”Let nothing disturb thee, Nothing affright thee; All things are passing-- God never changeth; Patient endurance Attaineth to all things,”

if we did not know that there is soher, even, than patient endurance, and so we say to theard you In eternity's stillness, Here is all fulness, Ye brave, to reward you; Work and despair not”

[54] The statistics of the Bureau of Education, circulars 3 and 5, show that there are at present in the United States no less than forty-six colleges open to both sexes; and as we go to press, word coe, Belfast, and Owen's College, Manchester, England, are seriously considering the propriety of the measure for themselves

[55] My professional work has lain in Grah and Norh and Nor which tie public schools in the city, modeled after the New York schools; and in St Louis for nine years, where I was necessarily called to be familiar with al city I ao schools, and with the Normal schools in many States of the Union

”More than this, it would seee of great principles of health, or in want of firm character to resist the inroads of certain vicious ideas in e of woman's education fro calculated to give firmer mental and moral texture, would help, rather than hurt in this matter”--_Majority Report sube's proposal to endow a college for woraphs will be found entire in the Appendix

[59] Chancellor Winchell, of Syracuse University, makes this statement:

”It is not pertinent to the question for us to inquire whether the pursuit of the higher studies be compatible with the health of woe in that respect We allow her to judge in regard to the healthfulness of all other pursuits The pursuit of fashi+on, in so, if not ruinous, to health; yet in our legislative halls, and in the formation of public opinion, we enact no lahich interfere with the right she exercises to pursue her business of fashi+on, and to lead a life which may be, and is, prejudicial to her physical health”
