THE NEW EDUCATION.

The new education for girls has no quarrel with men, but it leaves them to make their own arrangements. It cld'es not undertake to provide wives for them. It bothers with men very little. It's aim is to turn out giris so far developed mentally, and so trained and instructed, that they can i ,ake their own choices in the world, can earn their own livings if they wish or if they must, can take a man if one that suits them offers, can I turn .-ill men away for so long as they wiJI, and still) contrive for . themselves a life of activity and employment. The new education aims to give to girls such an equipment as will lelieve them of the need to marry for a living. That is no more than to start them on the same level with the men, and .that is no more than fair. A man that must marry for supoprt is rated as a„ pitiable figure. A young woman who must marry for support is not in so much better a case as we have been used to think. For support that one buys with one's life is dear bought', and should be a good article, and everyone knows that famine prices are high, aud that who would make good bargains must see to it not to be pinched by need. This, at anvrata, is how E. S. Martin puts the matter in "Harper's Magazine."
