These opportunities are supplement-
ed by those which the European uni
varsities offer and which give to the
American student the broader culture
which comes from contact with the
old-world civilization, although the
actual academic advantages may be
10 greater, and sometimes not as great
as in our own country. There is to-
day a wide chance for choice in study
abroad. The classical student feels
that her course is incomplete unless
she has shared in the advantages Of
the classical schools at Athens and
Rome; the historian finds her way to
the Sorbonne, as we'll as to the Ger
man and English universities; tht
scientist to Zurich and Naples; the
mathematician to Gottingen. Every
year these opportunities for advanced
work become more accessible as uni
versities, colleges and associations in
crease the number of foreign fellow
ships, realizing the value of this broad
er outlook after the years Of close
academic work.
The character of the work done by
| women has greatly changed within the
last few years. At the beginning OF
the movement for their higher educa-
ton it was often said that, while they
showed great proficiency in lines OF
work requiring the powers Of absorp-
ton and retention, they would prove
themselves inferior in that which de-
manded originality and the more log
| ical qualities of mind. Experience has
proved the contrary and to-day in the
| fields of scholarship women are taking
foremost place as investigators n
history, science, mathematics and
philosophy, studies which demand the
exercise Of the highest logical powers
A woman's genius for detail and her
| habit of perseverance fit her peculiar
ly for the exact and exacting work de-
manded of the student who is making
historical investigation, with all its
minute detail, or studying the life and
habits of some tiny creature in the
world of science. Again, woman's
sense of proportion and love of beauty
aid her in the work of criticism, where
| her daintiness and sureness of touch
are invaluable. There is wide field
| for women as critics, not only in art
music and literature, but also in phil
osophy, social science and political
| economy.

LOCAL BANK BILL OPPOSED.
SENATE May Make Effort to Recall
1t from House.

II IS expected that an effort will be made
to-day in the Senate to recall from the
House the bill passed Tuesday night pro-
viding a banking law for the District.
Under the rules this may be done within
three days after the passage of a bill.
There is strong opposition 10 the bill in
the House When it came I'D on report
from the House District Committee two
weeks ago. a storm of protest made II
necessary for Chairman Babcock to with
draw it. The ground OF objection is that
the bill gives a monopoly TO four private
banking concerns. and excerpts them from
the terms Of the proposed law.
Three District banking bills were intro
duced yesterday by Mr.. Kline, Of PennsyI-
vania, a member of the District Commit
tee, and also of the subcommittee on cor
poratons- BY these bills he seeks TO
suggest that banks incorporated under
State laws should be permitted to do bust
ness here IL they come under the pro-
visions OF the national banking law and
pay the taxes imposed on them. The same
rule. he believes, should be applied to pri-
vate bankers, and one of the bills he In
troduced allows private bankers to do
business subject TO the supervision Of the
national bank law, after paying a District
license of $500.
Yesterday was the last regular meeting
day of the District Committee 10 considef
bills, and no action was taken on the
banking bill. which the House allowed to
be withdrawn. The general opinion OF
members Of the District Committee and of
members generally In the House is that
there will be no legislation of the sort

comes from the House committee. is sup
ported by petitions of citizens Of the
northeast section to the number OF many
thousands That part Of Washington has
been working for ten years TO get this
line Of communication, and the Capital
Traction Company is ready TO build the
road as soon as authorization can be had
from Congress
