THE MODERN GIRL
Preaching at the anniversary scrvicc of the Girls' Friendly Society at bt. Paul's Cathedral, London, the Bishop ot Edinburgh said that the most experienced worker present, who could remember 25 or 30 years ago, would at once agreo that the present outlook for gins had changed in a remarkable aegree. Every avenuo of knowledge, both ioi bad as well as good, was open to girls almost from their infancy. Their narural curiosity was unduly stimulated, even in tender years, by what they 6aw and heard, 'l'heir modesty was coarsened as they grew up by what they read in suggestive stories, and their sense oi delicacy was hardened by sights tliej saw in homes where privacy was unknown. Our lcinenms completed the mischief tlm.t had been begun, even before tliev were ten jenrs of age, and, crowd<ml together us they were iu lflrgo sc.ioois, os-it was readily coinmunicatod and vntue was honeycombed with vico even before it was known-. This, widespread lnxily of morals was combined with a distressing independence.
