W0MENS HIGHER EDUCATION.
President Eliot Thinks IL should
Recognize Maternal Function.

President Eliot. q Harvard. IN Leslies Weekly.
Higher education IN the future should
recognize the fact that the majority Of
women take up the occupation Of train
ing children. the married ones as mothers.
and many OF the unmarried ones In the
interest ~ mothers Training children
is the normal occupation OF woman, and
its Importance in education has probably
not been recognized because il has not
hitherto been regarded as an intellectual
pursuit Yet. 70 is the most Intellectual
occupation in the world In no natter
what walk OF life. II calls always for
great moral and carefully trained mental
powers. What a great power a reading
mother has 10 train the minds Of her
children, This normal occupation Of
woman should Toe the main object hence
forth In the education Of women. and no
longer should her education be a mere
imitation Of that Of the man. on such
a basis / believe higher education viii
truly perfect the home life and household
JOY. II is certainly not the chief end Of
a wOman's life to enter mans occupa-
tior. as was intended when higher educa-
tion was advocated FOR her Il is high
time that that idea OF an education for
her was abandoned and that the aim
should be 10 develop in woman the ca

physically, mentally, and spiritually.

A Word to pinina ucstornOrs

We have absolutely no patience with
those apparently resourceless and thick
witted male human beings out West who
are continually yawplng about wanting
wives and being unable to get them. II is
worthy ambition to desire a wife. and
in these days Of high prices, the ability
and willingness to pay board for two in
dicates. besides, a degree Of prosperity
most pleasant TO contemplate. So far
as these points go, the men out West
are invulnerable. 1t is their methods Of
attempting to secure better halves that
cause us TO regard them with sCorn. not
to say suspicion. as to their mental equip
ment, and thus 10 cast contumely upon
them. Some Of them. hearing Of the
arrival at Eastern ports of many young
women from abroad, have written to
steamship agents asking that a few
thousand of the newcomers be shipped
out TO waiting wouId-be husbands incon
tinently and forthwith. Such a proceed
ing, we submit, would reflect credit on
nobody concerned, and we blush for the
Westerners responsible for the suggestion.
Others of a similar turn Of mind have
organized themselves into clubs. the
object of which is to induce marriaEeable
femininity to go West The latest of these.
according to the dispatches. is the Affinity
Club, OF Spokane. Significantly enough.
the number Of its members is twenty
three; but even If it were otherwise. the
fact that the organization is foredoomed
TO failure is obvious. The idea OF ex-
pecting self-respecting young women 10
respond to such transparency Inadequate
offers as these Westerners submit is
ridiculous. Women like to be courted. not
advertised for; and certainly any wife
worth having is worth some real effort
at conquest. II the mournful bachelors of
Spokane and other Coast towns were
wise, they would spend some of the cash
OF which they claim 10 be so freely pos
sessed in buying railroad tickets to Wash
ington. Here. il they are any kind OF
men, they may secure wives worth COM
ing many times the distance across the
continent TO WOO. Afterward they prob
ably would be so charmed with condi-
tons in the District. where every pros
pect pleases and only the approach TO
the New Union Station Is vile. that they
would decide TO remain permanently. BY
so doing they would gain in every way.
for surely no sensible man. after seeing
Washington, would care TO return to a
section of the country where. for
reasons which any shrewd person ought
TO divine. there are vastly more men than
women 1t is beyond us why any man
should wish to so there in the first place.
If they do not care TO come this far.
the Westerners might stop In Kentucky

and interview the desirable maidens who.
according TO the Courier-Journal. are so
plentiful there. OR. If mere quantity will
satisfy them. they might journey TO
Texas and look over the 9S7. 500 red-headed
widows-if these figures are wrong. the
Houston Post will correct us-and the
maids of marriageable age VINO reside
in that State. We do not recommend
either Of these alternatives. however. To
be absolutely on the safe side the West
eTners in search OF mates should come
directly to the Capital and secure intro
auctions to it's Incompatible collection of
sweet and beauteous girls. But they must
come in person. Advertisements don't
go; and We wish it distinctly understood
that we shall permit no filing OF c. o.
ID. orders

prospects Of currency LeeislntIon.

That an earnest attempt will be made
10 secure legislation corrective OF the
weak places in our currency system at
this session Of Congress is already certain.
Both the House Committee on Banking
ana Currency and the Senate Committee
on Finance have promptly taken up the
work Of preparing a currency measure
and OF sounding Congressional sentiment.
with a view to ascertaining the practical
bic lines along which such a measure
must be framed in order to carry with Il
the support of the majority. The Senate
committee is 4 notably strong one and
1t seems probable that upon it will fall
the chief burden Of whipping into shape
the new legislation The House COM
mittee contains at least two members
Messrs. Fowler and Burton-who are
thoroughly familiar with every phase
Of the financial question, and both are
experienced and conservative legislators
With these men dominating the House
committee. and Senators Aldrich, Allison.
and Hale the most influential members Of
the Senate committee, there Is no chance
that unwise or ill-considered measures Of
currency reform viii gain standing at
either end Of the Capitol

as to a central bank Of issue. Our bank
Grs and financiers themselves are not in
agreement on either of these plans. and
however acceptable they may be theoret-
ically. there is little evidence that they
would be acceptable politically.
The probabilities, therefore, point to an
adaptation of the national bank currency
TO emergencies by permitting additional
bond-secured issues, as suggested in the
Presidents message. It will require some
thing worse than vanishing monetary
stringency. for which great many people
hold the banks responsible, to force Con-
gress TO bring about really comprehen-
sive and satisfactory reform of our cur
rency system. We must perforce be con-
tent with the moderate measure which II
now seems probable is the best that can
be had under the political and financial
conditions prevailing.

An Up.to.the.Minute Farmer

Ihat the motto on the coins, clearing
house certificates, and the whatnots of
modern business and legislative move
ments and manipulation need have no
terrors for farmers of intelligence and
circumspection is proven most abundant
ly in the case of one DR.. w. c. Brown.
Of Newberry, S. c. II all the asricultu-
raj achievements attributed to this mar
ticular genius by the Newberry Herald
and News are true. his methods are well
worth studying by those interested in
SUCH matters; provided. of course. he
may be induced 60 reveal the secrets
thereof.
We read in the Herald and News some
startling statements about the prowess
Of DR.. Brown. We note that he thinks
little or nothing of raising twenty bales
Of cotton on fourteen acres of land:
while he is credited quite casually with
gathering sixty bushels of oats from one
certain acre of ground, only to replant
II Immediately in corn and reap ninety
bushels OF that, His motto is. How
much better it is TO plant a few acres
and gather as much grain as we gather
from many acres!"
We have not the pleasure Of DR..
Browns acquaintance We are not IA
miliar with the result getting lines along
which he proceeds. We suspect. however
that he is one of those agriculturists
with whom the government at Washing
ton has been in league and toward whom
attention is directed in the Presidents
message TO Congress, wherein he says:
The Department Of Agriculture has in many
oAees perhaps especially in certain districts Of the
SSuth. accomplished an extraordinary amount by CO
operating with and teaching the farmers
how to incTease their income By managing their
arms better than they were heretofore managed.
If our paternal government is. really.
responsible for Dr. Browns methods of
sultivating the soil, its work has not
been in vain. Down South the farm that
produces one bale Of cotton to the acre
heretofore has been considered a wonder.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1907-12-06

AS a rule. the production has hardly
averaged one bale 10 two acres. Here is
man who makes one and one-half bales
to the acre, practically. and thinks light
ly OF il. AS TO the other performance
noted, II is no less wonderful.
We do not state 1t for a fact that DR..
Brown has been in league with the gov
eminent. The case is one dependent
largely upon circunistantial evidence. of
course. The great success of his cultiva-
ton. however. coupled with the govern
ment's well-known willingness to under
take the proper regulation of any and
everything under the sun, leads us 20
suspect that credit for his eminence
among his neighboring farmers is. after
all. plainly traceable to Washington. If
this be true. we see no good and sufficient
reason why the further title of post
master" may not some day be added TO
the doctors name.

GYROSCoPES IN SHIPS.
Successful Demonstration Of StabiI-
ity TO Rolling Motion.
From the London Times.

From the London Times
On three days Of last week interesting
trials were made of Tynemouth to demon
starte the effect Of the gyroscopic ap-
paratus devised BY DR.. SchIick on the
rollins motions Of ships in a seaway.
They were conducted in the following
manner: The vessel was placed broadside
On 70 the waves, or nearly SO, with the
gyroscope fixed. and was allowed TO roll
freely. The maximum inclinaflons 10 the
vertical attained were on several Oc-
casions fifteen degrees on each side. The
motion Of the vessel was very quick the
period Of oscillation for double roll with
the gyroseope fixed slightly exceeded four
seconds. When a considerable oscillation
had been attained the gyroscope apparatus
was set free by releasing the brakes. by
which il had been previously held. and
was permitted TO osciliate lOngituGinally
about traverse horizontal axis, the bear
ingS OF which were attached TO the hull
or the vessel The effect upon the rolling
was most remarkable. II was "damped"
immediately. and after a few oscillations
was practically extinguished, the deck re
naming almost horizontal, which the yes
sci heaved up and down Some Of the
nautical representatives on board were OF
opinion that. II the rolling could be ex-
tinguished in this manner and the deck
kept nearly horizontal. there would be
risk OF the waves breaking on board 20
a greater extent than when the vessel
was rolling Observation. however. proved
that the contrary was true; the deck
kept perfectly dry as the vessel heaved
up and down with the gyroscope in ac-
ton, and the conditions were much more
comfortable than they We're when the
gyTOscOpe was fixed and the vessel per
United 10 roll broadside on 20 the waves.
These results absolutely confirmed those
previously obtained in Germany and
greatly impressed the representatives Of
the steamship lines who witnessed them.
II is anticipated that the result OF the
demonstration viii be the practical ad0p-
ton OF the system I'm certain steamships

Danger of Reaction.

From the Baltimore News.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done many things
that it were better he had not done. and
has said many things that it were better
he had rot said: but the danger just at
this moment is not that the country will
go TOO far in the way OF refOrmatory ac-
uvity. but quite the opposite. II is that
taking advantage Of the financiaF trou-
bles. the men who profit by evil prac-
tees will be able 10 submerge the whole
programme of Improvement and that the
country may in the not distant future
enter once again upon a vicious cycle
OF prosperity saturated with rottenness.
