\nthe Lewiston Journal and Boston Advertiser.
\nBoth these papers have recently printed editorials
\nIn favor of co-education and dissenting from
\nthe new plan. Now, if we can speak and speak
\nenergetically, it will, I feel sure, produce a good
\neffect upon public opinion<\/span>, at least.<\/p>\n
\nto see what has been done and it looks as if
\nPres. Small is not going to do this and remain
\nuncriticized. We shall have more help after<\/span>
\nwe speak, I feel almost sure.<\/p>\n
\nco-operation and let us all act at once.
\nI wish you would return the paper on
\nSaturday. That will give me a little time
\nto make any alterations that may be necessary.
\nA word about your criticism of my point
\nof view. I argue it on the ground of the
\nhome life and for married women because he does<\/span>.
\nIf I can show him that co-education and
\nthe present course of study result in quality ben-
\nefits to the home life<\/span> I answer his argument
\nmore effectively<\/span>. Don\u2019t you see? I say after-
\nwards that there is no need<\/span> of arguing for
\nthe benefits to society as everybody knows
\nthat an educated<\/span> woman\u2019s sphere is necess-
\narily wider than the home. He won\u2019t admit
\nthat, of course, and so why waste words on<\/p>\n
\non his own ground<\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nI go out today to see the Mathews girls, and
\nshall see Miss Meader soon.<\/p>\n
\ndelay will let the secret out prematurely and
\nthus injure the effect of whatever action
\nwe may take.<\/p>\n
\ncan find no other.<\/p>\n
