PRACTICAL WORK OP THE ASSOCIATION. One important practical achievement of the as- sociation has been to set at rest arguments against higher education for women on the ground that they were physically unabie to stand tne severe strain of college training. ‘The work of the asso- ciation in the matter of physical education is of general interest and has attracted wide attention. Some of the resuits of the inquiries made have been published recently in THE Stax. In 1882 sta Ustics on this subject were collected by a special coramittee Of the association, with Mrs, Annie Howes Barus, now of this city, as chairman, Se lecting twelve of the colleges having the largest number Of women students, the committee ad- dressed to the graduates of each of these a circu. lar, including very minute inquiries as to their physical condition before, during, and after their Ca Of those to whom the circulars were | sent 705 answered, being 54.65 per cent, and their | answers tabulated and “published by Col. Carroll | D. Wright, then of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics.’ The range of age covered by the sta- Ustics was so great as to include one Woman Of seventy-six, a graduate of Oberlin, ‘The result was to show that the health of over | three-fourths of these 700 college graduates has | been elther “excellent” or “good” during their | Whole lives, some of them losing 1n health at col- | lege and an equal number gaining; that about one-fourth of them are marri their average age being but 28, and that of their children the greater part are living and in good health, The general conclusion Was that the women who lave graduated from college “do not seem to show any marked difference in general health from the average health likely to be reported by any equal number ot women employed in other ids of work, or in fact of women generally, with- out regard to occupation followed.” GIRLS IN PREPARATORY SCHOOL. Following out the line of investigation thas be- | gun, it was concluded that suMficient attention was not paidto the physical education of girls in the prepatory schools, and on this subject a num- ber of interesting papers have been published, in- cluding one by Miss Lydia M. Dame, assistant riuctpal of the Washington High School, based jargely on her observations among the girls of the Hizh School, In this paper an effort was made to insiitute a reform in the matter of hasty or in- ‘sufficient meals, in exercise, and in other matters: relating to the healtii of school girls. ‘This subject, however, represents only a part of the work of tie association. | Among other things done during the past. year has been the establish- ment of a bureau of collegiate information, de- signed to collect and circulate specific and’ de- lied information regardiug various colleges. Many topics of a practical character have been treated in papers prepared by different members, THE OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN. ‘The Washington branch has been studying the several departments of woman’s work in the hope of being able, at some time, to offer to women seeking employment a brief but comprehensive treatise, Wherein they may learn the advantages and disadvantages of each occupation, the talent and training required for success, and the prob- able remuneration, Reports on,the following oc- cupations ior Women have been presented: Archi- tecture, Miss L.
