Co-Fducation at Athens.

The favorable report Of the house edu-
catiouai committee on the bill for opening
the doors OF the State University TO .wo-
men is sufficient to greatly strengthen the
movement In behalf Of the higher educa-
ton OF women in this state. II the move
ment is pressed vigorously. ard with judg-
ment the bill will be passed IN all prob
ability.
There is Of course opposition TO the bill,
but the reasons upon which the opposition
is based are not very strong ones. The
members Of the committee who oppose
the bill say in their report, among other
things. that co-eiucation would be dan
gerous to the best interests Of
Georgia. inasmuch as it threat
ems 10 disOrganize the excellent
system OF education existing in
the state, and disturb the social conditions
that have hitherto caused our women to
grace and adorn every community where
;hoy have shed their benehcient infiu-
ence"
We are at loss to see how the admitting
Of women to the State University would
"disorganize the excellent system Of ed
ucation existing in the state There is
no good reason for thinking 1t would have
a damaging effect upon our present sys-
tenn Of education or that It would disturb
social conditions. Co-education exists in
many of the states and In some Of the
most advanced of the European countries,
and it doesn't appear to interfere in the
least with existing systems of education
where it has been introduced and it
doesn't disturb social conditions. Why
should it have an effect here different
from that which it has elsewhere
If women should be permitted to be-
come students at the State University all
the girls in the state who have not COM
peted their education wouldn't hasten
there The probabilities are that compar-
atively few of them would seek the ad-
vantages of the university. for the first
few years. Only women who have reached
years of discretion and who seek higher
education to assist them in their chosen
life work would go there. After the nov
city Of their appearance there had worn
off their presence would attract no espe-
cial attention. They wouldn't overturn
the present system of education nor would
they disturb existing social conditions.
The south is very conservative. 1t &C
cepts changes in the established order of
things very slowly. The changes come,
however, Notwithstanding the opposition
which crops out when the effort to intro
duce them is made.
It has not been so very long since 1t was
said all over the south that southern wo-
men would never ride the bicycle. They
are riding 1t, and in such numbers as TO
suggest the question whether the wheel
is not more popular among the women of
the south than among the women Of the
north.
Open the university to women. Let
those of them who want it's benefits have
them They are entitled to them. Coed
ucation has proved to be successful else
where and there is no good reason why 1t
shouldn't be in Georgia. 1t can be safely
said that none of the evils which the
minority members of the committee on
education fear would ever become appar-
pnt.
