Much of modern scientific research
work is nothing more nor less than
the endowment of intelligence, the set
ting free of brains to work out prob
lems. It is difficult to believe that
women would have done other than
to have builded better than men have,
despite our progress, great in itself,
and to have benefited the world two
fold.
Because women are by nature kind
er than men (except in such cases of
great men as have held in their na
tures a fair share of fine feminine
characteristics), it is reasonable to
suppose that the world would be a
happier place to live in today for un
told millions, if women had had, from
the beginning, the governmental con
trol of nations, as well a§ the leader
ship in the arts and sciences.
Despite the perfectly natural glori
fication of the warrior by the war
rior’s women, it is hard to suppose
ithat women of themselves would have
spent unnumbered millions and bil
lions of dollars in war or would have
laid waste whole nations with fire and
sword or allowed themselves to have
been sent forth to death at the whim
of queen or prime ministeress. This
is said in no disparagement of heroes
—heroes are tremendous, to he praised
—war is another matter, indeed. The
field in which the laborer works is one
thing; the'work he does there strictly
another.
