Putting Bur
Ideas dens on Girls
By ELEANOR C. MARSH. Los Andeles. Cal.
F my daughter is bitten by the matrimony bug at the age of 17 1 shall
sigh for the days, the good old days, when the parents of refractory
maidens were wont to shut them into their rooms to think over their
foolishness on bread and water. That is the course I should like to
pursue, but, living as I do in these days, when the new commandment,
"Parents, obey your children," has geen given unto us, I shall probably not"
be allowed any "say" in the matter at all. Still, like little Mary, "I can't
help finkin'," and here are some of my "foughts."
Is a girl of seventeen old enough to marry? Well, just think of the
seventeen-year-olds of your acquaintance---little giggly, gushy high school
girls, immature in body, mind and soul. Think of marrying one of them!
Think of being married to one of them!
A girl of seventeen hasn't a thought of any one but herself. Her
pompadour, her complexion, her figure, her character (with a capital C, if
you please), constitute her sole interests in life. This is all very natural.
Youth is inevitably selfish and self-centered. I am not criticising Miss
Seventeen; I am only protesting against piling the burdens of wifehood
and motherhood upon her slender young shoulders.
Don't, don't force the child into premature womanhood as a careless
hand pressesa open a rosebud. Such a blossom is always blighted and
withers much sooner than the bud which blooms naturally. Let the girl
grow into womanhood before she assumes its obligations.
The wife at seventeen is usually a middle-aged woman at twenty-five,
while her sister who has remained single until that age is still in her lovely
girlhood, and at thirty-five will be no older than the early married woman
at twenty-five.
The girl at twenty-five hard and cynical! The cynical ones at that
age are the married women who have outlived their illusions and seen their
idols decay. If by sheer luck the young wife has chosen a good'huslbnd,
the wifely duties so early assumed will have aged her far more than if she
had been prepared for them.
But she is much less apt to get a good husband
than her twenty-five-year-old sister. Usually he will
be only a boy, with no more capacity to bear and for
bear than she. Friction between them will be more
frequent and neither will understand how either to t
meet or avoid it. A pitifully large number of early
marriages end in the divorce courts, while those who
defer marriage until twenty-five or over are usually
married for life.
At twenty-five a woman doesn't accept her suitor
because he has "lovely eyes" or a Grecian nose, but be
cause he is a man of honor, of high principles and
ideas, who will be a good husband and father. For
corresponding reasons he loves her, and their love
founded upon such a rock endures.
To those who contemplate a season of I
"roughing it" I would say that elaborate
Faithful camping outfits and preparations defeat
the very ends sougbt. If one camps out
O ffice for pleasure, the pleasure may reasonably
be supposed to consist in the differences
W orker between camp life and living luxuriously
Often at home. The joy of roughing it, to me, is
in reducing life to its simplest terms and
Passed By pitting human resources and ingenuity
against primitive conditions.
By A. RMslsm, New T lrk This is the camp equipment my "part
ner" and I used to take in frequent expe
ditions: A blanket and poncho for bed
ding and shelter; for tools, a hand ax and a moderately heavy jack-knife.
Weapons, a shotgun, with shells adapted to various kinds of game, and a
small caliber rifle for "sportsmanlike" hunting of squirrels, and such
b "small deer." Our larder contained salt pork, corn meal, sugar, beans and
occasionally dried apricots. Two pipes and plenty of tobacco completed
our outfit.
For the delicacies of the table we depended upon what we could catch
or kill and it was an unwritten law that we should not kill more than we
could use from day to day, leaving the "big game" until we were about
ready to return to town, when we could take that with us for gifts. To
live well and comfortable we had to hunt close and work hard. Sometimes
we built a shack that would house us against the roughest weather.
These expeditions were achievements in that they brought our facili
ties in triumphant conflict with elemental conditions and with few of the
tools of civilization to aid.
The indictment that college graduates
do not make desirable farm help because of
u t ttheir indolence and indifference to their
S to work, brought by the New York 8tart
Co lee department of agriculture, is not a fair one.
College men who are lazy and indifferent
M en about work on a farm would be lazy anad
As indifferent about their work in any other
vocation. If the New York department of
. ~ agriculture has found lazy and incompe
tent men among university graduates, it
Iyjp.il.PsU.. should be charged against them as individ
uahl--not: against the fact that they are
college graduates.
The employe on the farm who would play the mandolin or rest in the
shade during the hours he should be at work, would watch the clock anad
soldier on the job wherever he might be--even though it inight be in
mahogany-furnished offices. Undoubtedly such men "cut" clauses when
students and me a "pony" to assist them in their translations. They are
simply 50-cent boys into which hopeful parents are trying to cram a $8,000
education. It isn't the fault of the education if it can't be done.
The number of college men who are making a success of farming is
much larger than the layman thinks. In fact, the awricltural districts of
the richest portions of our country are filled with college men
Hood River, Oregon, distinctly a fruit-growing community, has more
Scollege men in proportion to the total number of inhabitants than any
* other community in this country.
