The ideal of woman's perfect racial service has
been but blindly CROPPED after and is only just
being studied in moderately intelligent way for
the first time. The old unintelgent racial service
defeated it's highest ends both by the reaction of
the mothers ignorance upon the children, and by
the unfavorable reaction of the womans dwarfed
intellect upon her own health and happiness. The
latest enthusiasm in womens education is the in
PRODUCTION into schools for girls of courses of
study designed to formulate home making and
family expenditure into sciences. This is all good
in ITSELF and may in time be put basis worthy
to give it place among the applied sciences At
present the application seems to preponderate over
the science to an extent which demands caution.
