Dorothy Dix Taks-Sending Maud Geraldine to College

BY DOROTHY DIX

If, however, daughter is one of those
who wasn't around when nature handed out
to the girl babies born her day the prize
packages of pulchritude; if daughter has
complexion like a salateratus biscuit, and
a pug nose, and stringy hair, and is flat
footed, and slab-side, send her to college II
you have to mortgage the house to do It,
She will always have to be her own
meal ticket and you owe it to her to fit
her to earn not only bread and butter, but
jam and pie In all human probability she
will never have the happiness of having
husband and children, and you must give
her the best substitute for them you can
by filling her life with the absorbing in
terest of some profession or trade by which
she can find a never-ending source Of pleas
ure.
The miserable, sour, disgruntled old
maids are those with nothing to do, moth
ing to think about, but what they have
missed, no homes of their own, no money
except the grudging dole of those on whom
they are depending. On the contrary, there
are no more contented happier or chipier
women than the successful bachelor girls
with their good jobs and their pretty little
bachelor establishments.
So in trying to decide whether to send
Maud Geraldine off to college or not, take
natures tip. Give her the once over with
an appraising eye, not mother eye, and
see whether she is likely to have to make
for her. Also observe the degree to which
she is a riot not among the boys. II,
by the time she is eighteen, the place is
not Uttered up with youngsters, you had
better get her ready for one of our famous
institutions of learning.
So much for Maud! Now for the pocket
book! Don't send her to college unless
you can afford it. The state gives. every
girl a chance at a good education in the
public schools. If she wants to add to tina,
the whole realm of knowledge is opened
UP before her in the same books she would
read and study at college. School teachers
have no magic that imparts secret culture
not to be had outside of their sacred walls.
Some of the best educated women
have ever known have been self-educated
You can not more keep an individual who
thirsts and hungers for knowledge away
from it than you can keep starving per-
son from grabbing at the food within reach

Times Are Better

A OMIT tina: times are far from good;
- still, are they half so bad as many
feared they would be, when the bust
ness horizon began to darken and the thun-
ders to rumble last autumn? Have we not
borne the brur+ of the trouble better than
was reasonably hoped, and are we not emery
ing sooner and sounder than was generally
expected? A keen student of the economic
trend reminds US i Current History for July
that have had no financial panic such as
would have befallen had not the Federal Re-
serve system been functioning; that we have
not had the widespread sweep of bankrupt
cies once feared; and that inasmuch as we
have had far less Of disaster than we appre-
hended, "our success in avoiding evils re-
garded as unavoidable should lend courage
to the thought t. It we may be now mag
ming for ourselves troubles much more in
tense than we may be asked to confront
The conclusion of the matter, as this OBJ
server sees it from national point of view,
is that the movement toward normal bust
ness conditions is slow perhaps but steady,
and today we are nearer the desired stage
than we were a month ago." Thus judged
conditions are good and they are becom-
ing better"
Certainly, this holds true for Georgia and
the South. No one who has followed, even
cursorily, the effects of the cotton depres-
sion will attempt to minimize it's gravity,
or cease to admire the fortitude with which
farmers, merchants and others Immediately
concerned bore the grim season of trial and
danger. But the very fact that they have
come through those crucial months and now
are busily on the ay to another and, doubt
less, a happier harvest time is reassuring.

= HAVE recently received great many
letters from mothers asking me whether
A they should send their daughters to
college or not.
To this I would reply that it depended
altogether on what was inside and outside
of the girls head, and also, more partic-
ularly, ON the state Of the family pocket
book.
II it had pleased heaven to bestow
upon my daughter a peaches and cream
complexion, and hair with natural wave
in it, and a lissome figure, and straight
nose and dreamy eyes, and made her other
wise easy to contemplate, / should not
bother about superimposing a college edu-
cation upon her other charms unless I had
money to burn. For I should know that
matrimony was daughters predestined ca
Greer, and that while being able to write
M. A. after her name might possibly help
her to be better a,@it wouldn't help
her to become one No honest observer
will deny that being college graduate is
handicap rather than a cOme-on in Sc
curing a husband.
This is the case because the man is
yet to be born who doesn't yearn to know
more than his wife does and to be able
to pose before her as an oracle, and this
is difficult to do with a lady who is
Ph.D. Likewise 1t is the case because the
college bred girl spends in academic halls

masculine taste. And furthermore the col
lege girl, having passed through the i'm
questionable years when she could love
anything in trousers that danced we'll, is
pretty hard to please, and choosey about
husbands.
And-oh, we'll, you know how it is your
self about men. After all, women have to
wait until they are asked to get married,
and it doesn't always pay to look gift
nh in hn
Therefore, sending pretty girl to col
lege belongs to the superfluous luxury class
of things. Indulge in it if you can have
the price, and desire it, and she begs to go
because the other girls are going. What
she learns won't do her any harm, and in
later years when she comes running to you
to know how to make cake that won't fall,
and weeping over the way the butcher s
bill won't tally with her budget, you can,
at least, wonder what would have happened
if you hadn't given her all the blessings
of the higher education for women.

PRESS TALK IN GEORGIA
BY lack PATTERSON
Am AlarminR. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Savannah Press, published down by
the sea, makes the following announcement
that should be of interest about one million
years from date:
'"The geological survey finds that in a
million years all the land will have been
washed into the seas through the rivers and
creeks. BY that time prohibition may ac-
tually prohibit and most of us won't care
whether we are washed into the sea or not"
What we want to know is what will be-
come of the sea after this takes place.

Fishing and Fashions

Fashions may come and fashions may go,
but fishing goes on forever So far as in
formation goes, it is the oldest calling known
to man, and it is just as popular now as
when our antedeluvian ancestors followed it
for their daily food. If you don't believe
this, just note the cars going out toward the
river these days. And if man is away
from his place of business you may know
where to find him.-Tifton Gazette.
And if we lived in Triton or somewhere
else in fishing distance we'd be looking for
the absentee out where the redbreast perch
bite like a hungry mosquito.

The Fire Loss in the United States

The fire waste in 1920 was 00,000,O00.
The loss of life from fire in 1920 was / 5, 900.
This is frightful. There is no excuse for
it. The huge loss, for the most part, the
result of carelessness-and some of this
carelessness is so fragrant as to be almost
criminal.
By care, by taking no chance, by ordinary
diligence, by dozens of little precautions
participated in by all the people Of the coun-
try--this property loss and the loss of life
could be reduced to almost nothing.-Augus-
ia Chronicle
The Chronicle raises an interesting point
in comment. Few fires occur that could not
have been prevented by the employment of
ordinary precaution.
