menus and eradicating wrinkles shall
no longer be the standard in this age

CHRISTIAN WORK AMONG THE
WOMEN.
Our missionaries are accomplishing
much FOR the women of India as are
also those of Great Britain. The work
can be only done by the women, as
men are not allowed to go into the
women's quarters or to speak TO them.
There are about 1900 females among
the missionary population, and the most
OF these do more or less work. There
are i3S foreign women physicians and
numerous hospitals and schools. There
are two Christian colleges. and in Mad.
ras alone more than 100000 girls are
going To school The girls are bright
and they seem TO learn quite as well
as our girls at home. a number OF
them entered the university, and some
OF the daughters OF the higher classes
nave graduated not only at the coll
leges OF India, but at those Of England,
and are now acting as lawyers and
doctors
As to the government schools. those
FOR girls are increasing. although they
are stu far outnumhered by those for
the men. For instance. India now has
100000 boys schools, with about 5OOO,-
600 pupils, and only 1900 girls schools,
with 100000 in attendance. The per-
centage OF illiteracy among the women
is far greater than among the men In
all India there are less than 1000, 900
women who can read. and this means
about one I'm every 100. on the other
hand. about one man in every 10 can

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
The awakening OF India, now going
on, cannot but better these conditions.
The women could not possibly be worse
off than they are. and any change must
be an Improvement. ! am told that
the native leaders realize this. and that
even the MOhammedans are holding
conventions in the interest OF female
education. India has about 10000, 600
Mohammedans. and this means that
there arc half that number of women
and girls As it is now only 1000 such
girls are in school The Mchammedans
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. II Is much the
same with the Hindoos, some Of whose
leaders have established 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 Rama
bi. who lectured In the United States
not long ago and collected some money
there for the girls school at Poona.
She is n Brahmin. and belongs TO one
OF the highest castles OF the Hindoos.
She was educated in England and for
time she was professor Of Sanscrit
in 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 read
ing. writing and arithmetic, and also
such arts as will NJ the pupils TO make

to sew and embrolder, and also kinder
