ABSTRACT

The boy, so soon as be is of an age to be parted from bis parents, is sent to school to receive the education, intellectual and physical, that is to fit him for entrance into the world. The boy is introduced into some mercantile house, where he begins immediately a life of aim and activity; or else he is sent to college, where he at once directs all the powers of his mind and body to the attainment of honours and distinctions. Men are bitter and sarcastic against the rival sex, and often make unkind remarks with regard to women’s opinions or attainments. So long as women are encouraged by advertising vendors of literary rubbish, and by the world of men generally, to entertain themselves in such frivolous study, so long they will remain unable to advance one step towards better things.
