cupid vs.. co-EducatIon.
New York World.

There Is a crisis In the cause Of co-edu-
cation in the great Northwestern univer-
sity of Chicago. When President Harper's
sweet girl graduates were lined up on
the platform last Friday two of them an
nounced, amid college yells indescribable
and cheering tumultuous, that they would
shortly crown the glory of their diplomas
with marriage certificates.
The transition from Bachelors Of Arts
to Queens Of Homes does not necessarily
imply the failure of co-education. The
Northwestern ''co-eds'' number loo, and
that two Of them should cast the laurels
of learning at the feet Of Cupid is not a
formidable proof Of the matrimonial perils
of co-education. Yet the university senate
Is considering the expediency of abolish
ing mixed classes and ''sequestering' the
girl students in class rooms where no man
shall be allowed to intrude. The freshmen
and freshwomen have held by a large ma
jority against the project TO 'sequester
the sexes
Practically IT matters little how the con-
troversy ends. Co-education in the fullest
sense cannot be suppressed by college
rules. II is a part of the scheme of things,
has been so since Adam and Eve studied
horticulture together in Eden, and viii be
so until the human race is extinct.
Higher education for men or women is
not an end in itself, but only a means to
an end. The highest usefulness, the no
blest occupation of women must always
be as queens OF the home. And the more
fully and freely they share with men the
advantages of liberal education the better
fitted they will be for their supreme mis-
sion.

BULLET IN BABES BRAIN.

nine-year-old brother May 5th with q small

their fathers farm near WautOma.
An examination showed the bullet had en-
tered the little fellows forehead on the left
He did not recover consciousness, and after
two days the doctors advised the father, F.
G. Wagner, to send the boy to st. Joseph 8
Hospital, in Milwaukee, where an X-ray
brought here, and DR.. D. J. Hayes. the physi-
clan In charge had no hope OF saving him.
For a week the child remained unconscious,
but meanwhile an X-ray picture was taken
and the exact location OF the bullet determined
II was in the rear Of the boys brain, about
two inches from the skull. A fragment Of
the bullet was taken from the forehead, but
according to the modern idea Of surgery the
bullet was allowed to remain in the brain. as Il
is believed best not to extract a bullet IL Il
does not cause blood poisoning.
The little fellow was closely watched. and
every day physicians who were interested In
the outcome, but who predicted death az the
end visited the hospital and saw the boy.
~ waited for the expected news OF his son 3
death, which never came. Finally he began
to hope, and a few days ago received word
that he could come after his boy. At the
yesterday morning with Emil In his arms, over
200 people crowded around 10 see the boy and
to welcome him back home.
DR.. Hayes, In speaking OF the case last
night, said that IN the case OF Emil Wagner
the bullet had failed to cut any Of the i'm

that he Is alive.
