Tor Educated Idi0f8.

III haSn been so many years ago since
we all listened and talked about THE
higher Education of W omen" 1t hasn't
been so long ago since we hoped, as we
talked, about the result Of the higher
education on woman. And now. for
some time we have had the so-caund
higher education for woman. And with
what result! Many a mother looked 1T
her young daughter and thought: IF |
mad only had the advantages that she
shall have! If, when | was a young
woman, l had only been taught n lttir
more, why, L should have been better
wife, because | could have talked bet-
ter L should have made better house
keeper, because | should have under
stood the why and wherefore of every
thing, and l would have been better
woman all around"
And then this old-fashioned mother do
med herself her new black dress. fresh
eEed up an old bonnet, and made the
younger children's clothes all answer for
another season, so that there might be
money enough, without bothering faith
er, to give the oldest girl the advantag "a
OF a college education. After her first
year at college much was not expected
OF her. She told Of the big buildings. of
the learned professors, of her own soe-
clal friends, and if she fingered rather
more lovingly over her account of y
game OF basket ball or the sports in the
gymnasium than she did over the account
gwen of her studies, the good mother
thought it was all because it was all

Jennie forgot that while sc could find
time to sew, it was not so easy TO get

lacked Jennie's ambition, so they said,
gave up her music lessons that the money
might go to the pride Of the family.
The next summer Jennie seemed a BIT
Of stranger. She was a stylish-looking
young lady, whose mother was bound ia
feel proud of her appearance. but who
was forced to confess that she was afraid
that Jennie Yves not quite so proud Of
the home folks. Then came the time
when Jennie was home for good. The

might have money for those dearly loved

THE NEW JENNIE.

Here was n strange young lady, n
young lady who might know a great deal
as far as books went, but who knew very
little rs far as good manners were con-
cerned. The stay-at-h0me sister had a
great piece of news for her-there was
to be a vacancy in one of the large
schools and the entire neighborhood ex-
pected it to be offered to the girl who
had been to college and who represented
that higher education of women. But
this young lady announced that she
didn't intend to bury herself in any
country hole.
This Jennie was n strange one to the
PEOPLE about her. She did not hesitate
TO correct before other people the mis-
takes made by that dear mother, and she
hesitated less at snubbing every girl who
hadn't had the same advantages as she.
She forgot that as the years went by it
was by no means unusual, especially
when the heart did much loving and the
heart continually taught the brain the
lesson of unselfshness, that those earlier
lessons learned at school should be over
looked. And the mother who had de-
MED herself many of the necessities of
life that her girl might be properly
taught shed many a bitter tear when
she learned that her daughter was
ashamed OF her And the others, who
had hoped to be so proud OF her, learned
to dislike her because she continually
found fault-believed that there was
nothing good except that which came out
of her college.
Oh, how tired everybody got hearing
about her college! And yet Jennie was
not well educated girl. Her knowledge,
like that of many another girl who was
a proud graduate OF Jones' College or
Thomas Brown University, was entirely
superficial. She could not write we'll,
she knew little of geography, while her
brother of IL could correct her spelling
and arithmetic.
ILLITERATE COLLEGE GIRLS.

she poses as learned lady, she is a
laughing stock to people who know bet
Ter. When her fame in college has been
great as an athlete, she is as tiresome as

ield, without his youth and wit as an
excuse for him.

Aside from the question of manners,
however the tendency OF the clergy
To assall and critcise each other Is an
interesting waymark of the times. In
the Middle Ages, and. indeed, until
within II comparatively recent period,
the clerical order was looked upon as
n sacred caste. and It's claim to the
possession of special power and in
sight was conceded without question
as part of the divine order of the
world. In those days the clergy nat
urally stood by each other, and were
| ready ut all times TO defend the prlvi
lcges of their order The esprit dc
| corps of the profession was as highly
developed as IS that of the army OF
| navy today. But modern civilization
Is sweeping all those old Ideas of clcr
zeal caste aside. Outside of the de
nomination of which he is n minister
no special sanctIty or authority Is at
tachcd 10 any beliefs or opinions that
n clergyman may hold. People agree
| with him Just so far rs they think him
right, and do not hesitate TO disagree
with him when they think him wrong.
| The fact that he Is clergyman cuts
no figure In the matter at all.
