The Future of Daughters

fectionate yield to their fathers
and mothers silly opposition and
remain at home in perpetual bond
age and vassalage, children that
never grow up, but are kept in
mental pinafores even when their
hair is gray
The inevitable result Of keeping
any able bodied, grown-up woman
in tutelage and depriving her of a
legitimate vent for her activities is
bound to be disastrous. It is what
has made the appellation old
maid" a term of reproach. For the
woman who has had no business
of her own, has poked her nose
into everybody else's business and
thereby stirred up trouble. While
on the other hand there are no
women more broad minded, more
agreeable, or better liked, than
those unmarried women whose lives
are filled full of the absorbing In
terests of some occupation In which
they find a compensation for what
ever they have missed in matri-
mony.
Another phase Of the situation
that parents overlook is this, that
the income that suffices to keep
n family comfortable when they are
all together will not support the
individual members in comfort
when they go their separate ways,
and thus many spinster is thrown
out on the world with a mere pit
lance to live on when hep father
dies. She knows no way of max
ing a living. She is an amateur at
everything because she has only
helped her mother keep house, she
has only helped her sisters take
care of the children. she has only
worked in a ladylike way at every
thing. And the result Of this anna
teurishness is starvation wages.
Pale Gray Spinster No More.
The time has come when par
ents need to face the real situa-
ton of woman in the present day.
They must realize that there are
Just as emany chances that their
daughters will not marry as that
they win marry, and have their
girls taught some way of making a
living just as much al they do their
boys.
And they must realize, if their
daughters do not marry, that they
must help, not hinder. them in find
ing the kind Of work that they want
to do in the world. For no human
being, male or female, can be either
good or happy who has not some
absorbing interest in life, some
worthy object.
The day Of the pale gray anemic
spinster who was content with the
husks Of existence, is gone by.
The modern unmarried woman de-
clines to be the family martyr, and
ii is time that her parents cease
trying to thrust that role upon her.
The bachelor woman doesn't propose
to lag superiiuous upon the stage.
She wants to get busy and her ia
Their and mother should help her to
it.

Must Consider Her Future.

The plain truth is that in the
present financial conditions many
men 6nd il impossible TO marry,
ana under present social conditions
many women find il unattractive to
marry.
Therefore, the father of daugh-
ters can not console himself with
the reflection that it doesn't mat
ter about providing for his girls,
for they viii before long marry,
because some of them viii be sure
not to marry
The problem, then, Of the unmar-
ried Gaughter becomes a very Sc
rious one. What is this woman with
her life before her. with intelligence
and health and energy. going TO do
with herself?
OF course il the woman is the
daughter Of very rich man. or
very poor one, the question more or
less settles itself If she is "a mill
uonairess. she will FIND her inter
ests in society or philanthropy. If
she is poor, She viii go to work and
be happy and useful i'm whatever
occupation she elects to follow.
The unfortunate woman is the
girl who belongs to the wejl-to-do
class. whose father is able to pro-
vide her with food and clothes SO
that she does not actually have 20

What We Mustn Assume.

Then. from all over the ancient
world, and from the most distant
tracts of time, would flock the en-
gineers of the past, and one would
say: King Solomon built aQue-
ducts for Jerusalem;" and another:
"Semiramis made Babylon glorious
with sparkling waters" and anoth-
er, "Zenobia, the Palmyian queen,
turned Tadmor of the desert into
a garden of roses and from the
far-off land Of Confucius would
come one who would say: Thou
sands of years before Greece or
Egypt or Chaldea was heard Of,
we Chinese had seized the waters
of the great yellow rivers that flow
down from the roof of the world and
begun the vastest system of irriga-
ton that is known to man"
50, it will not do to assume, as
we are too prone TO do. that these
things are the inventions Of our
time. The most that We can claim
for ourselves is that we have made
good use of our opportunities. We
are still working along the Old lines,
and neither when we train rivers
into new courses, or bore holes
through mountains, or draw water
from the rocks beneath, or carry
streams over long arches of ma
sonFy, or construct artificial lakes.
or hOneycomb the soil beneath our
cities with conduits, are we doing
anything that would astonish our
predecessors of 20, or 40, or even
so, centuries ago. AS far as We can
see their brains were as good as
ours, but our hands have acquired
more cunning.

One Form of Bondage.

Yet. when they propose to so out
into the world and follow some
profession or business and make an
individual life for themselves, as
their brothers have done. they meet
with such opposition from their
parents that only the bo'dost have

II YER since the beginning OF
r, civilization men have taken
thought of their sons flu
lures. 1t has been a poor father
who has not tried to educate his
boys, and to have them taught
some trade or profession, or estab-
Hsh them in some business whereby
they could support themselves and
find some cOngenial interest In life.
Slngulerly enough, few parents
ever pursue this course with their
daughters. The girls future is left
unprovided for, on the cheerful the
DRY that she win marry, and in
matrimony find both a profession
and livelihood.
In the past this plan has worked
out fairly well, although it has
forced tens of thousands of women
into unwilling and unloving we'd
lock, to be the everlasting misery Of
the men they married, because no
other career was open to them than
matrimony Still most women did
marry, but the time OF the univer-
sal bridal veil and wedding bells
for the feminine sex is over. The
Increased cost Of living, the preva-
lence OF divorce, the multiplicity of
other interests, perhaps the gen
eral Discrimination Of both sexes to
relinquish their freedom and as
sumo new burdens. has caused an
enormous falling off in the number

Where We Are Great.

~
But while we indulge a justifable
pridesin admiring these things, we
are In danger of eXaggerating their
Importance. We are apt to think
that such achievements are pecu-
liar to our age and time. We be-
come unjust and contemptuous to-
ward antiquity, which is a foolish
state of mind. because it leads US
to the erroneous conclusion that we
are incomparably greater than were
the men who built empires and
cities thousands of years ago.
AS a matter of fact we are great
err only in the mastery which ad-
vancing science has given US over
certain details. We are greater in
some things and smaller in others.
Even in our own chosen field of
mechanical science we must not
boast too heedlessly. Suppose that
some proud old Roman-let US say
of the days of Diocletian-could
tread the soil of the New World and
examine our new aqueduct We
should look in vain for any sign of
amazement in his eyes when he
saw a vast city supplying itself
with water by bringing it from the
mountains many miles away The
carrying of the water beneath the
bed of broad river might interest
him, but he would not be surprised.
He would say:
This you have accomplished be-
cause you have better way of
making cement and better ma
chimes for penetrating the rocks
than we had. But did not the Ro-
mans, centuries before my time,
drive a tunnel 5000 feet through
the lava rock of Mount Albanus to
let the waters out of its great
crater? 1 see nothing essentially
astonishing in what you have done.
We could, and would, have done
similar things if we had had the
advantage of two thousand years
of progress. Upon the whole, I
think you have been rather slow.
Still Defy Imitation.
Consider what we had accom-
plished before the barbaIians de-
scended upon US. We carried wa
ter TO Rome from the mountains
forty miles away, and we built
nine great aqueducts, three Of which
are still bearing water to Rome,

The construction work will be

pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t will
be about sixty days before the first
lot of materials and men will arrive
here, and the erection work will take
at least eight months to complete. The
