oseph whitely of the dopart department part ment of history hl etory who said bald in part the whole of history may be regarded as aa a grand resultant and certainly beyond the power of human measurement we may however got get at some approximate view we way may for con ol of treatment take tabe up the study in sections sect lODS taking the idea oi 01 a one resultant and prices proceeding ding we may search out the vary ing causes that have contributed to that resultant we may also consider the instrument used by the history makers e g the sword the pen pan etc but our special aim this

have done it so crowdedly that albere has been little opportunity and still loom leas desire for woma iia work but things now are changing there has been an evolution of woman far away and from behind the great scenes of our human trams drama she has bag steadily evolved until at lost last she has grown strong enough to stand by the side aide of man we era are not intending here to affirm that place to esthe the same as man or that it should be in the fullest sense identical we are sufficiently antiquated to think that womans comans position in the worlds life is very different different in nature inu and measure of endowment and equally apart as we judge in the manifest purpose of her ministry physically women woman Is ie weaker than man Intellectually nearer to mans strength emotionally deeper and stronger than man woman has bai more grace and softness of beauty than man she touches man more effectively than man woman Is the beat medium for the transmission of the very
