peated charge that too many of the
female students are injured by poor
food and excessive indoor confinement
in rooms badly ventilated and other
wise unsanitary. Making due allow
ance for ex~aggeraticns and ever base
less assertions, there must be some
truth in the charges or they would
have been refuted long ago. There
must be room for Improvement at
least. 1t really seems that the fe-

civilization, making a reduced birth
rate necessary. If the colleges turn out

to make them stronger. The point to
prove is whether they are not made

The character of female education
may seem foreign to our sphere OF
sanitation. vet 1T has a close relation to
the physique. COeducation now seems
doomed. from the overwhelming proofs
that the rates of mental development
of boys and girls are so different. and
the mental characters also, that the
wv sexes can not possibly keep pace

the other, or being uaduly strained to
keep up. Girls naturally surpass the
boys and yet are dreadfully strained in
some ways in the competition. The
curriculum in h female college should,
therefore, not be patterned after that
of male schools, and we notice as a
fact that the trend is now toward do

Nevertheless. the woman who is

be a big part of the aim of college life,

The most famous highway in the
central west was the Boon's Lick road.
Surveyed in 1915 from st. Charles, Is
miles west of st. Louis, to Old Frank
lin, Mo-. $50 miles farther west. 1t
turned immigration toward central
Missouri and six years later brought
Missouri into the union as a state. 1t
was the father Of the Santa Fee trail
which extending west from Old Frank
lin, brought m and immigra-
ton to Kansas. Colorado and New
Mexico. The making of roads means
the building of commonwealths. The
Boon's Lick road is a notable, though
almost forgotten example.
In 1904, two sons of Daniel Boone,
the great pioneer Of the west, Daniel
and Nathan Boone, made salt at salt
springs found in central Missouri. The
Boones and their companions were the
only white men in the territory west
of st. Charles. They boiled the spring
water in huge iron kettles and the
crude salt which formed the residue
they floated in hollow logs down the
Missouri river to be sold at the French
village of st. Louis. Deer had come to
the salt springs to lick the salt. The
place in western slang was a lick

College Women as Mothers

What is the effect of a college rain
ing on a woman considered as the flu
ture mother of a family? The charge
is frequently made that although it
may make her filter to cop with life
as an individual, it units her for ma
ternity. Critics point out that mans
education is largely designed to in
crease his efficiency as the head of a
family. Should not woman's training be
similarly shaped? And how may
we accomplish this? These mat
tiers, according to an editorial
writer in The Interstate Med

a more intellectual generation
than girls too stupid to accept educa-
ton. 1t is charged and denied that too
few alumnae marry. N too late at
that. and even these produce too few
offspring. We are soon to receive more
accurate information, but in it's inter
probation we must not forget that a
woman who raises two of her three in
fants is doing better social work than
she who raises only two of her eight

There are hosts of women. by the

all that God now demands. Those who
