their own dormitorv life properly
chaperoned and looked after by 4

interested women of the town, social
relations would be established which
would go far toward the education of
both men and women for the future.
Would not the presence of women
who are ambitious to acquire higher
intellectual attainments be d pleasant
addition to the social lie of the town?
For while many of the colleg. women
do not represent the wealth Of the
State, they do represent the homes
that stand for progress and culture.
Is it not after all, the women and
men of progressive ideas who control
the development of the country?

Gated man was the one best prepared

solving these problems frequently de-
pend upon the extent to which his
wife can become his co-worker? An
along the line history has shown that
the most successful men have been
aided and encouraged by women who
have enjoyed the highest social and
intellectual training OF their time A
prominent minister at Ocean Grove
this summer expressed the same
thought rather tersely. In speaking
of woman as factor in promoting
her husbands career he said, Friends,

themselves and with honor to them
selves and the Stare.
Up to this period OF its history Del
aware has done but little to place It's
women upon the same intellectual
footing as its men. The intellectual
residents of the State will agree that
it behooves the lawmakers and the
people at this, the psychological mo-
ment, in the history of Delaware Col
lege, to provide, in connection with
the college, for the higher education
OF women.

Is Delaware not equally prepared to
offer similar advantages to its wo-
men by establishing woman col
lege in connection with the Delaware
State College at Newark? Here is a
splendidly equipped college with am
pie campus space for the erection or
a recitation hall for women students,
its laboratories ready for use and suf-
ficient building space in the immediate
vicinity for the erection OF dormi-
tory.
Delaware, through the established
college at Newark seems to be in a
position to give economically and at
the same time distinctively individ-
ual and independent college life to is
women. The first is of minor import
ance as compared with the value OF
educating women. The latter, how
ever, represents no minor phase IN a
woman's life. With many, and | think
| may say with most girls, the going
away to college is second only in inn
portance to her wedding day. To her
an dher family it means planning and
arranging long time before she en-
ters upon the new life. To the girl
herself it becomes the REAL educa-
ton in comparison with which all pre-
vious education sinks into nsignifi-
canoe. 1t means no small thing, there
fore, to take young girl just budding
into wonanhood, from the protection
of home and home friends. Here all
her views OF the world and mankind
have been formed and here they still
are subject to the experience anG wis

she must rely entirely upon her own

Christmas Dance

On the evening OF December 2oth,
the Yuletide festivities centered around
the Opera House. The large hall was
bright with holiday trimmings, the
skilfuly arranged background OF fra

contrast to the red bells which seemed
about to tinkle with their abundance
OF good cheer.
The floor shone with a waxen
smoothness that told plainly the quail
itv thereof and enticed the feet OF all
lovers OF the dance to "step the tune.

AWilllSl lOl tliS ICol ~
The pride fthe men in the women
OF the race is characteristic OF civilized
nations--not the kind OF pride that
shuts them n the harem away from
the word, but pride in the fact that
woman is queen of the home, has her
distinctive place in the social world
and is now prominent factor in the
important movements of the day One
n the many ways in which this pride
has expressed itself is in the higher
education of woman. To this end
various colleges and institutions of
learning have been founded solely for
the education Oh women; others have
opened their doors to women and later
have seen the wisdom OF their deci-
sion. Can it be that the men of Della
ware are any less proud Of their wo
men relatives and friends or that they
are less considerate of. their welfare
than the men of other States; or, is it
that the lawmakers themselves are
less far-sighted, or do they think the
women of Delaware less capable than
those OF other States, that they have
to seek in other States what should
be home privileges?
Again, why does the State OF Della
ware take such pains to educate its
| sons, giving them the best the land
affords along intellectual lines, when
sooner or later the majority of these
same sons will select one OF these un-
trained women for his companion.
Can the standard OF the home which
is almost invariably set by the wife
| and mother be what it would have
been had that same mother had a pre-
| paration for her life work equal to
| that which was given her husband?
In this day when special training is
| demanded in every walk OF life, is not
| the most vitally important work, home
| building, left in unframed hands-and
unframed through no fault OF their
own? Is not the State, when it makes
no provision for the training OF its
| women defeating its own aims since
| it must either lower its standard OF
education or increase the time thus
increasing the cost? Other States have
recognized this and have either col
Ileges for women or have opened their
doors equally to men and women
] this latter is especially true OF the
~ est Iii tile East-rtiiss has not been
SO frequently done nor with us does it
seem SO desirable.
| II Delaware has thought OF compar-
ing its educational advantages for wo-
men with those of other States it will
find that its neighboring States have
simple facilities in its training and nor
NAL schools for preparing for the I'M
portant profession Of teaching, recog-
nizing the necessity for special prepar-
alton in this as for other professions.
Or, if compared from the point OF view
of colleges alone Maryland has its
