College Women Make Good Mothers

than among the rank and file This is not unnatural
The higher a woman's intelligence the greater one
would expect find her appreciation OF the meaning
of life and the keener her desire to live it fully.
One thing is certain-co-education does not
lessen a mans desire to marry college woman The
college women married, for the most part, college
men, Studying the husbands of these women, DR..
Smith found that threequarters of the graduated
from co-educational institutions had married women
also from such colleges, and nearly all of them 600
per cent? had married women who had studied at
the same college So, in spite of all hears TO the
contrary the classroom does seem TO be more less
a hunting ground for the little god.
One more fact is interesting showing that the
women the colleges send out make good wives. The
health Of the who had small incomes was
better distinctly than that of their noncoege sisters
who had similar difficulty in making ends meet
Either the general health of college women is
better or they are better managers. Which deals
another deadly blow the idea that because woman
can decline Greek she cannot make soup.
It would seem that from a worldly point Of view
the college "marries we'll" She does not make
brilliant marriages. financially, because she turns 20
professional men who not likely ever to become
miIonaires. but the wolf is not apt TO prowl very
close to her door. She has slightly better income
than her sisters who marry business men.

AS to the kind OF wife the college girl makes
there is some very interesting data DR. Mary Robert
Smith of California made such study for the AssOca-
ton of Collegiate Alumnae and her conclusions doubt
less hold good today.
DR.. Smith took about 500 college graduates who
had married and compared them with approximately
the same number Of non-cOIege relatives and friends
who had also married Thus she obtained very in
teresng important figures TO the health Of the
college women the number of their children and so
forth as compared with women OF similar class who
had not gone to college
College women may not marry as generally as
non-college women, but when they do they to
make more than ordinarily good wives and mothers
Owing TO the later marriage they do not have quite
as many children the Others but in proportion to
the number of years they have been married they
have more.
While It is true that the college woman does not
have many children this applies equally to the class
from which she springs. The very fact that her
parents her TO college shows that she comes OF
ambitious, far-sghted folk anxious to give their
children every opportunity class not likely under
present conditions to have many children.
The college who studied showed
1866 children apiece. The non-colege women had Is

The business is thoroughly classified. Each trade
has fits own section, and you walk blocks which

eleven and a half.
If the childless women in the two groups are
substracted the number OF children to each woman
comes to almost identcally the in the college
and non-college groups.
There two extremely interesting facts in con-
nection with the marriage of college women First,
their children TO be little healthier than the
children of other from the same families and
class. Secondly, for reason that cannot be ex-
planned they bear distinctly greater number Of male
children
1t is possible. of course that the figures which
make it appear that college women more apt to
than daughters accidental but they are
so distinct and decided that there may possibly be
some reason not understood yet for so peculiar a
circumstance
OF all children born ~ per cent are male. DR..
Smith found that among the relatives friends Of
the middle class the percentage Of male children was
less than AS. Among the college women over So per
cent Of the children boys Whether health or
age or some unknown factors contributed to this
result one, OF course, say. And it may be,
though It does not seem, accidental.
The college woman who marries, then, has about
as many children her less highly educated com
panions. Moreover. the higher the education the
greater the number Of children. Among the honor
