A WCEnSn's Eirst DRY

The last half century, says Mrs
Jennie Lozier, ox-president of Sorosis,
marks marvellous advance IN the
education of women. From the strag-
giles of Mary Lynn of Mount Holvoke
and Emma Willard of Troy to the opcn-
ing of Johns Hopkins, Yale and Har-
ward to women stretches a period Of
infringing effort and brilliant success.
There have been many similar move
ments in the past when women seemed
about TO enter into their Tightfal inner
ltarce They demonstrated the posi-
bilitieS of women by their achievements,
but the conditions of society We're urfa-
vorable. Because Of the leisure, wealth
and freedom OF thought which now pre-
val! rs the results of civilization inciS-
peHschle to culture we have now al
environment which gives permanency
AMI vigor to any attainmeIts we may
make. There is an axiom that the status
of woman is an infali;ble index OF prog
ress. This test ranks our civilization
higher than any that has preceded il.

women whose education. incomplete in
the beginning, had been completely
buried by an avalanche of shirts and
puddings. These women We're in dan
ger of mental starvation. They needed
some influence to give them an outlook
beyond the walls of home and an iniook
into their own mental condition. This
influence erlanates from the women :
