Our Modern Minervas.

1t is contestable that the intellect Ct
our country is fast being represented
by our daughters. The last report of
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion of Pennsylvania is significant.
1t shows the number of High School
graduates in that State, for the year
1899, to nave 3476, of which 2l22
were girls-or nearly twice as many
girls as boys who pursue the higher
Public School course. The majority
of teachers in the State are women.
How much wiser to grant to this
educated American womankink en-
franchisement and representation in
our government, than to confer upon
newly-naturalized, illiterate immi-
grants the dangerous power of the
ballot. Conservatism, not justice, re-
CARDS these brainy women and girls
as political interiors. With women
and girls as political interiors. With
women forging ahead in all the pro-
fessions and wage-earning avenues,
it will be but few years when the
imperative demand will be for wo'
manly counsel in our National legisla'
tion.
1t is noticeable that, wherever the
question of Woman Suffrage has beer
submitted, the objection has come
from the unassimilated foreign and
slum vote. American hearthstones,
are prompt to equality.
In the four States of our Unior
where women and men legislate oI
equal terms, there is no discrimina
tion against sex in wages or position
Ability is the test.
All hail! then to these Minervi
daughters, who are destined to brini
into the family of the future a high
er standard, emblazoned with equali
ty, wisdom and skill-the heritage o
children born of parents equal in fam
lily and State. Ida Porter-Boyer.

whv Girls Should be rhapkful.

Fifty years ago the life of the av-
erage girl was commonplace and
dreary to the last degree. She was
allowed very little education and
was encouraged to be delicate be-
cause it was considered ladylike.
Her one aim and object in life was
to get married, and if she failed in
that she was deeply disgraoed and
marked for shame and contempt as
an "old maid"
Today she has the high privilege
and blessed right of earning her
own living This makes her inde-
pendent, and she can remain single
until love prompts her marry. If
she never marries, no one despises
her. The sold maid" has disap-
peared completely, and in her place
we have the breezy, independent, up
to date, athletic and well gowned
bachelor girl, who is succeeding in
business life or profession and asks
neither pity nor favors from her
fellow men. Should not girls be
thankful?
