dozen years the society has given play at

Chiefly in its dramatic aspect lies the present day

aspect being less considered. The rising of
interest In early drama. evident in the increasing

the sake of availins themselves of present day op-
portunities. Before commencement day arrived
many girl from schools all over the land had
hurried To the scene Of her summers work. where
she will earn the meanN with which to exc out the
next years expenses. Such toilers may be found in
summer hotels. lake steamers. in private homes
and many other places where a womans work Is
wanted. Most of those who expect 10 pay their
way through college by their own exertions have
laid by a sufficient sum before entering to insure
their tuition during the entire course. and part
least OF their living expenses during the time.
Whether IT is possible for any ambitious girl to
obtain a college education is a question upon
which educators differ. In all institutions there
are students who outdistance in quality and
amount of work the rank and file of their classes
but for ordinary girl the way is undoubtedly
a difficult one. The limit TO physical strength is
usually reached by the school work.
MISS wooLLEY's STATEMENT
Upon this subject. Miss Mary f. wooney. presi-
dent of Mount Holyoke, said to Tribune re-
porter:
intelligence and energy wishes a college educa-
tion she can obtain It, AS far as l know the girls
who have earned money to pay their way through
college, at least In part have accomplished it by
tutoring typewritlng or stenography. Some OF
them earning pin money while in college by
tutoring typewrting, sewing. summer work In
libraries and offices. and in various little ways
such putting up lunches taking care OF rooms
executing commissions and newspaper work.
There are many opportunities at Mount HoI-
yoke TO large amounts of money but pin
money may be acquired by a girl of ingenuity in
many little ways"
WHAT PRESIDENT SCHURMAN THINKS
Jacob G. Schurman. the president of Cornell
differs from Miss Woolley. He says: II should
not be prepared to say that any girl with aver
age intelligence and energy obtain college
education for herself If she really wants IT,
Womens work Is so poorly paid that it is
hard for her to Besides, IL is difficult
for a girl to find work while she is study
ing At the time. many women do wholly or
partly depend themselves to pay their way
Usually however. they have friends by whom funds
are loaned pay the first years expenses. Then
the students leave to teach for one two or more
years saving what they can and returning from
year to year. it is possible have known one
of these women 10 take ten years to complete
four years course.
President Barrows of Oberlin, is convinced that
most girls with average intelligence and energy
can obtain a college education IL they strongly de-
sire II. He says; ~ suppose that fourth of the
girls in Obern College to-day doing something
TO pay their own way using money which
they earned before coming II is usually funds OBJ
tained by teaching before entering the institution

The good people Of Lexington can
never know how much we appreciate
their sympathy, prayers and help 10 the
great sorrow that has some upon us.
Through all the years of our suiierings,
sorrows and losses they have blessed and
honorsd US with their confidence and
sympathy. After all there is much in
human love and pity-God sends his
help by human hands and makes himself
known through the hearts of those that
love Him. Blessed be His holy name
forever, He has never forsaken as and
never will. This note is only to express
our deep sense of gratitude and love for
the dear old town and its many good
people. THos. M. COBB.
