Motherhood
Greatest Career
for Women
By ICLLA WHEF.LK.R WILCOX.

Here la an Interesting letter that comes
all the way from New Brunswick. It la
from a woman, and she aaya:
Through tha wrong-headed Ideas In
culcated In my youth I have nude an
awful mesa of my life and nearly ruined
toy husband's life, but at last we have
Won back our Eden. When I was a little
Ctrl I ueed to dream of my children. I
planned that my first little Kir I waa to
b named Alison, and I panned many
Jiappy houra thinking how I would dreaa
bar and care for her.
'1 married at n. I wat then studying
at an art school and my parenta objected
i to my marrying, as they desired me to
I liars a 'career,' but as my health broke
' down In ths school they finally gave con
stant to have me leave and I waa married.
Z was Ignorant and Innocent and my
parents were so unwise In their ideas of
tlfs that they considered it Improper for
ma to visit a young married friend who
I nourished her baby In nature's way. They
I thought It an 'Indecent' thing for ma to
"When I was expecting my first child
I waa in a state of rapture. But a a soon
aa my condition became known my
friends regarded It aa a calamity; my
mother waa angry and my mother-in-law
said It waa a pity. I tried to apeak
of my happiness, but, no one would listen.
But I found a number who were anxious
to discuss morbid, unwholesome and dis
tressing conditions with me.
"When my second child cams there waa
a great uproar. My husband and myself
had to make apologies. Tha opinions of
my friends pressed upon ma, embittering
and spoiling my Joy. My husband grew
to dislike ths atmoaphera of our home
and I was far too nervous to make a
pood wife.
"Wi lived In sorrow for many years,
'but gradually cams to a simpler, truer
Understanding of lire. In my heart I am
so happy in my new-found womanliness,
and I am writing to tell you that many
things I have seen in this column have
helped to strengthen me. I have found
It very hard to be a real woman in these
flays. I get very angry when I see how
E wasted my anergics and vitality at the
rt school.
Mr relatives talked of my 'glff and
I lowed me to waste my inheritance of
health before I knew ita value. Then
when I wanted to be happy with the real
Iglft of motherhood they made It ao diffi
cult for me. My little dream-child. All
ton. Instead of being my first child, waa
Juy fifth. She beara that name.
"I would like to know why a girl of 17
in not old enough to decide for herself
kvhether shs will train for a career In
(which she has little chance for real suc
gess, or for the career of wifehood and
Snotherhood toward which her whole na
ture turns.
"It seems to me the tendency of ths
Eay is away from nature's method, don't
ou think so?"
Ths writer of ths letter explains also
hat ahe waa allowed to marrr without
roper knowledge of what wifehood and
otherhood mean. Ths world la full or
recks which have resulted from this
Ind of wrong education by stupid or
bjelflsh parents.
It cannot be laid to the fault of ths
modern Idea of progress that girls ars
not taught mors on the subject of wife
hood and maternity, because in the days
bf our grandmothers ths sams conditions
prevailed.
Girls were, to be sure, taught to be
pood housekeepers, cooks and seam
itresses, but the vital problems relating
to marriage and maternity were kept
trom them until they faced them.
Children were, perhaps, more "fash
ionable" In those daya than they are
now, but an understanding of tha rare,
ihe feeding, the dressing of new-born
;hlldren. or an understanding of prenatal
In
Dl
nfluences are mors familiar to young
t'omen today than they were in ths
Iden days.
All tha progressive ideas of all the
centuries can never change the laws of
life and substitute any career for women
which is so wonderful, so beautiful, so
freat as motherhood, when it is under
itood and appreciated and desired.

