SEPARATING THE SEXES IN
SCHOOL,.

|
On this point, Mr.. Stowe, celebrated
Glasgow teacher, uses the following Ian.
guage :-''The youth of both sexes of our
Scottish peasantry have been educated to-
gether; and as a whole, the Scotch are
the most moral people on the earth
Education in England is given separately,
and we never have heard from practical
men that any benefit has arisen from this
arrangement. Some influential individuals
there mourn over the prejudice on this
point. In Dublin, larger number of girls
turned out badly who had been educated
alone until they attained the age of ma
turity, than of those who were otherwise
brought up;--the separation of the sexes
had thus been found to be injurious. 1t
is stated on the best authority that of
those girls educated in the schools of con-
vents, apart from boys, the greater ma
jority go wrong within month after be-
ing let loose in society, and meeting the
other sex, They cannot, it is said, resist
the slightest compliment or fattery. The
is intended to keep them strict
.ly moral; but this unnatral seclusion ac-
tually generates the very principles de-
sired to be avoided. We may repeat that
it is impossible to raise the girls as high,
Intellectually without boys as with them
-and it is impossible 30 raise boysmoral-
ly as high without girls. The girls NOR
ally elevate the boys, and the boys intel
lectually elevate the girls. But more than
this-girls themselves are morally elevated
by the presence of boys, and boys are in
tellcctually elevated by the presence of
girls. Girls brought up with boys are
more positively moral, and boys brought
up in schools with the girls are more posi-
lively intellectual, by the softening in
huence of the female character. In the
Normal Seminary at Glasgow, the most
beneficial effects have resulted from the
more natural course. Boys and girls,
from the age of two or three years to that
Of fourteen or fifteen, have been trained
in the same classroom, galleries and play
grounds, without impropriety and they
are never separated, except at needle
work.

Tho result of my observation enables me
to state, as fact, thatthe publishers ofnews-
papcrsare more poorly rewarded than any
class Of men in the United States, who ia-
vests unequal amount of labor, capital and
thought. They are expected to do more
service for less pay to stand more spong-

more people without fee or hope of reward,
than any other class. @
They credit wider and longer; get ofens

oftener the victims of misplaced c5ahfddence,
than any other calling in the community
People pay printers bill more reluct-
aantly than any other. 1t goes hard with
them to expend dollar on valuable ncwss
paper, than ten on needless gew- gaw; yet
evry-body ayails himself Of the use Of the

gorgeous apparel, and now as the last rays
Of the setting sun gilded the topmost

thought was too deep for utterance. As
we gazod in silent admiration, memory of
joys long gone by, Of hopes once as bright,
as beautiful, rose wildly before us with
the solemn truth This is too beautiful to

brightest of these scenes. On those golden
clouds, on that many tinted foliage Even
