What becomes of the college girl?
Why, nothing unusual happens to
Them" said college president. "They
scatter all over the country and do
nothing particularly sensational.
1--WE just been looking over the
class book of a class that has been
cut of college ten years, and the sta
tistics show strong tendency toward
teaching and travel. There were
about 145 in the class when it sradu-
ated, and up to date only forty-one
husbands have been acquired.
"One-third of the class has travelled
abroad, while al but thirty mention
teaching and tutoring. About fifty
schools and col eyes
what the girls themselves regard
as the most important incident or
spot in the ten years since their grad
uation varies as much as the girls
themselves. Married on the hottest
day you ever saw to the best fellow,
records one. Married a lieutenant in
the United States navy. and since
then have lived in a trunk in various
PAGES as near the seacoast as posi-
ble' writes another.
Zone young woman writes tersely:
My native town can boast of but one
sane college woman and my family
questions that. Another records:
Had an attack of typhoid fever at
Constantinople which necessitated
French hospital, a Greek physician, a
nurse who spoke German and Turks
to carry sedan chairs
"a model aunt endeavoring to show
four sisters how to bring UP children,
frankly records another graduate:
Last two years occupied with clerical
work, household cares and advanced
course in measles is another record
Bookbinding has been the occupation
of one young woman.
Here's young woman whose spe-
cialty has been surgery and she has
performed a difficult operation on the
Maharani at the palace of the Maha-
raiah of Orrcha And here's a girl
who has evidently made up her mind
that she is going to be q spinster for
she's adopted a little girl.
This is the summing up of anoth-
er: Spent ,ast ten years in having
surgical operations, writing books and
music, and learning to ride buckine
bronco The girl who writes this
has a keen sense of humor: 'kfter
two years of nervous exhaustion got
married and am now emulating "The
Commuters Wife" in building a house
and garden And look at this girl.
After acquiring various degrees on
deep subjects and writing a learned
thesis, she says her present occupa
ton is 'nursemaid and housekeeper.'
"I defy any one to make thrilling
tac out of ten years in a private
school, writes one young woman and
another gives evidence that teaching
has not been an unmiXed JOY by writ
ing: For a year taught everything
under heaven, and now my specialties
have simmered down to Greek and
physical culture
Packed and unpacked,' is the
brief history of another.
1.-The most enthusiastic naturalist
in the state of Vermont is another
record. Bocn doing a little illustrat-
ing, bear shooting, and chaperoning,
modestly writes one young woman
who has really achieved much fame
as an artist.
THE pathetic record of another is:
Have achieved neither fame nor mat
rimony but be.ong TO many societies,
most of them respectable
But there is one feature about the
history of this class that is worth
noting. Nearly every member of it
has been busy in one way or another
If they have not been earning their
living or studying, they have inter
ested themselves in settlement work,
church work, etc. Washington Post.
