Both Sexes in the Same School
We publish this morning an attractive
article upon the subject Of teaching both
sexes in the same school--a rule that has
been adopted ID St. Louis, and found to
be very successful, according to the re-
port OF the Superintendent of Education
in that city. 1t will be observed that
there are some important advantages
gained by this system, in the opinion of
th.s teachers. There seems TO be o whole
sone restraint exer5ed upon both boys
and girls by being in the presence OF
each otLer.
In days before steam and rail reyolu-
tioaized the land girls and boys won't to
the same schools in the country, and we
know that the gen tier sex were always
reaied with Difference and respect. Ii
those schools many of the best people Of
the land received all the education they
ever had, and in them the men of the
most gallant age we have seen had their
first lessons in gallantry. 1t was in just
such school that Andrew Jackson re-
ceived his education, and he vas the most
graceful anu gallant man in ladies soc iety
of his times.
The subject is one Of especial interest.
We trnst that the expedient Of teach ing
both sexes in tie same school may be
tried elsewhere than in ST. Louis. The
testimony there is such as 10 make it
very desirable that the rule should be
fnrlher tested.-RichnaOnd Dispatch.
