AN IDEALIST ON THE FUTURE.
WHAT THE NEW GEORGIAN ERA
MAY BRING FORTH.
The Coronation being a tale that is told, we may sit down in comfort to a little osa reflec tion
on what the bappily inaugurated reign may bring forth,
Plson to the ladies! The now Georgian ers will see a great step forward in what some ladies we know like to call the Emancipation of Women
Looking ahead of the near future of political enfranchisement, some prophets see our women- folk standing side by side with men not only on political platforms, but in the House, in the Empire's council chambers, at the Dar, on the Bench, in the jury box, in the business world- everywhere as even now women find an equal footing with men on the stage.
After that, other prophots see a pleasant vision of a return of women to their hearthsides and their babies cradles. They suppose that when women have conquered all worlds they will find that none of the spheres to-day closed to them 270 so attractive aus wifehood and
half motherhood,
And
I will thankfully leave it to men to in a world that should be peaceful enough before carry on such rough dghting work as remains King George has done with reigning.
Much that is wrong in women's position to-day will be abolished for ever. There will be no more aweated WOMEN. The ad-eyed flower-seller will be seen no more in the streets. Clever girl agcretaries no longer will do the work of five male clerks for half a man's pay. Drudges of the kitchen and sonllery will walk in beauty. No more will poor labourers' wives work themselves to death in a brave attempt to keep a home together on a husband's wage of less than a pound a week, half of which goes on rent and most of the other half on drink, while seven children are crying to be fed-as is common enough in the country to-day.
Nor will there be over-worked telephone-girls, and other post-office folk, and underpaid school. teachers. Government departaiouts one and all will be put on a right, footing, a model to all private industries.
THE NEW WOMAN.
At the end of the new Georgian era we see a New Woman indeed, and a splendid vision she is, celf-reliant, confident, her battles for freedom fought and won, her sex perfectly omancipated, and prouder of nothing in the world than the children in her arms and clinging to her knees. He would be a weak hearted prophet who did not dare to say that before the end of the new Georgian era there would be no more ateam ongines and trains as we know them, Nor will horses any longer be in general use. But to say how we shall travel needs a bol seer, for thera will be new ways of which we have never dreamt,
In a few years we shall be laughing at our aeroplause of to-day, and wondering how we were so foolish as to imagine thoy had a prac tical value outside of sporting interest, or how we could trust precious lives to machines which depended for flight on the infallibility of not infalliblo ongine.
We shall fly safely, and flying will be a cheap means of locomotion, incredibly swift, too. We shall think no more of flying from London to New York than we think now of a train journey from London to Croydon.
THE NEW LEARNING.
We shall be a highly educated race, as far in advance of the Germans of to-day as they now are in advance of us.
Country boys will learn rural industries at school, and country girls domestic economy, Apprenticeship, on round lines, will be revived. The movement for open-air schools will be wonderfully spread; indeed, the nation as a whole will be going back to Nature throughout the new Georgian era,
Daylight saving will be as accomplished fact. As the ploughman begins plonghing at six, so shall we go to our offices and banke at six and our gain will be the long, beautiful afternoon and evening hours for relaxation, which we shall have and hold as our most precious
possessions.
