Co.elucation OF tho Sexes.


Afess:'S. .Edifors: l noticed an ar
ticle in some newspaper, recently, on
the above subject, and heartily re-
spond to tho writer's views. I have
been an educator in our common
schools since 1868, and although too
aged and old-fashioned to be oil adept
in that department Of instruction,
have become convinced that mixed
schools, AS they are termed, are better
adaptett to enforce discipline and
emulate both sexes to proficiency in
their studies. than separating the sexes.
We have adopted mixed schools in the
country as necessity, anu we'll It is
SO; but know it will require time to
do so ia towns and cities, if ever done,
generally. Our State University, in
stituted ut the cost of the Stalu, Is
restricted TO tho education of males
exclusively. Why this cxclusion2 Has
not the other sex as much right to be
educated Oh the public money as tho
male? Can any unbiased mind draw
the line of demarkatiom2 I must con-
fess can't, unless public opinion. and
old time usage can do 80. We claim
this age as ono Of progress and ell
lightenmcnt, and why not be consist
ent with It?
We orc we'll aware, Mcssrs. Editors,
that tho female mind, or mental calibre,
is equal to the requirement. of knowl.
edge in rs many of It's departments as
that of the male. know it. Why is
it that found last summer al our
Normal institute or school in Columbia
three or four times as many female
| teachers for instruction as malesf The
former, in fact, have becume our edu-
Gators, almost exclusively. Especially
is this tho case in tho country. Then
they should be educated at our Uni.
versity, the only one free Of charge In
tuition In our State, except the one in
Charleston. Nature, in lier wise laws,
has SO ordered it, that the female sex
has not only to bear her offspring, but
to nurture both body and mind to a
certain age. Then she should be etn.

decks being nearly clear of freight and
her magnificent cabins almost free of
travellers. Last evening, however, the
scene changed. The Hays went off with
