The Preparation Of Girls
for College and for Life

A girl has on an average about IL
years to prepare for her life's work.
Some must make the period Of mental
culture shorter; few have the privi-
lege Of securing four years more of
study in college halls. After twenty
summers, girls in general do not take
up new studies nor very assiduously
pursue the old. Our educational sys-
tenn, as best 1t can, must equip the girl
for living-not to make living. The
professional course must be given aft
erward, according TO individual choice
from few months in business col
lege or dressmaking establishment to a
year or more in industrial schools, or
several years in college, law or medical,
or scientific schools, according to abil-
ity, time and money. Each year thct
girl gets in school after her eighth
grammar grades gives her stronger
grasp of problems and a broader ap-
probation of life. The four high school
grades might be considered essential
that a girl might know something of
the history and government of the
world she lives in the composition of
the earth she lives on and another
tongue OF the people she lives with,
besides gaining some use Of the mathe-
NAUTICAL intellectual tools for construct
ing her mental universe and under
standing that of others. This is the
duty of the college preparatory or sec

ondary schools, whether called col
leges," halls institutes" or schools. y
None of these institutions can restrict
curriculum to a course that ends only
in a university. Many girls can not
or will not go to college or university.
Such schools, therefore, who will in a.
very real sense graduate their stu
dents in four years after the grammar
grades must offer two courses-one
that will prepare for college and an
other that will give a girl such well
rounded education that she will be in
intimate and appreciate touch with the
best literature of the world and have
an intelligent grasp of the scientific
progress of the day, write and speak
elegant English, and be indeed wom-
an well poised, trained in exact and
systematic thought and expression,
with a sense of the unity and har-
mony Of all thought and effort, yet
having with this sense of the oneness
of mankind strong realization Of in
dividual Importance and responsibility.
Her independent thinking and activity
must be in relation to high ideal,
useful member of home and society,
reverent and helpful, with board sym
pathies and true womanly gentleness
and dignity Such refinement and
Christian growth of character must
come from an education true to the
broad demands of life in it's deepest,
most earnest sense,

who aver that this is true and If 1t Is

We have instituted classes for wives

the idea that mothers, like Topsy. Just

evils into preceptors and teachers fit
to take a human soul into their clum-

We have placed certain faults In the
category of masculine virtues, and hug
the delusion to our souls that to ha
manly a boy must be uncouth; to be
virile he must be ill-mannered; to live
UP to masculine ideals he must be
treated as a different order of being
from the girl.
When we teach our girls and boys
"a few certain fine sterling principles
and virtues, and let the rest work out
for itself, we will have bigger and
finer race of human beings than the
world has yet known.
Treat boys and girls as souls and
see what the result will be.
