The discoverer of argon has, indeed, a
cosmopolitan class. Among his pupils he
numbers Turks, Austrians Germans,
Greeks. Hindoos, Americans; but. of
course, a large majority of the students
are LondonerS born and bred
There are also in the class a round
dozen of lady pupils. and of these the
professor speaks in glowing terms. They
are palnstaking to a degree, he says;
careful, studious, Woodworking, and alb
Sorh wonderful amount of knowledge in
a remarkably short space of time. AS
against this, the professor does not deny
that his lady pupils lack initiative. How
ever. he has two ladies at present en-
gagged in investigating new subjects, and
they are pursuing their research with
energy, skill and considerable penetration.
One of these ladies is preparing a paper
on her subject, to be read before a
scientific society. There would, doubtless,
be a greater number of young ladies as
in the University College chem
istry class-for the science of chemistry
appeals to the feminine mind-Were it not
that there are so few openings for ladies
to follow up this science after they have
once mastered the subject. Those who
now attend the classes are mostly study
ing with the intention of taking medical
degreSs or becoming competent nurses.
