Education for Women.

The awakening of India, now going on,
cannot but better these conditions. The
women could not possibly be worse offi
than they are, and any change must bol
an improvement. / am told that the ma
tive leaders realize this, and that eveu
the Mohammedans are holding convens
tions in the interest Of female education.
India has about sixty million Moham-
medans. ana this means that there are half
that number of women and girls. AS 10
is now only four thousand such girls arc
in school The Mohammedans feel that
the educational standard of the followers
of the prophet must be raised and that
this can be best done by educating the
girls. 1t Is much the same with the Him
docs, some OF whose leaders have estab-
nshed girls schools. There Is a man
named Roychand, Jain, who has founded
a school for women at Bombay. and that
city has other seminaries of similar
kind.
You have all heard of Pundita Ramabi,
who lectured in the United States not
long ago and collected some money there
for her girls school at Poona- She is
Brahmin, and belongs to one of the highest
casts of the Hindoo. She was educated
in England and for a time she was prq,b
fessor Of Sanscrit 1t one of the colleges
there. Her school at Poona has been
running for years and it is doing great
good. All of the pupils are child widows,
and some OF the little ones are only five
or six years of age Many are young
girls and others are full grown women.
In that school they are taught reading,
writing and arithmetic, and also such arts
as will fit the pupils to make their own
living outside. They learn to sew and
embroider. and also kindergartening and
trained nursing as well. A farm is con
nected with the school. and some of the
women learn dairylng and sheep raising.
Many of the graduates are already earn
ing good salaries some are teachers. others
matrons OF institutions, and not a few have
married again. Some have become mis-
sionaries

small denominations to encourage the
people generally to buy government bonds
The result will be that the government
