Editorials For
Women Folks

Woman only can now save man
from the Unsuitable lust for
power and riches that is destroying
the best in human relationship.
Thus says Rabindranath Tagore,
East Indian poet, philosopher and
Nobel prize winner.
The poet sees u society as one
filled with marital tragedies and
explains it as the result of q civili-
cation which is the work of a no
madic man; and one whose instinct
to exploit has assumed such pro-
portions that his finer self Is multi
fed.
Women. says Tagore, are the chief
sufferers from this tendency, for de-
pendent on man for support they
have been compelled to develop
that quality which most attracted
men and as a consequence, the sex
consciousness of society is over-
%powering in its abnormality.
In the current issue of The Men
tor ,Tagore outlines his idea of
woman's sphere-a thing Of spirit
ual vastness. He says:
If woman begins to believe, and to
behave accordingly, that, though
biologically, her function is differ
ent from that Of man, psychololog-
ically she is one with him; if the
human world in its mentality be-
comes exclusively male, then before
long it will be reduced TO utter in
sanity.
The time has come when the ma
terial ambition Of man has assumed
such a colossal proportion that
home is in danger of losing its cen
ter of gravity for him-this woman
alone can prevent.
Woman has to be ready to suffer
She cannot allow her emotions to be
dulled or polluted, for these are to
create her life's atmosphere, but
for which her world would be dark

day I'd help the coal black ones.
