What to Teach Our Girls.

Let us teach the girl that her education is not thrown away if she should choose to settle quietly down after graduation to be the guide of a home circle. She may be a greater benefactor than one who becomes famous through scientific discovery. The study and practical care of the needs and comforts of a home and the education of children Is the highest and grandest opportunity yet afforded to woman. The world may take care of Itself, but tile home cannot. Let the girl grow uiaturaliy, as we do the boy, and give her the benefit of the broadening influence of public spirit and responsibility. Let her have a share In all those widening circles of duty in the homo and liicii we shall see her reaching the highest type of womanhood, competent to meet any demands that may be made upon her.
