A Word to parents and guardians Who are seeking an ideal school for their girls There is no longer any question as to the advisability of giv- ing all possible advantages along the lines of higher education to women, the question has shifted to one of ways and means. Now parents do not ask, Shall we send our daughter to col- lege P but, Shall we send' her to a large or to a small college ? Shall we send her to a co-educational institution ? Shall we give her the advantages of an Eastern finishing school ? Shall we exchange her home surroundings for boarding-house life and the democratic, if promiscuous, associations of the state univer- sity, or shall we send her to a convent college ? The idea of the woman's college, when first promulgated, appealed strongly through its novelty to Americans and the pen- dulum of public opinion swung to the extreme arc of agitation. The impulse from the other extreme-ultra-conservative ideas on the education of women-gave a wide sweep to the pendulum, leaving many onlookers in Gath perplexed, if not aghast, over the new conditions. .But reflecting minds counted on the law of gravity in the social order, nor were they mistaken, for the pen- dulum of public opinion is slowly swinging towards the normal in woman's education, a point between the conservatism of the old regime and the radicalism of the new. The embodiment of this ideal is to be found in the high-class convent school. Q The history of woman's education up to comparatively re- cent times is a record of convent training. This is wholly the ease in European countries and partially so in the United States. The days of a Hilda of Whitby and a Hroswitha of Gandersheim witnessed high degrees of culture rather than the culture of high degrees, and the movement towards the higher education of women, which we of to-day designate as new, found its begin- ning within cloister walls of so-called dark ages. Down the cen- turies this intellectual and moral impulse made its Way, holding its own amid the changes of fortune, standing ever for ethical certitude in a world of fluctuating principles. ' i 3
