STILL HIGHER EDUCATION AT
VASSAR
Education, contrary to the popular
belief, does not stop with a college
degree when one is in the twenties.
Vassar is about to open a new gradu-
ate school without a dean, faculty,
professors, or courses of study. It is
primarily intended to be a sort of
workshop for Vassar graduates who
wish an opportunity to "return to
write the book or play they have held
in the back .of their brains for years,
or take up the study of better schools
and prisons, and do the reading every
woman plans to do, but scarcely ever
finds time for with her duties 'as
housekeeper."
Michigan has always opened her'
doors to anyone who wished to avail
himself of the privilege, but this hovel'
institution at Vassar will be the first
of its kind, distinguished as it is by
the name of a graduate school, a de-1
partment of the system at Vassar It1

hag ' been termed. by some news arti-
cles as "an asylum for bored wives."
Rather an exaggerated statement how-'
ever in view of the facts in the lives
of the average alumna of that college.
Still in the first place statistics defin-
itely prove that comparatively few,
Vassar graduates are married, and
those who have undertaken a business
or artistic career are as welcome to
attend this unusual school as the so-
called "bored wives."
In the second place, concerning the
married alumna it is an indisputable
'lact that when her family has grown
up and moved away to begin their
own lives, she is released from her
chief worries and cares, and finds timej
hanging heavily upon her hands. Al..
most every woman will admit that this
is anything but a pleasant release for
this reason: a man's business interests
ordinarily occupy his mind and time
until he has approached his allotted
three score years and ten, but when a!
woman's business of raising a family
has been completed, usually before she
has reached the half century mark,
she finds herself with no urgent de-I
mands ,upon her time, begins to pity
herself and imagine herself neglected,'
and is, on the whole, vaguely discon-
tented and unhappy.
This unique school provides an out-
let for the energy and vitality of these
women who, for the most part are
still mentally capable of carrying out'
the anbitions of their youth, and gives,
them a suitable place in which ,to
worlk in comparative detachment. c
Undoubtedly some of them will be
doomed to disappointment for they
will find that their dream master-
pieces will obstinately refuse to ma-
terialize. But on the other hand, we
have the examples before us of thosej
who; without the aid of an institution
such as this have "come back and

helpful system, the number of the lat-
ter should increase remarkably and
the former should decrease propor-
tionately. The only apparent draw-
back is that graduates of other col-I
leges are not eligible for registration.

THROWING STONES IN GLASS
HOUSES,
However much the action of France
in her drastic German policy has con-
tributed to world unrest and dissatis-
faction, the culpability of the rest of
the allied nations is unquestioned.
The cruel, self seeking policies of
Poincaire are beyond the power of
any modern civilized power to sup-
port. France has seized her oppor-
tunity to wreck a terrible retribution
upon the people of her nearest and
greatest enemy and, with the oppor-
tunity in her grasp, she will not be
diverted from her objective, no matter
what the cost to the German people
or to the world at large.l
Great Britain and the United States,

however, carry upon their shoulders
a large burden of the blame. The re-
fusal of Poincaire to meet representa-
tives of these nations in a conference
whose chief aim was to weaken his
own position while leaving untouched
the benefits received by themselves in
the treaty of Versailles was not un-
reasonable. Englandtinsists upon re-
taining her hold on the German col-I
onies which she received as her share
of the spoils. and the United States
refuses to consider any discussion af-
fecting her war debt. It is small won-
der then that France, whose only hope
of immediately collecting her repara-
tions from Germany lays in the pur-
suiance of her prcsent Ruhr policy
should refuse o it)up voluntarily
whatever addamit: ew she now holds.
What is needed Wr a settlement of
the world turmoil is principally an
open-minded and unselfish attitude on
the part of all the nations concerned
