Failure of Co education.

The experiment of co-education of the
sexes in the same school has always been
regarded by large number Of good and
respectable people as of doubtful expedi-
cncy. If not positively objectiona BILE. One
of the schools in which it has been tried

capacity. There are many Of the educa-
tiOnal institutions of this country besides
Adelbert College which are in great need
Of funds. DIR. Haydn found that the
sexes together in the school, or college,
was n bar to his efforts to obtain the need
ed funds and therefore presumably acting
on his advice, the trustees have determined
to abolish co-education ut Adelbert. The
young women now there are to remain,
but they are to recitc apart from the
young men, and no more young women
are to be received. OF course, this action
of the college managers has raiseda storm
of disapprobation among certain class
Of people whose feelings and intentions
are excellent. The young women and
their friends all over the country are de-
nouncing DIR. Haydn. The trustees have
urged the administration of another insti-
tuition, the Western Reserve University,
to join In founding school for young
women, near Adelbert College, some Of
whose professors have promised to lecture
and teach in the proposed new
institution. II would seem that
It Is co-education rather the edu-
cation itself. which the friends of
these young women are seeking. 1t has
been remarked, that If co-education cam
not succeeded at Adelbert College, it is not
easy to perceive where 1t can be carried
on to advantage in any community where
single schools for the sexes are not COM
PEELED by poverty in both money and pop
ulation. At any rate, IL is safe to express
n doubt If all the experience Of past
centuries and the obvious natural dis
tinctions of the two sexes can be prudent
iy set aside as only the product of the
prejudice, ignorance and want of practical
insight Of the wisest and best of all pre-
ceding generations. In advancing from
the tried and safe into the unknown ana
untricd, well-balanced christian common
sense requires that We should move slow.
For some wise reasons God has seen fit to
even If there has been some seeming
partiality towards the latter.

he leaves behind him hardly an anecdote to
be related. Usually when a man dies in

papers quickly pile up by the score the odd
or striking things in his career There is
almost total absence of these stories in the
case of the Chief Justice He had no &c
oentricities, and while his conversation
could be genial and light it was quite de-
void of yarns and "reminiscences. His face
was as plain as his manner and life. 1t was
really homely, yet it was strong and not
unbecoming the mans place. The forehead
was low and quite broad. The eyes were
clear, but tame; the nose was the largest
and best feature; the mouth was uneven
and poorly formed, but still it gave an i'm
preston of strength. Miller looks more like
Supreme Justice than any other member
of the court.
While the late Chief Justices unobtru-
siveness characterized every part of his
life, he yet adorned the bench, according to
universal testimony, and discharged all his
duties faithfully and well.
l am told that the manner of his taking
off fulfilled the earnest wish of the Chief
Justice He hoped aud expected to die
without O warning sting of pain, and to re-
tain his vigoI of mind and body until the
last moment. For years he has been pre-
pared in every earthly sense to die the next
minute. Last Saturday afternoon he rose
from five-hours' consultation with his col
leagues, remarking that he never felt bet
ter in his life. In the evening he walked to
and from a reception. Monday he had a
cold and his physician advised HIM to stay
indoors. Two of his Associates, however,
thought that the force of the telephone de-
cision, which he had written and which
must be read that day, would be weakened
if the Chief Justice should not attend the
court. He went, therefore, and sat it out.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday he kept
his bed, but suffered very little. Friday
morning at dawn a noise in his chamber

He was awake, but assured the attendant
that he was feeling very we'll Half an
hour later the nurse heard sigh, and when
