time, but all agree that
taxation without representation is a weak
spot in any republic, and because the
taxed happen to be women does not
change the principle. Springfield Re
