THE NEW WOMAN.
Her Capacity For Organizing and Msnsg-
ing Important Business Enterprises.

women ars especially endowed with the |
organizing and executive talent. They
are quick to observe, and unless they |
have been brought up ignorant as babes |
of how money is earned they are care
full in its expenditure. They have natu- |
raj heads for economic science, where
they have turned their attention in that
direction. II any woman, no matter
who she is, sets her head that she is GO
ing to become well off, nothing or no.
body can stop her from it but herself.
She has only to keep working and watch
ing for opportunity in the direction in
which she set out and she will arrive
ut her goal. But women usually let
their sentimental emotions. which they
mistake for their affections, swerve
them aside from the way in which they
have started. They become discouraged
easily, too and lazily conclude a wo-
man cannot do this or that, when only
the grit and backbone are lacking in
themselves. Hetty Green, with her
$50, 600, 600, has shown she can head of
and beat at their own game the shrewd-
est SO called financiers i'll America. See
the work Estelle Reel state school su-
perintendent, has done in Wyoming.
Hen first task ON taking Office was to
thoroughly acquaint herself with all its
duties aud resources The state school
lands at that time were bringing only
Sl7, 600 year to the public fund. Miss
Reel addressed herself seriously to leas-
ing these lands. Her plan was to fix the
rentals so moderate that rangemen
would be justified in accepting her
terms and putting thousands OF sheep
and cattle upon the unused territory.
| She has been so successful with the
| scheme that now Wyoming draws $780,
600 year from the school lands, a sum
large enough to pay 20 per cent OF the
whole annual public expenses OF the
state. The Engineering and Mining
| journal, one of the most influential, re-
liable and respected periodicals of its
kind in America or the world, owes its
success more to its enthusiastic and tai
ented business manager, Mrs. Sophia
Braeunlich, than any one else. Day aft
or day, year after year, she is at her
post directing the money affairs of the
paper. She has brought its finances
from confused, doubtful state to a
point where it pays handsomely, and
her comrades generously acknowledge
her services.
Instead of being content to work fol
somebody else all their lives at low
salary women should qualify themselve'
carefully for a chosen occupation ant
then go into business for themselves
more generally than they do.
Let us hope the report that there is Il
be an attempt to repeal the school sui
frage law for women in Ohio is mis-
take. Can there be in the state wher,
noble mothers have given to the worl'
so many great men one single masculin
creature base enough and piggish enough
to want to deprive Ohio mothers of thei
right to help choose those who contro
the education of their children? Grea
heavens! For the honor Of my nativ
state Il hope mott hope not.
