that there was every prospect that the
peace treaty will be soon ratified by
the U. S. senate, the effect upon the
native clement had been salutary.

j. Bryan, herself Il graduate of the
academy for young women in this

on 1.-The American Woman She said
among other things:
THE public find the American wo-
man an interesting subject. This in
terest follows from the unique posi-
ton i'm which the American women
stand today. The American womaa
should be sufficiently independent to
study her own surroundings. choose
her own course and live the life which
is best for herself and those nearest
her, without regard to the opinion OF
the outer world.
while we hear great deal these
days about equality, the real perni;-.
nent advancement of women depend
on her individual development. When
man finds in woman thorough ap-
probation of his work and aims; when
the mind of woman becomes the per
feet supplement and complement of
the mind of the man in which the
Creator intended it to be, then will
all the discussions as to the rights
and privileges cease"
