School. In the Congress Tuesday. that
mans love for woman is merely that Of
sex. Here are the comments Of a few OF
them:
Mrs. Fanny Humphrey Gaffney: WON
an would be unjust TO man to permit the
professors statement to remain unchal
lenged. He cannot speak for all men, nor
can 1 speak for all women. but if what he
says is true, man has kept woman in
state OF most unexampled illusion as to
his state of feeling toward US. and the
status Of our power over him. We thor
| oughly believe in the work OF men. and
will continue to believe that they love US
until by deed or word they convince US to
the contrary.
Mrs. Sarah Mary Harris, President OF
| the New York City Mothers Club 4
think il horrid. It Is a shame that il
should have been tolerated or listened to
for a moment. We women are wives and
mothers. We know better than what Prof.
Chrisman says. We know that men are
not so degraded as he makes them out to
be. He does no, speak well for his sex.
We know that men do love as women do"
Mrs. l. l. Hills, State Organizer for
Iowa: I'VE would have liked to take hold
of Prof. Chrisman and lift him out of the

ply Disguised. 1t was an outrage that
such language could be used in such
meeting"
Mrs Maria Purdy- Peck. OF Davenport,

what he said, and, on the whole, admire

THE colleges" she said, "are attempt
ing to make women like men. Let US
be ourselves; let Us have a wider and
moro comprehensive view of life ana
we shall then be the great inspiring end
uplifting force of the world Men and
women are growing apart and failing to
understand each other because of exeg-
geration of sex differences. The future
mother must be trained TO obedience in
the largest sense to the obligations OF
family life. the laws of nature affecting
her Own body. and the laws of her coun-
try; to love work and to recognize her
responsibility in modern life. Instead of
this we have few women who know the
laws Of their being, of woman's primary
function. and still fewer the laws of
tnelr country. Many women think the
charm of life lies in getting rid of work

stays at home, but only with those vic

they were made TO do
