HE IS TO CUsY BRAGKI oF ms * ACHIEVEMENTS He Has Been Too Busy Bragging of HIS Achieve-| ments, and if Conceit Were Consumption There Would Be Only About Who Are Physically Sound. Three Men on Earth By Nixola Greeley-Smith. “Man's wisdorg was not wished on him in a day; it took centuries ond centuries to make him what he is now, and during all that time woman ;was taught to helieve him superior. How much more then, should he be willing to teach woman and develop what Uttle intellect (Uttle in hia opinion) there i# to develop! But te he? No! He te too busy bragging of Rte achievements, If concett were consumption, there would be adout three men on earth physically sound,” A caustic young woman who signs the name of the hour—Evelyn—to her} communication calls upon man to explain why he has not undertaken to overcome or, at any rate, to lessen woman's supposed inferiority of mind.. The obvious answer he will make {s, of course, that he has tried, but has discovered it to be ineradicable, As a matter of fact, man has never shown unwillingness to assist in the development of woman's intellect— the trouble is that he insists upon developing it one mind at a time. In other words, he is alwa; willing to concede that some one woman may be! approximately his equal—or at least may become so through teaching ana| association; but he has no confidence in the abilities of the others. I think’ {it was John Stuart Mill who observed that men are so limited in their observation of women that from @ man's opinion of womankind one may infer to a laughable degree what his Undoubtedly a man's wife com- stitutes his standard of feminine values. She fixes his idea of what ®@ woman normally should be, and all women whe surpass or who fall short of her special faculties are therefore assumed to be freaks. Undoubdtedly, too, men have shown @ preference through the ages for Uttie, soft, round women, with lit- tle, soft, round brains, and so have produced # human female that from constant selection is smaller physically and mentally than she @hould be or than she ever will be again. So long as one human being was con- stituted by church and society the ab- solute lord of another, it was very much easler for everybody concerned if the being in tutelawe was a tractable fool, It was hard on the offepring, of course, for it cut their intellectual in- nce in halves, bit nvbody thought of the offspring in those feudal times, WHEN AN INTELLECTUAL WoOM- AN WAS SUSPECTED. In Greece and Rome the noble ma- tron Was generally a docile dolt. If@ woman posseesed intellect she was as sumed to lack morals. In fact, through. out history man has preached morality unceasingly to woman, yet has ehown, his real contempt for it by assuming! that she could not be at the same time intelligent and good. Mearly every letter from a man upholdiag the inalienable intel- Jevtual superiority of his own sex throws poor wonian » bone im the moral pacemaker of man. The only diMioulty with the continu. ance of thia programme is that the pacemaker Lic at inut had the ime telligence to look behind her ouly to find herself al] alone, with not even a cloud of dust im the rear to indtoate that man is following, Letters from Evening World readers follow: MAN'S WISDOM WAS NOT WISHED ON HIM IN A DAY, Dear Madam: 't Is agreed ty all intelligent peopie that woman in the past has been more or pressed as far as any demonstration of intellectual ability Is concerned, and it is oniy lately that she has been given # ghost of a chance and has received a little recognition for what she ty actually worth, 4 do not delleve it has been hes. wife fs like. household duties that have held her back so much as the fact that it has been preached to her for ages and ages that man ts her superior and she was forced to accept h such. Now that she { and seen her trust misp! fuses to give her a chance, Man's wisdom was not wished on him in @ day; it took centuries and centuries to make him what he is now, and during all that time w was taught to believe him superior. How much more should he, in be- half of the country's welfare, be willing to teach woman and develop What Uttle intellect (in his opinion) there ts to develop! But is he? No! is too busy bragging of his achievements’and must have his do- ings mung before heaven and earth, he thinks there is something Wrong with the people. If conceit were consumption, there would be about three men on earth physically sound. Man has believed himself so much more brilliant than woman for such # long time that it ts ni hard for him to admit her ni to say nothing of his superior, could it be so? Why does he not wish to share his knowledge with her? Because know- ing woman posses undeveloped and uncultivated mental qualities, she would soon be his superior, and that would be a spite fence to him, who Is physically the strongest, In all fairness, woman should at jJeast be given @ chance, and if ah: fails, then let man proclaim from ¢ housetops, tf he ts justified in doing 80, that he is still the superior, Un- til then, however, !f he could do no better, man would be wiser to play the part of an innocent bystander.

