Woman and the College.

Despite the many beautiful and
prosperous colleges for women all
over this country, it is still a question
in many parental minds whether or
not a college education is a woman's
best preparation for life. There is a
fairly prevalent idea that college
women too often develop the intellect
at the expense of the sympathies,
that they set mental standards which
are higher than their husbands have
leisure to reach, or, worse, that,
wanting better bread than can be
made out of wheat, they refrain from
marriage altogether. The higher ed
ucation too often leads them to choose
a life OF self-exp1oitation, and to pur-
sue caIlings which ultimately may,
and yer likely Will, play them false,
and leave them lonely and embittered
in a world where the fullest happi-
ness is to be found in beneneent hui
man relations.
While all this is, on the face OF it,
possible, there is e great deal to be
said on the other side. It is true that
la thorough education discip1ines the
tGG1OIAO1S. IL IL O1SC1Q1lAS EA0m away
altogether it does an irremediable in
jury. If, however, it merely controls
1.-The sentimentality of youth by train
ing Judgment, it is an effective force
for good. Life will bring out the
tsympathies of those VINO have them
sooner or later, and to be delivered
from the sentimental ebullitions of
girlhood is not SO appalling a matter,
after I'll.
There seems TO be no doubt that
the c1tcf weakness Of the feminine
mind, as differentiated from the mas
cuIine, is to see life personally A
woman, more than a man, is encum-
,bered by herself and hedged by limi-
tations. she cannot, by the inherent
mature CT things, take so many risks
or lead so experimental a life as a
MAJ, and her education is, therefore,
a riatter not of less but Of greater
moment. She must have thorough,
going knowledge, because, less than
a man, can she afford a wrong reac,
ton. Her interests must be widenedl
evenemo1e carefully than q mans be.

Ego Strain and Health.

The striking assertion that probably
One-fourth of the educated people of
this country suffer from Affections di-
rectly traceable to eye strain is made
by DR.. L. II. Gulick, director of phys
ical training in the New York public
schools. That the impressions convey
ed to the brain through the eyes fur
nish the foundation of our thinking is
the belief of the doctor, and he de-
clares that constant exhaustion and
strain of these visual centers cause
disturbances of the most extensive
character" Not alone headache, but
backache, hysteria and even epileptic
disorders, DR.. Gulick asserts, may be
traced to the abuse Of the eyes by
overeNactions upon the powers of the
nerves conveying the impressions of
sight to the brain.
We generally mea to speak fgura-
lively when we say that under certain
circumstances everything "looks blue"
Things don't look right to the eyes
that is, do not impress the brain and
thought normally, and we feel "blue''
over it. DR.. Gulick's theory is that I'M
consciously the physical powers are
worried and taxed and the general
health impaired because the eyesight
is strained unduly in the effort to adj
just appearances and facts. His atten-
ton is directed primarily to the young
in schools. He says that the unhappy
and the mischievous scholar may be-
come so by reason of an eye defect,
which renders study disagreeable and
perhaps impossible. The savage youth
does not use his eyesight ''poring over
miserable books and is free from nu-
merous ills which aff1ict the child of
civilization.
But it is not alone close book work
which eXerts q bad influence on eye
sight and health. This authority thinks
that women should Danish wells, that
eyes should always be shaded from the
direct rays of light and that reading on
moving cars and badly adapted spec
tacles intensity existing defects in
the eyes and may result in both phys
zeal and nervous disorders.
