To the Editor Of the Press:
have bean somewhat irritated by the
pretty general aequiescsnoe In an article
In the Current Harvard Monthly BY Prof.
Wendell, on Co-Education at Harvard.
and as an ex-Harvard correspondent pre-.
sent to you summary of Prof. Wendell
as topic OF possible acceptance.
Professor Wendell writes upon the rela-
tions Of Radcliffe college with Harvard.
He POINTS out that until 1894, there had
been no Official connection between the
two institutions, although since 1879
Harvard Instructors had been engaged
to give instruction in the Harvard An
mex. But in 1894 an act of the AIsssa-
chusetts Legislature conferred upon the
Annex the name Of Radcliffe college with
iull collegiate powers. but no degree
could be conferred without the approval
of the president and fellows Of Harvard
college.
Since that time the colleges have drawn
more closely together. By resolution OF
the board Of overseers Radcliffe students
were to be admitted to any graduate
courses In Harvard at the discretion of
the president and fellows; and such
courses were double starred in the Rad
cliffe lists. Such courses to the number
OF 90 are this year marked with double
dagger In the Harvard announcements
The practice Of admitting Radcliffe stu
dents to Harvard courses, thinks Profess
sor Wendell, Ia likely to leave Harvard
committed to co-sducation In much the
same way that an unwary man renders
himself liable for breach Of promise.
The principle is affirmed hostile to the
one unbroken tradition that Harvard Ia

Mr.. A. G. Robinson. the correspondent
of the New York Post In the Philippines
makes practically the same report about
Gen. Otis that Admiral Dewey did. He
is trying to run the whole business in
Luzon personally. Work which SO a
week clerk could do well enough he insists
upon attending to himself. The result of
his programme is that business gets SO
far behind hand that 1t is impossible to
catch up with IL. Hence confusion
and general dissatisfaction all around.

The extension of the Lewiston water
works system to Lake Auburn, is task
OF considerable magnitude. The ditch is
about feet doep in places and reaches a
quioksand where the men have to work
with much care. One of the men got
stuck so firmly, one day last week, that
he had to be hoisted out by the derrick. 1t
will be necessary to go out into Lake
Auburn for $50 feet and build a Golfer
dam the entire distance, that the work
of laying the main and filters may be ac-
complished.

SUSANNE'S AUCTION.
THE SAD STORY OF AN INIPERTI-
NENT LITTLE GIRL.

Susanna is no longer an infant-she is al
most years old; but she is strangely OBJ
stlnate. once she says anything, with
or without reason, she insists on It. She
has another fault-she will climb on the
furniture no matter how often she has
been told not to.
The other day she was in the parlor and
her mother saw her climb up to table on
which was a vase Of flowers.
Look out" cried mamma, you will
break that vasep'
"If break 1t win pay for IT," an
swered Susanna. She had heard this
from the cook next door when her mis-
tress had told her to be careful. Hardly
were the words out of Susanne's mouth
when the chair on which she had climbed
slipped and Susanne, the vase in a hum
dred pieces, and the chair were on the
floor. At this critical moment who should
come into the parlor but papa.
Susannes mamma told him all about IL
and he said: well, Susanna must pay for
Il unless she begs mammals pardon for
answering her so" But Susanna only
pursed her lips.
Mamma said: Come, now, Susanna, beg
my pardon" but sne said not a word.

afternoon tomorrow. then we can have