Note broadly in the out- set, Shakespeare has no heroes—he has only heroines. ‘Then observe, secondly, the catastrophe of every play is caused always by the folly and fault of the redemption. if there is any, is by the wisdom and virtue of woman, and, falling that, there ts none."* Then Ruakin goes into detail about the particular plays and proves the truth of his contention in each case, ‘Then he takes up graver testimony— that of the great Italians and Greeks. “You know weil the of Dante's great poem--that It !s a love poem to his dead iady; @ song of Praise for her watch over his soul, He ts going eternally astray in de- spair; she comes down from heaven to his help, and throughout the ascents of most dim. trutha, and = human. divine Now, I could multiply witness upon witness of this kind. 1 would take Chaucer and show you why he wrote a Legend of Good Women but ‘no legend of good men. 1 would take Spenser—nay, I could go back into the mythological teachings of the most ancient times and show you how the great Exyptian peuple, wisest then of nations, gave to their spirit of Wisdom ¢ form of woman, Ts It not somewhat impo: tant to make up our minda on this matter? Are all these great men mistaken or are we? Are Shake Speare and Aeschylus, Dante and Homer merely dressing dolls for us?" “SESAME AND LILIES," SAY8 WOMAN 18 INFERIOR MENTALLY AND MORALLY. Dear Madam: Yes, woman is in- ferlor to man intellectually and even morally. Your excuse that woman never had as tuch leisure as man to devote to science and art Is not cor- rect. Moat of the geniuses who have made history have been bachelors and there have certainly always been @ great many bachelors among wo- men also. And what about the ch!ld- if women and those who have eervants? How many women are getting up all kinds of fads just bee cause they don't know what to do with thelr leisure? You say “that if there were any essential, ineradica- ble difference in the intellectual post bilities of men and women a similar difference would exist throughout the animal world.” This is not necessary, although biology will tell eat many in the animal world be- tween the male and the female. Tt {6 @ Dlological fact thas the female child ts brighter than the male child, and what the “gohool teacher” said ahout school Girls being brighter than boys is true. But the intellectual develop. meat of the female stops at physi- ca) maturity and does not grow any more, while the male continues in his development. Woman is inferior to man intellec. tually for the same reason that the nose and the hands are not equal— because they both have different functions w perform. Man and wo- man form, in my opinion, one sivgle eing and they consequently have to suppliment each other. Her pur- pose in life is not inferior to that of the man, ét Is only @ different one, They both have their equal shares. Hie part is more active, while hers ie rather of a passive nature, ie to the egent, the mediater, phe in. -wi> — splrer of great deeds. Her work is work of the heart, of the soul and Rot creative intellectual work, Cor- nella, the mother of the Gracchi, ls the ideal woman of ali ages and all nations, Her nvle pride was to the mother of her children, to be the agent of thelr great achhievements. So long as woman docs not realise her real object in life and will con- tinue to fight for and “rights? which belong to man, #0 long she will remain 9 to-day—a mixture of vampire and Parasite. She will continue to over- flow the world witn productions of her superficiality and mediocrity ana Prevent progress. Instead of bring- ing her up to be man's competitor, educate her for her real work, the one dentined to her by nature, ae agent and Inspirer of great deeds, we will have a world of progress 4s we never had before ARISTIPPOS WOMAN STIRS CAPITOL WITH PERSECUTION STORY Praises Sulzer, Who Listens to Her, but Rails at Glynn for Shutting His Door.
