Bat Heinrich had scarcely crossed the
threshold of the Kings room VIII his
Majesty jumped up and thrust roll of
paper into the young preachers hand.
exclaiming, "IIurra. sir, puff away: take
this for the light you gave me :"
Then, thrawing himself back in a
chair. he laughed heartily at the Young
preachers look of surprise and confusion
The latter scarcely knew what reply to
make or what to do. hut Just as he had
got as far as your Majesty the King
interrupted him. saying, Make no fine
speeches go home quietly and examine
the contents of YOUR paper. You came
to Berlin to seek cousin; you have
found one who, if you go on steadily.

1t is hardly necessary to add that the
roll of paper contained good appoint

Separating the Sexes in Schools.

On this point, Mr. Stow, celebrated
guage -
! "The youth of both sexes of our Scot
tish peasantry have been educated to-
gether. and as a whole, the Scots are the
most moral pHoplc on the face of the
globe. Education in England is given
sep ratcly. and we have never heard
from pr tctical men that any bencf. has
arisen from tins arran2 oment. Some in
t fluential men there mourn over the pop
ular prejudice on this point. In Dub
lin a large number Of girls turn ont ball
ly. who have been Cd lcated alone till
they arrive at the aye of maturity, than
of those who have been otherwise
brought up; the spar tion of the sexes
in youth is productive of fearful evils
1t is stated on good authority, that of
those educated in the schools of converts,
apart from boys, the great majority go
wr ng within a month after being let
loose into society an meeting the other
sex. They cannot it is ssid, resist the
slightest compliment Of fattcry. The
separation is intended to keep them
strictly moral. but this unnatural saclu-
sion actually generates the very pr :
pies desired to be avoided.
We may repeat that it is impossible
to raise girls intellectually as high with
out boys as with them an it is imp3s-
sibc to raise boys morally as high with
out the presence of girls. The girls
morally elevate the boys and the boys
Intellectually elev'te the girls. Bat
more than this, girls themselves are NOR
ally elevated by the presence OF girls =
Girls brought up with boys are more
poslhre1y moral. and boys brought upi
school with girls are more p,sitiaey in
tellectnai by the softening influence of,
the female character.
In the Normal Seminary at Gla gov
the most beneficial effects have resulted
from the more natural cours, Boy |
and girls from the age Of two AMI three
years to fourteen AMI fifteen. have been
trained in the sam, classroom, CALLER .es
and play grounds. without inpgopriety,
and they are never separated except a,
