following interviews from college wo'
men are spicy
Miss Ellen Sabin, president OF the
Milwaukee Downer college and grad
nate of the University Of Wisconsin,
when interviewed with regard to the
statement made by tire Chicago pro
lessor. said: Complete refutation of
Prof Clarks statement is made by OBJ
servation Of the home life Of college
women all over the country. As presi-
dent of the Association of College
Alumni. find that the college women
are among the prominent ladies of Mil
YANKEE in social life, and are exception
ally delightful home makers. And this
is true not only II this city but all over
the land. as well. IF n man Is locking
for wife who will sit down, and adj
mire him and think him the most pie
nomenal creature on earth, then he
does not want college bred woman.
But if he wishes a woman who %.4 be
for him Il companion, a woman Of
thought who is able TO enjoy with him
all the higher and better things Of life,
then he is not going to avoid the college
Dred woman. A college education is
about rs small demand for education
rs one can make. People who have
uaid the most attention to domestic
training and have studied it from the
scientific side women who are leaders
in schools established for the study of
domestic science and for work along the
line Of child study, will readily acknow-
ledge that the college woman is the one
who is taking the lead in the most inn
portant line Of home and child culture,
is having the greatest success in making
her home what it should be and caring
lor her children as they should be cared
for. The college education results in
such training Of mind and heart that
the college woman is more likely to
appreciate and set a high value on those
things which help to make home happy
Mrs, c. p. Williams also an alumnus
of the University Of Wisconsin, said
The people to be consulted with in re

Of college wives. think that broad,
,cacIul a..a ...-i"i education should
make any woman better able to fill her
position in life, whether it be that
of housekeeping or teaching, The edu-
cation which one gets in the college Of
today is not a mere collection Of facts,
but il consists Of that broadening and
developing Of character which helps to
fit a woman for whatever position in
life she may be called upon to fill sta

divorces between husbands and college

ty among children whose mothers have
been college bred are lower than any
other corresponding classes.
Mrs George w Peckham, who was
graduated from Nassar, says Prof
Clark, in making such statement,
tertainly casts more disrespect on him.
self than he did on college women.
Their lives speak for themselves they
speak louder than anything else
think that the average American man
would be quite as willing to advocate
the college education for women as foI
those of his own sex True, our girls
do not find much time to give to the
study Of domestic science while they
are in school but the woman who has
had the advantage Of mind training
is more able to do the work Of the home
when she sees she has it to do, than she
would be without this training If she
have special taste For the domestic, she
will learn it, no matter how much time
she may give to the development of hel
