stephona on mIghor EducalIon

The recent number of the Con.
federate Veteran contains an in.
teresting article on Alexander
Stephens, which shows him 20
have been an advocate of the
higher education of women at n
time when such advocacy was on.
ly an occasion for ridicule. The
writer says: while Mr.. Steph-
ems educated fifty young men he
was Jealous for the education of
women as well. He is said to
have been the prime promoter in
the establishment of a college for
young women in Georgia, said to
be the first college established
in the world for the higher edu-
cation of women. But this point
is challenged in the record of
Mary Stark College Winchester,
Tennessee.
In a speech on the Macon Col
lege in 1859 Mr.. Stephens said:
Then there was not in the State
nor in the world l believe, a sin
gle chartered university for the
education and regular graduation
of women. Whatever honor,
therefore, Georgia is entitled to
for her other great works of i'm
provement and achievement, let
this still be at the top. the crown.
ing point of her glory, that she
took the lead of all the world in
female education.
And as Alexander Stephens
said of his State we may say of
him, that the GROWING point of
of his glory as a man and a states
man is that he had the wisdom
and the courage to be an advocate
of woman's educational rights at
a period when educational rights
for women seemed as radical a
demand as political rights for wo-
man now seem.
