IN FAVOR oFTitE aiLl'
Mr.. Dean took the iioor at 4too p. NJ. 70
respond to Mr.. Lucas and TO advocate the
bill. lie spoke, nrst, OF co.educauon as q
theory; second, OF ce-education inpractice,
and It's record third, oil co.edueaton IN
the West Virginia University. Inc ldea
Of the intcriority OF women, he said,
originated in barbara countries and
barbaric times. AS humanity progresses
and advances, this idea is discarded and
laid aside. Coeducati n is natural and
right, and restrictive education unnatural.
The intermingling OF tho sexes is the
rational order. II is the order in homes
and in society. 1t Is the practice in the
common schools and It is the economical
and beneticent method in education.
This is not q theoretical, but a practical
question. Tho authorities quoted by MIR.
Lucas were largely persons who had never
tried coedpcation.
Pending Afr. Deans remarks, the hour
for recess arrived, and the House took a
recess until 1880 p. N.
After the recess Mr.. Dean resumed his
remarks. He referred to many UNIVERSE
ties in Europe, speaking in some instances
from personal kno%ieqse, Mi a.t eoeuuc sa
