THE COLLEGE
THE women, colleges are calling
: attention to ' the fact that - the .
' higher education of girls appears
to he a apeclfio for domeatio mis- ,
ery. The. records of Vassar ool
lege show that not a single graduaU of
that institution ha. ever figured la the
divorce courts, while the other women
colleges, make almost aa good a show
ing, the number of divorce, among their
alumnae being almost negligible.
' Thia should settle the ancient fallacy
that to' give a girl a good education un
fitted her to be a wife, for these statis
tics certainly . Indicate that If the col
lege girl doea not marry aa frequently
aa her al.tera, aha stay, married more
often. - v . . . -
Many explanation, may be offered for
this phenomena. The most obvious, of
. courM, I iut w., ..... vu
power of the college woman 1. better
fitted to aolve the domestic problem
than the . undisciplined mind of ihe
noorlr educated woman, and that there
fore .he can more successfully guard :
against the conditions arising that lead
to qivorce. . !.".;,--,

her opinions. He would have to listen

Therefore he marries little . Fluffy
Ruffles, who sits at his feet before they
are married, and hurls flattery at him
with a shovel and tells him how great

after they are married quarrels with

The man who deliberately picks out a
. college woman for a wife is not a con
ceited fool who marries to get a woman
to minister to his egotism. Neither does
he expect his wife to be a slave or a
plaything. He marries to get a com
panion. He treats his wife as an equal.
He is broadminded, and tolerant and lib

could live peaceably with the sort of a
husband that the college woman gets. ,
At any rate the showing of -the

favor of the higher education of women.
It makes the college girl the preferred
