In an attempt to answer satisfactorily this question, which is of paramount importance in this day and age, the last two numbers of the Outlook have devoted pages to queries and discus- sions of the topic with opinions offered in letters from 500 college seniors. If you would know the contents of those letters, interesting and enlight- ening as they are, you must consult last week's issue of the Outlook. We have here space for but one short ex- cerpt from the pages of discussion in which the creator of the controversy sums up the result of bis investiga- tion. Says Mr. Bok, for it is none other than the editor of that popular magazine, The Ladles' Home Journal, who baa sought these letters from col- , lege seniors: "Such an investigation (securing an expression of opinion on the value of . • collegiate education) was recently TOade la connection with several hun- dreds ot college-bred women who had been out of college from three to twenty yean and bad gone into work or were at the heads of homes. Here . the .consensus of opinion was that while the college bad benefited them physically, culturally, and socially. C> and had helped them much in mental training, the great lack, as expressed , by seventy per cent of the women who 'f had becomes wives, mothers, and :--. housekeepers, that they felt, since as- 5 sumlng their mature obligations, was hv that the college had la no practical lEaenae fitted them for their work as *< wife, mother; or bomemaker. This was generally deplored, and when |& these collegiate alumnae were asked g^jn what respect ib^jrojttllJtaprove^ f": the modern women's college to make HI it more effective for the girls of the 1? future, they almost j*?i unanimously an- swered that they would ♦introduce lH three studies and make them co-equal with cultural studies: first, domestic science; second, personal hygiene; | |and, third, civics." y:; 'it Is hard to believe that an educa- §§§tlon which has improved a woman ^♦•physically, culturally and socially" and "has benefited her much in mental ^ji^iratning" has been of nC material as- sistance la the performance of the du- ties which came to her in after lifeâ€" those of the wife, the mother, and the housekeeper. To deny that a sound : body is not an asset to the woman r whose sphere has fallen In the home, to think thai anything which has im- proved her "culturally and socially" is of, no value and that "mental train- , lag" has left her lest able to cope with the problems of life, Is to take |awsyfrom the . position ot wife, notber, and homemaker, the dignity which separates human . motherhood isam that ef^e lower animals.- ; tte iffludi Smith Industrial ' tor Pcnondont Colored CMrls was teiaally oyes^^ pasllc bupec- cloa yesterday.

Speaking before the <€ook County Teachers' institute in Chicago recent- ly, Dr. G. Stanley Hall attacked the custom of giving long vacations to the children in the public schools and" advocated cutting down flBe summer holiday to three or four wejks. It Is u generally recognized facfr that the average child cornea back to school in the fall with a very faint idea of the knowledge that he has so painfully ac- quired the year before and that the first few weeks of the new session must be given over to regaining the1 ground lost during vacation. • - Fathers of school children will probably agree with Dr. Hall in his Opinion of the undesirability of the ten weeks' vacation period, but from quite different motives. To them the exten- sion of the school term into the sum- mer would obviate the weeks of lone- liness when the family is "out of town" and he is kept trudging, pa- tient and uncomplaining,- at his work, deprived of the home comforts which are more needed during the strain of the heated term than at other seasons of the year. THE TRAIN SPEEDOMETER. With the installation of speedo- meters on the locomotives of the Chi- cago and Northwestern railroad, a fa- vorite excuse of trainmen la the case of accident has been removed. Here- after It will be of no avail for the man at the engine to testify that he "didn't, know how fast he was going," for it is the purpose of the little instrument to keep him informed of that important fact. ... ; %;3?'A§f?:F'; Especially valuable will the new ap- pliance be in deterring the aaginaft of the train which, for one reason or an- other has lost time and fallen behind schedule, from imperilling the lives of bis passengers by running at a speed too high for safety. -------;--; The added safeguard is an innova- tion which will meet with entire ap- proval by the patrons of. the road even should it necessitate the loss of aa additional five minutes or so in the> run to Chicago on a train already HI Says That All Railways Shouli Be forced to Give Ample Protection at thelStreet Crossings^:, CORONER ALSO ISilACTIVE late. * * * THE SEASON ENDS? The season of 1913.ended with list week's encampment at Camp Oood Wilr, and the good people of Evanston who have made the blessings of good air, pure food and rest possible to many hundreds of women and chil- dren who, except for privileges of the free camp, would have had to spend the entire hot season confined In the congested district of Chicago, Where the miserable quarters which they call "home" are located, may feel that a good work has been done. 4JS The season has meant a week, and in a few cases a fortnight, of unimag- Ined comfort, luxury and happiness, to the little people and their mothers; to many of Evanston's kind-hearted citizens it has meant a season of hard work. The very satisfactory result of the summer's work, however, has recompensed the latter. A year light- ened by the glimpse of happiness and relaxation will be the part of the guests., ', 'â- â- " '/i\^r 46t â€" *.* m '::<Wyy0- ft was assuredly a short-sighted leg- islature which defeated a bill to keep children under fourteen years of age oat of the Georgia cotton mills. Whatever there asay he o/ present profit ?•».'â- / the »» "Every railroad company which maintains a dangerous or blind cross- ing should be forced to place safety appliances so as to protect human life. These companies should be glad to provide safe crossings, first because they have the money, to do it, and sec- ondly, because It would save them thousands Of dollars annually." Such was the opinion of Police Mag- istrate John P. Boyer this morning concerning the recent number of deaths in automobile accidents, which have resulted from "blind crossings." He cited that while the grade cross- ings* in Bvantton are provided for, the viaduct death traps at Emerson Street and Mulford street, where the Deer- field bartender was killed a few weeks ago, should be remedied by the rail* road"companles. t- They Are Death Traps. "The viaducts at the Emerson street and sto© at Mulford street are nothing more than legalized death traps," said the Bhranston justice. "They should not be allowed to remain, bat should be straightened so that a clear view may be obtained by drivers of vehicles In each direction." In addition to the responsibility which rests on the railroad companies for maintaining dangerous crossings; Justice Beyer haa a plan which he has Ions; agitated to do away with automo- bile speeding; He favors the" of a law which would inflict a jail tence in addition to the payment of a fine and costs on the driver of an auto- mobile esaght speeding. v"Aut© speeding would be kept at • emss «|M*0.»S«, or io.« per seat,] As mt«resttag feature at the operat- liit aqpesdjhire account la that the sm»Us«t contributor to the excess ^ over tb* preceding year is the iUm of H|f oo»t of transportation.
