WI1V AND WHAT?
The Iu.lt claa. L'mJilaf A I nr. All.-inv lil
lege numbered twelve, ten young ladies im!
iwo young men. In tbo present Senior
clan the proportion i ueirly t"-e am.
five tj one. Why this deroinancy in num
uersi" Are the young huliei more ucxious
to have a college dlplunm than the young
menr nave luey more courage in under
taking and accomplishing the liarJ work
necessary to graduation ? Have they a high
er appreciation vi i"0 vmuo or n college
education? Or do their parents show
partiality by giving their daughters great
er educational advantages than their sens?
Jt is possible that young men sometimes are
deprived of a college education l.y having
to help secure the means for the gradua
tion of their sisters; but a case of this kind
has never come under mv nl;nriMtin.. 1
have known brothers to help in securing an
education fr their sisters, and vice versa:
bat neither were themselves thereby pre
vented from graduation, if they wished to
be the owners of a college diploma. I do
not, therefore, believe th:it tlt mrHailiv
of parents will nccount for tho discrepancy
in mo last gruiluaieJ cuss and t,io one to
be graduated next June.
It might possibly bo accounted izr iu an
other way. I have heard of families in
which there were ten daughters and two
sons. If all the families patronizing; the
college ill average five girls to one boy,
tin discrepancy may thus le accounted for
without much difficulty. Hut the question
is, will they do it? I am not sufticiently
familiar with the gender statistics of na
tive Oregonians to answer this question.
I ni very much inclined to tie opinion,
however, that tl-e stato is not sufficiently
ruelliferous to account for the discrepancy
under consideration, and that o will have
to look elsewhere for the solution, .Vhere,
then, shall we find it? I do not suppose
mat any one reason can bo given to ac
count for the discrepancy; but I am very
inucn inclined to .the belief that the prin
cieai reason is in the gender Itself. 1 nm
, sorry to take skies against my own sex,
but I do not see any other way of doing.
"When there is a will, there is a way," it
is said. Tho girls have tho will and find
the way to secure the desired college ed
ucation, even if they have to do it by their
cwn earnings.
And they, as a rule, on the Tacific Coast, J
. eom to have a higher appreciation of the
value of a college education ilim !.,.
They know that in all the great enterprises
of the age in which they live a well dis
ciplined mind is a power, which will make
mem icauers in me onward movement of
the race; and hence their eagerness and
efforts for the attainment of this power
giving mental discipline. And thty see
too, that educated oiuen are coming more
ou more 10 mo iront, and that without ed
ucation they will not be able to bo in the
"van in the march of ad vanepinent.
What, then, is likely to be the outcome
of this de6ire and doternii
young ladies to secure 11 rnlleA n,liif..,i;no
It looks very much as if somebody would be
".II. i oung men who havo no ambition
to qualify themselves for positions which
i...i ... . .
i.-uu m uonor, wealth, and influence, will
e very nuely to secure such positions
iuere are already many of thera filled
young ladies, who do their work well and
to the satisfaction of their employers. Not
many years ago, lajy book-keepers were
widom seen in the counting room. Now
they are numbered by hundreds. And
any Ot lliem hav nmniniil:ile,l ll, t.,1,
to their own advantage, I havo failed to
urur oi li. iiiey arc eminently trustworthy
uieir employers sny, and do not spenii
more man their salary. And so it is
eery spuero ot labor. They prove them

them, and are not unficqucntly entering
" "cius oi labor. They are not confine
iu ine limits ot the school-room and petty
clerkships, but arc advancing into tho r...
gions beyond. They are becoming leaders
luuuiue moral and re igious movements
oi the day, and are making their influence
en in me eievition and advancement
me uuman race. Ami the timo may not
u. ir uisutnt, when their influence in the
Political world will bo felt as never before.
Already two states have granted them the
gm or simrage; and it is hard to tell how
soon other states m.n full ii i
female suffrage be extended over the whole
country. 1 Ins will, doubtless, depend
omemeanire, upon the results of the
I mivemrnt In Wyjming and Colorado. H
the Intelligent and influential women In
I these'states exercise the ilclit cranted
iu the purification el corruption in high
places, anJ in the breaking up of political
rings, the day may not be far distant, when
woman, influence at Ilia linl'n..hr u-;:i 1..
felt from Maine to Oregon, and bom Canada
to tue Hull of Mexico,
I am not advocating woman's rieht.
am onlv BDealiine of ihe cnutr of vnt in
the past and trcscnt.and like Patrick lUnrv
judging of the future from the past, From
the days of Adorn down to the present time
woman's Influence has been evervwhrr fli
in the world, but nowhere more than in the
United Sta'es of Am:ricain this last rlee.nl. I
of the Nineteenth century uf tha Caiistlau
era. .Not mote than fifiy ears oco. it wa
:onfined chiefly to the family. Now It Is a
tremendous power in the church, in the
school room. Ihrouch I'm n:f.i In Ilia l. .
perance cause, aaJ In all the uuve.nents of
this progressive age. And the greattr the
mtntaj discipline and consequent cjuilili.-a-
uons o uomen lor anv si here if art inn
the greater her influence in all the onward
and upward movements of this j; ro 1 1 nation
aud the world. President Thwing, .il o has
made the tal j:ct a matter of special study
affirms that "a cullege-brcd man has two
..enured and fifty times 0j creat a nrob
ability of of attaining fame as the man who
has never attended Coliece." i hat is true
of men, in the mutter of education, is also
of woman, with this dillerence, that she has
fewer ciuipeUtO'-a. so far as. the cruduatra
ot Altany College mc co'r.ceined. If one
gradua'.o has as good a chance for the attain.
iiieai 011.-111: 03 anotlur, sho has the ad
vantage of hve to ons. What, then, are
the chances ol the vcun2 men ol Aibanv n-l.n
uiinK. tney do not need a colkge education
to enable tlnm toa'ta'n celebrity in the con
test for fame and high positions of honor
and influence la the commercial.! he'r .mf..tr.
ional, the literary, the political, or n,.
religious world? According to PiesI lent
Timings estimate, they nre few and far-be
tween. Uut iu his estimate of probabilities,
he did not take the female eraduates inin
consideration. On the Aloany College basis
tne young men have but one chance in fif.
teen handrcd(2;o?:6 nool. Tliln Is -e-:nln

who have any nsplratious for nromntinn
