THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN. They Should Not Be Made Bookish
 But Broadened in Every Way.

E. S. Martin, in Harpers Weekly.
 Clark University at Worcester has a summer school, before which on July 2,5 President G. Stanley Hal made an interesting dispourse about the educa- tion of woman. Dr. Hall is in the busi- ness of education, and believes in 1t thoroughly. He believes heartily in educating girls, but has his doubts, as many others have, whether the sort of education which is now lavished on American girls Is doing them good, and benefiting the race and the nation. He is not sure that it is the right sort sort of education for girls: nor must any one blame him for his misgivings. for l the education of women on modern lines Is still in the experimental stage, and many, even of those who work hardest at 1t, are not sure yet whether | they are doing good or harm.
 Dr. Hall especially concerns himself about the education that girls get IT colleges. He has studied statistics 1T the effort to find out about the heaNf of the college women, and what per centage of them marry; and though thu statistics he quoted are not conclusive nor especially convincing, as far as the! go. they make somewhat for disQuiet ude. pr. Hall himself did not seem t trust them, but the gist of the figure he quoted was that less than nall o the college women had good health that less than third of them mar ried; that those who married late an had few children, and of those few los far too many in infancy. Statistics, o lobserva -ion, or something, had led hin to conclude that the current higher ed ucation was of little use in trainin
 mothers. 'swoman's colleges" he said have done little or nothing for tn proper education of women
 While I sympathize with the claims women. and yield to no one in admi ration of their work in the colleges looks as if the colleges were trainin , for Independence and support and cell bacy-motherhCod to take care or It self"
 He doesn't believe in that. Bookish ness. he says, is bad sign in a girl We must educate chiefly for mother hood. Coeducation should cease a dawn of adolescence. The present civ ilization is harder on woman, who less adapted to the world, than on meT We must also recognize that riches ar harder on her than poverty" Sue things he asserts, and goesfon to giv his ideas about what a college for girl

ought to De; how it's first aim should
 be health; how 1t should be a place of cottage homes, not too'far from q city, with pets, gardening. plenty of out
 door exercise, and plenty of time for 1t; place where regularity should be exercised, idleness cultivated. and rev- cry provided for in every way" And ne would have the students learn re- iigion, parliamentary mathematics and physics, little chemistry, and good deal of botany, but would take care not to have them oppressed by books. Think of college president writing such q prescription as that! After all. though, 1t has been related that Presi- dent Eliot once wanted to know why woman who couid have . musical edu- cation should want any other kind.
 Men whose estimate of women Is based on other facts than what the said wo- men have have learned out of books in their girlhood. seem not always to pc less wise than other men. nor are the
 wome nwhom they admire apt to be in- ferior women.

A OUR FUNERAL NOTICE.
An Original One Written in a West
 ern Town.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Talking about funeral notices. re- marked the man from the West. you read the most original in the Western papers. They have no such respect TOT the living or the dead in some or the Western communities as we in tnis part of the world. Perhaps this arises from the fact that the West Is new section, and that conditions have not become settled there yet, but the situ- ation exists nevertheless. The weekly papers take all sorts of llbrties even with the dead. For instance. IknoW reporter on a Western weekly who was asked to write 6 funeral notice Ter friend of his, and this is the way It sot into the papers: The death anger smote Alexander McGrew and brought him protracted repose; he wore a checked shirt and a No. shoe ana nao a pink wart on his nose; but Know he is happier dwelling In space, ever there on the evergreen shore. aho hl, friends are informed that his funerai takes nlace precisely at half-past four Stranse to say, there was no complaint about 1t. The people of the town LOOK 1t ae a matter of course. Some even thought the obituary poem was nne piece of literary composition, ana ih- vited the reporter around to take drinks. which invitation he accepted several times. If that were to 1appen Tn thia country or up East there would either be a lynching or big iawsu.t; i; Anyway, the people in the Soueh anu East would not stand for any suun sa crilege. and they are right about 1t. Yet when Q man has lived out F.es. s.n n ,one 'time he gets SO that these things Sn not shock him like they would were So So nT I,w,nT T ir, any other quarter of the n,nha There Is a great deal in asso- to ciet,on. and I suppose that Is Thy no- hody thought of going after the ooi.uo .,, sTv editor and stringing him UP .o .,as nearest lamp post.

Uxxnn Not Great der--1Gis- rcurian's Idea of the Lines on Which the Next Campaign
 should Be Fought.

The cincinnati Enquirer of Satur- 0at last published an interview had Hixh Senator George c. Vest of Mis- &6ilri. atASweet, Springs. According to tnf4 inferxiew the Senator believes that XHiilian1s J.l Bryan is responsible for the rAticfiation of the Paris treaty which resulted in the present colonial policy. Mr.. Bryan, he said. urged the Demo cratic Senators to vote for the treaty when If could have been defeated had # not been for the fact that Ar. Bryan lent his support to the side or the Administration.
 MT Vest does not believe thas MT. Bryan: is a great leader. nor does ne believe the Nebrslxan can ever iead the party to victory.
 ~You have asked me what, under present conditions, should be our plat form in 1904" said Senator Vest. If could write that platform without the interventio nof any new issue l would declare:
 His Reasons.
 Il. For er1duated income tax, 8 which Is the fairest and most equal ~x-tem of taxation ever invented. Our present system of national taxation in fh. shape of internal reve- nue and tariff duties makes the poor man pay the expenges of the govern ment, while the millionaire, who con- sumes neither beey nor whisky. and imports nothing from Europe except clothing, pays nothing. But in the event of war the poor man lights for the millions of dollars belonging to the piutocart. which Is now exempt from taxation.
