Woman In Finland Is Hie tutelary god
dess of the land. She Ja everywhere re
spected as man's equal, and receives her
university degree with the lest of the stu
dents. ahouUlcr to ahuulder with men.
When the degrees are fclveu there Is u
great rejoicing; an en jrnioua . throng vv't
ners the proceeding, and perfect good fel
lowship exluts between the men and women
students, aa they are crow nod with their
bard-oarned laurels. The ceremony takes
place at tielalngfora, aud ia looked forward
to as the most Important event of the
year, .and the day Is one of rejoicing
throughout the city. After the students
havo been crowned and iineived their de
fcreea they take possession of the streets,
the siiudrcs and gardens or drive about
In t-iirrlanes singing college sjngs. At
eventide the students separate for their
various homes. Then the .fellows give
themselves up to the pralso of llacehus.
All tin: veteran students of th university
allow the same respect to the women stu
dents, unite as if In tlielr day coeducation
had been in vogi.e.
Finland Is a poor country; great wealth
is 'a rare thlni. the climate Is rigorous and
large cities are scarce and far apart. The
women cannot Indulge in the luxury of
Idlenesa. ami diversion, they do not enter
domestic service, hut the woman of good
birth and breeding (studies and strives to
make her own place In the world. AH
over Finland elementary education, or In
struction, Is found. There la no such thing
us a Finn Iu cannot read and write,
except the Lapps of the far north. In the
schools of the second grade there ar an
nually about lO.OUt scholars. 4.000 of whom
are glrla. The certificate from the lyceum
or high school,' as well as from the Insti
tute, stands a graduate Ip good stead if ne
Is looking for a government or commercial
position.
lllthrr F.dueatioaj.
In lKO. for the first time, a young woman
presented herself aa candidate to enter
the university. Fhe passed vttli high
honors the examinations. rut ahe came up
aralnsl laws that prevented her from en
tering the university, and It ' was onjy In
1RM thnt the university was freely opened
to women. In lr.O there were.l.sno stu
dents in the university, twenty of .whom
were women: today the university students
number Z.fms; among whom, there are too
women. They allure the aatue duties. , The
women are obliged to wear the aame white
student capa aa the men, showing whether
they are sophomores or "grads." . They
belong to the same clubs.
Finnish women havo been deeply Im
pressed with the liberal outlook that a
thorough university education gives; tliey
have realized the ower of a trained mind
and the moral and physical ohltgailons ot
life, and have shown an enormous capacity
for Intellectual work. Often the women
students manifest a deeper sense of the
benefits of their instruction than the men
students. Doubtless they lone ago accepted
that in many cases they must contribute
their work to the none, too wealthy family.
Condition lent themselves to the women's
victory in this struggle, and they knew
how to uae It. The men, at first hesitating
and Inert, accepted the. situation.
Positions of Trast.
Women as private employes have proved
themselves capable, conscientious and as
diligent workers as men. They receive a
smaller salary than men, and now they
have entered every branch of business. In
the large banks the greater number of
the employes are women. Women of dis
tinguished families often hold these posts
of trust. The telegraph and poatoffice po
sitions are held by women, and all the busi
ness concerns and shops are attended to
by women.
Everywhere In Finland one aeea women
; at work. Work considered honorable
I by all classes. In every part of the coun
try this holds true; among the poorer
claasea women work by hundreds In fac
torlea; in agriculture and on the roast the
business Is entirely In women's handa, as
the men spend their lives In navigation
and fishing. Women clear the land, pre
pare It for aeedlng, guide the plow and
make the harvests. I'nmarried and child
less women give their lives-U philan
thropic work of all kinds. The greater
part of the primary education ia In tl.i
charge of women, as well aa In the second
grade and private schools, and the normal
suhoola and those fur deficient children.
Women aj-e also employed as teachers In
the boys' gymnasiums maintained at the
expense of the treasury.
On at Footing; rrlth Meu.
