Co-EDUCATI0y AND W0n4vs DESTINY

L
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In Mrs. Stanton's discussion OF co-educa-
ton, published IN The Tribune Of September 3 she
states that many individuals" OF both sexes have
the same life work, and therefore should receive
the same education. Ny article challenging her
criticism had reference TO the exceptional wo11-
an, but mentioned definitely women as a class
and il must be admitted that the majority become
home makers, and are so distinguished in their
work from men as breadwinners It is doubtful If
statistics can prove that woman in ten thou
sand engages for life in the same work as man
Second-While II is true that men are at the head
Of hotels, restaurants and dressmaking establish
ments, it is equally without question that the man
who can successfully preside alone over a home
has yet 10 be born This is his work II is
incompatible with his nature, and most assuredly
it would be a waste Of time TO attempt 10 qualify
for the impossible.
Third-A small proportion Of the great sisterhood
Of women have entered the professions and trades
and Nature very often protests against the rnisnt
asserting herself in nervous prostration and phys
zeal disability Woman is restless, dissatisfied and
disconnected until she gravitates into a home OF
her own and many Of these same professional
women sooner or later cramp % their brilliant
powers into this narrow sphere" with devout!y
F0urth-Hundreds of women do not marry r. &c
true, but millions DO, and It was for the million
Fifth-"In the main woran's work is idAn,f.a1
with man ana men ana women differ only in
tastes and capacities Those are the real issues
and is II true that man and woman differ only as
men ana men or women ana women IN Individual
tastes Il is not necessary 10 dvIue men and
women into TWO distinct classes. That was done
when the world created. and done So well no
