The family has responded to the extent of granting the education, but they are jealous of the new claim and assert the family claim as over against it.
The modern woman finds herself educated to recognize a stress of social obligation which her family did not in the least anticipate when they sent her to college.

She finds herself, in addition, under an impulse to act her part as a citizen of the world.

She accepts her family inheritance with loyalty and affection, but she has entered into a wider inheritance as well, which, for lack of a better phrase, we call the social claim.

This claim has been recognized for four years in her training, but after her return from college the family claim is again exclusively and strenuously asserted.

The situation has all the discomfort of transition and compromise.
