Grant Of Higher Education TO Wos
men Marks Deep Change
in German Life.

men Marks Deep Change
In German Life.
German homes and German news
papers have been far more occupied
with the Prussian's Governments de-
cree granting higher education to
the women than by discussions OH
German and British naval arma-
ments. The granting Of educational
opportunities for girls and women
equal to those of men is regarded as
marking a deep change in German
life, where, more than in more west
ern nations, women have been con-
sidered as the keepers of the home
and the workers in the minor indus
tries.
The Introductory paragraphs OF
the decree of the Ministry Of Edu-
cation, which has been approved by
the Emperor, recite the reasons for
the change in the system. Modern
life, says the decree, develops an
increasing disinclination on the part
of men of the upper classes to mar
fy, and more girls in the upper and
middle classes are prevented from
becoming wives and mothers. 1t Is
desirable, therefore, that the sur
plus of young women should have
a chance Of preparing themselves
for professional callings, and that
they should be trained In the higher
mental functions.
According to the scheme. girls are
to be educated in all studies en-
braced in a specially arranged cur
age of six years. At the end of the
seventh school year the pupils will
begin to differentiate in their stud
| les, those preparing for advanced in
struction having special courses laid
out for them, such as Latin. After
two years they will again be arrang-
ed in divisions, classical or modern
higher studies respectively. Then
after four years work they will, un-
der normal conditions, be admitted
| to examinations for matriculation to
the universities.
UP to this time their education
will have been carried on in separ-
ate schools, but in the university CO.
education will begin under condi-
tions similar to those governing men
students. Those who at the end Of
the seventh school year do not elect
to specialize for university course
may continue the ordinary courses
until they reach the age of 18, after
which they may leave school or take
two years in modern languages, mu-
sic and domestic accomplishments,
or they may take four years special
| training as teachers.
! This scheme has been under dis
cussion and preparation for year.
There has been an agitation for
equal privileges for the sexes since
the early eighties, and most of the
other German States have already
granted them.
Frau Helene Lange, the noted ed
ucationalist, has been a leading adj
vocate of this intellectual emancipa-
ton. Prof. Adolf Harnack of the
University of Berlin said that wo-
men now have equal rights with
men to enter all the technical
schools. with the exception of the
art academies, and that this prohi-
bition is likely soon to be removed.

JAP W0MEN'S IDEA
AMERICANS ARE ACCUSED OF
THE HABIT OF DIsCONTENT.
When q Woman Is Well Cared For
In General She Feels More Keenly
a Little Neglect on Occasions.


In American homes the mistress
apparently receives the first consid-
Grafton. Therefore one would think
that American women are very hap
py. But in reality they are, 1t seems
to me, in q rather unhappy, discon-
tented condition. If one takes de-
licious food all the time one does
not appreciate it, and, In the same
way, when a woman is cared for
cannot appreciate it as she ought,
and feels constantly discontented
with her lot. When woman Is
very well taken care of in general
she feels keenly even a little neglect.
This comment seems justified by the
fact that in America, where women
receive first consideration, there are
more cases of divorce than anywhere
else in the world.
1t is easy to theorize about do
mestic life, but in reality domestic
life is a very complicated matter,
and one requiring great care and
Judgment. From nature, or habit,
man opposes the suggestion of wo-
man. Accordingly, in order to bring
a man to any desired point of view,
a woman must have the tact not to
express herself too openly. So, also,
it is not we'll to scold and criticise
too much, for this makes children
scorn and contradict their mothers.
A mother must acquaint herself
widely with the world and with the
dispositions and individualities OF
to their highest usefulness.
Domestic wellbeing is entirely in
the power of the wife. If one man
is strong enough to bend the will
of the ruler, the country is safe
so runs the old Chinese saying; IN
like manner in the home the wife
takes the place of that one man.
1t is different with those women
whose responsibility reaches beyond
the home, but with those who are
only wives and mothers the ideal Is
to shield themselves behind the hus-
bands name and not be known be-
fore the world. If girl marries
with this ideal her home will always
be in peace 1t is instructive for a
good wife and wise mother not to
wish to be known publicly.
Comenting upon the above the
editor of a paper of Toxic, says.
'ln proportion to the fame Of
Baron Goto the name of Baroness
Goto is not we'll known to the world.
Baroness Goto does not seek public
ity; on the contrary, she carefully
keeps her seclusion as housewife and
mother. That which Is especially
remarkable in her character is her
total lack of vanity and her para
mount ideal of duty as wife and
responsibility as mother.
Baron Shinpei Goto. who has af-
forded to his wife the widest oppor-
tunities of culture and travel is one
of the leading men in Japan's ma
tional life to-day. Since the Russo
| Japanese War he has held the i'm
portant position of president of the
Manchurian Railway system, and
has now been placed at the head of
the railway and postal systems of
Japan under the Few Katsura min
| istry."

small dificulty in her effort to serve
planked dishes after the fashion of

thing ready to use, and with q re-
liable recipe book she can prepare
dishes every bit as delicious as the
majority of hotel chefs. The plat

from an oval Just large enough for
two persons to the generous family
platter. Some OF the nickel holders
are quite plain, while others are en-
bellished with openwork and tracery.

WHITE MILLS.

APRIL 2lst.-On April 18th wrote
an article on how to raise lettuce. will
say that too much care cannot be taken
in the undertaking.
When the plants are well up cultivate
them often to keep the ground from be-
coming hard. 1t is not sufficient in the
culture of lettuce to use hoe, but you
must get down to business by using
your fingers to loosen the soil around
the stem of the plant and thus give it
plenty of room to expand and grow.
This should be done at least once a
week before the plants cover the ground.
Keep the soil up close to the under side
of the plant as this will keep it in an up
right position and help towards forming
a perfect head. When lettuce is fit to
cut for private use, it will be necessary
to keep close watch of the bed so that
it does not spoil and become unfit for
the table. If you observe any of the
seed stems raising in the centre of the
head cut it at once. The best time to
gather the heads is on a rainy day, but
sometimes we do not get much rain;
then cut it early in the morning before
the sun gets too hot. If you do not be-
lieve that the time OF cutting is impor-
tant try for yourself and be convinced.
Gathering vegetables is far more impor-
tant, than raising them and should be
given careful consideration. Many q
man has planted and raised a good
garden of vegetables and failed to gather
them at the right time to retain their
flavor. Peas, beans, radishes, cor n
and asparagus are easily affected by
twenty-four hours neglect.

pathetically and murmured?" "Is
she, indeed? Which one did she ac-
cept?" At the third place 1t was
the news of Bessie's engagement that
was broken to them. AS before, the
mans wife put the question: (which
one did she finally take?" On their
way home the man said: why did
you ask which one every time new
engagement was sprung on us? Are
those girls so attractive that men
were falling over each other in the
