Progress. Of Coeaueatian.

DIR. Andrew Sloan Draper, president
OF the University OF Illinois, asserts
that the policy OF coeducation is now
In the vast majority In America. Ii is
universal I'm the elementary schools.
All but II out OF 62S cities use IL in
the secondary and high schools, and OF
CAT colleges 1877 are open TO men only.
l02 to women only and 1886 TO both
men and women. DIR. Diapers opinion
on the question OF coeducation is that
men and women supplement- each 9th
er, that each supplies the factors In
thought and endeavor, I'm directions
and stability, in force and progress.
which the other lacks, and that the
great accomplishments In human socI-
ETY. have been worked out by men and
women OF character working In CO.
operation. We have practical demon.
stration OF coeducation. and the re.
suits are good, and 1t Is not for us now
to turn the hands back on the great
dial which registers the progress of
democratic institutions"

ninety-five years who has wife OF
twenty-one, while three husbands rang.
Ing In age from eighty-flve TO ninety

Elderly wives and youthful husbands
are rnrer, and the greatest disparity in

Flight OF Btra..

Interesting facts as to flight of birds
have resulted from a long series OF OBJ
servations. whose general results have
recently been published.
An eagle was observed by Hergesseii
OF Strassburg TO fly at height OF 8, 900
feet.
A lark was detected at an altitude of
LOCO feet Aeronauts have encountered
crows as high as 400 feet from the
earth.
These, however, are exceptional al
dtudes for birds to attain. As a rule.
a,3OO feet seems to be the limit
The German Ornithoiogical society
has been conducting experiments with
pigeons and finds that when liberated
ut height OF 1900 feet down to as 1t.
tie as 200 feet they drop rapidly to a
much lower region OF the atmosphere.

Ministers, Salaries

The ministry is a vocation that calls
for higher standards of scholarship
and greater capacity for leadership and
sacrifice than ever before. AS the
wornout preachers who have saved
nothing must go upon the roll OF an
nuittcs and add TO the burden of the
churches. would 1t not be better policy
to pay them larger salaries In the 6iays

Mr.. John s. Sargent. the artist, some
times tells of ludicrous mistake he
once made which brought home to him
the need OF verifying details. At the
request OF the trustees OF the Boston
library he painted some scenes on one

Vixen the werk was finished and

his Hebrew Inscription read. Thou art

Joy OF Helping Others.


Moral application: Do not try 10
build the temple of happiness out of
yellow bricks. Think not that the
broad highway which leads to the
throne room OF Joy is always lined with
appiauding and vociferating multi
tudes. The ground mole may tunnel
his way into gold mine, but he still
remains ground mole. The bat, fly
Ing about In the darkness, may be able
TO push his claws into trembling mems
pockets. but he il still nothing but a
hateful bat
Envy and covetousness also lead to
suicide. The unwillingness to love our
neighbors as ourselves is one of the
indirect causes OF this dreadful sin.
Two ways OF looking at this old world
the one Is through the green glasses
Of envy, the result unheppiness; the
other way is through the sanctified
crystals OF tender. Ii holy love, tia
result gospel joy. The one way Is to
bitterly bemoan because some people
are supposed TO be better of than we
are. The other way Is 10 try to find
out how many people are worse OF
sAuh VIZ uAt uHu tutu WIKI CHRISTIAN
desire try to help them as we would
like TO be helped II we were In their
places. Through what kind of lenses
have you been scrutlnizing the human
race? Through the green glasses of
envy. which make al the world look
dark. or through the Clear, transparent
crystals OF gospel love, which always
make all the world look bright? No hap
by man ever wanted to commit suicide.
No man can be truly unhappy who Is
trying 10 help his fellow man. When
he finds that he Is making others hap
py. their joys become part Of his joys.
The suicidal knife Is blunted upon
the milestone OF kindness and love
and self sacrifice for another reason:
When Christian earnestly consecra tea
his life to helping his follow men he Is
amazed how many troubles are piled
at his neighbOr's door and. instead Of
repining at his lot. thanks God for the
