Education In Holland.

The mass of the children of Holland
may always be found in the public
schools and in these institutions there
are no distinctions of rank, so that the
high and lowly commingle on terms of
perfect equality. Education begins at
six years f-age in the public schools,
and at twelve girl is examined and
passes ON for five years course in
the higher burger schools, of which
Holland possesses seventy-two. The
coeducation of the sexes is an admitted
principlei In the primary schools boys
and girls are brought up together. They
learn side by side and are on familiar
terms from early childhood without the
smallest i'll resulting. A great point
is made of. languages, and no Dutch
girl of the upper or middle classes is
considered educated who cannot speak
English. French and German more or
less huently.
Probably owing to the system of ed
ucation in force the women folk are
inclined to grow up somewhat inde-
pendent We are told that the preju
dice against women working for
livelihood has almost disappeared and
even rich women sometimes choose
profession. They include doctors, den
fists, many of them first rate; photo
graphers and gardeners. About 1000
girls hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 5000 are nurses. trained in the
White Cross homes and on n par with
the very best of their profession,
woman is curator of the national his
tory museum in Haarlem and another
holds the same post at Utrecht. while
a third is head dispenser at a hospital
in Amsterdam.

MONEY AND LUXURY.
They Are the Curse of Modern French
women


"The enemy of the modern woman in
France is the love of luxury and of
money"
Thus spoke NJ Hughes lie RouX the
celebrated French journalist and critic,
In one of the series Of lectures in
French which he is delivering at the
University of Pennsylvania. He be-
teves that this unnatural love destroys
her domestic happiness. The system of
marrying for money, he says. has
created what Is sometimes known as
the third seX," i. e., the woman who
does not want to rear any children.
The result Of this system has pro-
duced a class of young women who
ut thirty are unmarried and likely to
remain so. Several years ago Nj. lie
RouX established bureau in Paris for
giving advice to unmarried women
'and nearly all of the hundreds of wo-
men who came to him had the same
story to tell. l. e.. that they were well
bred. left school at twenty, attended
the theater. opera, balls, etc, postpon-
ing marriage until twenty-five years
old, always expecting to marry. but
not quite deciding to do so. At this
period they invariably began to pity
the innocent young girls who married
and began to assume the cares of their
sex. The men they saw pleased them
less and less. They were unable TO
awaken the sentiment of love for them,
and at last they found themselves at
the age of thirty still unmarried-too
late they saw that marriage is only
means, not an end.
