COLLEGE WOMEN.
What Can the Girl Graduate Do II
She Is Not Q Teacher?

To THE EDITOR or THE sUN-Str. What
can n woman college graduate do after
her four years Of study? She a teach
yes. she can teach. II seems that the
college Of to-day amounts to nothing
more than n vocational school for teach
ers TO become any other kin Of
worker a woman must have still further
education. To become n librarian q
course in library work Is required. FOL
kindergartening she must study Tor az

ing requires special training not pro-
vided In our universities. There is some
thing wrong with our so-called liberal
colleges, and what 10 Il? They are NOT
as liberal as they should be.
We study philosophy. logic. ethics and
child psychology. and We are filled with
an eager desire TO 20 out and do some
thing. TO apply our ethics to problems
Of the day and 20 have tho opportunity
to meet Just such problems. We realise
the great value Of teaching. but va also
realize the great wrong OF trying to
teach when we feel no particular inter-
est in that work.
Again, the colleges M graduates I be.

same time they point out the great TIM
p%ortance Of right instruction for the

twelve, which is at present left TO high

The average college woman graduate
is. | think. broad minded. She Is a
m Of some ability and - unselhshly
anxious to make the best OF herself.
She does not demand a high eaiaried
position she expects to earn one. She
IL ambitious and alive. College educa-
ton Is becoming more common and the
women who AFFORD II nowadays do not
do so TO obtain social standing and
prestige, but to NJ themselves for q
broader life work.
II is not fair to such women that
even after college further education
should be demanded. SPECIALIZATION" IL
the cry. and specialization requires mort
time and more money.
Every college woman graduate has.

practical ability. she thinks for herself
and Is usually the possessor Of "a good
level read together with her dreams and
deals. Yet the college woman finds
nc place open TO her upon graduation
unless she has had experience" 70
eight out of ten OF our graduates turn
to teaching Just for this. as a stepping
stone TO something higher.

Duty Partly Done.

The Significance Of the action taken

extracted from the wording Of that
document. Its author was able to
amend II to n sense squarely. opposed
to that Of his original proposal, and
then to vote against 1t. But this Is
a detail Of negligible consequence.
The message sent to the country
from the Capitol by the Senate Is that
It will not cripple the Executive In

who fomented this trouble was to in.
troduce a new element into a pend.

Of q coordinate department of gov

defeated. The defeat IS not us over

been, but II Is effective for the

II now remains FOR the House To
complete the reputation the Senate
has begun. Its first duty is plain.
II must make clear that the nc
credited agents Of the republic may
undertake transactions with other
Powers In confidence that they will
not be undone at home while they
labor abroad.
Thus the injury that recklessness,
ignorance and malice have done may
he In a measure repaired. The harm
cannot be wholly rectifcd. but the
danger 1t gave rise to a be mini.

TorHE EDITOR or THE suN-Sy: Con.
sentative public opinion has gradually
reached the conclusion that the most
difficult and dangerous feature OF our
railroad problem Ia the irresponsible
intermeddling by State commissions
now over forty in number. The Su.
preme Court Of the United States In

Judge Hough Of the United States

parties interested In railroads:
They have had the experience o. ths

seen how they have butchersd the rail.

said that a State commission In "prac-

sion looks out for It's own interests. at
the expense OF other States and Of the
nation at large and Of the railroads
themselves. running into other States.
Politics also affects the motives OF
state commissions in dealing with the
railroads.
What remedy Is there? Congress
has jurisdiction over interstate COM
merce, but not directly over intra-
state commerce. and this gives the
State commissions their opportunity.
There is another principle Of law.
however. which is available. Congress
has power to incorporate Federal rail-
road corporations. That II what Con-
gress did In the COS for the railroads
running To the rncifc coast. Congress
also has power 10 insert In such char
tiers an express provision that no State
Legislature or State commission shall
regulate the rates Of such railroads.
Tie Supreme Court has held that the
omission OF such an express provision
In the Federal charters to the Pacific
railroads indicated an intent ~ Con-
Tress to allow State Legislatures and
state commissions To regulate .ntra-
state rates. but the court conceded that
an express provision In the charter to
the contrary would be entirely legal
and effective.
No stronger argument in favor 81
Federal railroad charters could he
found. Incidentally this would also
give the national Government complete
control over the stock. bond ard note
issues. CIvrrAs
