OUR WOMEN.
Mrs. E. V. c. Williams, Editor.
Concluded from last week.

Concluded from last week.
That woman is mans equal in
tellectually has been made plain by
the fact that only within late years
have different colleges and univer-
sites opened their doors to her. In
one of eur prominen. cities woman
was refused admission to certain
college and from that q college was
started exclusively for women
which ranks among the leading col
leges of this country. 1t is known
as the Womsn's Medical College Of
Pennsylvania. Miss Fleming, mis-
sionary to Africa, is a graduate OF
that college. and before long there
will be another-Miss A. Evans.
Both young women are credits to
the race.
Take her as school teacher and
directress she surpssses man in
many ways. Let us hope before
long more women will be admitted
to these positions. In some schools
the question of having lady prin'
cipals has bsen discussed and like
everything else has had its ups and

downs, soma claim it is necessary to
have men principals, especially in
grammar schools. But why is not
a woman equally capable ?
1t would be a difficult matter to
find many employments followed
by man that women are not capable
of following Some of the most
expert telegraph operators, type
writers. clerks, etc. are women. 1t
has been said that since so many
women have been clerking 1t has
cut the wages Of men down to the
extent that they find it impossible
to support their families as they
used to, but why should she not be
paid the same as man II she does
the same amount of work?
She possesses no little amount OF
courage, especially is this true OF
| the western women who carry mail
across lonely parts Of the country
where they are opened to insults,
vet they are erforming it with as
much satisfaction as men.
The avenues are broad for her and
we hope she will lose no time In
making the best use of her oppor-
tunlties. The advantages America
offers to woman in the educational
line rank first with these OF any
other country, this is the cause OF
the change that has taken place
with her.
Woman has and always will Il
looked upon as being modelot
refinement and culture, and thes'
privileges she enjoys through edu
cation do not necessitate our beln!
masculine. So let US hope she vii
lose none of her charms and grace
we all admire so much In her. he
