tons. The first was the danger 10 which
the private or denominational school IS
exposed from the encroachments OF the
public or State school. Not content with
providing common school training for
the great mass Of our people. the State
IS entering. II says, more and more
and more largely into the work Of high
er education. and Is becoming a for
midable rival OF all schools which de-
pend FOR their support. either IN whole
or In part. on tuition fees. The second
question was the need Of more and bet
ter secondary schools. or academies
schools that would be content TO do
hrst-class preparatory work without as
piring TO be colleges. The third ques-
ton was the need Of some provision for
that small. but growing. class Of women
who aspire to something higher than is
now provided for them IN our best fe-
male colleges.
