When we recall that Mary Lyon, in opening Mt.

Holyoke Seminary for Girls in that same year of 1837, offered the first opportunity to girls of limited means of what could be called higher education, we can better realize how rapid has been the movement to fit women for educational service.

We, at least, now have a clearer aim in education and are at liberty to use fit men and fit women alike for its realization.

The one great contribution of later times is the determination to share with all the opportunities once held sacred to a select few.
=Women's Work in Philanthropy.=--In philanthropy there has been so great a transformation both in ideal and in method that it amounts to a change in the centre of gravity.

Charity once had for its aim the easing of unbearable misery, the giving of alms to relieve the starving, and personal aid of all sorts to those who were not expected to be lifted out of the category of the poor, those who must be always helped, but should be helped in a spirit of kindness.
