To Educate American Girl.

Th Society of American Woman, In
Zxndon haa put forward, a atupehdous
. ' educational achema which It proposes to
bring before the general federation at
Ita biennial meeting la St. Paul next
June. From all - th ' Information
. gleaned ao far we fall to aa but little
advantage to be gained by the club
women of .thla country, with the ad
vantage and profit decidedly oa th sld
-.ef th English. -
Mra. Ulynea." who U prealdeat of the
oulaty of theae expatriated women of
London, - waa formerly a prominent
member of New- York Soroala. In-aa
Interview with a Loadon paper she said:
"It Is an attempt to 4 for the women
of th United States what the Rhodca
cholarahlps are doing for the men.' .
The ecliem Involves an outlay of
several million dollars, aa It la proposed
to take ! ' young women from the
T'ntted State and give them a two or
three year' rouraa at some of the great
)!. unlverelllea. Toward raising
this fund Mrs. Olrne confess- that
the Society of American Women In Loa
n enuld d but little, but she aays:'
W pcl great raauita frum the
cooperation tha General Federation of
Women duns at Ita next conference.
There w ar going to appeal to the
educational committee to aak each atate
to contribute aufnclent funda to enable
each to provide In perpetuity for either
the two or three-year courae."
Th 1(0 American women who form
this Engllah aoclety think they may
Doaaibly be able to raise funda suffi
clent to educate one girl from the lia-
trlct of Columbia, but the greatest In
ducement they offer la that tha yeung
women will hapom honorary members
of the English, society and, while re
ceiving their education, . will have the
benefit of this prestige end chaperon xa
It hardly aeema possible that with
Mrs. Decker's practical aense the time
of . the biennial meeting will be' wanted
In discussing a proposition Ilka thla
In every atate there are hundreds of de
serving young women eager to get an
education, even in tneir own stats uni
versities, -who would bo quite willing
even to be put In th wsy of sarnlng
this education and would obligate them
selves to psy back a loan if It could
be gotten, so thst with theae conditions
existing it Is hardly . likely that th
clubs of th country would b wining
to contribute toward giving already
wall educated women the advantage of
foreign travel and a foreign unlveralty
education. . . - -
it will be . a aueatlon. however, that
will be brought np and it would b well
for any who fnay have in mind at
tending th biennial to be prepared for
It Any action the national body . might
take would not. of course, be binding
upon states, but it would do no harm
to enter a good hearty protest In time.

has nothing further to report than tha
distribution of tha civil service reform
pamphlets furnished free of charge by
tha Maaaachusetta Women' auxiliary
to tha Civil Service Reform association.
In eastern Oregon 100 copies were dis
