New wernan,s College In Egypt.

The new woman soon may be an i'm
portant factor in old Egypt. A WON
ans college has been started In Cairo
along the same general lines as an
American or English college for girls.
The institution was started as a part
of a university founded two years ago
by Prince Ahmed Fuad Pasha. uncle
of the present khedive of Egypt. The
prince is enthusiastic about the new
project, and. speaking of the school for
Mussulman women, he said: ut was
an experiment which | resolved upon
after mature consideration, with, I con
fess, some little misgiving. For an
oriental country, where the women are
not em~ancipated and where, of course.
they still wear the1face covering eaiird
a yashnlak, this was rather venture
some, but | am thankful to say that
by the blessing of Providence people
were very little scandalized. and so
success was assured. The young ladies'
are ordinary members of the comrnuni-
ty who are not intended for any pro-
fession. In fact, we have not as yet
any degrees either IN law or In medi-
cine. although that will come before
long, I hope, with q suitable increase
of the means at our disposal. Lee
lures on the history of ~womankfnd, on
motherhood, on household life, on by
giene. and SO forth, are the staple
items In the teaching on the female
side, and those on motherhood l con-
slider of vital Importance, more parttc-r
ularly in q country like Egypt."
