HARDWARI, PARADISE 6REEN, STRATFORD By DOROTHY ROE AI' Women's Kdllor) Why 'send to college he's going to get married before graduation? This is a question that parents ire asking in increasing numbers, and that educators are an- iwering' in no uncertain terms. The consensus'of the commis- jion on the education of women of the American Council of Edu- ction is that a college education more important to today's romen than ever" before in his- ory, Whether their careers lie or outside of the home. The effects of the current trend oward early marriages is-pointed out in a'new bulletin of the commission by Mabel Newcomer, imeritus professor of Econoni- cs at Vassar college, who says: Waste to Educate? "A century ago the universities and colleges open to women could je numbered on the fingers of one's' hands. Today more are open to women than to men.

But while women's right to knowledge is now accepted there' are iew doubts about its usefulness. "When women married.late, if at all; and'looked forward career before marriage, tile ue of a college degree was: ob-, vious, Today, when 'half tho women marry -before a old enough to graduate from col- cgc, even the educators are-say- ng that it is a waste to educate women who will 'just get married Interferes with Schooling "Yet our greatest waste- in brainpower comes from the fail; urc of so many moru girls than boys among the best of our high school graduates to go to college. Women will use their college education in the home, the'commu- nity, and later on the job. "The real problem is, how can they get a college education when they marry so young?" Several solutions are offered by the commission, composed of 10 leading educators from various sections'of the country, with Mrs, Opal D. David as.director..

In current statement, "The Span ol a Woman's Lile and Learning," both parents and teachers are urged to impress on high school girls the importance continuing their education through al least four years of college. The report states: "Many parents and teachers do not give necessary guidance al essential times of choice and decision in matters which concern continuance of study, early marriage and career and job opportunities. There is. great need for more and better counseling am guidance of students." Go to College Another solution is for women to go back to college and careers after their children are grown. The commission says: "Advice is needed by the in creasing nurnber of adult women who are anxious to further their personal development and con tinue interrupted.educations.

Th'i lowering of the age of marriage and the new patterns of Ameri can home life will steadily aug ment the size of this group."
