COLLEGE AIDS
JERSEY WOMEN
Newark Institute to Have
New York University
Courses.

Women will be able to begin col
lege course in New Jersey this fall.
New York University in cooperation
with the Newark Institute of Arts and
Sciences, will offer at the institute the
first year of its course in arts and
sciences leading TO the A. b. and B. S
degrees.
The instructors will be regular mem
bers of the university staff, and will
divide their time between the students
at Newark and New York. The re
quirements for admission and the cur
riculum will be the same as at the New
York institution.
Difficulties experienced by New Jer-
sey girls in obtaining higher educa-
tional training is pointed out in a
statement issued by New York Uni
verslty.
80 far as the higher education of
women is concerned, New Jersey illus
trates very well case OF arrested
Development the statement says.
when women first began to demand
a higher education. 1T was insisted
that the proper place for the woman
was the home, and that higher edu-
cation would tend TO discourage
women from assuming their natural
duties. When mems colleges were
opened to women and independent
womens colleges were established
everywhere. it became apparent that
woman could survive a college educa-
tion and she could enter other useful
fields of activity besides the home.
Those who looked with concern upon
womans charging activities, urged
that there were certain fields of en-
deavor for which women are espe-
cIally fitted. and that they should con-
fine themselves to them. One OF these
special spheres Of influence was teach
ing, and there arose m many quarters
the belief that the only thing and the
hest thing for A girl to do was to
teach.
"ln New Jersev women have been
stopped at the teaching stage The
only institutions which girls graduating
from high schools could enter were
the normal schools and training
schools; and having entered these, the
almost invarlable rule has been for
the girl to plan to teach, for by so do
ing the tuition fee was saved. II *.
therefore, no eXaggeration to say that
hundreds Of ambitious. energetic young
girls IN New jersey have been driver
into teaching as the only fulflmeut o.
