To aoma It meant that a Blrl was re markablr lntafl actual, for no one would spend money In educating- a stupid girl ' any mora than he would homestead, a timber elalm. To-others, and to the ma " jorlty, probably. It was a shocking- de " partura from the ' beautiful, ' domeatio sphere of sweet, namby-pamby ' woman hood, -as bad as the rabid woman suf- frag-e advocate. ' Later It became affection, a posing- for Intellectual tastes. Those days hare entirely passed away, however, and while to the few old fogies - remain to hang: to the old beliefs, as happens In every progressive step, yet a coll era education has come to be con Idered as necessary for a woman as a man and It forms an Important part of the general culture that la sought In this 'day by every well-developed woman. It la new a misfortune not to have a college education Instead of an unusual fortune to have one. w-.
