GIRLS SHOULD

Dorothy Dix Declares Educa
tion For Most Part Is Merc
Flubdub
Bj DOROTHY DIX-
The school year is In full swing and
following tho pursuit of what they are
pleased to call their education. '
l r or the most part, this is mere flub
dub, a smattering of this and a smat
tering of that, a glimpse of mathe
matics, a glance at literature, a dab
at art, a stab at music, and not enough
of any one to be of the slightest as
sistance if the girl ever needs to call
upon it for help.
For the average girl's education
may best be described in the words of
the popular ditty which declared, "I
don't know where I'm going, but I'm
on my way." Nobody knows which
way a girl is going, or in what direc
tion she is headed, and so she is given
ft sort of hit or miss education that
her optimistic parents fondly believe
will fit her for anything, and that in
reality fits her for nothing.
There is no other individual in the
world who gets such a cruel deal in
life as the daughter of the well-to-dov

THURSDAY EVENING,
American family. Her parents sim
ply gamble with her fate.
They have no fortune to settle upon
her; no dowry to give her when she
marries that would secure her flnan- j
cial independence if her marriage
proved disastrous; not a dollar to give
her if she does not marry; not a penny
to stand between her and want if the
father dies, or becomes disabled, but
they do not make her self-supporting.
Thousands of dollars are thrown
away on the girl's education, but she is
not taught one single thing thoroughly
enough to make of it a marketable
commodity. Nobody thinks It worth
while to teach her a trade by which
she can support herself if it becomes
necessary.
Her parents have banked everything
on the one chance of her getting mar
ried and acquiring a husband who
would be able to keep her in pink cot
ton the balance of her life. Now
catching a husband is by no means as
easy a thing as it sounds, and it
grows more and more difficult year
by year.
Besides, husbands lose their money,
or their jobs, only too often. Some
times they turn out to be drunkards
or dastards with whom no woman can
live. . Frequently they die, leaving
their wives nothing but a house full
of children.
Then the woman who has been
given nothing but an omelet souffle
education has a right to rise up and
curee her parents whose folly is re
sponsible for her utter despair and
desolation. If she had been trained to
any trade or profession she could turn
her hand to it again, and her loss
would be merely a misfortune instead
of the overwhelming disaster that it is.
Of course, when you talk to mothers
and fathers about having their
daughters taught some occupation by
| which they can make a living, they
always reply that about the time you
get a girl fitted for a career, and have
spent a small fortune in preparing her
for it, she ups and'marries. This may
be true in many cases, but the special
training is not thrown away, as the
parents seem to think. All education
is broadening, and makes for human
happiness and usefulness, because It
opens new doors to the individual.
Moreover, whether the woman who
has fitted herself to be a lawyer or a
doctor practices her profession or not,
she has not only a source of constant
joy in the wider knowledge she pos
sesses, but she has the solid satisfaction
of knowing that she has an anchor to
the windward. She could support her
self if her husband died, or deserted
her. She would not have to continue
living with him under conditions that
make marriage a purgatory, as so
many women do, because her husband
is her meal ticket, and she would
starve without him.
There are many professions and
trades to which a girl may be trained
by which she could make a living if
need be, and which will add to her
efficiency as a wife and mother if she
doesn't need to support herself. The
woman who is a fine musician, or a
cpmpetent artist, can find daily scope
for her trained talents in her home.
So can the teacher and the kinder
gartner.
The girl who is a graduate of a busi
ness college can run her household
accounts with more system than the
woman who can't add up the grocery
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
book. The girl who can make her own
hats and gowns well enough to get a
job In a millinery or dressmaking es
tablishment can dress ten times as well
as the bungling amateur sewer, and
the bride who is a domestic science
expert will cause her husband to call
down blessings on her head.

AWAITS APPROVAL
OF NEW TERMINAL
[Continued From First rime.]
troubles at Second and Walnut streets
and in Market Square would be by the
erection of a terminal In Walnut street
and double tracking from Front to
River streets to connect with a loop
in the terminal.
General approval of the plan was
heard on all sides to-day as city of
ficials and many other prominent men
well versed in municipal affairs dis
cussed the big advantages offered by
the proposed improvement.
Hold l'|> Comfort Station Plans
Pending the action of the City Plan
ning Commission at a special meeting,
which may be held late to-day, and
the decision of Valley Railways direct
ors, no further steps will be taken to
have plans drawn for a comfort sta
tion and safety /.ones in Market
Square.
City Commissioner William H.
Lynch announced this morning that
he would not appoint an architect to ]
.make plans for the isles of safety and
comfort stations until it was known
whether the 'cross-river car traffic will
eventually be handled in Walnut street.
Traffic experts, members of the>
Planning Commission and city officials
all agreed that nothing could be done
to change conditions in Market Square
until the 'cross-river system has been
changed.
Calls Special Meeting
Edwin S. Herman, chairman of the
Planning Commisison, called a special
meeting of the commission immedi
ately after the conference yesterday.
It is understood that the proposed
terminal idea will be approved.
"For the last three years we have
been trying to have changes made in
Market Square, but could tind no satis
factory solution because of the 'cross
river car traffic," Mr. Herman ex
plained to-day in speaking of the ter
minal question. "Until that is elimi
nated it will be almost useless to try
to make any changes.
"It has been said that by putting
double tracks in Walnut street and
running a loop Inside the terminal will
necessitate cross the sidewalks. 1 do
not believe this will be objectionable,
however, as the relief afforded in Mar
kt gquar and at Second and Walnut
streets will result."
Rapidly Increasing traffic to the
Wets Shore, It was pointed out, will
eventually necessitate a change, and If
It is done in the near future more ex
tensive development in the 'cross-river
district will result.
New Bridge Necessary?
The erection of a terminal station
on Walnut street and the double track
ing of that thoroughfare between
Front and Second streets would be
FEBRUARY 8, 1917.
necessarily followed by double tracks
all the way across the Walnut street
bridge, it was said to-day by traffic
men who have given the matter con
sideration. The preesnt bridge, it was
k also said, wOuld not permit of double
tracks and the erection of a new
bridge to take f he place of the present
structure would become a necessity.
This would remove from the river
basin the obstruction to the view
caused by the present type of over
head steel work on the Walnut street
structure, for it is assured that an
other bridge erected there would not
be of that antiquated design. Indeed,
it is likely that the City Planning Com
mission would Insist that such a bridge
be of ornamehtal design in keeping
with the city's purpose to beautify the
river at this point in every way pos
sible.
Double tracks all the way to the
West Shore would enable the Valley
Railways to give the people of Le
moyne, New Cumberland, 'Camp Hill
and the northern section us far as
Enola seven-minute service, which
would bring it up to a par with the
city lines and help greatly in building
up the 'cross-river suburban sections.
Lehigh Plans to Electrify
Would Use Power at Mines
Hazleton, Pa., Feb. B.—Electrifica
tion of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
from Jersey City to Wilkes-Harre and
the main line on the Hazleton & Ma
hanoy Division from Mauch Chunk
to Mt. Carmel, is being contemplated,
It was learned yesterday.
The work has been plotted out by
y
competent engineers in charge of
William J. Willegus, the New York
consulting engineer who was at tho
head of the valuation proceedings of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company con
ducted here the past two years by A.
B. Cochrane & Sons, engineers of
Pottsville.
it is believed that power can bo
made at various points along the line,
saving the cost of transportation, as
the fuel will be turned into current
near the anthracite mines.
The scheme has approached tho
point where it will be referred with
definite estimates to the directors, anil
action is soon expected.
