nce between them and the endowed universities. They stand
distinctly for what is practical, and it is here that most technical
work is done and specialties, such as agriculture, forestry, domestic
science, and others, are taught. Discuss the relative values of the two;
is there a tendency more and more toward having the State give the whole
education? How do our great endowed universities compare with those of
England and Germany?

VIII--WOMEN'S COLLEGES

One meeting should be on women's colleges, taking them in the order of
their establishment, and showing how they have developed. Have
descriptions of each and tell of its special aims. Discuss the value of
a college training for women, and its faults. Speak of coeducational
colleges and State Universities; have they advantages over the rest?
Does a college woman lose interest in her home? Does she marry early, or
does she drift into a career?

Have some college woman address the club on work done in the line of
higher education of women, and its results. See "The College Girl of
America," by Mary C. Crawford (The Page Company).

IX--POSTGRADUATE WORK AND NEW IDEAS

Postgraduate work, the topic for the next meeting, includes that done in
medical, law, and theological schools, and the work for degrees.
Representative schools may be selected as the subject for papers, and
speakers from these should be had to tell of them to the club, if
possible.

The final meeting on education may take up some of the new ideas of
work, such as the opening of the school of journalism at Columbia
University, and other attractive fields of study. Summer assemblies may
be spoken of, and their value, especially to those who have had few
opportunities for study early in life. Correspondence schools may also
be mentioned and their work discussed. Are they really as useful as they
seem at first sight? Notice that many of them are able to give important
help on special lines. Musical festivals, lecture courses, illustrated
talks on travel, and other of the many opportunities offered to the
public may also be spoken of.

There is an abundance of material to be found on all educational
subjects in a good encyclopedia. On special topics there are the
educational journals, the educational department of the _Survey_, and
magazine articles constantly. The Educational Bureau at Washington will
give information and material on request. The excellent book
