Here are brave words for the "schoolmarm," but the special applicatlon Is rather to England than the United States: "Of oíd a gentlewoman taught as a last resource- when starvation stared her in the face. Her duty was to marry for a livelihood. Any situation in which she worked for daily bread was 'considered in the light of a degradation.' The words are Mary Wollestoneeraft's, and she knew; she began life as a governeps. Now teaching for woman is an honorable profession, as it should be. She teaches because she has qualiflfd herself to be a teacher even as a barrlster has equipped himself for the law, a doctor for medicine. Her work Is done, not because a husband is not forthcoming, but because the world needs it."
