The seif.RelIant Girl.


The chief end Of doctors is to teach
people to keep well with the minimum
Of doctoring. The chief end Of au.
thority is to qualify people for self.
government. The chief end Of parents
and schools is to train children IN
wisdom and knowledge, that they
may be able to take care Of them
selves. That has long been under.
stood in It's relation to boys, writes E.
s. Martin, in Success Magazine. The
idea OF education for boys is to train
them up through obedience to liberty.
We want to make them free, and wise
enough to thrive on freedom. AS fast
as they can bear 1t we put upon them
Increased responsibility for their own
conduct, and their own use OF tins
and Of money. What we want OF them
finally Is not merely to respond with
docility to the care that Is taken Tor
them, but gradually to become quail
tied to take care Of somebody else. And
steadily and rapidly our civilization
has been coming to have like atti-
tude toward girls. They are not boys
In skirts, but very different creatures;
their needs are different, their ideal
work in life is different, the processes
of education which seem most profit
able for them are different; but in
them, too, we grow more and more
solicitous to develop the capacity to
take care of themselves and eventually
of others; to develop, indeed, all pos
sible capacities that are not incom'
patible with one another, and with the
highest and best and most important
destiny that life holds for girls.
