The HtRbcr Education Does Not
Seem to Mike Them Amhliinus.

II Is n somewhat remarkable fact that
out Of the upward Of 1000 women OF this
country who are physicians. not more than
zoo have a college training. according TO
President Thwing o, the Western Reserve
Uniyenlty, OF tho l,?S5 women rrcachors
and EOS women lawyers in the country but
low are college bred. Even more surprising
Is the fact that the colleges have contrib
utod very few Of the literary women OF tho
country. Most OF the womcn's college
graduates become teachers or ornament
homes. Many Of the preachers. being good
takers. do not undertake the regulation
three years course in theology. but 40

Women do NOT. en- the whole. sccm 10
care 10 pursue a liberal college course
where they have definite professional
purpose in view. They become doctors
through practice as nurses and study with
physicians, They become preachers through
feeling what they count as inspiration"
aud lawyers through Office service under
prominent jurlsts. Perhaps existing condi-
tons will change. but at present Il is a
fact that outside OF the teaching profession
tho womcn's colleges furnish small pro-
portion OF those who arc gifted and sue
