Our Manly Training Of Girls.

Our training of girls approaches
close to the idiotic, claims Katharine
Eggleston in Woman's Home Compan..
ion for June. The average girl, from
the minute she leaves her dolls to go
to kindergarten. till she matriculates
at college, Is told about men and mems
work-never about women. The kim
dergarten songs and tales are about
Lincoln and Washington-and even
the pictures OF animals show the Hon
and forget the lioness. In older child
hood she is taught to build sand forts
instead of good old fashioned mud
pies. and even the sums in arithmetic
dwell on "Billy's" marbles and Johns"
apples. to the total neglect of his sis
ter.
Later still she goes to high school
and learns history with all its Ideals
of brave men-and here again the wo-
mans share of quiet courage is COM
pletely overshadowed. She learns carr
pentering. although she cannot cook
an egg or sew a seam. And finally.
her education finished. she knows all
about the higher mathematics and is
short changed by the butcher. She
learns political economy. but doesn't
know who are the members Of her
own school board. Miss Eggleston's
bright article concludes:
