Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1896.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: It has been said that “The aim of education for the boy in America is to make of him a free, self-directing, man; a man ready and able to act intelligently, nobly, and strongly in all affairs of life; a man who while taking full account of the world in which he acts, does not find the principles or sanction of his actions there but in his own righteous will that is his education will include mainly those sciences which relate to man and his relation to the world of nature and the world of spirit.” If this is true of the boy’s education is it not also true of the girls? Her education should consist of those sciences which relate to woman and her relation to the world.The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
