Is co-Edueation a EqiIre2

Owing to the step taken by the Chi
cago University in the segregation of
the women students, and the rumor
that the Northwestern University is
about to pursue a similar course, the
public has been brought seriously to
consider the question whether coed
ucation is a failure. Some disputants
are taking the ground that it is, and
some are vehemently protesting that
it is not.
The truth of the matter is probably
this: Action and reaction are equal
and in opposite directions. They also
alternate with fair regularity in the
affairs of this world. A generation
ago, owing 70 somewhat peculiar con-
ditiOns, there was a strong movement
in favor of co-education. It won its
way in the face of strong protests
from an opposing party Of conserva-
tives. Now the movement has lost its
strength, and there is a reaction in
favor OF the separate education Of
men and women, all the stronger be-
cause of the fact that there has been
time to see the defects Of the other
regime
There is one strong reason for CO.
education, especially in colleges and
universities, which still holds. and
must continue to hold. in this coun-
try That reason is the lessening OF
expense. Where girls and boys are
educated together there is an immense
