And Now We Find Miss September
Morn" disappearing in Cap and Gown
By DOLBY DALRYMPLE.

q EPTEMBER! The month of start
ing all the boys and girls to school
~ once more!
Tomorrow ushers in the season when
wives draw husbands into the privacy of
the comfortable library and start an
honest "heart-to-heart" talk with this
ominous words:
! Dear, we must have little serious
conversation about Mary going to board
ing school and John going to college,"
| And Dear" sees his finish; like Shy
lock the Jew, it means that he is to be
robbed of his children and despoiled of
his gold at one and the same time.
I September is the month of heart aches
| for a lot of mothers. OF course, there
are many who years ago entered their
children's names on the books of fash
ionable schools where only a select few
are chosen as pupils, and this September
is the time when the daughter or son
must enter, and it is usually the mother
who does the planning and deciding on
the college.
A wealthy man was saying not long
ago in regard to his boy who had re-
Gently finished college:
TT was his mothers arrangement for
him, not mine, that got him to college;
didn't see why he needed greater educa-
tional advantages than l enjoyed, and we
argued about it for years, when suddenly
one morning 1 awakened to find my wife
and boy absent. She had left a note say
ing that she'd gone to Princeton to enter
our boy at old Nassau OF course, 1 was
furious, but by the time she returned
my wrath had somewhat cooled down.
and as it all turned out 1 am glad she
took the law into her own hands"
Yes, parents are usually glad they did
it-after the years roll by-and the chill
dren are glad all the rest of their nat
ural lives that such opportunity was af-
forded them.
The community life of college or board
ing school is an invaluable training to
youth.
Quite apart from educational stimulus
and instruction this companionship puts
the students in touch with the spirit of
the time in which his or her life is to
be lived.
Students coming together from all parts
of the country bring with them ma
ticnal sort of spirit that rises above more
LEGAL spirit; removed from home environ
ment, the scholar sinks or swims, sur
wives or perishes, according to individual
merit

against the world and reasonableness
enough to respect the rights of others.
The college body must have standards
also-high standards-and the student
learns not only to be a gentleman at
heart. but to behave like one; he I'M
consciously acquires polished manners.
where before he probably only boosted
good ones; and he acquires sharpened
wits as well as wisdom; he is neither
dead nor sleeping when he wins his de-
ee, but very acutely alive and ready
for the fray of life.
Modern college education for women
makes them very fearless and indepen-
dent, not bold; sensible and appreciative,
re- ther than sentimental; also it fits them
to earn a livelihood and as one E. S.
Martin, writer of some fame, has said:
ITO have trained capacity for self
support is like having a fortune"
To possess a collegiate degree indicates
measuring up to an educational test; to
have competed several years with ones
peers, and won out. is to face the world
urafraid.
A college woman is qualified to meet
any emergency with tact and apprecia-
ton, whether it leads to a home with
loving husband and children, or in the
business world where she finds joyous
possibilities, in the experiences she shares
with other pilgrims; she can take care
of herself and others too, if needs be-
and she possesses not only with women,
but with men, an exultant sense of lib
erty and usefulness in the world.
