Because Prof. William I.

The pro- fessor's offense takes the form of all article on the mind of woman and the lower races ill the American Journal of Sociology, which appeared from the university press. Physical characteristics and historical incl dents, the writer says, "have inclosed woman in habits which she cannot or will not fracture" and which re- duces her to a secondary class. Like the negro, she got into the game late,' and consequently stands in the relative position of an amateur to a professional, he declares. "The world of modern life, he adds, "is a white mans world. Few women and per haps no blacks have ever entered this world in the fullest sense. To enter it in the fullest sense would be to be in it at every moment from the time of birth to the time of death, and tc absorb it unconsciously and conscious ly, as the child absorbs language"

V Let Us Talk Together of Many Things

Lord Wolseley's tribute to Lee: Where else ill history is greater man to be found whose whole life was one such blameless record of duty nobly done ? It was consistent in all it's parts, com plete in all it's relations. * His clear, sound judgment, personal cour- age, untiring activity, genius for war and absolute devotion to his state mark him as a public man, as a pa triot to be forever remembered by all Americans. *I have met many of the great men of my time, but Lee alone impressed me with the feel ing that I was in the presence of a man who was cast in a grander mould and made of finer metal than all oth- CT men. He is stamped upon my memory as being apart and superior to all others in every way; man with whom none I ever knew, very few of whom I have read, are worthy to be classed"
 It is, therefore, the grand and no- ble qualities in the man that we would have our boys emulate.
 Would that those qualities in the man that made him great and en- deared him to the soldiers, who wor- shipped "Marse Robert" as well as to his students in after life, might be held up constantly before the youth of our land!
 We can not. perhaps, expect oul boys to be Robert E. Lees, but let us encourage in every way possible fa- miliarity with such characters as his Let us try to cultivate in them the desire to learn of such men.
 The boy who is wideawake, active and mentally alert as the American boy is naturally, can not in the very nature of things, follow with inter- est the history of Washington, Lee Jackson, Lincoln and such examples of our country's strong and noble men and hold to a love for the dime novel and the cigarette.
 Let us hail with joy every influ- ence which tends towards the de- struction of the taste for the two last named evils which sap the manhood and the patriotism from the lives of many young men and boys.
 At meeting of the Memorial Chap ter U. D. C., in Little Rock, on Janu- ary 18th, Mrs. Josie Frazee Capple- man read the following original poem on Robert Edward Lee, and it sug- gests itself as an excellent memory lesson for the youth of our public schools:

Then to each loyal heart in Grey He spoke all tenderly, Of duty d0ne-a last farewell Sighed Robert Edward Lee. A few short years-a hero slept Within a hero's grave; A broken heart for those he loved, The South-he could not save. And now nation tribute pays To Southern chivalry, Through him, the leader of the

He llllpicSSlFt CGf0IuOlll6S duu C6l6- brations that have taken place recent -ly throughout the South in honor of ssN6er greatest hero, Robert Edward &a8ee, forcibly appeal to the thinking tN1ind as franght with deep and solemn meaning.
 In every way possible the South has done honor to his memory-by demonstrations and by tongue and pen. Never were more or greater tri- butes of respect paid to the memory of man or soldier.
 But this outward expression of love and reverence i'm presses one not so much as evidence of what men feel as for what it may do for the youth of our country and of our homes.
 To hold before children in the home, in the school, through the columns of the papers and periodicals, fre- uent and impressive reminders of a man like Lee, is to reach them by a surer and better way than by all the moral lectures that could be ut tered.
 Where is there boy who would not be stirred by a spirited recital or reading of Father Ryan's beautiful poem, "The Sword of Robert Lee?' @here is the boy who would not feel,
 pugh he might not be able to tell why, the deep and noble pathos of the concluding lines: "'Tis shrouded now in it's sheath again
 It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain, Defeated, yet without stain; Proudly and peacefully But it is not so much Lee, the sol- dier, as Lee, the man, with which we l wish to impress our boys. In very l interesting sketch of General Lee in the Taylor-Trotwood magazine, by ex- Governor Bob Taylor, he quotes from Dr. H. B. Shepherd: Great and star like as was the warrior, the man is ! greater"
