CLEVER ARGUMENT ?
Os A WOMAN
AGAINST CO-EDUCATION. A
By Misa Mary Shaw. S
’•4k*
Written for the Tribune.
When requested by the Tribune for
'views upon the co education question I
answered, No. But using a woman’ s
prerogative I have changed my mind.
It was expected, I believe, that I was
favorable to co-education. This I sup
pose was from the fact that I am a club
woman ond because my name has upon
several occasions appeared in print.
When I say that j do. not favor the
opening of the door of our State Uni
versity to girls I realize that I have
made myself a target for reproach
among many of my best lady friends,
friends whose attainments place them
far above me in the intellectual scale.
Miss Rosa Woodbury of Athens who
was one of agitators of the move
ment I cherish among my most esteemed
friends. Being a schoolmate and in
some studies a classmate I had oppor
tunity of knowing the many qualities of
mind and heart which make her a
noble woman and a leader among
women. During our school days there
existed a pleasant rivalry between us.
This rivalry instead of.diminishing aug
mented a very delightful friendship,
and from that experience I fear no
abatement of her good will because I
disagree with her upon this, one of her
pet plans. She may reproach but her
broad charity will forgive what she may
deem 'he error of a small intelligence.
Among other friends ardently ad
mired, yet with whom I differ, are Mrs.
A. B. S. Moseley and Mrs. Lindsay
Johnson. These two make np the Rome
Georgian, a paper which has done more
for the interest of woman than any
Other published in Georgia. Then the
summary of favorable reasons given by
one of Georgia’s most capable educator’s
Prof. J. C. Harris, together with the
vast number of illustrous men and women
favorable to co education, the seemingly
successful experiment of many cele
brated institutions form a foe more
than worthy than my steel.
Yet quoting from a friend, there is
cause for thanksgiving in the fact that
not only the voice of genius but any hon
est conviction may enter the arena in
the cause of right and truth, What I
say upon this subject is not from the in
telligence of a University education, not
from any experience in the line of co
education whatever, not from any
knowledge of statistics from schools
which have tried the plan, not from
knowledge of the reasons which have
caused the decay of empires and nations
more powerful and magnificent than
any existing today. Neither the fear of
impairment of the usefulness of Geor
gia’s University, the closing of Lucy
Cobb Institute, or of Shorter’s doors,
nor yet the fact that Mr. Panl Black
will think much less of his diploma in
case the University receives girls among
her students influences my feeling upon
this subject. These are all foreign to the
truth of the matter as it appears to me.
The shadows cast by the present al
ways dip far enough into the future to
point to some extent the trend of events,
“Tis the future which will suffer or
profit by this movement. To the present
it is an exciting experiment, a canse
about which many may grow eloquent,
into which the whole effort of lives may
be thrown, but to the shadory future
THE NEW WAY.
Wine of Cardui has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure
WineWi
taken In the privacy of a woman’s
. own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for Its adoption. It cures any
disease that ccrnes under the head
of “female troubles’’ —disordered
menses, faljirg of the womb,
•’whites,” change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. SI.OO at

directions, address, giving symptoms,
the "Ladles' Advisory Department,”
The Charts*ooga Medicine Co., Chatta
nooga. Tenn.
W. I. ADDISOH, M.D., Cary. Miss., says:
“I use Wino of Cardui extensively In
my practice and find it a most excellent
preparation for female troubles.”
W7OMEN used
’ to think “fe
male diseases "
could only be
treated after “lo
c a 1 examina
tions" by physi
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. The in
troduction of
will be given the effect of this nine
teenth century cause.
Beacon lights burn only upon rocky
shores. To me it seems the note of
rivalry between the sexes which is
threading through the business social,
and intellectual life of the times is a
beaconlight which if not heeded may
wreck a civilization whose prosperity,
happiness and moral greatness is de
pendant upon its home life.
The highest culture and development
of woman, intellectually, morally and
spiritually is the Keynote in the further
ing of this home life. But let this de
velopment be in accordance with the
divine pla-i, in a distinctly feminine
way. '
A Wise Creator who made no truth
without individual or relative beauty
cast woman in a different mould phy
sically from that of man, he limited her
strength as was pleasing to him. He
created them not alike, not to develop
alike seems his intent. But each in their
way and according to their strength
may strive for the highest and best al
lowed human.
One of the chief arguments in favor
of co-education is the stimulus produced
by the rivalry of the sexes. This is a
very hurtful argument or so appears to
me. Few women are given the physical
strength to endure day by day and year
by year the tasks of a man. Putting the
weaker against the stronger in itself
makes an unequal race. When these
races at college are finished then comes
the new aspiration for the woman.
Having become infatuated with the
beauties of knowledge, incited by the
rivalry of the college race a spirit of in
dependance being bred, she chooses a
protession or trade and enters a new
race with her antagonist. The free
life is too charming, so in a few gen
erations the woman and home life of
today are lost sight of and the real
ization comes that woman has sold
her birth right for a met-sos pottage.
That knowledge is beautiful none
will deny. That woman should be
given equal advantages with man in
this line all liberal minds will con
cede. but let the opportunities be
provided for man and woman in
dividually not collectively. Give
woman as liberal education as broad
culture as she may desire, in the spirit
of the beautiful arrangement of a'
higher power, not in petty rivalry
with man.
Given this she will rear sons with
liberal minds daughters gifted with
feminine graces and thus the future
will perfect the harmonious efforts of
the present.
The nineteenth century will be im
mortal ized by the progress made by
her women. The union of women
during the latter part of this century
for the furthering of all plans for the
good of humanity tbe broadening and
uplifting of womankind is a move
ment which wi'l bear rich testimony
of woman’s power and capabilities
during the ages to coma. Here is a
field broad and worthy the most dili
gent culture when all its acres have
been thoroughly tilled then let her
seeK new grounds for culture. But
may she not encroach upon tbe acres
of tbe other sex until all of her own
are thoroughly set in order.
If in the years to come • woman has
attained by generations of culture
strength of mind and body to enter
evenly tbe walksof men and a sur
plus to devote to tbe duties of woman
hood and should men invite her out
among their pursuits then let her go.
At present the movement would be
antagonistic to tbe best results for
humanity. Tbe law of perfect beauty
is natural, not forced development.
These are now my sentiments, if from
more conclusive argument I see fit to
'change my mind I will again use a
woman’s prerogative and do so.

Thousands endorse it as the best

remedy are almost miraculous. Try

Although a pract.ioner of near
twenty years, my mother influenced
me to procure Botanic Blood Balm. B.
B. 8., for her. She had been confined
to her bed several months with rheu
mutism, which had stubbornly resis
ted all the usual remedeies. Within
twenty-four hours after commencing
B. B. 8., I observed marked relief.
She has commenced her third bottle,
and is nearly as active as ever, and
has been in the the front -ard with
“rake in hauu,” cleaning up. Her
improvement is truly wonderful and
immensely gratifying.
