As TO CoEDuCATIoN .

The editor OF the School Review. pub
nshed by the Chicago University, has
taken strong ground, in criticism of the
coeducation of boys and girls, in schools
conceived and maintained with the object
alwa VS. in view ofturning out accomplished
males. He argues that history knows no
formal education but male education, and
that when girls came to be considered as
having inteIIects and capacities worthtrain-
Ing and developing, they were let into
boys schools from sheer necessity. The
curriculum, designed and arranged to give
boys The best preparation for their future
work in life as males, does not necessarily
give equal benefit to those whose future
vocations or pursuits as females, must be
different.
Women as a class do not dc, and do not
want to do, the same things 4 men," but
ne asserts that they are graduated from
the boys schools Just as male as possible,
fitted mainly for, and often craving after,
some masculine pursuit"
Altogether. it seems to bc serious ques-
ton whether the secondary or collegiate
education that men get, is the very best
that women may ever aspire to, as ad-
iuStei TO their particular capabilities and
Limitations
The morning times., 1897-01-30
THEY APED JOHN DREW
The Boston Chappies Even Sacr flced
Their Mustaches for Him.

John Drew has been seen mostly in
modern clothes, OF irreproachable fit and
cut. He has been accounted one OF the
best dressed men on the American stage,
and for that reason the ''cbappies,'' be-
sides adniring him as an actor, always
visit his performance two or three times
in order to get points.
Three years ago Henry Guy Cartons
comedy, The Butterflies" had its first
production in Boston. Mr. Drew was the
star. The ''chappies'' We're all on hand,
with their trousers turned up, their canes
held wrong side up, and their little derby
hats. When Drew made his first ap-
pearance sigh went over the masculine
portion OF the audience. II was noticed
that his trousers were turned down over
his instep. When the first act was over
the chappies retired TO various dark corners
and turned down their trousers (which not
only had been made TO turn up, but which
had never been turned down before)
In the second act Drew carried 70 cane
and he wore description OF tie absolutely
new When that act was over there were
whole canes and fragments of canes scat
tered up and Gown the street outside the
"chappies'' Were even endeaY oring TO re-
tie their neckwear in the new style
The crash came IN thethirti act when Mr.
Drew appeared in an Alpine hat That car
ried CONSERVATION to their hearts, but one,
more enterprisiBg than the others, delib-
erately smashed his stiff derby into the
nearest approach TO an Alpine that couIds
be made in the interval.
Rosemary" in which Mr.. Drew plays
thep part of an English barOnet so admirably,
rather oyercamc the chappies when he pre-
sented 1t recently in Eoston. They were
hardly ready toput on tight fitting buckskin
breeches and bo1ts. But MFR, Drew had sac
rificed his mustache to the exigencies of
his part. 1t is a well lknown fact that
barber in certain fashionable club in Pos-
ton has since then shaved off several mus
tacheS, Van Dyke boards and other hirsute
adornmentsof more or less prominence.

II appears that there were twent -four
accidental deaths from asphyXiation in
Boston during S96, or more than one-third
OF the total number of such deaths for an
inclusive period Of eighteen years.
This increased mortality is said TO have
happened coincidendy with the intro
duction Of water gas. DR.. Wood, of the
Harvard Medical School, states that wa.er
gas, as rule, contains about 40 to 50
per cent Of hydrogen, 80 TO 40 per cent of
carbonic oxide, and about % per cent Of
petroleum or naphtha gas. Carbonic oxide
Is very active poison, one volume of
which, diffused through one hundred vol
umes of air, Will render it unfit to sustain
life. There was some chance to restore
patients suffering from coal gas aspbyXia-
ton; but the deadly carbonic oxide does
its work 50 thoroughly and rapidly as gen
orally TO battle medical effort.
