ing him all he may become. The
proper meaning of the word edu

training up, as vines are trained

of what is stronger than them
selves.- Spalding.

As long as women workers stop
work at marriage they willcontain
ue to be, as a class, low-paid, over
worked, unskilled, looking only to
the day and never to the future,
entering industry casually without
training, retiring from it unexpect
edly without warning, hard to or
ganize into trade unions, hard to
interest in technical improve
ments, hard to inspire with finan
cial ambition, behaving, in every
respect, with the utmost good
sense, just exactly in the manner
in which any class of admittedly
and consciously temporary work
ers should behave. It is hard to
believe that such a situation can
be right either for women or for
industry, The women lose op
portunities. Industry loses abili
ties.—Everybody's,
