THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
"A SUGGESTION AND
A WORD OF CAUTION

It has been truly said that the
gauge of any civilization is the edu-
cation it provides for its women. No
age and no country has ever given
this matter such serious and such wise
consideration as the present age and
the people of this, our own country
are doing.
In any reform movement that is
bringing much to pass in a broad,
general way, extremes are always GER
tain to be the cause of much harmful
result. So the great wave of activity
that mas swept over the remotest cir
cles and most obscure localities Of So
ciety In America during the past fifty
years, bringing stupendous changes in
educational work, particularly in that
of children and girls, has brought
with it many methods and plans
which time and trial have proven to
be but fads and fancies, the fallacy
of which, soon being apparent, caused
them to be abandoned
The great effort to make life easy
and delightful for. children, to make
school work extremely comprehensive
in it's scope and at the same time so
attractive that the child found every
thing he had to do only play, has
among the more thoughtful and as
conclusion that there may be such
thing as carrying kindergarten meth
DDS TO the point of excavation.
There surely must be a happy me-
dunn where school life and>the duties
of children have charm and intense
pleasure, while at the same time Sc
rious work and good, stiff mental dis
cipilne are embodied in each Gays
tasks.
What are the conditions prevalent
in the education for young girls and
young women?
About fifty years ago Mount Holy
oke, tho first school of its kind esrab-
! lished in America, and now one Of
| the most worthy and the best k,:own
! in the country, took the position that
girls could and should take the salna
courses of study in most respects as
their brothers.

Family School for Boys.

This matter of molding boys when
very young is SO vital for their best
interests, that the rector has at great
sacrifice established an ideal family
school for boys as young as to u.
His school has large and beautiful
grounds a mile from Shattuck and
country, wholly separated from the
oldersboys. The number is limited to
about twenty. The utmost care and
watchfulness are given to the train

1t confirms the claims made for it
by reason of it's fine equipment and
its excellent work that there is no
need to send a boy 1900 miles farther
east for good training and a thoro
preparation for college or business
life. For it is not only nearer the
western home. It gives equally good
instruction.; it prepares a boy for any
college or university he desires to en-
ter-Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Prince
ton, Cornell, Chicago, Minnesota, or
any others; its, associations are better
than the far-aWay eastern school for
fitting a boy for his business or pro-
fessional career in the west in COM
petition with western men; while the
| annual charges are 500 to $500 less
than those of the schools Of it's class
in the eastern states.
And by Army Board.
By a recent decision of the board
of regular army officers Shattuck has
been named one of six chools in the
United States-th1e only one, by the
| way, west of the Alleghanies-to have
a second lieutenancy in the army.
This is most distinguished recogni-
ton and every loyal Minnesotan can
hold his head little higher by reason
of it. DR.. James Dobbin, the rector,
widely known as the father and build
er of shattuck, says:
We are greatly pleased at this official
notice of the character of work we have
done at Shattuck. The law under which
the appointment is made has just gone
into effect and it allows US to send the
honor graduate of each years class to
the army with a rank of second lieu
tenant.
4 1t is not likely that the honor man in
4 each years class will care to avail hin1-
self of the privilege of accepting this ap-
pointment but we believe that many o
them will do so. Several of our gradu-
4 ates now hold commissions in the army
secured either thru work at West Poin1
teer service at the time Of the late wal
with Spain
Shattuck is one of more than eight,
! institutions to which the secretary O
war details an officer of the army a.
| professor of military science.

has been notable; there have been
few failures in Minnesota educational

grown healthily and have come to
take a very prominent place in the
higher life of the commonwealth.

Faribau1t, Mimi, Aug. 14.-F'arl-
bau1t is an ideal western town and
Shattuck school is an ideal prepara-
tory institution Of learning. 1t has
often been said that Dr. Brock, one
Of the founders of Shattuck, had a
genius for choosing beautiful sites.
One can readily believe this when he
has inspected Shattuck's.
DR.. Brock selected this when it was
heavily timbered, and in clearing 1t
the young growth was preserved and
gradually thinned, so that the build
tngs and campus are now surrounded
by beautiful grove Of native trees.
The various halls and cottages are
scattered irregularly on plateau
from which the bluff drops suddenly
to the west, nearly 100 feet. East
ward it rises gradually nearly $50
feet. On either side, north and
south, ravines cut into the bluff, Civ
ing opportunity for infinite improve
ment with picturesque effect. At an
early day the grounds were regularly
laid out and have since been improved
as means permitted
A more beautiful and healthful To-
cation could scarcely have been chos-
en-. tits singularly convenient for in
tending patrons turnout the middle
and the northwest, as 1T is on three
large systems of railway that reach
nearly every important place in all
that vast region. 1t is on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul. the Rock
Island and the Chicago Great Western
systems, and it is only about fifty
miles south of the terminus of the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern
and the 500 railways in the twin
cities 1t is therefore close to one
of the important thorofares from the
Pacific coast and intervening points,
and is the convenient and natural
place for the boys of the northwest
who wish to acquire a high class edu-
cation with all the enjoyments of a
most delightful school life.
