that the higher education can do and the most important thing it can do, is to impsrt to the male student scien- life knowledge of the pscycho' ogy of women.
 If Northwestern university can do this successfully there can be no sort of doubt about it's future. fer it wIl have solved the problem of all age-. We shall know at least-for the stud ents can hardly keep il to thems lives why women say no when they mean yes" why they gay don't" when they mean ''do," why they step backward off of street cars. and why they do a lot of other things that have been incom- prehensible since the days of Adam.
 Whether it will do male humanity any good to know why women do things that man is at present unable to understand, is a question. We arg inclined to say eff hand that the less man knows about the myst erious ways of women the better for himself. She IS an adorable thing in the sight of sensible men now because they do not understand her. If they understood her as well, for example. as they unde-- stand each other they might cease to find in her ways and whims. h,r moods and tenses that charm which always attaches to mystery.
 A course of lectures on the n=vchCI. ogy of woman may result in teaching the Northwestern university students that popular understanding of wcm- an means the ability to understand that she cannot be understood. and with this possibility in view there is no req son wh- Professor Hatfieli's idea should not be encouraged.-Ch Inter Ocean.
