own countrymen/ will not grudge to their French brother jurors the high l compliment Miss Griswold pays these when she says that perhaps their court ly manners influenced the atmosphere of the meetings.
 certainly I never met a group of men who were discussing points of dif- ference that so thoroughly maintained perfectly even tempers amid such se- rious differences of opinion. It was a delight and good part of my contin- uins education to serve on this jury"
 You will note the words my contin- uing education" Edith Griswold is full filling the mission whereto the race was called-to be always learning. Fossil bly if the members of some women's organizations had had the estimable privilege of attending the deliberations of those scientific gentlemen they. too, might have learned an important les son--that of perfectly good tempered and polite deliberation.
 With the systematic, exact mind of the mathematician Miss Griswold com pines feminine graces and refined tastes. The two are by no means in- compatible. She loves beauty and all things beautiful with a perfect love In all things possible she realizes the ideal of artistic comeliness and fitness Her shoes are made to walk in, her loose, lightweight yet thoroughly be- coming, costume is designed not to in- terfere with comfort or freedom of mo- ton in office or outdoors. She is wo- man lovely in appearance and charac- ter. In her profession she is rapidly acquiring a standing that all her sex have the right to. feel proud of.
 When the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore Issued the last announce ment of its department course on phil- osophy and psychology, a new name ap- peared among its lecturers for 1904-05 that of Mrs. Christine Ladd Frank lin, IL. D. Christine Ladd was born in Connecticut and was graduated from vassar College in 1889. From 1878 to 1882 she was one of those brave stu dents who stood up for woman's right to obtain a higher education at Johns Hopkins. A conservatism that more than suggested bigotry and prejudice was In the air at Johns Hopkins then. yet the brainy girl students won out, as they always do.
 Miss Ladd's specially was mathemat- ics in those days, and so gifted was she in this branch that she won fellow ships in 1t at the university. After finishing her studies at Baltimore she went to Europe and pursued them fur ther at Gottingen and Berlin. In 1882 Miss Ladd was married to Prof. Fabian Franklin. mathematician and editor, also of Johns Hopkins.
 Marriage with a fellow, scientist did not, however, close Mrs. Franklin's own independent career, but only stimulated 1t. She continued to delve into studies the most abstruse and difficult. Color, vision and It's psychology and laws of manifestation have claimed her thought for years. She at length evolved her own theory of color vision and made 1t public in 1892. It received immediate attention and consideration from sci entists in Europe and America It sounds like an encyclopedia list, the mention of the studies she has made, the papers and text books she has pre- pared. She was associate editor of the Dictionary of Philosophy and Psyctiol- ogy, she has charge of the department of optics in a psychological periodical, and is & writer on various other topics.
 Christine Ladd Franklin was also an able representative of her sex at the St. Louis Fair. She was early selected to read two papers at one of its con gresses. One paper was read before the section of logic and was entitled "The New View of the Inhnite," which sounds suficiently learned. The other paper was for the section of psychol- ogy and was on the logic of the color element. In her lectures at Johns Hop kins Mrs. Franklin will deal with color vision and symbolic logic. Having studied the psychology and physiology of the~nervous system as she has, 1t Is interesting to note that this learned lady is strongly In favor of cycling as an exercise. She writes:
 "The development of the neuromuscu- lar system involved in learning the nice system of balancing required In riding a wheel is an important source of add ed mental power. as every psycholo- gist knows."
