Marriage and Mathematics
That a knowledge of mathematics rather than efficiency in handling a frying pan should bo a woman’s passport to marriage is the opinion of Dr. E. H. Lehmann, of Highland Manor School, New York State (says a dispatch). “A good mathematician will make a better wife than will a good cook,” says the doctor. “Not merely because she is a good mathematician, but because her success in that direction indicates that she is endowed with a higher degree of intellectuality. ‘‘lt is still widely thought that there is only one way to a man's heart—through his stomach. There is a better way—through his mind.”
