South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-11-26

They are having a great discus
sion in San Francisco. and it's all
about woman who says such al
amazing thing
This is it:
college women should wait Is
years after graduating before they
marry. They should not sacrifice
their individuality and their careers
just because they want to be mar
ried"
Much more to this effect did Miss
Josephine Herbst say in her speech
to the University Of California CO
eds.
What's a coed? Why. a coed is
girl who goes TO college with the
boys, studies the same things in the
same classes. under the same pro-
fessors, and graduates so they say,
quite often a year or so ahead of
those same boys.
Goods had an awful time when
they first began to be.
The men students didn't want
them and they didn't like them. so
they did everything they could TO
drive them away from college.
They made fun of them, they
wrote verses about them and print
ed them in the college paper; they
made cartoons representing the CO.
eds as strange masculine creatures
in short hair and goggles; but the
goods kept right on studying and
graduating, and-be il remarked
getting engaged while they we're at
college and marrying just as quick
" as they conveniently could after
they graduated.
And everybody has forgotten that
anybody ever wondered that a girl
should want 10 cultivate her mind
And now arises the aforesaid Miss
Herbst and lays down the law about
the college girl and marriage.
And the university girls-are they
in fiutter over 1t?
Not they, The pretty girls and
the attractive ones are going right
on taking walks in the moonlight
and wearing roses that somebody
sent them. and reading poetry and
all the rest Of it.
And the plain girls, or those who
dc not care for the attentions Of
men, are grinding away just as
usual; but the people outside are
having the time of ter lives call
ing Miss Herbst and her theories
names.
Some are quite indignant over it.
I wonder why
Do We Really Decide?
Poor womanl Why shouldn't she
theorize about love and marriage if
she wants to? It won't hurt a soul,
and as for love and marriage. they'll
J just step right along up TO the altar
as If nobody had ever heard Of a
career.
Should college women marry {?
Some one is always rising to ask
| that somewhat astonishing question.
should they" not will they?"
As if there was anything about
| college TO kill the nature in a wom-
ans heart-brains and heart very
often go together.
Brainless women are much more
apt 10 be heartless than clever
women-haven't you noticed that?
The most heartless creature 1 ever
knew was a little goose who could
\ hardly spell her own name. She
married three husbands in success
sion. One OF them killed himself.
the other killed his own brother on
his wife's account. ana the last one
die5 OF a broken heart. a college
education or even a common school
education might possibly have taught
that selfish flirting little fool that
there was something in life besides
! tie satisfaction OF her own petty
! desires.
Marriage Of a career? Fudge and
/ dddlesticks,
When a woman gets 20 the mar
J rying age and wants 20 marry. she'll
marry. II she has 10 lay siege TO the
