or post graduate high schools and uni
versities. All branches OF learning
which are taught in the grammar schools
and the regular high schools may be
classed as common school training.
Now, what do we understand by the
term essential. TO my mind this means
whatever may be necessary for the sue
cessful performance of the functions and
purposes of ones life. 1t is exactly here
that the paths which men and women
pursue separate and become diverse. 1t
is unreasonable to maintain that the edu-
cation of men and women should be the
same in all particulars because OF the
claim made by the advanced woman that
she is the equal, mentally, OF man. 1t
is not question of her ability to master
abstruse learning, but rather of her abil-
ity and adaptibility in applying he"
knowledge to those purposes for which
her life stands. President Jordan, him
self strong advocate of the higher edu-
cation of women, makes the statement
that "while they have greater readiness
of memory and apprehension, while IN
language, literature in mathematics and
history they are often found to excel,
still on the whole they lack originality.
They are not attracted by unsolved prob
lens, and in the inductive and ineXact
sciences, they seldom take the lead. They
do not work for results as much as for
the pleasure of study"
These peculiar characteristics at
least place certain limitations upon
woman's training. They may be consid-
cred her mental limitations, and while
of decided Importance, they are to my
mind, worthy of less consideration than
are her physical limitations. The health
of our American women is the subject
of much thought at the hands OF our
most prominent educators. Dr. Parsons
in careful dissertation on "The Amer
lean Girl versus Higher Education,
believes "that the tendency is towards
setting up wrong ideals for our girls,
instead of endeavoring to develop the
girl into womanly woman. Higher
education instis them with the thought
that woman s chief function in life IS
to vie with man in the struggle to at
tain the highest standards. The deli
cate organism and sensitive and highly
developed nervous system Of our girls,
was never intended by the Creator to
undergo the stress and strain of the mod
ern system Of higher education. The
i'll effects of confinement in school rooms,
the necessary omission of out OF door

girls are budding or have just blossomed

point to this argument, let me quote
from an article by DR.. Van Dyke, in
which he states: Imagine if you can
a novelist writing in this way: She was
pale, thin and plain looking with a pee
wish temper because Of i'll health, but
Almond loved her devotedly, passion
ately; although lacking youth, beauty
and of cold nature, very great was her
knowledge of theosophy, the lore of the
ancients and of the differential and inte-
gral calculus'' The author says fur
ther, 'why even Marie Corelli or Mary
johnson would not think of a man fall
ing in love with such a heroine
TO what end should woman s educa
ton be directed? In other words,
what may be considered her chief
function in life? 'The highest
product of social evolution is the
growth of the civilized home. The
home that only wise, cultivated
high minded woman can make" This
does not mean that she must possess a
mass of learning, but that she must be i'll
a position to apply such knowledge OF
facts as she possesses towards the full
fillment Of her duties. Without this
ability, imparting to her additional
knowledge is, so Whately terms it, like
attempting to enlarge the prospect Of a
short sighted man by bringing him to the
top of the hill since he could not on the
plain see distinctly the objects before
him, the wider horizon from the hill!
top is utterly lost on him.
The duties imposed in the home are
those of wife and mother What more
potent factor in the world s civilization
than woman, and this has remained un-
changed from the worlds earliest his
tory The Spartan mother and the true
twentieth century mother have the same
function in the home. The conditions OF
the age control the working details, but
the principles are and always will be the
same, and her influence will never be
less
The mental attainments OF a mother
constitute but one side of her career.
Her physical nature should be carefully
guarded and in the training nothing
should be demanded which will interfere
with her physical well being. Do not
understand me to say that woman should
be mere provocative animal. One may
well question the wisdom of Roosevelt's
agitation on race suicide or Burbank
rather extreme views. In his book on

Commission in Lunacy Tor the year l9Ul,
shows that Of 35, ,OO6 women admitted to
the State Hospital for the insane during
the preceding eight years, 1908 or

Gated -
An English writer makes the state
ment that 'in America, the college
women when she does marry, is often
barren or when she has children she Is
incapable Of rearing them.' This, he
believes is in an increasing degree due
to the growing unftness for motherhood
by the highly educated woman" Van
Dyke states that mature has ordained
that the vast majority OF women shall
become wives and mothers and it they
are exhausted mentally as well as phys
ically how is it possible to keep the race
strong and healthy Parsons further
asks the question: "Does the higher
education Of women pay when it is taken
into consideration that the health OF
prospective wives and mothers is thus
endangered"
But, you will say that all women are
not destined to become wives and moth
ers. From necessity or choice or for
other reasons many seek occupations
which may lead to renown and fame, or
which may afford an independent self
sustaining existence. What are some of
these vocations and how many women fit
themselves for them?. have often felt
that my daughter should be so trained
that were she placed in position which
compelled her to be self-susporting, she
would be prepared for such an emerg
ency as well as if she were man, and
[ still feel that women, even though
they may never be called to depend upon
this, should nevertheless be prepared for
such unforeseen necessity What then
is open to her? First, there is the pro-
fession Of teaching, to which the major
ity Of women first turn. She may be a
school teacher, music teacher, a teacher
Of painting, a teacher of physical cul-
ture. None Of these occupations de-
mands an extremely advanced course OF
education with the exception of the
teaching of the higher branches in
schools and colleges. The field for
which a woman is preeminently fitted is
the teaching Of the lower grades, par
ticularly that wonderfully attractive
school, the kindergarten. What shall
we say Of women instructors in the
higher branches? This has been the sub
ject Of much controversy recently in
New York where the women teachers
