Life Magazine – September 21, 1893 (# 560) – Good results from educating girls

Description

Cover : Young woman talking to her young man, “Not a man of ideas,” art by Charles Howard Johnson.  He : Yes, I’m in love with you.  She : Who told you that?

– Quote from Editor, “The results of late experiments in educating girls have so far surpassed anything that has resulted when boys were used, that it has seemed more than reasonable to wonder how much longer it would seem worth while to fool away anything more than the rudiments of education on mere males. It appears to have been demonstrated everywhere a fair trail has been had, that girls are brighter, more studious, and more ambitious than boys, and can beat them regularly in intellectual competitions.”
– Two page centerspread art by Charles Dana Gibson, “Hint for a hostess : fill a close room on a hot night with people who have come to the country to be cool.”
– Some current events include : Hoping that the senate repeals the Sherman act, Emin Pasha, Rudyard Kipling has been offered three hundred pounds for three ballads.
– Times are better.  Provided a man has a check that is good, he can get money for it once more without going out at night after it with a picklock.”
– And more smaller artworks, cartoon art, and ads … a very entertaining vintage publication!
– And so much more!  Life humor magazines are great FUN – get ready to grin, giggle and guffaw!
