who gave us our being, writes Edward
w. Box, in the Ladies' Home Journal
Why is this "womans century" any
more than was any century before III
Just because few thousand more
women are engaged in business? Does
that fact make a 'woman's century ~
We haven't determined yet. by any
means, whether the present tendency
of woman going into the rOugher com
mercial pursuits is to her interest or
To the benefit of those who will follow
her. A little caution here Is a very
good thing. WHAT sense is there in
tins constant ding-dpnging into the
ears of uur girls that they are born at
.he dawn Of woman's emancipation ?'
Emancipation from what? WIN this
sort Of thing teach our girls to have a
greater respect for the women of mast
generatlons' II we keep up this har-
angue much longer / shall not blame
our youngest girls If they get the no.
ton that the world only began about
forty or nifty years ago. If we expect
children to have respect for their
mothers and their mothers parents
we cannot enshroud the times In which
they liVed with the darkness of igno-
rance and bigotry. The women who
lived before the present agltators Of
the 'woman's century" Were born did
a thlng or two In the worlds history
tar more, venture to prophecy from
thGlr present talk. than the women of
t9day VIII do in these latter days, IL
they pursue their present course.
