ABSTRACT
It will be remembered that little more than three years ago M. Camille See obtained the enactment by the French Legislature of a law to secure the higher education of women in Prance. The Legislature then bound itself to establish, with the concurrence of the departments and the towns, lyceums and colleges in which sound and thorough instruction could be obtained. That law was of the happiest augury for the future of France. It has been put in force without delay, and an entire army of young French women are now receiving a solid and comprehensive education from which their mothers were absolutely shut out, and which, more than any other reform, will tend to bridge over the chasm of thought and sympathy which, during the past and present generation has so painfully and dangerously separated French women from French men.
