played a prominent interna-

representing foreign govern

of the King of Italy, met the

Museum Notable Addition
To Attractions of City
By SENATOR THEODORE FRANCIS GREEN

The passage by the Senate of the bill exempting from
taxation the Larz Anderson estate Massachusetts
Avenue when it becomes the property of the Society of
the Cincinnati is long step forward in the endeavor to
provide the society with national headquarters
mensurate with its Importance.
Mrs Larz Anderson, in accordance with the expressed
wishes of her late distinguished husband, generously
offered this valuable property to the society It will be
necessary however, if the society is to the cond
tons expressed and implied for it. not only to have the
property exempted from taxation but also to raise
endowment fund to meet the expenses of maintenance
When this is done, another notable addition will have
been made to the attractions of this Capital City.
The action of the Federal Government is in line with
the action of the French government At the time ASH
ingon founded the society, branch of it founded
in France and in consequence the French government
not only exempted the society from taxation but
gave it quarters in of the historic buildings in
Versailles.
As the in charge of this bill in Congress- very

Indiana for having introduced and successfully brought
to passage in the House of Representatives duplicate

T ARR ANDERSON, who

taken from that of the Ro-

strived for nor were given much op-
portunity to achieve enAinence.
1T is quite significant that the
proportion Of eminent women has in
creased tremendously since they have
been accorded much the same educa-
tional and social advantages granted
the male.
THE second reason is this: Women
are temperamentally unsuited in va
rious activities, which explains why
they have achieved less IN the fields
of science and philosophy than in
literature. Thus, in one study Of 1858
eminent women it was found that
337 achieved eminence through liter
ary pursuits. although the highest
degree Of eminence was obtained AS
sovereigns. political leaders, mothers
of eminent men and 50 forth.
This temperamental difference,
however, should not be taken too
seriously, since 1t is possibly environ
mental in origin. and there is evidence
to indicate that 1t may eventually dis
appear from the psychological hori-
1on.
Finally, women have failed to
achieve eminence because they are in
q certain sense biologically united
for the type Of productivity that leads
to renown. Nature has destined the
female of the species to spend her
time and her energies very largely in
child bearing and home making, two
activities whose worth has received
scant recognition. but which demand
as much real genius as many activities
of the less noble kind.
For this reason. more than any
other, women will always lag behind
men In point Of genius or eminence-
as far as numbers are concerned. But
we should not make the obvious mis-
take Of assuming that standards Of
eminence in any way regulate the
existence Of abilities in women, espe-
cially when We recall that these stand
ards were devised in large part by
members Of the opposite SEX"
