| BILE disastrous results of the present
tendency of girls TO become money
earners in the commercial and indus
trial world which was sounded by Prof.
ID. L. Kiehle before the superintend-
entS of the National Educational Asso-
citation was but an echo of an alarum
that has become general and wide
spread. His utteranees upon this sub
ject. being obviously based upon con-
ditions that are everywhere apparent
even to superficial observers, provoked
no challenge on the part OF the educa-
tors who listened TO them. His obser-
vatiOns in fact met with general as
sent. Prof. Kiehle called attention TO
the fact that in this age of commercial
ism and industrial activity no provis-
ion has been made for motherhood.
This phase of life has apparently been
brushed aside The desire for gain Is
crowding out all consideration Of the
home as an institution that should be
maintained according to the highest
standards Of comfort Girls are seek
ing the higher education in order 10
become a part Of the commercial ma
chinery Of the age. and not to utilize
the knowledge gained for the chemistry
of the kitchen or for perfecting the APP
pointments Of the modern home. Said
Prof. Kiehle: Training along indus
trial lines Is not the goal for women.
Until wealth brings its treasure from
the shop and bank TO the home in forms
of use for the comfort Of the family,
until art learns TO beautify the dwell
ing place of the family life as well as
the cathedral and the capitol, and until
science deyOtes itself to the heaithful
rearing of children and the hygiene Of
the home, all these forces OF our mod +
ern civilization Of which we are so +
proud fall short of their highest ser ]
vice. This final and noblest applica I
ton Of wealth and learning must be (
effected In the education OF women.
The truth Of these observations will b.
generally conceded by all who take
note Of present tendencies. There IS
little doubt that the tendency Of young
women to enter the office and factory Is
menace to home life. that It ultimate
81 tends to subordinate the home as an
institution to coinmercialism. But how
