Rays Co-Eduiation Robs Marriage of
Its Attractions.

In the first Of the series of lrtl-
cles on The American Girl" In the
May Woman's Home Companion, the
author. J Nilsen Iau yik. makes tho
following comments
'Cocducation has done more than
anything else 10 rob marriage OF it's
attractions. by divesting The man Of
most Of his uld-time glamour and ro-
nance. This early contact with the
other sex on footing Of equality.
which the majo ity OF girl students
more than maintain intellectually
has tended 10 produce that contempt
of the mIch-yaunted superiority OF
man that is as a rule reserved for
these postnuptial discovci.es Witch
make mar iage such an interesting
venture The American girl comes 10
, realize only too soon that infelleetu-
ally and cuturally the man Is often
her inferior. She pgrsues he inter
ests farther than does the man who
very generally srbordinates his inter
est in the fine q ts To- bis one desire
10 succeed u business % FOO some par
ticular profession
I'm this respect the influence OF
. the higher ,luGltion has exactly tho
opposite effect upon American girls
TO that OF the German or Scandinay'
an girls I'm these countries every
movement directed toward Giving wo-
man greater share I'm communal
life has SO Ear contributed toward cs
tablishing the idea OF the home and
the family more firmly than ever. In
fact II NAV be said without evac-
Eeration that all these efforts toward
enlarging womans life have sprung
from one basil idea. the right OF every
woman 10 a home and children.
And inasmuch as the general cdu-
cation of the young men az those
countries is on a relatively higher
plane than hero. the higher education
Of their women has only resulted in
bringing the two sexes nearer togeth-
er, contributing new charms and
possibilities OF comradeship TO the
family life II has made for mutual
respect and admiration founded on an
intellectual and spiritual equality in
which both find a fertile field Of
happy cooperation. The girls Of those
countries look forward with keen an
ticipation TO being mistress OF their
own households. and the character OF
the higher education on the whole Is
Of kind TO make the young women
better fitted for marriage. This is
probably due TO a mixture Of practic-
aiity with ideality. such as We are
only now beginning to feel need OF
