lt may be asked whether the university system is the only means of gratifying the English girl's intellectual ambition. There are a number of independent colleges, one of which, the Royal Holloway College, is richly endowed and was modelled upon Vassar and Wellesley Colleges. The founder intended Holloway to be self-centred and self-sufiicing, a sort of womans university. conferring its own degreesg but such colleges to the English mind savor too much of the boarding-school or seminary, and Holloway has been slow in winning favor. The degrees of a distinctively feminine university would be regarded with little favor, and Holloway has been obliged to cater to English conservatism by preparing for the London University degrees or the Oxford examinations. Wlhen the women's colleges at Oxford and Cambridge were established, some thirty years ago, the founders perceived that great responsibilities rested upon them as pioneers. The eyes of all England were upon them, waiting to see how they would solve the question4as yet decidedly an open question-whether women were really capable of receiving and profiting by the higher education. lt was rightly judged that nothing in the way of a test would be convincing to men but the strenuous exertions to which they subjected themselves in order to bear off the palms of scholarship. lVhile there may still be some doubt as to whether the present university courses are the most useful that could be devised for women, it is generally admitted that for the present, to quote the words of a writer on the subject of women's education in England, 'fwoman is not able to go out of the beaten track, being internally not free enoughg and that men would not recognize any other culture as profound and sufficient except one like their own. l1Vith respect to the use made of their education by English women, a very large proportion of those who pass their examinations become teachers. Both the Cxford and Cambridge lists show many names of head mistresses or assistants in girls' schools in England and her dependencies. Many lecture independently or in connection with university extension work. A few become private secretaries or coaches, and occasionally one is employed in the civil service. Une woman holds an important post in the labor department of the Board of Tradeg another is Senior Lady Inspector of Factories. Of those who do not make professional use of their education, the majority, like college graduates ofthe same class in America, find ample scope for their attainments in social and philanthropic work. lt would be unfair and ungracious to suggest that the English system limits the number of women who may avail themselves of the higher education. Unquestionably, if it is discovered that Newnham and Cvirton and Somerville are not meeting the needs of English girls, the adjustment will one day be made. On the other hand there can be little doubt but that American colleges are successfully working along the lines best adapted to the ever-increasing demand of that form ofeducation that shall produce the best type of thorough-bred American woman. 1 Qfrfwfa Ez' 13
