CONDEMNS COEDUCATION.

SYRACUSE. Oct. l0.-Dr, Ely Van De-
warker prominent physician and member
OF the Syracuse Board Of School Com
missioners, has written a book in which
he condemns the cceducational system
OF American universities Or. Van De-
warker has spent considerable time collect
ing statistics upon which to base his con-
victions. IN dealing with the moral phase
Of the question, he criticises President
Jordan OF Leland Stanford University for
saying that immoral relations do not occur
often enough to be of conse quence. DR..
Van Dewarker says that one such case, If
chargeable to the system, is enough to con-
denn it,
He says that the recent action Of SYRIA
c,sc University in insisting upon separate
boarding houses and placing other
restrictions is an admission that the sys-
tenn Ia faulty. He declares that the
argument that the men are elevated by
the women is not borne out by the facts.
The man always pro vos himself the stronger,
and tho woman initiates even the rougher
sports OF the men. The educational side
of the matter Ia az great a failure, says the
doctor. The old traditional lines on which
colleges we're founded were intended for

VOWiN'S TRUE WORK.
IT Is in Homen,akin<. Not in Business,
Says Alfred Nioscley.

Says Alfred Moscley.
America for tho training of men, but
for the education Of women England
excels, is the opinion which Alfred Moscey,
the English industrial explorer expressed
to Sun reporter one day last week "The
best proof that believe in American schools
and colleges is that have brought both Of
my sons to the United States to be educated:
will send my daughters to school here?
BY no means. My oldest daughter has
completed her schooling. The other two

mothers care, and shall remain there.

brought about the necessity Of working
women. In few isolated cases it s, O.!
for instance, women rival the men In the
work which God intended man to do.
1T is for men to labor and proviie--for
women to make homes and keep them.
The woman's natural kingdom is her home.
She s more powerful there than fighting
shoulder to shoulder with man.
"Englishwomen are the makers OF homes
and in that lies the strength OF the nation.
I believe that women who strain their
minds, who exert all their Efforts to mental
accomplishments, absorb the matter which
should in the secord generation produce

women OF great accomplishment are not

scription-The Materials Also Fetching
Cotton shirt waists are going to be worn
al winter through, even in the frostiest
weather. This Is a much more important
statement than it might seem to be on the
surface, for the wash shirt waist Is not a
mere article Of wearing apparel-it is a
symbol
The symbolism Of the cotton shirt waist in
winter is really neither profound nor ESQ
teric, but very charming. 1t stands for
the American girls point Of view toward
things which are fresh and sweet and whole
some, and just means that she has more
health and good taste than in the past
and far more than most girls OF other
countries have ever had in the past or
present
She prefers the cotton shirt waist in win

life There is hardly day that she is not

And at no season Of the year Is the delight
Of the freshly laundered shirt waist more
appreciated than when heavy outer gar
ment Is crushing and taking the Sweetness
out Of the underwaist. Charming as is tho
wash waist in summer, 1t is a thousand
times more attractive, important and prac-
tical in winter. Fortunately for the sue
cess Of this fad. the very outdoor life that
makes the cotton waist necessity also
renders the American girl vigorous enough
to wear cotton fabrics, regardless Of the
thermometer, without the slightest cost to
her vitality.
