women, so far as virtues are concern
ed but it demands different virtues.
There are more women than men aft
lated with churches. The ratio is three
to one.
The question are there any respects
in which men seem to be better than
women was then answered by the
speaker. Men are more loyal to each
other in conversation than are wom-
en-. A man will say derogatory things
before another mans face; women say
such things behind each others backs.
Women like to tell about other wom-
en- who depart from the conventional
standards.
Women are not good in team work.
They like individual play better. Men
work together tremendously, as a rule,
in committees and are wiling to sub
init to the majority but women work
together with friction. usually,
The speaker went on to explain
these facts. He aimed to correlate
phylOgenetic or racial history with on
togenetic or individual experience.
With the help of a diagram the diff
ference between the basal instincts of
man and woman was explained. Man
in primitive times hunted and fished
while now he is engaged in manufact-
,
the necessities of life. He combined
his energies with those Of other men
in tribes. Thus were developed in man
the capacity for hunting for coopera-
tive fighting, giving rise to the virtues
of courage, loyalty to his fellows, and
TO the social unit.
Woman in primitive times cared for
the children and the hut and did the
agricultural and manufacturing work
She follows her natural instincts today
and the virtues that survive in her
are the love of home and Of the child
Tradition and public opinion frown
on unchastity because it was primari-
ly violation of mans property rights
as woman is thereby rendered less At
TO rear a good family. Feminine vir-
tues are love of child, loyalty to hus-
band, capacity in agriculture and man
fracture; relating qualities are love
patience, persistence and dOcility.
Churches emphasize the feminine
virtues: the church is anabolic, man is
katabolic. When the church institutes
an objective campaign it finds men at
hand to serve its purpose When the
church teaches peace, love, meekness
the forgiveness Of sins, women are
attracted to It,
Man excels as a politician, he excels
in loyalty in achievement in intel
lest and general movements; woman
Is at her best in the home, in edu-
cation, in specific things and her emo
uonal nature is greater. The perfect
man or woman viii take on some Of
the qualities of both men and women.
Henry 7. Bailey agent Of the State
Board of Education, North Scituate
gave one Of his animated talks on
Artistic Manual Training" Mr. Raj
ley is a fascinating speaker and illus
trates his remarks at the blackboard
in an entertaining manner. He spoke
as usual for real artistic merit, which
he would not slight even in the max
ing Of small tools, etc. The little com
mon things may be fashioned simply
after Mr.. Bailey's suggestion, yet con-
tain the element Of art. He would not
have the child waste time making OBJ
Jects that could be better and more
rapidly turned out by machinery. The
child should fashion those articles
which are best made by hand. MI

who had to catch trains time to do so
