Mary carey Tnomas, president or Bryn
Mawr college. 1t is a satisfaction to
her American sisters to know that Or.
Thomas is one of the most learned
women in the world. In a recent adj
dress Miss Thomas alluded to the in
creasing number of European gentle
men who come over here to investigate
our Industrial and social conditions and
lind out why it is the United States is
SO much more prosperous than the ma
lions of the old world. She does not
hesitate to say it is because:
In the United States, for the first time
in the history of the world, the girls of
a great nation, especially in the poorer
classes, have from their earliest infancy
to the age of eighteen or nineteen received
the same education as the boys, and the
ladder leading. in Huxley's words. from
the gutter to the university" Is climbed as
easily by a girl as by boy.
DR.. Thomas has studied educational
and sociological statistics carefully. In
the states west of the Alleghanies the
coeducational college is the rule, and
in these institutions third of the stu
dents are women. The result of this
liberal training for girls already be-
gins to manifest itself Enthusiastically,
prompting the woman college presl-
dent to sound note of warning to the
east. She says unless the east recog-
nizes before it is too late the supreme
value of a college education to both
men and women 'the scepter of intel
lectual and commercial supremacy will
pass to the west
Other things being equal, the woman
with the college diploma has five
chances to one over her noncollegiate
sister in the industrial world. The coll
lege diploma opens all doors. In the
civil service, in the ranks of the teach
err. the physician, lawyer, in clerkships
of the superior order, in the newly de-
veloping occupation of the expert SAN
itarian and dietician-even in the ordi-
nary commercial world-a certified col
lege course previous to the special
training will go far to give woman
equal advantage with man. 1T is
practically the only road" One is glad
to record, too, that in our country. a
girl may still work her way through
college.
Even though the woman never enter
the money earning ranks, the college
education will give her superior influ-
ence and power of service in the social
sphere. Especially she will always be
able to command the respect OF her
own children because of her knowledge.
In selecting the kind of college course
they will pursue it is to be noted that
girls usually take what is called "cul-
ture studies"-that is, languages. abb
stract philosophy and literature
which, in fact constituted the old time
curriculum. The education is best
which fits us to be most useful. From
that standpoint Latin and Greek are
less useful than the natural sciences in
our time, unless girl expects to be
teacher of the classics. Electricity.
chemistry, astronomy, microscopy and
biology offer glorious fields of work.

FEWER eLoNps.

II is a curious fact, which has been
confirmed by the famous German Pro-
lessor virchow, that blends are dying
out and dark haired people greatly on
the increase. What has caused this
change is not known. but in all north
ern Europe fair hair seems in the NIL
nority. A few years ago this type was
more admired than any other. Now It
is not only fashionable to have brown
hair, but more women with hair of this
color marry than those who are bonds.
Blue eyes are also becoming far less

his breath as he looked upon her. He

was a revelation to him. She seemed

reality.
Miss Swanston understands why
Americans do not understand Ibsen, be-
cause she belongs to both Scandinavia
and America. Born in Sweden, she
came with her parents to the United
States as a child old enough to retain
the most vivid remembrance Of her
native land. yet young enough too, to
receive full impression as an American
child. She always knew she must do
something. and she has always realized
that the United States of all countries
is the spot for the woman self driven to
achieve She loves America and is
grateful for it's opportunity. yet her
soul is as Scandinavian still as her far

wonderful Swedish golden hair.

daft about her"
and he closed the conversation by go

BY nightfall his task was finished,
and he could have caught train for
barley. but he felt a strange, half
morbid disinclination to leave. he re-
paired to his hotel, changed his cloth

dining room, but the very gayety on
every hand irritated him. He had no

A little warmth came to his cold

VALUE OF A COLLEGE
EDUCATION TO WOMEN.

Ut is interesting to note that two of
the leading educational authorities
in this country have recently ex-
pressed opinions concerning the value
of the college course to the feminine
sex. One of these is man. DR.. w. T..
Harris, national commissioner of edu-
cation. Throughout a long career in
his official position DR.. Harris has
steadily watched the progress of wo-
men in the higher walks of learning
and it's results. He is therefore quail
fed to speak by the book. In his latest
official report DR.. Harris says that a
college education is practically wo-
mans only road to distinction.
The other expert is woman. DR..

prosperity had come as result;
third, that developments since 1895
had shown the fallacy Of tho principles
upon which the democracy then APP
pealed for public support; and. fourth,
the conditions which had come to
other parts of the world and their
people as result of promises fulfilled
by the republican party in the United
States.
1.-The pledges of 1895 and those made
in 1900 have been redeemed" the book
says. THE protective tariff has been
restored, the gold standard made per-
manent; Cuba freed and given indie
pendence; the Panama caral assured
under the sole ownership and control
of the United States: department of
commerce and labor has been estab
lished; rural free delivery given to
millions of the agricultural commun-
ity; the laws for the proper regulation
of trusts and great corporations
strengthened and enforced; prosperity
established commerce developed;
labor protected and given ample en-
ployment and reward: intelligence,
prosperity, and good government es-
tablished in distant islands and the
flag of the United States made the
emblem of honor in every part OF the
world.
'All of these great accomplishments
have been the work of the republican
party. In each of them it has met the
the hostilities of the democracy.
Following the tariff chapter is a dis
cussion of prosperity. showing the
growth in manufacturing, in wealth,
and in general prosperity, the growth
of savings bank and general bank de-
posits, the increased demand for the
articles required In manufacturing and
enlarged production of the articles
manufactured, the increase in agricul-
tural products and in prices of farm
products, and the values of the factory
to the farmer.
Treats Of Trusts.
"The chapter on trusts discusses the
legislation enacted for their regulation,
the record OF the two parties on this
subject, the existence of trusts in
other countries and especially in those
having no protective tariff, the relation
of trusts to employment wages. and
prices; the enforcement OF law for the
proper control and regulation of or
EanlZatlonS OF THIS character during

tally that of President Roosevelt: the
inefflciency OF state legislation, the

acted and enforced by the republican
party, the Northern Securities case,
the work of the department. OF justice
and OF the department OF commerce
and labor, and the relation of the
trusts to the nomination OF the demo-
cratic candidate for president.
Labor and Wages.
The chapter on labor wages and
prices is especially interesting and im-
portant, since it comprises figures from
the recent investigation OF the bureau
OF labor OF the department OF COM
merce and labor. 1t shows beyond
question, AS result OF thorough off,
cial investigation, that the advance in
wages during the last decade has been
greater than the advance in the cost

lie must pay for the articles consumed.
