Girls Service Clubs Busy Coneracn Tendencies of the Day

When she had paid out the last of 1t for lodging and food she tried to find an Ital- ian aunt whose address she had. It was Harlem" To her distress the child found that was big place and after seeking yainIy among the Italians who lived up there for news of her relative, exhausted and frightened she sat down on the steps of a tenement and wept. Then appeared help in the person of a young woman of her class who is member of the service club at 13S East Nineteenth street. She took the stranger there she had been taught to do and the troubles that had seemed so impossible to overcome disap- peared in that kindly. helpful atmosphere. Perhaps it isn't too much to say that here child saved.
 We are here to help said Miss Miner, as she finished the anecdote. and every one of our members gets the idea of service. The other recent incident was brought to the attention of the association by young Spanish girl Camilla. She had noticed in poor Spanish boarding house a young girl to whom a man of their own nationality was ma king up.' This man found that she didn't come to the table go out to her meals and he befriended her. Camilla sought out one of our workers and told the story with the result that the child brought to us and We were able to help her to work and independence. No indeed, our work Goes not evaporate in talk and you cannot oVeremphasize how real it is.
 This is where We come in to help in the crusade which has been carrying on so consistently and valiantly against a degen- e~acy of moral standards among girls and young men, a tegereracy displayed in man. ncrs. in dress and undue freedom between tl,o sexes. What appears in the world of girls generally is reflected in girls to degree. They wouldn't be human if they didn't copy what they see. But it is surpris- ing how critical they are of current fash ions and habits and how they cut at the roots of these evil things almost without advice from anybody.
 The reason for this is found in the fact that our clubs do not belong to the don't variety. In other words don't make hard and fast rules. but ask the girls to rule themselves. They do it. too If a girl tries to join who ia an advanced dresser the other girls take her application under consideration and de- eide whether she shall be of them or not. They have meetings for discussion of all sorts of things, and one of these subjects

Men at Illinois Fall Below
 Women Except in Some Studies

The University Of Illinois, situated ai Urbana, attracts every year nearly 10,0ot students. The dean of that institution hAG this to say:
 "In most of the subjects in our uni- versity elected by both women and men, the women secure the whole higher average grades. This is not true to the physical and chemical sciences and n1athe- matics. In the agricultural and engineer , ing groups there are practically women students.
 Without question women better average stud ents than men, and they give daily more time to their school work.
 ''In my judgment there is not biologi- cal reason for women to excel men at study.
 "In the large universities there is sufficient amount of election to make it possible for any individual. woman or man, to select a. course of study espe- cially pted to the individual.
 The records show. if I remember cor rectly, that without exception the average grades of women in the University of Illinois during the past five years have been higher than men. I do not think that this carries with 1t any real evtd encs as to the intellectual superiority of women believe that the better daily marks and the better grades received in examina- tons largely result from more conscien- tous study and the whole less at- tention to outside activities"
 Here the question may be allowed to rest If anything absolute has been eluctdated it Is that women are better students than mon and that they succeed best in studies that lean rather more to the ornamental than the useful-in other words that women arc women still, no matter what the colleges say. And. in fact, they gay just that

 What they like best of all in the line of service is their chance to befriend lonely girls and girls who living away from home. Our members are happy when they reach girls living in furnished rooms and bring them to the Service Club, where they meet other girls"
 The girls are human, and naturally initiate things and people almost uncon- sciously. But the mass of the girls are thoughtful and discriminating; they are

 But there is still held in some quarters the doubt that woman, even with the vote, is just good man. It is easy for a polite man, and who isn't seeking for trouble, to beg the question by saying that a woman-the average woman-is better than the average man. But is she? She will never be broken down, and in certain. intellectual pursuits experience seems to show that woman is not mans equal.

 Illuminating Comparisons
 From CoeducationaI Institutions However, that need not stop investigation of this exciting subject, and a good time to begin is when young men and women triculate at the various colleges and uni versailles of the country that are coeduca- tional in scope. Then neither sex has hard ened to the procrustean bed of circumstance. while the neuter period has been passed The college girls have stepped across the line of womanhood, and their brothers and cousins have only to glance at their upper lips to be assured that they are men.
 This newspaper started this inquiry at this interesting point in the lives of young people. It has asked the various seats of learning scattered over the country for light on the subject. The results of this inquiry shown in the answers received will undoubtedly surprise a good many per sons who have not thought the subject. One answer. which is general among the replies, should occasion surprise; it is to the effect that the average girl is better student than the average boy.
 Prof. Rudolph M. Binder of the Wash irgton Square College of New York Uni- versity offers as his belief that women students exhibit mental superiority over men students.
 Took education is a static affair."" says the professor. And for women to apply themselves to books more seriously than men is natural. There is biological reason for this.
 Moreover. women are more conscientious than men in keeping fixed hours of study. The latter have more distractions, or at least they yield to these more readily. Men go out evenings as a rule while women re- main in their rooms and engage in study" Professor of Psychology J. E.

