Woman's Education and Dr Abbott on Roles
Debate over female education contrasts critics who say higher learning harms wife and mother roles with Dr Lyman Abbott who argues education should develop womanhood rather than domestic utility. The Baltimore American notes his view contrasts with many writers. Hope for Central America centers on unifying civil, commercial, and criminal law across five republics under the International Bureau. The Boston Herald cites U S and Mexico as backing these reforms to promote stability and development.
