Yerian. There seems to be a somewhat prevalent opinion that a college education fits a woman for almost any position she may wish to occupy but that of a wife and mother. She may with propriety be a teacher or perhaps a physician; but if she uses the same qualities that so well adapt her to be guardian of the mind and health of the children, her education is deemed as lost or worth- The same opinion also exists in re gard to girls who, although not college bred, have received the advantages of a so called liberal education. Public opinion find, Psion in such phrases as "TTow much better oflT is sh than such-a-one who never had an education She'd better have done somthing with her education before she settled down." The place above all others where an educated woman is needed, is the home of thosfe in moderate circumstances, where the mother, with a little outside help, does her own work and tends her own babies.

It is! probably she did not have a special training for her duties, but her habits of "study, her interest in the advance- mentjof the race, and her desire to do whatever she does in the best possible way, lead her to select the best methods of caring for her children. We claim that a girl with a college or a liberal educationdoes have a special training for motherhood. Not in the sense, of course, that she has experi mental knowledge of baby-tending That is the lot of comparatively few. Her course of study has given, or should have given her a comprehensiye know! edsre of Phisiolosrr, including the de velopment of the teeth, and what it teaches In regard to food for different ages a practical knowledge of hygiene, including food, baths, dress, ventilation, exercise; and a few general rules in re gard to care for the sick, a knowledge of chemistry including the chemistry of food a knowledge of physiology, giving her an interest the development of the mind and the formation of habits.
