LAST year the very strict rule which
forbade the young women students in
the Ottawa Normal School even to rec
ognize the young men students on the
streets were relaxed, and the two sexes
who were being coeducated were per-
mitted to become friends, and the young
men were allowed to call upon the
young women in the evening and keep
company with them. This year there

to their having yielded to the dictates
of sentiment rather than study.
