National Suffrage Meeting.
Speaking OF the convention OF the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association held re-
GENTLY at Buffalo the Woman's Journal
says:
The event that spread more 10y among
the delegates than any other one thing
raising the money for the coming years
work. After Miss Shaw had explained the
needs of the association and Mrs. Upton.
lured the last dollar out of the pockets
OF the state delegations. and we were still
short Of the mark, Mrs. George Howard
Lewis came to the rescue with a munifi-
cent check for $4,000. which fairly took the
conventions breath away and filled every
body with rejoicing.
Domestic Arts I'm College.
The growing tendency to incorporate do
nestle science and arts into the curriculum
of colleges and universities for women
seems likely to suffer a temporary backset
or at least to encounter some opposition
from members of the faculty OF several ed
ucational institutions who believe that these
subjects have no place IN institutions for
higher education. They point out that there
Is not time for them and that their teach
ing is not consistent. Miss Mary Carey
Thomas, president OF Bryn Mawr. said re-
Gently:
The tendency nowadays is to throw the
entire responsibility on teachers, instead of
mothers. Colleges are not the places in
which to train a girl in every detail OF her
home duties and to specialize as sociologists
suggest.
