STUDIES PREFERRED
BY COLLEGE GIRLS
What Course Radcliffe Students Elect—Popularity
of the Severer Pursuits—Economics English
and Astronomy in High Favor—Girls Re-
main Truly Feminine Withal.
Cambridge Mass. March I.—More
chaugea than are generally realised
have enme In the typical American
Kiri with the disappearance of the
'•sweet sentimentalist" of the 'so’a
and 'Go's and the stepping forth in
her stead of the sturdy self-reliant
"Twentieth Century maid." They are
changes in tastes and habit of mind
that make mere lasting impression
than even the extraordinary feminine
interest today in outdoor life and
other wholesome living as they arc
Judged by modern standards.
Perhaps tb.s development is most
plainly to be seen tn that special type
that has come into being in the last
thirty years Of so—the college girl.
She fairly repiosvnts the very con-
ditions of life and social influence of
every part of the country and the
•trlK.ng thing about her is that while
she Is as truly feminine in the old-
fashioned sense as ever was Lydia
Languish in her day o r Ethel Now-
come in hers her interests are grow-
Ing more and more like those of her
brother. She seises with avidity on
all manner of serious things that only
a few years ago were thought entire-
ly outside her sphere and she enjoys
them not as a fad but because they
really attract her when ahe geta a
chance to understand them.
The contrasts between this gener-
ation and the two or three before can
be seen to such advantage nowhere
else perhaps as in Cambridge. There
Is a chance for direct comparison be-
tween the student bodies of Radcliffe
college where some 500 girls from all
over the country are studying under
university conditions and of Harvard
with which the woman's institution La
so closely affiliated as to be practically
one of its departments. There is
absolute freedom in choice of studies
at both colleges under the elective
system so that what a student in
either takes up is practically a met
ter of personal choice and the teach-
ers and their courses are the same in
both institutions.
it is not much of a surprise to find
that literature and the languages are
favorites among girls they always
have been particularly modern lan-
guages. The university study of Eng
llsh would not be thought to appeal
as strongly to women great novel
readers as they are as to men; yet
comparison shows that a larger num-
ber of girls in proportion than of men
devote themselves to it- Perhaps
that is why so many former Radcliffe
girls have made themselves known in
recent years as writers of books or
plays—girls like Beulah Marie Dix.
Carrie A. Harper Josephine Preston
Peabody. Helen Leah Read and Ab
by Farwell Brown.
What la less expected however is
that the twentieth century American
girl find) a fascination in economics
much more practical than it sounds
and not nearly so terrifying; that gov
ernment history chemistry and even
some branches of mathematics partic-
ularly those relating to astronomy ap
peal to her more strongly than music
or the fine arts which used to play an
important part in the "finishing
school" education to which college
training han succeeded. True the
courses in the musical departments
have grown in popularity in the last
few years and a considerable number
of young composers have developed.
The dinging and instrumental clubs
too. are among the most delightful stu-
dent organizations and considerable
very creditable work has been done
in writing and producing original op-
erettas some of which have even al
tafned wide reputation and more than
one girl has gone Into the profession-
al composition so to call it But in
spite of this growth music has as yet
somewhat less influence in the wom-
en's college than in Harvard.
Singularly the flne arts though
courses in the history of-art are well
attended are on the whole much less
popular with R&dcliffe girls than with
the men students a fact which la an
exact reversal of what one would im-
agine to be the case. Perhaps the im-
portance of architect lure as a profes-
sion for men is responsible for the
greater vogue of drawing classes at
Harvard.
Philosophy also which “mere man”
has always considered hi« own special
field too broad and indefinite in Its
bounds for "mere women." comes in
for a surprising share of attention. It
was to philosophy that Helen Keller
the remarkable blind child who gradu-
ated here last June devoted a consid-
erable proportion of her time finding
SAN ANTONIO DAILY IaIOHT SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. MONDAY. MARCH 6. t<x>s.
in its speculative side she saye the
greatest interest of all her work.
Women's work in astronomy the
most abtnise of all the acienc.es and
the most exacting in the accuracy of
observation it requires is becoming
better known every day Perhapa more
serious work in thia line of study is
done here than in most girls’ colleges
because of the opportunities at Har-
vard obaervatory but everywhere as-
tronomical courses are well
and it may be that the sense of mys-
tery that goes with the study of the
stain has a special allurement tor the
feminine mind.
To be sure the influences under
which a girl lays out her college
course arc a great deal different In
most cases from those that affect
a young man. Conditions are chang-
ing rapidly in regard to this but there
still lingers not a little of the old-
fashioned prejudice that has either
been responsible for the limited scope
of study afforded girls in most places
or has resulted from those limitations.
There are still traces of the Idea that
Greek is not a womanly atudy al-
though Latin is a perfectly proper
one; perhapa the explanation la that
mothers and older slaters did not read
Homer and Aristophanes and there-
fore see no use in them for the pres-
ent generation of atudenta. Physics
on the other hand seems to be
neglected simply from lack of attrac-
tiveness. though the equipment for its
study is of the best and the oppor-
tunities for research are unusual for
the facilitiea of Harvard are at the
disposal of advanced students in this
as in other departments.
Some teachers of the college girl
think tradition must have extended
its influence even to the work she
does in the preparatory schools and
naturally that make* a great differ-
ence in what she takes up for college
studies in the past so many girls
have not made up their minds that
they really want to go to college until
they reach the age when they ought
to be entering and then have found
themselves unprepared that a move-
ment is now on foot to get them to
decide definitely when they enter high
school say. whether they will go be-
yond what is offered there or will con-
sider their education finished when
they take their diplomas.
The consideration of what is to
come after graduation which girls
have begun to look at in a new light
> since women have taken up so large
a share of the work of the world
makes much difference in the choice
of studies. College women every year
have a more professional attitude to-
ward their work than formerly and
look forward to sticking at it through
a life-time. The furthest a girl went
until recently. In shaping her course
with reference to her after life was
generally to prepare more or less for
teaching.
I'he young woman who wa* grad-
uated with honors in English or class
les or what-not made just so much
more desirable a candidate for an in-
structorship In a "secondary school.”
As the profession of teaching became
specialized she gave a large share of
her four years to some particular
branch of study in which she expected
to find her life work. But a new atti-
tude of mind It already apparent and
has not a little to do with the newest
phase of the up-to-date girl.
Th s young American is beginning
to see the opportunities she has In
the great variety of a university
course to fit herself for one or an-
other of the professions women Pre
finding places in nowadays. With the
realization that a woman may be Just
as good an industrial chemist as a
man and may find just as good em-
ployment the popularity of chemistry
has risen by leaps and bounds. As it
has appeared that scientists are as
ready to accept a woman's wort as a
man's provided it is equally good
mathematics botany geology astrono-
my even seemingly uninspiring phy-
sics have taken a much more promi-
nent place than they used to hold
though it still seems true that the
average girl has no great fondness
fo- so-called higher mathematics.
Specialisation and research work
which are doing so much in the
world's progress open great fields to
women. Their Infinite patience scru-
puleuaneM methodical nature and
persistence and their Intangible "In-
stinct” and "feeling.” form an equip-
ment that few men possess however
well they may be trained. These are
the qualities that have made women in-
dispensable In business and they are
rapidly making hep just as indipensa-
ble in some of the practical profes-
sions so to call them. Certilnly the
important work women are doing in
the sociological enterprises of nearly
al! big American cities has created
the present demand for adequate
courses in government and law psy-
chology ethics and even some
branches cf economics In the more
old-fashioned sense.

