ROFESSOR HERBERT K. MILLS
of Vaaaar cemea to the defenae
of the vA)mgn college graduate.
It haa been asserted - that aha
does not marry. Profeesor Mills says
college women marry lit the same pro
portion aa other women of tha aame
social class, and statistics bear him out
College training sharpens women's wits,
and, making them abrewder Judgae of
the members pt ths other sex, renders
them leaa disposed to take Just any man
that comes along, j Bur-college training
no more changes human ' nature in
women than It doea In men, and, like
moat college men, moat college women
find their way to tbe altar Within a few
years after they put off cap and gown.
-Not only does- education not hinder
woman from becoming, wives, but It slso
helps them to make good onea. , The
more the American wife knowa the more
helpful and tha more charming she Is
to her husband. If she know mora than
he, he usually admires her for It with'
Out loving her the leaa :-.'
-It haa been, asserted that 'the College
woman Is a fa) lure as a mother. ; Pro
feasor Mills Is Justified In denying that
too. It may be true that college women
do not bear ao many children aa some
aoivcollege women, but their superior
knowledge enables them to rear better
those they do have. The college woman
Is better qualified when her children
grew to girlhood and boyhood to super
intend their-education -and " to become
aad remain their moat valuable and
trusted aa -well as their moat devoted
guide and counselor In every detail of
their - young lives. There are women
who. In aplte of a collage education, are
totally unfit, for the duties of mother
hood... There ara many, woman who. In
spite of the lack ef It are almost Ideal
mothera. But other thlnga equal, the
more a woman knows. And the stronger,
finer mind aha poaaeaaea, tha better
mother she makea,
' As time paases tha demand for college
women for wives Will Increase.. It ta
to be hoped the supply will si ways equal
the, demand. Tha future hope of thla
country is centered, largely In men and
women who shall . have had1 COll re

"My Dear Sir: For the paat five years

and the' opportunities to steal
from my employers have been numerous
but I have always given them a square

but have beaten tbe temptation down.

"But now comes the rub the concern
fof which I work, while Insisting upon

goods, shoddy goods for good goods.

I can. If that's tha game,, what's the
use ef my doing as I am T What do4

It I perfectly , true that honesty is
the best pollcyt that-even from -the
business viewpoint it pays to be honeat.

while this la the truthlt ja.but0e

Honeaty has - a higher reward than
that which consists of commercial suc

respect and peace of mind which are
better than gold, and with which noth
