THE PRUSSIAN SCHOOLGIRL.
In Prussia at any rate the barbarous illusion that a girl does not need to bo as well educated as a boy will soon pass (says an Australian paper). Tho Prussian Government has grappled the whole matter of girls' higher education with the scientific thoroughness characteristic of, the German. Tho Emperor William, as lviiig of Prussia, has sanctioned new regulations, which start from the express assumption that boys' and girls' education, is to be on an absolutely equal footing. Equally high qualifications will be required in tho teaching staff of girls' schools as in teachers in boys' schools. Tho minimum courso is to bo ten years, begin, ning at six. Thoughtful arrangements are made to fit in tho later years of education with tho girl's future life, and the career of the housewife is not overlooked. Germany will reap' her reward for taking this thing seriously.
