CHILD MANNEQUINS,

AN OUTLET FOR NATURAL VANITY,

Deauville has again set the fashion of the child mannequin. To the gaze of admiring crowds. little girls, trip gaily arrayed in dainty, diaphanous dresses demand. ed by the delights of Deauville. To some this venture may be checking and inconsiderate. It may encour age vanity. However, to the child, as far as appearance goes, there is a "natural proclivity in this direc lion; in fact, all is vanity, whether that means dressing up as a manne quin er achieving the first steps of locomotion.

Demand For Admiration. Every child has an innate egoism which demands admiration: so that for healthy mental development it is well to give this attitude fair quin frede this natural trend and becomes an outlet of the most suitable nature by displaying this desire to show off. Provided the performance is not carried far enough to exhaust these little ones; it ought to prove beneficial to, the developing child.

The Lure Of Dressing Up." The love for dressing up is well known. Who has failed during childhood to requisition a sheet for a bridal train and the window curtain net for the veil The child excels in the art of miniery. She does is the grown-ups do, that is, she identifies herself and also cultivates the desire to be noticed. This is called exhibitionism in paychology.

Two wealthy children arranged some impromptu charaden. Tay simulated a pair of ruffians in dila pidated clothing and caps worn askew with smeary faces much to the amusement of the family. This was another form of exhibitionismo that made them the centre of the limelight.

NOT ENOUGH.

MANAGING A HUSBAND.

[BY JOHN WESTON EDWARDS.]

Gradually woman in general has begun to realise that she needs a great many lessons in the art of living: that the instinct and intui- tien with which she has always been credited are not infallible at their best and are often entirely lacking.

GIRLS SHOULD NOT BE EDUCATED LIKE BOYS.

AN ENGLISH HEADMASTER ON A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

I think that girls should be educated quite differently from boys," said Dr. Cyril Norwood; the popular headmaster of Har- row School. Many people have called me old-fashioned because of this. But the fact is that the education of girls and boys along the same lines is itself a relic of the past Queen Elizabeth receiv The maternal instinct is, at last, recognised as being no more an in-d substantially the same educa- variable factor in a woman's nature tion as a prospective king.

art. Why not Women marry every day with only the most rudimentary ideas of the working of the mind of a man."-

A Panacea For Lost Illusions. The inevitable criticism of any suggestion that such knowledge could be imparted would be that generalities about men or women are dangerous. Some of them are, and the girl in love will mentally acquit her own particular fancy of most of the ordinary weaknesses of mankind. After marriage, however, the lessons she had learned could not fail to help her when propin-

The question of differentiating the curricula between the sexes has been carefully causidered, and a monumental official report has been published. This in the end proves

nothing because the majority of girls were not consider ed. Individual girls can be found who are capable, intellectually, and even physically, of the same work as boys. But when you con- sider the 100,000 or so of girls of 12 to 18 who are now being educat- ed in the secondary and public schools the number has increased two and three times since the war is it not very short-sighted to suppose that a stereotyped course of learning will suit all of them? The majority will eventually marry. At school they are taught exactly as if they were going on to the university.

Many headmistresses are volting, quite rightly, against the tyranny of the school certificate. At present the girls have to be drilled up to examination standard in English subjects, a moderu language, mathematics and science. There is little time left for music, art, and domestic subjects, which are exactly the sort of training for the average girl, who is not likely nor, I may add, is the average boy to go very far intellectually. The examination is spoiled for the intellectual minority because the standard is necessarily lowered; and the girl who is intelligent, but not intellectual, is turned out ul. most completely uneducated for the work of running her home and looking after her children.

Very often her work for the school certificate imposes great strain on a girl. She is handicap- ped physically, but she is endowed with an exacting feminine con- science..

No Change Since The Middle Agos,

7

"It seems to me that as womeo have become emancipated, so have they become more and more en- alaved to an out-of-date system of education. Sir Oliver Lodge bas just seat me his pamphlet an School Reform, written in 1904, in which he quetes the words of Sir William Higgins that education had seen little change since the Middle Ages. There has "been remarkable change during these 24 years where women" are concerned, though it is hardly for the better. That is that commerce, like, the professions, demands of them a certain scholastic proficiency, men- sured by the school certificate stan- dard or by the standard of the universities.

The Fallacy Of Abstract Training.

Education should aim at the development of the mind through the band, eye, and voice.

We should not rely on linguistic study and abstract thought. The definite curricula for girls would depend on circumstaners-on. the per- sonalities of girls and staff, on the locality, and so on.
