The most serious difficulty encoun-
ter~d in the process of co-education Is
said to be that boys will not go to
colleges where the girls are in the ma
Jority or where feminine influence pre-
dominates. For such cases the attempt
to force co-education without limits
might have the singular result of es-
tablishing an exclusive feminine col
lege, thinks the Christian Register.

a state or territory in the whole Union
in which there are not more bachelors
of 20 years Or over than spinsterS
of the same age Even Massachusetts,,
which is particularly blessed with sin
gle blessedness, can furnish a husband
for every one of it's unmarried maids
and still have some left for the divor-
Gees and widows. And in most states
lamentahle In the whole country, in
Guiding Alaska, there are 6,726,779 eli
gible bachelors who shoulder at least
ere of an age to-marry, and for them
there are only 4,195,446 spinsters. One
expects to find a large number of un-
married bachelors in the newer states
and territories Of the west-they have
not yet time to get their women out
there-but it is surprising to find such
differences in the older eastern states
The difference in Rhode Island is a
little over 1000, and IS to the other
New England states, where the spin
ster is supposed to flourish particular
1y we'll, we find that Maine has 1900
more bachelors than spinsters, New
Hampshire 5000, Vermont nearly TO-.
900, Massachusetts, 5000 and Connect
cut all but 10000. These figures are
fairly typical of the east. Concerning
the west, however, the wonder is that
any spinster can escape matrimony
and live to see her twentieth birthday.
In California there are 100000 bache-
lors that cannot be supplied with wives
for lack of spinsters. In Idaho there
are only 1856 spinsters to supply
wives for %, 421 unmarried men. Wash
ington is called on to supply wives for
90. Ola men, and has a stock of only
1913 spinsters. And SO it goes. the
worst of it being that the disparity be-
tween the bachelors and spinsters is
greater today than it was 10 years
ago. The moral of this is that bache-
lors in the United States must look
sharp or they will will remain bache-
lors to the end Of the story

The forces making for municipal
progress are increasing in number and
efficiency from year to year, and the
more hopeful tone taken by reformers
of the outlook is undoubtedly due to
this fact. When we recall the fact
that ten years ago there was but a
handful of municipal reform organi-
cations, and those mostly confined to
the Atlantic seaboard, with the posi-
bic exception of one or two in Chi
cago, and that there was not a single
national body devoted to the study or
the attempt to solve the complicated
and difficult municipal problem, we
can see the great change and the great
progress that has been made.
states the Boston Transcript. Now
there are, roughly speaking, according
to the figures of the National Munich
pal League, 500 local reform bodies,
not counting village improvement So
cieties. and five vigorous, aggressive
national bodies concerned in various
phases of the municipal question.
