Miss Mi1icent ". Shinn. formerly
editor of The Overland Monthly. has
been studying subject that has late
~ called out some speculation, The
Marriage Rate of College Women.
She has carefully gathered statistics
from all Of the women's colleges in
the country. and these she includes in
an article with the above title, written
for the October number of the Cen
ury. She finds the ultimate probable
ity of college woman's marrige to be
below 55 per cent, against 80 per
cent. for other women-not quite two
thirds as great Location has some
thing to do with the question. The
college women marry most in the
middle west, and least in the north
Atlantic states. The reason is not
that college women crave a public
life. Miss Shinn declares. but largely
because they are employed as teachers
in girls schools. sta ton in life more
inimical to marriage than any other
save that of a nun. 1t would be inter-
estng to have the same inquiry pros
ecute0 among the women graduates
of co-educational institutions alone

New York Sept. 15.-Throughou the

that records would be broken, but
they We're doomed to Disappointment,
as only two recordS,t were equalled

Saturday between representative Of

have put the athletic crankS on edge

Crum's showing did not fulfill what

seemed to trouble him. But it is quite
possible that he may redeem his lost

TIE SUBJECT OF CHILD Gull
TURE.
one to Which the Maternal Council at
Washington is Giving Special
Attention.

l am charmed to observe that the
Woman's council at Washington has
been dealing to a great extent with the
Obligations of women as mothers. To
the subject of child culture has been
given a position of rare Importance,
and recent address by Rev. Anna
Shaw was on Patriotism relative to
maternal influence. After all the de-
velopment of woman seems to be
shifting about in the right direction,
and when she is as perfect as she
hopes to be. and possesses all the
rights and privileges she has been
clamorng for, the climax will be
reached in the result of improved
motherhood.
The sentiment of life is entering
more and more deeply into education,
and is in evidence in the textbooks
already. A recognition of the senti-
ment Of life for the sake of reaction
airy influence on character is one of
the subjects that has lodged the at
tention of the educator to deplOrable
extent. The science of human duty
may be set to music. and it will be
ere the climax of growth is attained.
Every reformer is busy pulling the
wire of some climax that is to be at
tanned when his reform measures are
achieved. The Sutfrag iSt thinks that
when woman has the ballot all will
be right; the dress refOrmcr believes
woman's emancipation will come with
physical freedom; the social purity re-
former believes the world will be per.
feet when right ideas of sex in morals
are established; the religious enthus-
last believes the millennium will APP
proach with spiritual perfection;
hundred other reformers pull at the
wires of the climax they are hoping
for; these things are we'll in their way;
they are all good and important, but
the Wire-puller, instead of Juggling at
the climax, is working with an ante
climax, and the climax will come
later on. 1t will cone with the devel-
opment of the world through the
power of mothers and in other ways

THE SEARCH FOR CHARLIE ROSS.


So many years have passed since
the child Charlie Ross was stolen
from his homc in Germantown that
the crime is lost to the memory OF
many, but that has rot deferred some
people from still making the attempt
to palm off a bogus youth upon the
aiIlcGed family as the lost son, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. The latest
effort of this kind was made by
woman who represented herself as the
widow of one of the two burglars who
were killed at Bay Ridge, l.. L., while
trying to rob the house of judge of
the courts The woman brought with
her young man, who, Il relative of
