THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN.
An Old Custom That viii Some Day Give

An Old custom That Will some DAY Tive
Way to Better One.
How long can it reasonably be ex-
pected that the old custom will last in
Difference to which wives are content to
be known by the surnames of their
husbands? All the recent tests tend to
show the superiority of the female
mind to that of the male. Mrs Alice
Freeman Palmer in a recent address
supported the cause of coeducation
with the argument that nothing in
the world will take the foolishness and
romantic notions out of girl SO quick
as to work with young men and find
out how little they know OF course
marriage has the same effect; but after
D girl is married it is too late for her to
save her maiden name. If she arrives
before marriage to the sophisticated
stage that Mrs. Palmer describes, she
may verysreasonably demur to giving
up name which she feels competent
to distinguish for one which will be
handicapped by her husbands relative
inferiority. All along the line this
summer women have triumphed.
In the recent assignment of gen.
eral fellowships by the Chicago
university young women got SO dispro-
portionate share of the spoils as to
scandalize the authorities. When the
London Geographical society declined in
the spring to admit women to its MEM
bership, the society's action was re-

Interesting StatIstica.

The reports of the last census, o.
nearly as can be ascertaincd, show that
outside OF domestic service America had
In 1900 2, 700, 600 bread-winning women
and girls working outside OF their own
homes. There were 10 lawyers, 1876
ministers, $40 authors, 5SS journalists,
1901 artists, 2,1s6 architects, chemists,
pharmacists. 2,10d stock raisers and
ranchers, 5,l35 government clerks,
2.43s physicians and surgeons, 1889
professional musicians, SO, 500 farmers
and planters 21,O7l clerks and book
keepers, 14,485 heads of commercial
houses, 1855, 900 public school teachers
(based on the census of 1880. Here is
an army of women depending upon
themselves for support and probably
taking care of others. Any talk Of rel
egating these women to life Of de-
pendence is mere foolishness. The
question TO consider is how best to
adapt this new factor to existing condi-
tions, OF how to shape the conditions

earners and the commonwealth Y.

ceived not at all as evidence of the in
feriority of women, but purely as .
new proof Of the limitations of men.
Ten women passed the Cambridge
Mathematical Tripos this year, and two
of them came out wranglers. Three
women took honors at Oxford, at which
university also honor examinations
were this year opened to women in
three new courses. At London uni
versity, Miss Ogilvie, prodigy of cru
dition, from Aberdeen, passed with the
highest credit the examination for the
degree of Doctor of Science. At this
rate, how long will women be content
with the substance, and abstain from
grasping the shadow also? How long
will Miss Jones consent to become Mrs.
Smith? How soon will she demand
competitive examination between
Smith and herself to determine before
marriage which is the compelling en-
tity, and whether it is more meet that
she shall become Smith, or that Smith
and the children shall become Joneses?
