Tho .Training of Daughters. .'. What; may be termed the awakening of woman to what is needful for. the upholding .-of' her own. • eclf-respect' has brought other good things in its train, states' - an. Australian writer. Not only has work'now a proper social status for the unmarried, but; it . has opened the eyes. of, those. who have married and aro mothers of children to the fact that they owe a duty in 'the matter of education "and training .to their daughters as well-as to their sons. At one j period those who .had not much money to spare spent all they had on tlie education of the hoys, and prepared them for entering a chosen profession, and gave them as fair a. start. as" they could 111 life; but the daughters—well, they could do tho. best they could, and, so ran ■. the parrot-cry .of that age,' girls could look out for . themselves, as they did not' require much- education.. They marry, and' then it would all be lost. ' A trained and educated, woman call face the future\witli-; ;out much fear,'for slio knows that she; is capable of earning her own living, if the necessity should arise, and this knowledge is a wonderful factor iii. mak-: ing lier not only self-reliant, but happy and contented. If she has io work she can do 4o without any -loss- to her self-respect, 'or the respect, that is duo to her from others. Even should slieb'e poor and alone she can still to her own self he true. .;
