I’rof. O. C. Weber of the Chamber of Commerce, in a lecture last Tuesday evening, declared that, according to laboratory tests made by noted psychologists, men are more intelligent than women. lie said that women are superior In matters of memory, but that this does not neces sarily show ingenuity or Intelligence for the women. Claim is made that women make poor jurists, that they are swayed by their emotions, and inferior as to physical work. Men and women are not alike men tally. It's all wrong to judge men and women by the same standards, these standards that set forth that there are no female Shakespeares, Hantes, Newtons, Pteinmetx, or Bee thovens. If there be some of these, then those who sit on the judge's bench *«y these few women should have been born men. But all this Is only judgment set forth by men's standards. If the whole question were reversed, and some of the great and near great men were to be measured h,v the ideals of feminine perfection the men would be in for their share of criticism. If there were great men in woman's field we would find the number very small. The truly great women are silent about their achievements. They have no buildings erected In their honor or statues in the parks. Man's greatness Is all recorded on earth but an equally great woman has a writ ten history elsewhere. A woman who fulfills the standards of womanhood Is great. It is the woman who has taken up masculine profession who is brought to these comparisons of greatness, as to Intellectual ability.
