portancc Of training girls as prospective
home makers. and on the other hand
meeting the growing demand hat they
should he allowed to become Independent
and self-supporting.
In the way VI progress. however. stand
many parents. particularly those who are
well TO do. who think either that girls
don't need much education" or that the
girls education should lie Of the ''nnish-
ing fancy variety. exceedingly super
fetal II not practical o disciplinary.
And there are hosts Of girls themselves
who do not take enthusiastically to n
type Of education which is designed to
qualify them fer PARTICIPATION in the
stcrn,r phases Of life. They don like
hard things they prefer the easiest way.
In attempting TO account for this atti-
tude OF some girls toward a genuine edu-
cation we shall not agree with Rev. X.
l.. Of Philadelphia. who Ia a sermon only
twenty-five years w attributed II to a
lack of natural ability. Men are lcGi-
cal.' he said. "but women lacking this
quality have an irtricacy OF thought. %
There are those who think women can
be taught logic this II y mistake. They
can never 10y any power OF education ar
rive at the same merta status ~ that
enjoyed by men. but they have . certain
quickness Of apprehension which is
called lcaping at conclusions that u
astonishing." lsec.) The life OF \ man
h publicly proclaimed such a view to-
day would hardly be safe! Rather than
accept the reverend gentieman's view. we
are inclined TO ray that u distsste for
study and hard mental work shown by
the fair sex In general may be attributed
In part. at least. to the fact that they
have not only been discouraged In the
past from seriously exerting their minds.
hut often have been actually prevented
from striving for mental Attachments BY
