SUPERGlRLS.-The most curious
thing about women is their illusion
that they can read and understand
men as a book, while their sphinx
like parsonage cannot be solved by
the opposite sex.
do not intend to defend the young
mems ideas and manners, but simply
to say something which have OBJ
served about young ladies in general,
for l had some experiences, both in
school and in social contact, trying
to get girls interested in discussions
of science, religion and philosophy.
Science, to the majority of the
girls, is dry. In high schools girls
take science for the credits (compul-
sory). In the largest night high
school of Chicago, for three years l
saw only two girls who took up phys
les and three who took up Chemis-
try, which they later dropped. The
average attendance Of girls was
1000 to $500.
Once we had boys club for the
study of astronomy. The girls
laughed and found no time Tor us,
but when later it was learned that
we had permission to use an observa-
tory three girls insisted on going
with us. We looked at Saturn and
Jupiter. The girls told their friends
they had seen Mars with rings
around it.
Can you discuss religion or socioI- |
ogy with them? Not unless you
want some epithets like atheist"
crazy" nut" Socialist" "anar-
chist," etc. The name Of Socialist
was given to me in front of the prin-
cfpaI by girls who saw The Day Book !
in my pocket.
If had space I could give a hun
dred or more instances Of the lack of |
interest of girls in science and other |
serious topics.
The reason that all women care
about art is that art serves as a vail |

pessimism as to the prospect of the
human race.-N. c.
HYPOCRITES.-Isn't it queer that
most of the self-styled perpetual
smilers turn out to be the worst
cranks when things go wrong? We
have to be quite liberal with our
smiles all the while to keep them jO-
vial We have to agree with them on
all they do or say if we wish to
escape being called old fogies. We
have to be all they want us to be or
be considered nothing.
Let JUS take a look at the fellow
who was at one time ever ready to
kiss. the foot of another for the price
of a bum ham sandwich and notice
his smile and Overbearing actions in
the presence of the ones beneath
him.
The only time he smiles is when
all goes right, but never when the
least thing goes wrong.
He fOrgets the poor who at one
time helped him along, and claims his
rise is due to his own accomplish
ments and tOpnotch ambition
He believes that the poOr-whO
have great cause for complaint
have no right to complain, but should
everlastingly smile and be forever
cheerful.
He boasts of his philanthropy and
Justice when most of his actions
prove him unreasOnably unjust.
He generates most of the ills which
infest mankind. That means that he
drives men to steal and murder, and
women and little children to Unne=
