the same social scale as the college girl
the college girl Is away from home.
The poet may sing as he pleases about
absence making the heart grow fonder;
the truth Is that the thing which makes
hearts go pit-a-pat Is propinquity.
While the college girl is getting her
education the girl who stops with high
school Is going to the dance with
James. and James is looking for "a
steady job that will support two.
Last of all, the standard OF living in
this country has Increased greatly i'm
the last decade or two. We are all ac-
customed to living in "a better way than
our forefathers. There is nothing truer
than the homely old saying that the
boy and girl wish 10 start where their
parents left off. They have not got the
courage and the nerve to undergo the
trials that marriage imposes upon
those who have really to strive for a
living. As we get better educated we
become more "mollycoddlish, and that
Is not conducive to matrimony.

THE INSURGENTS AND THE
HOUSE RULES.

The Republican insurgents IN the
House have decided what they will fight
for when the Sixty-tirst Congress IS
organized. They want;
To take from the Speaker the power
OF naming committees.
To vest that power in a Committee
on Rules and Committees.
To abolish the present Committee on
Rules, and substitute for it one OF INF
teen members; ON rules, committees,
and order of business.
To require that this committee shall
be composed of nine members from the
majority and six from the minority
party. and that they shall be selected
by geographical sections.
To this will probably be added n de-
mand for a weekly call on the House
calendar.
These proposals are certainly IN the
direction Of lettering conditions IN the
House. It IS objected that a committee
OF fifteen is too large. So is the House,
with almost 400 members, a House of
100 would be vastly better and more
truly representative. But until gentle
men show a willingness to vote, after
the 1910 census, for such an apportion-
ment as viii cut the membership of the
House, say, IN half. it hardly lies IN
their mouth to object TO really rep
resentative Committee on Order OF Bust
ness. merely on the ground that fifteen
is too large number.
The fact is that fifteen Is none too
large if the committee is to be distrib-
uted geographically and to be at all rep
resentativc. Tt would provide for only
six men from the minority party, which
is few enough if any effort at repre-
sentation of sectional interests is to be
undertaken.
And certainly the committee ought to
be so distributed. Such a measure as
the tariff bill Is certain to develop sharp
conflicts between sectional interests.
There should be some authority IN the
House management to consider and
correlate and reconcile these.
That thS naming OF committees
should be taken away from the Speaker
is assumed from the beginning. Nobody
seriously questions that nowadays eX-
cept the people interested in maintain
ing the present organization; and their
iy,terazts are almost. exclusively personal
and selfish. It is not fight on the
Speaker personally, but on a system
which concentrates too much power in
one mans hands.

THE COLLEGE GIRL AND THE
MARRIAGE QUESTION.

The old question Of the college grl
and marriage was discussed by former
President Eliot. OF Harvard, in an ad-
dress to tie Alumnae Association Of
Brearley School In New York a few
evenings ago. DR.. Eliot refutes-we
think successfullv-the idea that the
young man Of today fights shy of the
college woman because she is not at
trsctiYe looking.
There was a time, DIR. Eliot con-
eedes, when the woman who went in
for higher education was more or less
an 0biect OF derision She was looked
upon as a pedaut and. ii truth be CON
fessed, she did not possess the attrac-
ti0us which in her less talented sister
created havoc with the hearts oi sus-
ceptible youths She looked forward TO
. career, and IL there was a thing In
the world that the man OF THAT day did
not care about it was woman vino
had in mind q career"
But other times, other manners. Col
leges for women have sprung up all
over the land; women are admitted TO
many institutions that formerly were
for men only. The average womau's
college has in its list OF students girls
who are the peers OF any in the softer
graces. and II she does not win a nus
band it is certainly not due TO a lack
OF physical charms. She is athletic
wei set up, well groomed. It was not
until the college girl came along that
VIC bad the Gibson girl that model
OF feminine beauty, a veritable goddess
in witchery. But the sad truth is that
marriage among college women is not
as frequent - ought to be.
Is education 90 blame? Harold f.
Gorst. son OF Sir John Gorst. minister
OF education In England, is of the opiu-
ION that the sort of education our
women arc getting has considerable to
do with ccIibacy He says that the
special weakness OF educ8 ton is in the
training OF girls, In that it educates
them away from their future destiny
that OF being mothers. The great ma
jority of girls he said, are TO DE
wives and mothers, and. barring q few
cooking classes, absolutely nothing is
done 10 tit them Tor that career. In
TACT, they are on principle. carefully
educated away from it"
We shall let the learned educators
struggle with learned explanations. But
therc Is one obvious reason for the
limited number OF marriages among
college 2irls-if the number is limited
compared with marriages OF women in
