Dr. tvnilam 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 ae to the higher education of girls If the world le 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, artists and authors; that business and professional women are not needed. He believes that the kind of women most needed Is the one ‘‘with even greater potentialities, with even richer opportunities for blessing the race and of making the circle of her life radiant with helpful and benign Influences—she Is a wife and mother. Dr. Felter seems to bemoan the fact that higher education keeps some women from marrying. While this Is tnfe In some coses. It certainly Is not so much to be bewailed as would seem at first thought. Better that one wom an should shirk her duty to posterity than that thousands should halt way perform theirs. It Is well said that a child he* o right to be well born. 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 male or female? Rather le It not deelrable to so direct this education that it shall by transmis sion raise the mental, moral and physi cal level of the human animal as the generations pose Into history7 I fancy the look upon the face of the high school girl to whom any one dare Intimate that she could possibly deteriorate to real usefulness In pro portion to the amount of higher edu cation she acquired, and every one dreams of marriage .os the highest goal to be reached. If the college woman remains un married It la usually from choice, and who shall say that a more desirable state of affairs does not exist where girls are moat careful In their choice of husbands. Nine-tenths of the do mestic misery existing today Is due to thoughtless marriages, and * *“* come anything that will cause our glr , to pause and consider well before they take tho step to matrimony. If hlah.r education will bring .bout this dish- able end. by all means let ue educate our girls to the top notch. Examples of self-made men whose parents were Illiterate end wh™J struggles In mounting the ladder of ■uccess are recorded In history prove nothing. They did not succeed be cause their mothers were Illiterate, but in spite or it. I venture to «ay that Mr. Felter or any other good American would heel- tate ong before giving the palm for Intelligence to any other nation of F** yhy will you And women with the independence and chances for higher development of the American wife outside of our own land? They do not seem to me, ae 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. Pel- ter has become unnecessarily alarmed. A llttlo 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 as Dr. Felter have their way, woman would. Indeed, be reduced to an undesirable position. Happily, girls themselves proposo'to have some say in such Important things as the scheme of their whole lives would encompass. They havo elected to prepare them selves ns best suits themselves for wifehood and motherhood. While Dr. Felter”# attack on higher education for girts has caused quite a stir. It will have no effect on things educational for women, you may bs sure. The time has gone by whan 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 strides along the road of learning In the years to come. In spite of tho«e who would place obstacles In her path. PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE Bjr J. B. LOVELACE. As before stated, the natural procliv ity of humanity Is onward and upward, reaching out In every direction for the good, the beautiful, the true, the Innate longing of the aoul to regain Ita first high estate. That entity of man'a being which dlacerna only through Intuition—the aoul—Is os susceptible of either In- vlgoratton or enervation as Is that which finds expression In the five phy sical senses, capable of the highest and holiest mission, or, through perversion, that which will defeat its purpose. Upon the development and training of thla occult power In man depends hli recognition of Its existence,! Its powers and possibilities, and upon this recog nition and exercise In the proper direc tion, his happiness and greatest use fulness, the most unselfish and God like efforts In the Interest of all man kind. While many are seemingly doml- Inated by purely selfish motives of the very- meanest type, bending every energy to the advancement of per sonal Interests, unmindful of the rights and privileges and comforts of others, It Is Inconceivable that any human be ing Is so depraved that there may not be found deep down In the recesses of his or her soul a desire that all man kind might be happy, relieved of all sorrow and suffering, the only differ ence between this class and their an tipodes being a matter of education for which some one somewhere some how Is responsible. Even If there are such, they must be so few in number, and the great hosts of those who claim to be honestly and earnestly seeking correction of present undesirable con ditions, the speedy elimination of all degrading Influences, being so largely In the majority, that It Is a matter of wonder that we have not already wit nessed the consummation so devoutly wished. 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, t am fully persuaded that If even a very email percentage of the time, effort and money that la being spent In the name of charity was spent more judiciously. In proper directions. In prevention rather than cure. In edu cating and enlightening, millions of eyes Hooded with tefira of grief would be sparkling with Joy and gladness; millions of hearts agonising In despair would be made to rejoice and to feel that life. Instead of being a forced bur den without consent, la a blessing full of hope and purpose; the thousands of dirty, disease-breeding, moral-corrupt ing hovels, their Inmates desolate wo men and starving (physically and mentally) children, a burning shame to any even half-civlllxed people and to the Institutions whose highest earthly mission Is the correction and proven- over by fathers and mothers whose minds being freed from unnecessary enslaving, .degrading burdens, would become susceptible to the teaching! and influence of the Christian religion, realising the duties and responsibili ties of life, of parenthood, educating and training their children for happi ness and for lives of the greatest use fulness; our prisons would be turned Into Institutions of learning, and our "temples of justice" Into temples of worship to the living God. Why has our progress been so slow? While so much has been accomplished, while the world itands today upon a moral and rellgtoui plane superior to that occupied by the people of any former age, la It not a reaaonable prop- oiltlon to naanme that little has been done as compared with what might have been accomplished? This being admitted, then doe* It not devolve upon us aa a religious duty to look about for the cause and remedy? All failure In nny undertaking what- ■oever Is due to Injudicious or misap plied effort.
