Fascinating a. are the theatres Of the
evolution OF the human mind In the pre-
historic ages and the history of educa-
tion through the different periods OF time,
We must leave them for a brief study OF
the latest development OF EDUCATION In
America.
Just here Miss Barnes turned back. I'm
retrospecton. TO little more than
century ago. when simultaneously in Eu-
rope and America WAS felt an awakening
interest In the higher education OF
women. From this period she traced
I'm "A most interesting way the develop
ments Of th- higher education of women
in America Incidentally she said. The
higher education Of women IN America
did not begin with WELLESLEY aud Nassar
and BHrn-Ma awr. but rather with those
noble pioneers I'm the early DAYS OF the
last century who struggled with little
seminaries and academies IN which the
rudimeutS OF higher education were IN
troduced."
I'm closing her paper Miss Barnes
summed up the whole question IN most
optimistic way. She said IA Is I'M
possible TO sa,, what the future has IN
store for MS i'm the higher education OF
women. Ont OF the three types now eN-
listing some plan may be evolved that
will surpass all the splendid achievements
that have thus far been attained. As
George William Curtis saws, We have LETT
woman as a slave with Homer ana ferl-
cles We have left her foolish glT-
ess with Chivalry and Don Quixote. We
have left her as a toy with Chesterneid
ana the club' hho VI the ehishbNHSN
American daughter, wife and mother. IN
the free American home. we IND the
fairest flower and the highest promise
OF American civilization.
Miss Barnes was followed by Miss
Emery. who gave a sort OF informal tax
rather than paper, on tne hiknsr euu-
cation Of women i'm the different Euro
pean countries during the past 70 years
In beginning. she explained that Eng
lands education OF women is not much
different from our own country Tor there
as here women wanted 10 push ont FOR
! an education. In 1869 there were over
! 1900 women graduates.

/ Is laid on what a man did IN his eNami-
| nations, but In 1889 Miss Faucet outdid

| Emory gave Interesting personal expe-
! riences of her own In trying To get into
