Of all the fool things in the world I think college for women is the worst. When they graduate from the colleges they cannot write a decent hand. They know nothing about the English language. They are thoroughly ignorant of the things they should know...\", and added, \"Nothing could be better for the girls that are now in the colleges than to be taken out of the colleges and put to hard manual labor for at least a year so that there might be put into their heads some little trace of sense.\"[4]
