DOES EDUCATION MAKE OLD MAIDS?
By ARLETTA BURROUGHS.
S It true that education la making
old maids?
Dr. William L. Felter, princi
pal of the Girls' High school of Brook
lyn, claims that It Is. ' He argues that
a complete reform must be made a#
to the higher education of girls If th*
world la to be made permanently bet
ter through them.
He holds that the purpose of educa
tion Is not to give to the world woman
musicians, artiste and authors; that
bualneaa and professional women are
not needed. He believes that the kind
of women moat needed la the one “with
even greater potentialities, with even
richer opportunities for blessing the
race and of making the circle qf her
life radiant with helpful and benign
Influences—she la a wife and mother.”
Dr. Falter seems to bemoan the fact
that higher education keeps some
women from marrying. While this Is
true In some case*, it certainly Is not
so much to be bewailed aa would s#em
at flrat thought Better that one wom
an ahould shirk her duty to posterity
than that thousands ahould half way
perform theirs.
It Is well said that a child has n
right to be well bora. If this Is true/
does It not follow that the more cul
tivated the mind of the mother the
more worth living will be her chil
dren? Who ever heard of a man be
ing handlcaped by the fact that hla
mother was a well-educated woman?
Is It Impossible to educate too highly
the human brain, be It mate or female?
Rather Is It not desirable to so direct
this education that It shall by transntls-
ston raise the mental, moral and physi
cal level of the human animal as the
generations pasa Into history?
1 fancy the look upon the face of
the high i school girl to whom any one
date Intimate that she could possibly
deteriorate to real usefulness In pro
portion to the amount of higher'edu
cation ahe acquired, and every one
dreams'of marriage as the highest goal
to be reached.
It th* college woman remain* un
married It Is usually from choice, and
who shall aay that a more desirable
state of affairs does not exist where
girls are most careful In their choice
of husbands. Nine-tenths of the do-
mestlc misery existing today |, ,| U ,
to thoughtleaa marriages, and I wel
come anything that will cause our sir ■
to pause and consider well before they
take the step to matrimony. If hlxher
education will bring about this deslr-
able end, by all means let us educate
our girls to the top notch.
Examples of self-made men whose
parents were Illiterate and whose
struggles In mounting the ladder of
success,are recorded In history prove
nothing. They did not succeed be
cause their mothers were Illiterate but
In spite of It
I venture to s«y that Mr. Felter or
any other good American would hesi
tate long before giving the palm f„ r
Intelligence to any other nation of
m«n. yet where will you find women
with the Independence and chances for
higher development of the American
wife outside of our own land?
They do not seem to me. as a rule,
to have made such bad mothers so far
and It would seem hardly possible for
them to suddenly become so Just be
cause they have become a little more
familiar with the sciences or learned
the history of music along with the
ability to pound out sounds.
I think It Just possible that Dr. Fel
ter haa become unnecessarily alarmed.
A little advice to the boys as to tak
ing a new start and keeping up with
the girls would be more timely.
Could President Roosevelt and such
advisers os Dr. Felter have their wav.

an undesirable position. Hnpplly, girls

of their whole lives would encompass.
They have elected to prepare them

wifehood and motherhood.
While Dr. Felter*! attack on higher
education for gtrla ha* caused quits a
stir. It will have no effect on things
educational for women, you may be
sure.
The time haa gone by when woman
will allow herself to be dictated to in
such matters. She has made phenom
enal progress along these lines of late
years, and she will make still greater

That entity of man's being which
discerns only through Intuition—the

Igqratton or enervation aa is that
which finds expression In the five phy

holiest mission, or, through perversion,
that which will defeat It* purpose.
Upon the development and training of

While many are seemingly doml-

the very meanest type, bending every

al Interests, unmindful of the rights
and privilege* and comforts of others.
It la Inconceivable that any human be
ing Is *o depraved that there may not
be found deep down In the recease* of
hla or her soul a desire that all man
kind might be happy, relieved of all
sorrow and suffering, the only differ

wonder that w* have not already wit

From observation, from experience,
from reason, from the teachings of the
Bible, and from the eternal truths so
plainly engrossed upon every page of
nature, I am fully persuaded that If
even a very email percentage of the

more Judiciously. In proper directions.

Why has our progress been so slow-.
While ao much haa been accomplished,
while the world stands todmy upon a
moral and religious plane superior to
that occupied by the people of snjr
