Even then we do not anticipate that repulsive "equality" between men and women which is so much prated about.
The complete human being is not A MAN, nor is it A WOMAN. The COMPLETE human being is a man AND a woman. The TWO MAKE ONE. Each will contribute a share to the perfection of the whole. That was the way it was planned from the beginning, and we think we could prove it, if this column were six feet longer.
THE COW THAT KICKS HER WEANED CALF IS ALL HEART
An estimable and very intelligent lady criticises modern education, saying, "So much brain is forced into the girl nowadays that it crowds out her heart." ——
At the risk of shattering the foundations of romance and poetry, it must be said here once and for all that the heart has nothing whatever to do with the emotions. It is simply a pump, and a large part of its work consists in pumping blood to the brain. The greater the brain, the greater and more active the heart must be. A serpent, with little or no brain and a cold disposition all around, gets along very nicely with little or no heart.
Those who speak of the heart as opposed to the mind mean to speak of unreasoning sentiment as opposed to intellectual strength.
The lady quoted and many others say that the woman and mother should be all affection, and that development of the mind diminishes the affection.
We wish to lay down a few rules; we invite criticism.
The best thing, the only important thing about a woman, a man, a baby, or any other human being, is the intellect.