Women Rank Higher Than Men
 As Students at Oberlin College

 From oberlin College, oberIin. Ohio, come this letter:
 'So far as I have observed. differences in the scholarship of men and of women do not go by fields of study The trend seems to me to be the same in all de- partments.
 "Women are distinctly better average students than men.
 ''Women give larger proportion of their time to the studies than men do. This is. in my Judgment, the principal reason for their superiority in scholar ship. T doubt whether there is anything in the biological theory to account for the greater excellence of women in study. Their superiority is due. in my judgment. principally to their greater conscientious ness i'll meeting the demands of their studies.
 Tt does not seem to me that the col 1ege course Is better adapted to the edu- cationa1 needs of men than of women. If 1t has been so to a certain extent in the past, it is certainly becoming less all the time as the field of womens ao- tivity Is enlarging.
 ''The records of this institution cer- tainly show that the women have, the whole, earned better daily marks and passed better examinations than the men. That does not mean to that they arc more gifted intellectually, but rather that they their ability more steadily and wisely than the men do. I do not believe that men can be brought to devote them selves to their work in the way tho women do until public appreciation of high scholarship In the college course increases to something like equality with that of European countries.

a very few, and those the best are ad init ed:
 Women students excel men students particularly in those subjects which re- quire the of the memory more than the reasoning faculties.
 Women are better average students than men.
 Women give daily more time to school work than men do.
 There is no biological reason for women to excel men in study.
 The usual college course Is not better adapted to the education of men than of women.
 Our records do not show that women are superior Intellectually to men, but they do show that the women receive better daily marks and better examination marks the average than the men.

HERE Is always a bed in
 vice club for the girl stranger in
 New York who needs immediate help"
 Miss Maude E. Miner, secretary of the New York Probation and Protective Associ- alton, which includes the work of the Girls Protective Leagle, said this earnestly, and she repeated 1t emphatically when doubt was expressed because of known instances where "refuges," doors of hope and kin dren institutions had proved inadequate in emergency for lack of room or another equally good reason.
 We make room," asserted the secretary. we exist to help girls develop and broaden their lives If we failed at the very outset when one such immediate need is brought to us then we should fail all along the line. But don't fail.''
 Then Miss Miner told of two recent in- stances where it was possible for the associ- ation to prove itsslf. Although there is novelty in the circumstances of either they are worth repeating for the sake of illustra- ton.
 Comes 10 New York With S57
 And Dream of III ovie Fame
 One concerns a girl only 15 years old who came to New York from Pennsylvania mining town with S37 that her mother had gwen her. This sum seemed more than enough to support her in comfort until the movie managers rushed her onto the screen and paid her q good salary for the work she should do there The chance remark of q New Yorker had brought this ambition into life. and he may have meant it kindly. Seeing the child employed at a small wage near the mines he said:
 Why. all pretty girl like you has to do to earn at least $50 a week is to go to New York and show herself
 Of course the 15-year-oId girl believed this end did her mother, who ought to know better Between them they saved up S37 and along came the child to the city. Per haps one may imagine her walking about looking for work. at first in the movie offices where nobody noticed her. and then any where Nobody needed her services it ap- peared and the money that had seemed in exhaustible in Pennsylvania didn't last a week in New York.

COLLEGE GIRLS GAIN HIGHER MARKS THAN BOYS

many cases the boy of 18 Is not nearly fully developed the girl of IS; at that stage Of life he is often two or three years behind. That, however, is not responsible for much of the difference in scholarship of men and women. The primary difference is due to the fact that the boys are from childhood taught to get out on the street and to develop physf- cally, while the girls kept in the house with indoor occupations. The result Is that the girls whole take more kindly to their books than the boys do.
 Ut is also fact well known, in business circles. and possibly due to many centuries Of subtection and training. that the women are more conscientious about attending to details ~One day. being somewhat curious this subject, I asked one of our teachers of mathe- n1atics, herself woman. which of her stu dents the women, she considered the abler in mathematics She said If I wish good recitation generally look to the girls for 1t: if I expect hard problems worked. showing originality and thought.
