WHY WOMEN EXCEL MEN AT COLLEGE
Since co-education has become general in the col
leges and universities of the country, the young wo
men show a superiority over their brothers who are
on the same equality and enjoying the advantages
and opportunities of every facility afforded by the
institutions. Recently at Harvard, where a series of
intelligence tests were given to 107 students and 87
girl undergraduates at Radcliffe, the girls wop a
ranking 4.5 per cent higher than the college men.
These figures have been made public by members of
the faculty in charge of the test.
Dr. A. A. Robuck, of Harvard, stated that the av
erage intelligence of girls in colleges was higher
than that of the men. He attributed this condition
to a more careful process of selection on the part of
the-parents, sending girls to college, while many men
"go to college merely because it is the thing.” There
is much in that presumption on the part of the pro
fessor. So many young men enter college without a'
serious thought of the future and what it has in
store for them. They are unprepared and without
the proper consideration of the importance and re
sponsibility resting upon them for their future, With
many of them it is merely a frolic and when the time
hns come for them to be prepared for the struggles
of life, they are without training or foundation to
meet nnd overcome the obstacles which we all must
experience during life. When collego days have end
ed the trials of real life commence and if we have
not prepared ourselves failure is bound to be our
fate.
The girl who enters college does so with n determi
nation to succeed and fit herself for some profession
or business and when she has ended her college days
she has gained something from the training and edu
cation received which will fit her for a useful nnd
successful life. Applying herself and devoting her
energies to secure that which has been provided for
her, little escapes her efforts to store away in the
cells of her brain that which Is an asset for her fu
ture success and the making of a capable and stable
business or professional woman. -
The difference between the woman and the man
is clear. The Harvard professor diagnre-cs the caso
correctly; investigation in practically all cases will
prove his analysis to be sound, sane and authorative-
ly stated.
IMPROVED HIGHWAYS COMMUNITY BUILDERS
The vhluo of improved highways cannot be over
cstimnted in the development and growth of com
munities through which they traverse. Here aro sev
eral pithy arguments in favor of increased highway
improvement which are taken from an exchange
published in Colorado. It says:
The highway is not simply a road. It is n*t
simply a surface.
It is the assurance of the civilising influence
of better communication between section!.
It is a silent, but persistent factor for the re
duction of living costs.
It is an humble, but powerful foe of ignorance
for the reason that it makes easily accessible our .
splendid system of public schools to the people
of rural districts.
It is a safeguard of our food supply. It is a
-norantee to the public against the prostrating
influence of industrial uphevai and interrup
tion to distribution therefrom.
It is the popular open air theatre of enjoy
ment of the family.
It is the textbook of nature to our people.
It is the connecting link between the .home
and the factory.
It is the call to open air; the great pyhsician
who makes no charge for his services.
The people who are opposed to good roads
oppose them for the same reason that some peo
ple oppose our great - public school Bystem—
they are not informed.
Highway development has done more to Increase
the value of farm lands than any other Improvement.
In fact it has brought the markets of the country
to the door of the farmers. Good roads and automo
biles are the life of commercial and agricultural in
dustries and to these two agencies this country owes,
in a great measure, its wonderful growth and de
velopment during the past few years.
Paved highways and public schools are the great
est assets a country can have. With this condition
comes prosperity; satisfaction to all and better cit
izenship. Build better highways, public schools and
churches and the rest of good things in life are bound
to come.