An exciting scene occurred In the
house of representatives when Con-
gressman William R. Hearst of New
York charged Congressman John A.
Sullivan of Massachusetts with being
a homicide. A newspaper owned by
Representative Hearst bad attacked
Mr. Sullivan and the latter replied in
a speech In the bouse which bristled
with sharp and cutting remarks. Mr.
Hearst retorted by denouncing bls op-
ponent as one who had assisted in
"kicking a man to death in a saloon."

curred to wblch Mr. Hearst referred.
Sullivan's father kept a small hotel to
which a bar was attached. A former
prize fighter who was Intoxicated tried
early one Sunday morning to enter the
bar. On being refused admittance a
scuffle with the elder Sullivan eusueij.
Voting Sullivan went to bla father's
aid nnd the pugilist was driven off.
Several days afterward he died. A
grand jury brought In an Indictment
for manslaughter against both father
and son. nnd the former waa sent to
the penitentiary. The non was re-
leased on account of bls youth and the
circumstances tn which he took part
in the fight. After the father had been
in prison fcr a year and a half It was
alleged that the pugilist did not die
from injuries received nt the hands of
the Sullivans. The Imprisoned inbn
was thereupon pardoned. Representa-
tive Sullivan says he did nothing lie
would not do over again under the
same circumstances.
Representative John Jacob Esch of
Wisconsin bas had the honor of giving
his name in connection with Mr. Tow'r

tant measure passed la congress dur-
ing the present session the Esch-Town-
send bill for regulating railroad freight
rates. He Is a member of the commit-
tee on Interstate and foreign commerce
wblch was charged with drafting a bill
on this subject for
presentation to the
full house. The
