ETHICAL SIGNIFICANCE
OF COLLEGE WOMAN.
TBy Associated Press. !


Houston, Texas, Dec. 1.-Saying that
each school of higher learning has its
distinctive type of excellence, which
to an extent is embodied in each of
its graduates, yet that these graduates
also have noticeable resemblance in
their common ideals, DR.. L. F. Snow
Of Aurora, n. Y, delivered an address
before the Southern Educational AS
sociation here on the subject, "The
Ethical Significance of the College
Woman"
The speaker declared that in Amer
lea college education for women was
not an accident but a result; that the
peculiar type of education called col
legiate was for women merely the.
elimination of a process in the de-
velopment and organization of her
powers in her cropping, blind effort to
adapt herself to the changing condi-
tions of our ever increasing compli-
Gated civilization.
Dwelling upon the expansion of the
intellectual horizon for women, DR..
Snow said:
However confusing the debates
concerning the higher education OF
women, the tendency to accord them
the opportunity for development has
been both natural and gradual. There
was nothing revolutionary in the idea
of a college course for them, nor did
il actually enter into our social ex-
istence as a strange or absudr phe-
nomenon. The pioneers were possibly
looked at a little askance, but not be-
cause they were taken from a group
of people. | have known some of them
Intimately the greater part of my life
and there has never been anything
abnormal in their careers. They, each
and all, are merely the result of ten
denotes which had been shaping their
wholesome lives here in America for
generations, tendencies which have
continually Influenced our civilization
for good, tendencies which made these
young women significant exponents
and exemplars of the true meaning OF
the college course for women and its
appropriate ethical interpreters"
The speaker closed with words Of
appreciation for the college women,
expressing himself as follows:
'It seems as if the intelligent and
orderly progress Of the race upward
and onward here in America, during
the latter half Of the nineteenth Gen.
tury, might, without too much stretch
Of the truth. be directly traced to the
influence of the college woman, and as
the household was kept in order by
the colonial dame, as the faith was
preserved by the revolutionary grand
mother, so the ideals of right living,
clear thinking, noble doing, for us as
people have been cherished, pre-
served and rendered practical and
vital by the dreams, the hopes, the
illusions of the college woman"

New York, Dec. illegally dead"

monopoly is no more, and competition

were offering the same price for
Standard Oil stock that was quo. ed
back in 1906, before the government
had commenced its suit for the dissolu.
ton of the trust.
Indeed, although the parent Stand
ard Oil Company has supposedly died
and. been buried, with the final obse-
quies today, there are those who al
lege that the corpse has escaped and
that the coffin which ostensibly con-
tains the remains is empty! These
carping critics urge that the courts
order the coffin exhumed for purposes
of performing an autopsy on the re
mains, if there are any remains.
The dissolution of the trust was ac
complished today by the distribution
of shares in the thirty-four subsidiary
companies among the holders of trust
stock. By this exchange the mammoth
combine is split into thirty-four sepa-
rate and distinct corporations, which
may be expected to Immediately begin
murderous competition with each
other for the control of the trade,
thereby reducing the price of oil to
the consumer to mere fraction of the
present quotations. May be expect
