Twenty-Five years ago any one who
had ventured to predict that the young
woihen in coeducational colleges would
come to outnumber the young men
would have been regarded as a poor
prophet; yet that condition promises
soon to be realized in many UNIVERSE
ties; for the number of women stu
dents increases faster than that of the
men. The changed conditions have
led in some cases to repressive meas
ures. College presidents find that the
young men are not attracted to an in
stitutiOn in which the women are
equal or superior in numbers to them
selves. Athletics, no doubt, has some
thing to do with this, but there are
other reasons. 1t has been found that
in some colleges the girls show a ten
dency to monopolize certain groups Of
studies, notably English literature, and
the boys come to look upon that part
Of the curriculum as girls studies,"
and to avoid it, which is unfortunate
for both sexes. The social relations of
the young men and the young women,
and particularly the housing, are also
a problem which becomes more diff
cult as the number Of students in
creases. A successful solution involves
large expense, and few of the State
universities, in which coeducation is
most prominent, have great financial
resources. The discussion has led to a
number Of experiments. In the Uni
yersity of Chicago segregation" has
been adopted. Women are still admit
ted as freely as men, and will receive
the same education, but under the con-
ditions which render them students of
what is almost separate institution.
In Leland Stanford University the
number Of women Is limited to thirty
five per cent Of the whole number of
students. Whatever may be the out
come of the discussion, the young
women need not fear that the doors of
the temple Of learning will be closed
to them. They have shown too plain
ly that they want education, and have
demonstrated too Enthusiastically their
ability to get it on equal terms with
their brothers, Conditions may be
changed, but their opportunities will
not be lessened.

1901 is IA per cent, that for the three
years yields the startling percentage
of IS, or more than half as many more.
Another remarkable fact is noted in
the larger proportion of women among
the suicides. Previous to 1902 the ratio
among suicides was five men to one
woman. But last year there were three
times as many women as for the year
before, making the ratio five men to
three women. Among the known causes
for suicide dependency ranks first,
about one-tenth are traced to do

A GOOD TIME.

One of the most pleasant sessions of
the Women of Woodcraft that has
oeen held for long time was that
last night at the Elks hall. There
was an exceptionally large attendance
and every lady who went was glad
she had done so. There was initia-
tion and number of candidates were
balloted upon and elected to member
ship. while several applications were
read before the lodge.
After the session. the lodge went
into the hands of an entertainment
committee. and for nearly two hours
fun and pleasant time generally
abounded. There was literary pro-
gram prepared generously sprinkled
with musical selections. both vocal
and instrumental. and the numbers
were all enjoyed.
One of the leading features of the
evening however. was a demonstra-
tion of mind reading in several forms

Family Needed
Fuel and Food.

Mayor Sampliner. in his official ca
pacity. gets quite large number of
letters every day. Some of the letters
bear the signatures of the writers
while others are simply signed with
fictitious names. This morning he
received letter from a woman signed
Mrs. W. stating that there was a
family in very hard circumstances and
that they needed fuel and food. The
writer stated that this family would
not accept anything from the county
or city. as they would rather starve
first. Now when people are in actual
what they should not harbor such
false pride as was exhibited in the
letter which Mayor Sampliner received
this morning. The writer stated that
she was friend of the family. If
such is the case and she has their
welfare at heart she should make it
duty to tell the people who are suff-
ering that it is not right that they
should be afflicted with such pride.
Mayor Samplincr attended to the mat
ter and sent some supplies to the fam
lily at once. AS he stated this is not
the time to figure too long over such a
proposition, with the weather condi-
tions as they are.
