In all their work they must respect their own organization, and remain women, not strive to be men, or they will ig- nominiously fail. For both sexes, there is no exception to the law, that their greatest power and largest attainment lie in the perfect development of their organization. “ Woman,” says a late writer, “ must be regarded as woman, not as a nondescript animal, with greater or less capacity for assimilation to man.” If we would give our girls a fair chance, and see them become and do their best by reaching after and attaining an ideal beauty and power, which shall be a crown of glory and a tower of strength to the republic, we must look after their complete development as women. Wherein they are men, they should be educated as men; wherein they are women, they should be educated as women. The physiological motto is, Educate a man for manliood, a woman for womanhood, both for humanity, In this lies the hope of the race.
