The vocations are a last resort.
Matrimony. with an enlightened
interest in the problems OF the COM
munity is regarded by the great
majority OF educated women as a
real career, with great and inspiring
possibilities.
1t has been said that about so per
cent. Of college women remain un-
married. The facts dispute this esti-
mate. Records at Goucher College
show that the percentage Of unmar-
ried graduates is nearer 20. and
when one considers that these rec
ords include the girls Of the latest
classes, just out Of college, it is OBJ
vious that even this estimate is
probably too high for fair considera-
ton.
Many reasons have been cited for
the fact that married college women
are not in a greater authority. The
war, and its effect on business, is
chief among these reasons.
Another, put forward recently by
DR.. Jon Alfred Mjoen of the Acad.
emy Of Science at Christiana, Nor.
way, is that the education of women
is too similar to that given to men
As a means OF increasing the per-
centage OF married college women
he favors the liberation Of woman
from her present unnatural, mascu-
line education
In other words, the bulk Of the
blame is placed at the door of CO.
education.
There is much truth in this.
In a co-eduoational institution
everything is done for and by the
men. In spite OF all that can be
said to the contrary, the courses are
arranged for the men.
In many such institutions women
are not welcome in classes with men,
and there is a subtle tendency on
the part OF men teachers either tc
look upon the women in their classes
as sort of necessary evil or to re.
gard them in a more lenient way
than they ought to be regarded.
In a college for women. however
the feminine interest is paramount
In their studies, and in their extra
curricular activities, the girls car
an concentrate on the reail aim o
education for women-which
greater usefulness. primarily in tn
home and in the community.
At the Goucher, there are fey
more popular subjects than tn
courses on the Family, Family Hy
giene. Child Psychology, Child Wei
fare and Nutrition and Dietetics.
The president. the vice-presiden
and the treasurer OF our alumni as
5 sociation--all married women wit
, splendid families-can testify tina
there is no career for the college
trained girl preferable to the caret
!. OF home-making.
