FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

II is rare IN these DAYS 20 find a woman
who gives proper consideration TO the
need OF rest Tor the body. An occasional
one is brought 10 my notice by accident
and invariably find her 70 be weli-bal-
anced and able 10 accomplish a deal more
than her nervous. pushing sisters In
variably she IS plump and amiable. and
good TO live with.
The latest 20 whom my attention was
called is the wife Of professional man.
and the mother Of three chfIdren. She has
social position and a comfortable income.
and is not able 20 escape care and work.
She is a capable housewife. and succeeds
in managing four maids so well that
changes in her domestic STAFF are few
and FAR between. but she does Il by in
s5sting upon the worth Of her money. and
by being absolutely fair and goOd-tem-
pered- She does not expect impossibili-
ties. but win not tolerate shirlIing
She knows herself 50 well that she can
gauge her strength accurately. and when
she needs rest she takes Il. no matter
how many unfinished tasks stare her in
the face. Her children rest. too. and r
they cannot sleep they are expected 10
remain quiet with relaxed muscles and
nerves. The atmosphere Of the home is
refreshing for its calmness. and II IS no
ticeable directly the front door is opened.
Only this morning a friend who has not
wholly recovered from the effects Of a
long and tedious illness told me that she
felt that she must get out OF the atmoS-
phere OF tense nerves and the irritation
which accompanies them. and I advised
her 70 seek the cOmpaniOnship Of healthy,
cheerful persons. even though she had no
particular fondness for them. She would
absorb strength and repose where she
has been giving out from her own Scanty
store

health. and II these can be found In sufi-

Following the recent caustIc report OF
President Pritchett Of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement OF
Teaching. telling of the iaxity OF many
colleges and universities in enforcing
published entrance requirements for stu
dents. a genuine sensation has been Gre
ated by the statement Of the foundation's
secretary. Bowman. TO the effect that Har-
ward, Columbia, and New York ITniversi-
ty had been formally warned that they
would be excluded from the benefits Of
the Foundation If they did not make GER
tain improvements at once DR.. Pritchett
had pointed out that a large number OF
the students at Harvard, Columbia. Yale.
Amherst, Princeton. Wellesley. and Uni
verslty OF Illinois had been admitted with
out the necessary requirements. thus vio-
latiag the conditions Of the Foundation.
The reported warning was denied at the
three universities named in the Bowman
interview.
The reasons for the exclusion of the
George Washington University Of Wash
ington. d. C. from the further partici-
patton In the Carnegie Foundation have
been given 70 the public In the form of
letter from President Pritchett TO
President Needham. Of the university.
In the first place Dr. Pritchett refers TO
the fact that the productive endowment
OF the university has fallen far below the
minimum OF $4,000 named by the Foun-
dation for institutions eligible 70 its bene-
fits. the present endowment being found
to be only S123,500. He also said that the
executive committee Of the Foundation
had objected 10 the extraordinary ac-
tiOn" OF the university in "forclbly retir-
ing two professors. both OF whom are n
the prime OF their teaching activity. on
the ground that the institution needs
to save money by the employment OF
cheaper men, Such action DR.. Pritch-
ett tells DR.. Needham is mot only an
abuse OF the privileges OF the retiring
allowance system. but It is entirely con
trary 70 the spirit in which this founda-
