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. woman would, Indeed, be reduced to an undesirable position. Hnpplly, girls themselves propose to have some nay In such Important things as the scheme of their whole lives would encompass. They have elected to prepare them selves ae beat suits themselves for 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 strides along tha road of learning tn the yaars to come,‘In spite of those who would place obatades In hef path.

That entity of man's being which discerns only through Intuition—the soul—Is as susceptible of either In- Igqratton or enervation aa is that which finds expression In the five phy sical senses, capable of the hlgheat and holiest mission, or, through perversion, that which will defeat It* purpose. Upon the development and training of thla occult power In man depends hla recognition of Its existence.
