Women aud Education.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
correspondent Priscilla Leonard says that
to let women vote would be to "debase the suf-
frage." because at present our population in
cludes more men than women who are college
graduates. If there are as vet more educated
men than educated women in the United
States. the situation is fast changing and will
soon he reversed. Women are entering upon
the higher education In ever increasing num-
bers. while there is a growing tendency to take
bows out of school early in order to put them
into business. Already every State in the Union
graduates more girls than hoys from its high
schools-Some of them six times as many.
Prof. William T. Harris. United States Com
missioner of Education. writes:
find, on making the actual calculation. that the
women in secondary and higher education. added
together, number 2s7.162, and The men number
285. 2a8, equal 70 $40 per cent. of the former. and
ovactlv 30 per cent. women to A. per cent. men for
the entire education higher than the elementary
schools.
And President Caren OF Tufts College said in
a recent address: Our colleges have doubled
in numbers within ten years. and the number
OF women who are getting ready for college is
astonishing. When all the women now. pre-
pairing for college are educated and begin
stndying the social questions OF their time,
what may we not hope for in the solution Of the
difficulties that now confront us 2" ALUMNA.

There is a wide difference; being males. they
all belong to the governing class. The boy can
vote at 81, the alien and Chinaman when nat
uralized and after a few years. residence.
BY the modern appliances OF science. even
our political compeers may be transformed
into voters. the idiot may be restored to sound

The stopping of the Clock.

From Touih's Companion.
Surprising falls the instantaneous calm.
The sudden silence in my chamber small:
/, starting, lit my head in half alarm
The clock has stupped-that's all.
The clock has stopped. Yet why have 1 so found
Al instant feeling almost like dismay
Why note it, silence sooner than its sound?
For it has licked all day.
So many a life beside my own go on,
And such companionship unhceded keep;
Compan!onship scarce recognized till gone,
Aud lost in sudden sleep.
And so the bles 'ings Heaven daily grants
Are in their very commences forgot;
We little heed what answereth our wants
Until it answers not.
A strangeness falleth on familiar ways,
As IL some pulse were gone beyond recall.
Something unthought of. linked with all our days
Some clock has stopped-that's all.