Staying "in College a
Problem jor Youngsters
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
President of Brown Vnlveriatv.
Thouaanda of young people ars asking:
"Can I set into colleger It would be
well for them to ask: "Wll I be able to
stay in college after I get there?"
About X per cent of thoae who enter
each year drop out before they are
graduated. In aoms small, compact col
leges only 10 per cent drop out.
In large, loosely knit inatltutona some
times 60 per cent disappear before the
coveted diploma la reached. They enter
college full of life and hope, and they
fall out baffled and dejected. Why is
this?
It may be for excellent or unavoid
able causes. It may be because of ill
health or financial disaster or the pres
sure Of home obligations. It may also
be because of pernicious friendships or
falss Ideals formed In the freshman year.
It may be because the college itself neg
lects ths individual student and leaves
him to sink or swim alone.
But the chief trouble ia that the average
boy ia not "prepared" for college. He
doea not stay in college because he haa
no staying power, no capacity for atten
tion, no ability to concentrate.
I met in the college library a atudent
from one of our beat New England fam
ilies, bending over a book, weary and
bored.
"How are you getting onT" I asked.
He answered: "How in the world doea
a man spend a whole hour looking at
one book? After ten minutes I find my
self looking out of the window!"
"How old are your'
"Nineteen."
"Nineteen and cannot conoentrate for
ons hour?" You ought to have learned
that." I eald, "when you wers 13 yea re
of aa-e."
Boon after he "dropped out" and is
now wandering over New England look
ing for a Job where success can be won
without attention and there la no such
Job.
The trouble with many boya when they
enter college is not that they have bad
habits, but that they have no habita at
all. Not that they are going wrong, but
that they are not going anywhere.
They are versatile, attractive and aim
less. They are dlatracted mtnda, bundles of
scattered energies.
TUey know a hundred things on tha
surfaee, nothing down to the roots.
They have ten times as much informa
tion as their father had at the same
age, and yet do not know ths meaning
of work.
They can tell the name of svery auto
mobile that whlsses past ths front door.
.but cannot solve any problem that de
mands twenty minutes of honest think
ln.
They are charming young fellows to
know, but nearly useless In any college
or any business office.

They are not "self-startera;" they must
be cranked constantly by aome employer
or teacher, or they cannot move.
It would be an immense gain to Amer
ican colleges it about one-quarter of the
students now in them would Immedi
ately be excluded and their places filled
with the eager outsiders who are longing
for a chance to study but who la wise
enough to select the men that are not
worth while? We shall have to depend
on the clumsy examination system for
a long time to come.
But two things ws can do. We can re
mind every one who wants to enter col
lege that "preparedness" is vastly more
than cramming down the languages and
mathemaUca.
To be prepared means to have acquired
a real ambition. It means the power to
say "no" to foolish things snd "yes" to
the big things of life.
It means to possess a backbone that la
more than a "chocolate eclair." It
means getting done with "klddlshnesa"
and resolving to play ths man. He who
la at 111 a child In fickle purpose and
flabby will should stsy out of the col
lege which will treat him as a man.
The other thing we can do la to insist
that the college Itself shall take better
care of the freshmen. AH the colleges
are now waking up to the waate and
wreckage of the freshman year. In dif
ferent ways we are all attacking ths
sams problem.
At Harvard the remedy la offered
through freshman dormitories, practi
cally segregating the freshman class. At
Princeton the remedy la found in a sys
tem of preceptors, each one having a
aquad of five or alx students under his
personal guidance.
At Amherst it is proposed to open to
the freshman courses In economics,
which will lad them out of the 'prep.
school studies" Into the discussion of the
fundamental problems of modern so
ciety. At Brown we shall require all new
students thla year to take a course of
one hour a week in what we call tha
'orientation of freshmen" instruction In
the origin and purpose of the American
college, the meaning and value of the
different departments and studies, stu
dent standards of honor, the use and
abuse of fraternities, student activities,
etc.
Thus we are all trying In different
waya to aave students from blind grop
ing, stumbling snd dropping out. But
we can not save them unless they want
to be ssved. i
Ferns pe 3).ono young peopls entered our
colleges in September, to write after
their names ths magic figures, " '13."
Borne of them will be out of college
again in January. "Can I get in?" That
la not tha real question. The queatlon
to be asked now Is: "Can I stsy? Csn I
survive ths sifting process and prove
that I was worth educating."

Dear Miss Fa'rfax; I am lo and at
tending hlnh achool. Only last month 1
thouulit i waa the happiest glr in the
world, but I was told by a physician I
hail a weiik heart. 1 have an ambition
to write and have bean ativcessful with
four or five short stories and playa. I
expected to attend college. Now I see
I can't, because of my heart. 1 try not
to worry. Can't you please tell me vhat
to do? LNHAPPV OIHL.
My dsar child, there Is no r-sson on
earth why a alight affection of the heart,
or even a vary serious one for that mil.
ter, should prove fstsl. For the present
why not make your ambition center
about strengthening yourself and re
gaining your health. Both overwork anl
worry are bad for you. With care you
will probably be able to overcame what
ever difficulty thre may be, and In
time you wilt undoubtedly bs able to go
on with the work. It la splendid that at
your youthful age you have already mads
a atart In writing. Now devote your
common aense and talent to freeing your
self from worry and recovering health
and men'al poise.
