EDUCITION FOR WONEN.
Prussia Grants Equal Rights to
Those of Men.

Berlin Aug. 23.-German homes and German
newspapers have been far moro occupied during
the end Of the week with the Prussian govern
ment ssorcree granting higher education TO women
than by discussions German and British naval
ornaments or the meeting Of the two sovereigns-
The granting Of educational opportunities for girls
and womch equal TO those OF men is regarded as
marking a great change IN German life. where,
more than in states. women have been con-
sidcred the keepers OF the home and workers
in minor Industries.
The Introductory paragraphs of the decree of the
Ministry of Education which has been approved by
the Emperor. give the reasons for the change in
the system. Modern life says the decree. develops
an increasing Discrimination the part OF men OF
the upper classes to marry. and more girls in the
upper and middle classes are prevented from De-
coming wives and mothers. It is desirable there
fore that the surplus OF young women should have
a chance OF preparing themselves for professional
callings.
According to the scheme. girls are to be educated
in all studies embraced in specially arranged cur
ricuum, beginning d minimum age OF six years
At the end of the seventh school year the pupils
Will begin direrentiate in their studies. those
preparing for advanced instruction having special
courses laid out for them. After two years they
will again be arranged in divisions classical or
modern higher study respectively. Then after four
years work they will. under normal conditions. be
admitted examinations for niatrculation to the
universities
Iyp to this time their education will have been
carried on In separate schools. but in the uni
versity co-education will begin. Those who at
the end of the seventh school year do not elect
to take a university course may continue the orol-
nary courses until they reach the age OF sixteen,
after which they may leave school or take two
years In modern languages, music and domestic
accomplishments, or they may take four years
special training teachers.
This scheme has been under discussion and
preparation for a year. There has been an agita-
ton for equal privileges for the sexes since the
early SOS, and most of the other German states
have already granted them.
Frau Helene Lange has been a leading advocate
of this intellectual emancipation Professor Adolf
Harnack Of the University of Berlin. said to-day
that women now had equal rights with men TO
enter all the technical schools with the exception
of the art academies. and that this prohibition
probably would be removed soon.
