On the contrary, Mrs. George Haven Putnam represents that croup of women whom superficially minded Persons consider most hostile to the ofa idea that motherhood is a wom- an’g crown of glory, her supreme Justification for existence. Not only te Mrs. Putnam a graduate of Bry Mawr, but for years she was dean of Barnard College and is Now a member of its history depart- ment. Not only is she the author of “The Lady” and of other interesting soctal and historical studies, but she has been manager of the Women's University Club, President of the Laaghe for Political Association and intelgent and indefatigable worker in various philanthropic and educa- tional activities Yet it is this woman of modern thought and activity who in theory an@ in practice is a living answer to the fear expressed in The Evening Werkt recently by St. John Ervine, the British author—the fear that the medern woman is getting her job mixed with that of man, is forgetting her duty to conserve civilization and the race. | “I do not put motherhood on the | ground of duty,” explained Mrs. Put- | nam frankly, “for you must demon- strate that life is always and intrin- | sically desirable before you get ex- cited about the ethics of handing it} om Nor do I put it on the ground of | direct satisfaction, for the individual | chfid may be a source of anguish rather tian of joy.