Woman In Finland lias proved her busi
ness capacities to ho of the- highest qual
ity, therefore she is put on the same foot
ing with man, who respects her und her
work. In Finland u woman can enter uny
restaurant at any hour of night or day
without raising the-slightest disrespectful
comment. It Is the common custom of the
land. On the esplanade of I lelslngfors, the
principal boulevard of the city, groups of
students of both sexea greet each other, sit
and chat In the freest, most nutural way,
that qulln astounds the 1-atln races. Wom
an s rights havo been discussed In Fin
land, but the women of t lie land, perhaps
the only' ones in the world, have found the
secret of making facts and actions more
valuable than words by the maintenance
of tin) rights In an honorable way. A
strong society occupies lltelf especially in
helping the proiertyless and the Infirm all
ivnr the land. They have actively battled
against the sins of the northern lands,
alchohollsm and prostitution, and have es
tablished oilices of assistance for men and
women. These private labors to remedy
existing social evils where the public work
on the same ILnes is Insufficient, has been
the real struggle for higher Ideals, where
the Finnish women have been successful.
They have proved that a high atandard of
Ideals and honor ia lie a country to the
highest point of clvlllxatlon and well being.
It haa been by hard work that woman
has become man's eo,ual In the most Im
portant affairs of life in Finland. Ehe la

"nay find her In the senate.
One beautiful thlr.g that Impresses about
voman'a active business life In these north

American Machinery to ne Found In
Haisie as Well as C ivilised
Countries.
At this hour theie are hundreds of keen,
ahlo men the very pick of' commercial
travelers Journeying hi all the nations of
the earth, civilized, seml-i'lvillzed and sav
age. Introducing American agricultural Im
plements and machinery. They are tamp
ing In thatched huts on tho ('.ensely wooded
banks of the mighty Amanon: rolling In
ox wagons across the unending Pouth Afrl
con veldt; riding over the pampas pluins
of Argentina: traveling by pack train or
burro In Arctic Alaska, or the great Andes;
laboriously making their way throufiht the
Jungles of Sumatra and Java, and. In
short, penetrating; to the ends of the earth
to demonstrate to ail peoples how pre
eminent are American methods of agricul
ture, and how advantageous la tho use of
Yankee machinery and Implements of all
kinds.
You will find an American portable rail
road laid down at SendJIrll. In Assyria, to
facilitate the work of archaeological ex
cavation and the removal of debris, monu
ments, inscriptions and the Ilka. Or again,
away out In the back blocks of Australia,
one Is aitiaxed to come across an American
thrashing outfit, lumbering along with the
big traction engine in front, wlih an awn
ing over It to shelter the engineer froui
the ruuitlug sun.
For fifty years Anieiicau invention has
never stood still on the question of labor
saving machinery, but rather has its genius
multiplied until today Chicago binders and
reapers aro to be seen In Kuglnud and
In Hweden, In all parts of France, In out f
of-thc-way corners of Mexico, In Norway,
and In the vast corn fields of southern
Siberia, whero ono 1.1 drawn by teams of
enormous dromedaries, who double hump
and supercilious gait seem amazingly In
congruous when laken In conjunction Willi
the almost domestic nature of tlielr work.
In 'ndla the Chicago binders and reapers;
are drawn by the curious water buffaloes,
and In the countries of 'north Africa
Tripoli, Tunis, Algeria and Morocco It Is
no uncommon sight to conic across headers,
binders, mowers, self-dump hay rakes and
tedders, corn pickers and huskers, and a
hundred other American agricultural ap
pliances with every conceivable kind of
motive power, from the. traction engine to
the Arab fanner's wife and a donkey har
nessed patiently together!
It Is no wonder there should be this wide
dissemination, considering that one great
Chicago house employs an army of 2.5i
traveling salesmen, whose operations cover
twenty-nine separate and distinct nations,
taking in all tha Important grain and grass
growing territory in the known world.
