Woman's Great Mission Is To Train Immature,

In Civil And Political Affairs, American Women Take No Interest Or Concern, Except So Far As They Sympathize With Their Family And Personal Friends; But In All Cases, In Which They Do Feel A Concern, Their Opinions And Feelings Have A Consideration, Equal Or Even Superior, To That Of The Other Sex.

... So Large A Portion Of Those Who Hold Much Capital, Instead Of Using Their Various Advantages For The Greatest Good Of Those Around Them, Employ The Chief Of Them For Mere Selfish Indulgences; Thus Inflicting As Much Mischief On Themselves, As Results To Others From Their Culpable Neglect. A Great Portion Of The Rich Seem To Be Acting On The Principle, That The More God Bestows On Them, The Less Are They Under Obligation To Practise Any Self-denial, In Fulfilling His Benevolent Plan Of Raising Our Race To Intelligence And Holiness.

To Open Avenues To Political Place And Power For All Classes Of Women Would Cause These Humble Labors Of The Family And School To Be Still More Undervalued And Shunned.

I Regard The Effort To Introduce Women Into Colleges For Young Men As Very Undesirable, And For Many Reasons. That The Two Sexes Should Be United, Both As Teachers And Pupils, In The Same Institution Seems Very Desirable, But Rarely In Early Life By A Method That Removes Them From Parental Watch And Care, And The Protecting Influences Of A Home.

When Institutions Are Endowed To Train Women For All Departments Connected With The Family State, Domestic Labor, Now So Shunned And Disgraced, Will Become Honorable, Will Gain Liberal Compensation, And Will Enable Every Woman To Secure An Independence In Employments Suited To Her Sex. And When This Is Attained, There Will Be Few Or None Who Wish To Enter The Professions Of Men Or Take Charge Of Civil Government.
