In those professions where women are as well qualified and efficient as men, they receive generally the same salaries. But the great question seems to be centered on the influence it has upon her home life, many declaring that college graduates are disqualified as home-makerThey say that in nearly all cases they marry late in life, and often not at all, and often when they do marry, they are As yet the not good wives and mothers. is is as it tentative, question only recently that they have been granted the privilege of equal opportunities in education; and the woman college graduate has yet to prove her efficiency as a home-makeBut to the thinking mind, it would seem that the sacred requirements of motherhood would naturally demand all the advantages of the highest education.

When by more intelligently directing her energies she can accomplish more for her children than by remaining constantly beneath the portals of her own home ? And it stands without argument that mothers as typewriters, school teachers, or even as lawyers and doctors, can do more for their children than those who work from sun to sun in other ways, for half the remuneration.

Cannon, Cashier What we most need are broad-minde- d women who love their husbands and their children, those who know and love duty. Such women will perform faithfully their duty nearest them. Such women, even in professional life, when by necessity they earn a livelihood, will devote more time and careful thought to their families than the unprincipled woman who has wealth and all her time at her disposal.
