The Word "WOman."

Prof. Scott of the University of
Michigan, told the Modern Language
Association at Harvard that there are
1000 persons in this state who object
to the word woman" In this age
of salesladies, wash ladies, scrub Ia
dies and so on, it is hard to conceive
why the rest of the unclassified ladies
should take up arms against that hon
est old Anglo-Saxon word woman"
Etymologically, it signifies the happy
state to which every female chow cold
that word seems-every lady then
that is no better looks forward
namely, the state Of matrimony. The
woman is the wife-man. SO long as
a man is proud to be called a man,
why should a woman be ashamed to
be called a woman? Sometimes the
word is found in bad company and
assumes an invidious color from the
context, but that does not derogate
from it's worth as a word. And the
rib which the Lord God took from
man, made he a woman" Not re-
male or a lady. mind you, but a wo-
