Facts and Conclusions
Concerning COeduCdtiOn

as freely as boys in the school a mother
was helping to establish to the memory
of her only son. She argued and urged
the matter. Finally she promised her
husband that in the new university if
women students should ever increase
SO that they threatened to drown out
the distinctive technical and scientific
reputation of Leland Stanford. Jr..
university their number should be re-
stricted When there were 500 women
students. Therefore, Mrs. Stanford felt
it was time to keep the promise she had
made to her husband. and so fixed the
limit at that figure. about onethird of
the whole number of students. 1t ap-
plies, however. TO the entering class. so
does not prevent girls from engaging
in any of the higher research and tech
meal work of the institution. President
Jordan concludes: The whole matter
has no significance whatever in rela-
ton to the present criticisms on CO
education.
So far from showing her to be OPP
posed to the emancipation of her own
sex. this explanation proves Mrs. Stan
ford to be that newest of all new wo-
men, the woman who keeps her prom
ises.
The different viewpoints of the west
ern and the extreme eastern portions of
the country on ceeducation are notable.
In the west Coeoucation is a thing of
course. There never has been a thought

Grafton. Many a time coeducation is
won only after a bitter fight. The
rea son is plain. The Atlantic states
were settled before the new woman idea
had taken root. In New England so
recently as the days when Lucy Stone
was a girl there was solemn question
whether the feminine intellect could
comprehend arithmetic beyond the
rule of three Most authorities
thought it could not. The colleges
founded were for men only. Mothers
and sisters wrought with needle, in fac
tory and even at farm work to educate
at college the son of the family, while
the daughters who remained in igno-
rance were held to be doing only their
duty.
Little of that enslaving old notion is
left now, but the eastern colleges and
universities were established mostly
under its sway. The prejudice is out
grown in the minds of all except those
very young male students who fear the
girls will outstrip them in lessons. But
the old buildings are there and all the
one sided living arrangements remain.
To change suddenly would entail much
| expense and inconvenience; therefore

these institutions remain for the present
as they are. Doubtless there are, too,
some ancient college professors and
trustees who must drop out before the
change to full coeducation takes place
in the old institutions.
Meantime what is to be can be judged
from facts and figures as laid before
us in chapter %. Oberlin college, Ohio,
was the first to admit women, in 1893.
Even it did not include them entirely
in its course, but merely allowed girls
the privileges of such departments ''as
shall best suit their sex and prospective

wedge. In 1880. 51.3 per cent of the col
leges of the country had adopted the
coeducational system By 1890 the per

education in the northwestern states
and the pioneer mothers who had
packed up the children and gene to
western wiids with their husbands had
no thought but that their girls were
equally entitled with their boys TO the
benefit of the school fund. And there
was no time or money to waste build
ing separate schoolhouses for the sexes
so in they went together and so ii is to
this day. The report tells us that wher-
ever coeducatio has been tried the APP
prehensions respecting its effects have
been 6ispelled.
In respect to public schools the
United States stands at the head of ma
TONS and its system is coeducat ional.
So noted is the system that educators
from all other civilized countries come
here to study it. a the same time it is
to be noted that women instructors
comprise three-fourths of the whole
body of teachers. To be noted also is

somehow they are also full of hope and

exactly the mind of Commissioner Har-

of higher education for women. but like

An impression prevails that there is

evidence as follows:
1T should be observed with respect to

that rumors of a reaction in sentiment
which from time to time arise have al

sroundless."

starr Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr,
university explaining how it is that
the number of women students in that
institution has been limited to 500 by
order of Mrs. Stanford herself. This
has been taken to mean antagonism to
women students. From President Jor-
dams note one is glad to learn that this
is not so. 1t arises from a promise to
and a compromise made with Senator
Stanford himself by his wife. the lady
who now controls the school. Before
Senator Stanford founded the ipstitu-
ton he talked all his plans over with
his wife. He desired to have the uni
versity largely school of technical sci
| entific training. To the carrying out of
| this plan he thought the admission of
women students would be detrimental
because he feared it would tend to
detract from the specialized and tech
nical aims of the institution. as the de-
mands of women students are more dis
tinctively in the line of general Gull
ture.''
Mrs. Stanford however. stood UP
manfnlly for her own sex. 1t was an
idea beloved of her soul that girls
should drink of the waters of learning

Girls haven't so many rights when

right they have-the right to be taken

marry and be as worldly wise as they
