Or. Adams Says
Coeds Won't Make Best Mamas
Ed. Nolo: This is lhe second of a series of articles on the subject "Will College Women Make
Good Mothers?"
By Jean Alderfer
Dr. Ciixiord K. Adams, the only
mail commenting on a speech by
ivirs. i! reaerick wyatt in wmen
sne said non-coliege women
make tne best mothers, was the
only person of a group inter
viewed recently to speak up tor
the Cambridge psychologist's ar
guments.
Coeds and town women inter
viewed had contested Mrs.
Wyatts statements, agreeing 100
per : cent that college women
make as good mothers and in
many cases superior mothers
than do non-college women.
Dr. Adams, marriage counselor
and author, wrote the following
explanation of his opinion for
The Daily Collegian:
“It is true that the average
college girl gets little training for
the responsibilities of mother
hood. Her education is usually in
the field of liberal arts or toward
some particular vocation.
Only Child
“Ordinarily, she comes from a
home in which there may be only
one other child. The
girl, however, is more likely to
come from a home where there
were severed children. In many
cases she lias had much of the
responsibility for the care of. a
younger child and has, at least,
learned some of the mechanics of
home operation.
“She has usually acquired some
skill in housework, cooking, and
sewing, often to a considerably
higher degree than' is true of the
college girl. To that extent she
may be able to operate more ef
ficiently in the home as a wife
and have more time to spend
with her children; thereby en
abling her to , give more ‘emo
tional warmth’ to them.
Look Forward to Motherhood
“It is doubtful if college girls
look forward to motherhood as
eagerly as do non-college women,
probably because college grad
uates are more likely to want
careers along with marriage and
are more insistent upon giving
any children they may have all
the opportunities possible.
“The situation' is beginning to
improve. Many colleges and uni
versities are recognizing their
primary responsibility to prepare
students for life rather than just
for a vocation. Evidences of this
are the growth of courses in
marriage and home relationships,
the inclusion of electives in spec
ializing curricula, and the em
phasis upon coeducation. Our
failure to do this in the past in
both high schools and colleges is
the major . reason for our ever
growing divorce rate (600,000
divorces in 1946, or an increase of
30 .percent over 1945). ,
•Penn Stale Fortunate
“Penn State _is much more for
tunate than many, other institu
tions of higher learning because:
1. Many of its girls nave come
from homes where they had an
opportunity to learn child care
and the operation of a home.
2. It is co-educational and
looking forward to the day when
it can admit more girls as stud
ents.
3. It has a strong department

' Summer
Many of the job opportunities
in this column are suitable for
men as well as women. National
parks offer probably the best
opportunities of all summer re
sorts to combine work and play.
Recreation facilities are usually
open to employees and guests
equally. But work comes first,
xou're liable to find yourselr go
ing to bed by nine every evening
because you can't take any more.
The state employment service
has inrormauon on resorts, or
you' can get the names of some
from travel folders. Here are a
few that have indicated they will
consider applications. Other ad
dresses are available and may be
obtained on request.
