Prof. d. u. Sl0sson, OF the University
OF Wyoming. gives some good reasons
In the Independent for the existence
Of coeducatiOnal colleges. He not only
admits that the throwing together Of
young men and women at college en-.
cOurages marriage, but no further as.
serts that 1t leads to wiser marriages
than those promoted by the ballroom
and the ordinary society methods. The
statistics Of Bryn Mawr, a college for
women, show that only SO Of the 234
graduates up to 1904 have married. or
only IA per cent. Figures from the Uni.
yersity of Kansas, a cOeducatiOnal In.
stitutlOn, show that of the 1870 women
graduates up to 1904 Us have married,
or 30 per cent Thirty.One Of the sixty.
i've married fellow students, indicating
that prOpinlulty Is good match max.
or. Prof. SlOssOn sums up the case by
saying: III you want young people to
marry let them be together; II yOu'don't
want them to marry keep them apart"
He Is undoubtedly correct In saying
that the enforced isolation Of the sexes
during the most lmpresslOnable age
tends strongly toward permanent cell
bacy. While one cannot quite approve
OF the catalogue of Western college
that asserted there were more happy
marriages among Its students than In
any other institution In the country,
there Ii no denying that the healthful
association OF young men and women
ut college 10 a normal and desirable
way OF educating the sexes to know
ard appreciate each other. As the main
object In view is education, the path ia
matrlmony Is through platonic friend,
ship instead Of through filrtation. II
the marriages, even In c0educatiOnal
college. are fewer than In outside socie
~, they are at least founded on the real
tiles of mutual knowledge rather thar
on the Illusions Of ignorance, and sci
dom lead to divorce.

The scientific tests Of child capacity
conducted by special committee Of
the Chicago Board Of Education, Of
which l,r. w. 8. Christopher IL chair.
man, have yielded results that fully
sustain the contention that school
boards can no longer afford to ignore
the connection between child's intel.
lectuality and his physical condition.
1t has been the practice Of the schools
from the time Of their origin to jam all
the children Of a certain age Of both
sexes through a fixed and infexib.c
course Of study, regardless Of their DIFF.
fering capacities or physical powers Of
endurance. the Investigations conduct
cd by DR.. Christopher's committee tend
to confirm the opinion Of many Of our
leading educators that school children
should be graded according to physica!
characteristics and mental capabilities
instead Of according to age. The re.
suits Of these tests also raise the ques.
ton as to whether school authorities
are not committing a grave blunder In
requiring girls to carry In the school
work, after certain age, tho same
burdens that IRE put upon boys of the
same age. In the experiments with
the ergogrnph, or child fatigue testing
machine. It was found that the girl OF
10 or II had far less endurance power
than the boy Of the same age, while
from to 0 years Of age the endurance
power Of the girl was the same as that
Of the boy. 1t was also clearly demon.
strated that height and weight were i'm.
portant factors In determining the men.
tut capacity Of a child. A child Of
healthful intellectual capacity was
found to be OF normal weight for Its
age. While the conditions under which
the common school system Is maintain.
cd obviously to preclude the adoption
of separate courses Of study exactly
suited to each individual capacity, It Is
manifestly the duty OF school boards
to modify, SO far as possible. the sys.
tens of grading SO as to get into one
grade the children who are best fitted
to carry on the work Of that grade, re.
CARELESS Of their ages.
The experiments OF DR.. christopher
are therefore In the right direction, and
their results can not fail to reveal rad.
ical errors In our system Of public edu.
cation, the greatest defect Of which Ia
its failure to take proper account of
the differing capacities Of children OF
the same age.

Office at Ottawa, Canada, Mr.. Smart
made the statement that there is now
very little homestead land in the Unit
ed States, and the man who seeks for
tune in that way must now look else
where. 1t fortunately happens that we
nave right at our very door an oppor-
tunity for acquiring land or getting
into lucrative business of some kind
that is equal 20 any even offered in
this country. Some years ago the
people of the United States were ac-
customed TO see Canada figure on the
maps as long narrow strip of land,
with scattered villages and towns
along the st. Lawrence and great
lakes. lt is hard, therefore, 10 realize
that n rival nation, with territory
vastly larger than the whole United
States, has risen upon our northern
border and has set about making a
great future for itself, building fac
tories, leveling mountains, filling up
the valleys, bridging rivers, digging
new and charging old canals, con
structing thousands OF miles of rail
ways to bind together its territories
and carry the fruit OF the earth to
distant market and make easy OF ac-
cess it's enormous resources of timber,
mines and agricultural lands.
Since the accession TO power OF a
