SOCIAL THOUGHTS
***Written By Mohendra Nath Dutta (Younger Brother Of Swami Vivekananda)
To improve and uplift a nation, the women should come to the forefront in every sphere of activity. Besides the other lines of action, the editorial profession should be insisted on. A daily or weekly newspaper should be started by women toilers (The name of the paper should be "Nari-Abhyudaya"). From the editor-in-chief down to the compositor, all will be women. Social improvement of women will be the main topics of writing. Religious controversies should be a minor point in social life. The press staff will be composed of the Hindu, Mohamedan and Christian women. The whole aim will be how to improve the status of women in oriental countries. The topics will be above religion but purely socialistic.
In case of editorial aberrations the offence should not be handled by police magistrates. The Court of Editors will judge the offence. The punishment will be the suspension of the paper from three to six issues. Every province should have a Court of Editors. It is not a criminal offence but difference of opinions.
In case of academical discrepancy, Court of Senate will try the case. The dignity of the students must be maintained in every way. The police or the police magistrate must not be called in to check down discrepancies.
The Senate should be composed of members, half of which should be women. As the women students are fast increasing, the members of Senate will be women by half the number. Women pro- fessors and lecturers should be encouraged. The University exam- iners will be women by half the number. The nation must have a bold front. The women will be put into the forefront in every sphere of activity.
