Of the American woman who has
just "dazzled" London it is saifl : "On
her head blazedan empire tiara ol
enormous emeralds and diamonds , and

The young woman who told her two
admirers to fight for her affection , and
then stood calmly by with a "gentle
man friend" and watched them batter
each other into insensibility , gave them
a further object lesson in the varia
tion of the feminine impulse when she
walked away to be married to the
friend. .And yet there are those who
contend that the sex is downtrodden
and at the mercy of the tyrant man.
It may as well be admitted that col
lege training doesn't teach a man to
keep books or to sell goods. What
education aims to do is to educate
to develop the man , to awaken him to
the problems of the world , to widen
his horizon. There is no danger that
not enough attention shall be given to
commercial development. But there is
a possibility that the business man
may become narrowed to his task and
fail to take an Interest in the world
of ideas about him. Education ought
not to prevent a man from acquiring
the necessary details of business. And
it ought to make him a more valuable
citizen. That most successful business
men believe this is shown by the fact
that they are sending their sons to
college.
Within a few years a pretty practice
aas sprung up in some of the public
schools. It was started by a teacher
who had spent her vacation in another
country , and with the very American
desire to "talk shop , " had visited the
schools there. She found that the pu
pils whom she visited were always
glad to hear about her own pupils at
home , and when she returned she dis
covered that her own little flock was
just as eager to learn about their
cousins across the water. People who
are anxious to meet need only an in
troduction. The teacher furnished it ,
and correspondence began. Since the
story of the first experiment was told.
In the educational journals , other
schools have stepped into line. There
is now a large number of communi
ties which keep in close relation to
life in town thousands of miles ai\.iy
by the medium of letters which pass
between school children who have
never seen each other , yet are close
friends. A girls' school in Honolulu
receives by almost every mail steamer
a bunch of letters from the pupils o.
a girts' school in Chicago. The de
lights of coasting and skating are set
beside those of riding the surf board.
Taro roots are exchanged for wheat ,
and altogether a broadening of the
mind , and better still , a widening of
the sympathies , Is taking place , and
this is a good part of education , wheth
er the pupil liv.e in Honolulu or Chi
cago. When we are all provided with
wireless telegraph Instruments we
shall cli-k messages into the air and
receive answers from unknown friends
whose instruments are "synchronous"
with ours. The school children are
doing the same thing. Their friendly
messages find many hearts which are
turned to their ewr. .
