Let me thank you for what you
said recently concerning the edu-
cation of our girls, and the su-
preme Importance of women's work
as mothers. | very much hope you
will have more TO say on the sub
ject, with your accustomed force
and clearness | am myself col
lege graduate of long ago tWel-
lesley $50 1t greatly distresses
me that college women are so
turned from marriage. and that the
birth rate is so alarmingly low in
this class. and so few College-bred
babies. Something is. radically
wrong with college education. l
believe this TO be partly the fem
mist influences which belittle
motherhood in clarifying every
thing else. partly TO the effort of
wOmen's colleges TO pattern exactly
after mems colleges. Perhaps you
can start the campaign for the ra-
tional education of our daughters.
Wherever two or three women are
gathered together you are very apt
to be quoted"
! do not agree with the CORES
pendent about the birth rate in col
lege bred circles. College
women are well represented among
the best mothers in the land. When

RTY-TWO FAIL ID FILE QUESTIONABLE
 WITH LOCAL BOARD

Forty-two men of the 40 who reg lstered for military service June , last failed to make out and turn in their questlonnalreS to the local board. The local board announced yesterday these questonnaires must be made out inn medlately and returned to the board, otherwise the laggard registrants will be declared delinquent, and subject to punishment.
 The board has taken no action to date because of the apparent inability of the postoffice department to deliver mall 10 some of the registrants. Some or the registrants, who read The Re- publican, reported to the local board that their missionaries had not come oy mall when The Republican report Ing the local board published the fact that they had been mailed. Secretary Martin T. Weyant of the local board said yesterday he was unable to ac- count for the failure of some of the boards mail to reach destination. But as explained the military does not excuse anything, even the failure or mail to reach destination. In conse- quence all registrants must keep in constant touch with the local board, regardless of the mails.
 Following are the men about to be- come delinquent and who, in order to save themselves from that disgrace, must report to the local board at once and fill out their questionnaires:
