Woman, the Higher
Education and
Marriage,
II.
By President l. CLARK sHELYE of smith College. Northampton, Mass

%sEzEZ 0 determine how marriages and births arc affected by col
A legiate education there should be an extensive comparison
VI COLLEGIATE AND NONCOLLEGIATE
S WOMEN in corresponding social and physical conditions.
What is still more important is to take into account the
different social and physical condition Of those thus educated. Ono
must know from what classes they come and whether they were PHYS
ICAILY sound at their entrance to college.
Due credit should also be given to the abundant testimony that the
majority of women improve physically as well as mentally during their
college course.
Women's colleges take as pupils those who have suffered from
hereditary ailments, from the requirements Of fashion and from a low
estimate of the dignity and capacity of womanhood. In spite of these
drawbacks they have clearly demonstrated woman's physical and in
telectual capacity for a collegiate education. Their graduates are bet
ter qualified FOR WITEHOOD AND FOR MOTHERHOOD.
They are as ready to wed as other women wheh. the right man wooes
them, but many causes now lead men in active life to postpone mar
riage, and the longer it is postponed the less inclined they are to assume
its responsibilities.
Women cannot take the initiative and seek a husband, and laugh-
tors, in this country at least, arc no longer contracted III marriage by
their parents.
Marriages of convenience are not made as often by college gadu-
atcs, for they do not feel OBLIGED TO MARRY in order to escape
poverty or dependence, and they marry more frequently educated men
who desire congenial companionship.
THERE ARE ACCORDINGLY FEWER DIVORCES AMONG THEM.
Their children are limited by the same causes which are dominant
in the society to which they belong.
Excessive menta.ty may interfere with fecundity, but the fact is
there is very little excessive mentality at present either in colleges for
men or for women.
Nor is the charge true that colleges for women arc aping the col
leges for men. In many customs and requirements they are duly
mindful of the difference in sex and are giving woman advantages for
PERFECTING WOMANEOOD which it would be difficult for her
to find elsewhere.
The sexual differentiation desired should be secured by different
modes of life rather than by DIFFERENT STUDIES.
A man does not become feminine by writing poetry norea woman
masculine by studying mathematics; and it would prove a serious de-
feet in the higher education of women if it were shaped merely with
reference to a particular vocation. An UNDUE PROMINENCE
to marriage and maternity may prove as pernnous as if they were
neglected.
THE GENERAL CULTURE WHICH PRODUCES SOUND JUDO
MENT is A GOOD PREPARATION FOR ANY VOCATION TO WHICH
A WOMAN MAY BE CALLED.

Concerning the new Board of Free.

Concerning the new Board of Free
holders, the Newark Evening News
says:
Mfdufesex county viii probably
save $4,000 this year, possibly even
$4,000, by the abolition of its old
Board of ~Freeholders and the substi-
tuition Of IA new and smaller board
il4s will be one of the first results
of the change, and will further serve
to commend the small board system
to all those counties that have thus
far feared to adopt the Strong law.
The members of the new board are
devoting a.. their time to the work,
but are not charging for more than
thirty-one days in each month, as
was done under the old regime. They
are looking over all the county de-
partments, and, although some of the
county expenses will necessarily be
increased, they hope and expect to
reduce the tax budget far below the
figures of last year. When the men,
bers of the old board voted the
~ appropriations for the last time
they made them nearly $500, 600, or
about $4,000 higher than ever be-
fore. insisting that the county bust
ness could not be properly managed
for less money. It is evident enough
already that the old board INDUCED
in useless. wastcful and excessive eX-
penditures, and that the people got
rid of them none too oon Hunter
don county made a great saving the
first year 81 abolished its old board,
and MiddleseX is doing almost as
we'll. Counties desiring good govern
ment and economical management
are commended TO the experiences of
Hunterdon and MiddleseX.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Camden Post-Telegram;
Some of the Methodist ministers
are said to be of the opinion that
local option was not killed by the
adverse vote on assembly bill No. is,
last Monday night, and believing
that there is a chance to renew the
fight before the present legislature,
will ask the New Jersey Conference,
when it meets at New Brunswick,
tomorrow, to take decisive action.
These optimistic ministers are
chasing a will-o-the-wisp. Local
option is as dead as a door nail. No
agitation. no pressure that could be
brought to bear on the legislature
would secure the passage of a local
option measure. The hoodoo cast
on the Miller bill when it received
only thirteen votes in the House will
remain for the session. The vote
fairly represents the limit of support
II local option would
have.
The Methodist ministers might
better bend their energies to check
ing the saloon evil, by giving hearty
support to the bishops bill, d re-
strictive measure that has some
chance of passage. Why waste en-
ergy on Impossible legislation when
the evil can be reduced by a bill
which is likely to become a law If
supported by the united church in
fuence of the state.
Jersey City journal:
The bad bill that adds a large sec
ton of territory to the borough of
Atlantic Highlands without giving
the residents Of the annexed terri
tory an opportunity to consent or
dissent, has borne fruit.
Assemblyman Scribe has a bill to
cut off a slice of Newark and add il
to East Orange.
Senator Brown has a bill TO add
a section of Neptune township to
Asbury Park.
Assemblyman Heck has a bill to
annex part of Orvil and Washington
townships to the borough OF Mont
vale.
Assemblyman Warren has a bill
to create a new township in Ocean
county from sections Of Ocean, Lacy,
Berkeley, Dover and Brick town
ships.
None of these bills provide for a
referendum. They simply annex so
much territory arbitrarily, Ii is pos
sible that each and all are good
bills, but the principle is bad and
the bills should be amended to allow
the people to consent if they 50 de-
sire.

these 100 were by Republicans and
30 10y Democrats. AT the recent
city election 40 ballots were cast.

cast their ballots.

tative, although defeated for the
nomination, received the highest
vot, east for any candidate in ST.
Johns, pulling IIS votes.
The light vote may be accounted
for from the fact that there was no
organized plan of campaign. II

after be known as the Citizens
Band of ST Johns. \ new in
strucior has been secured in the
person of s. Il. Wright, a former
L. s. army bandmaster. Mr..
Wright is an experienced director
of music, and has had a wide ex-
perience in teaching and handling
amateur bands. He is a strict dis
ciplarian. and hopes TO he able to
give 81. Johns a good musical or
ganization OF which the city may
well feel proud II is his intention
To induce other musicians to locate
in St. Johns, and he will be careful
to see that all are sober, reliable and
desirable men. No others will be
tolerated. Mr. Wright will ask
the business men OF the city to help
him create and maintain a good
band in the city by furnishing EN-
ployment for a few good musicians.
The band was reorganized with a
membership of sixteen, and this
number will be increased as fast as
possible. None but those who are
interested in having a good band,
and who will work for their own
advancement and the welfare of
the organization are wanted as
members, and none others will be
retained. A band cannot possibly
be success III small city unless
the people will assist and encourage
the members. In return, 1t will be
the policy of the band to place its
services at the disposal Of the peo-
pie TO a greater extent than any
similar organization has heretofore
done. Let the band and the peop'e
work in unison for the good Of the
organization, and with a long pull,
a strong pull and a pull altogether,
give the city Of St. Johns band
that will be not only a source Of
pleasure for the people to listen to,
but an advertisement for the city
and a credit to its leader, itself and
the city.
