claims, the worlds supply of cot

acreage reduction is wrong and
should be substituted by an in
crease. On the other hand, if.
there is too much cotton grown,
as surmised by the grower, and
sustained by every appearance Of
truth, and the surplus is being
used, and can be used at the pleas

to club the life dut Of cotton
values and leave the grower with
his pains for his profits, then
acreage reduction is not wrong,
but a duty the grower owes to the
successful prosecution of his bust

growers cause, and endeavor to
aid rather than retard the right

Noman's Scholarship.

II
Coeducation is resulting in the
intellectual humiliation of men.
In the class rooms of almost every
college and university where the
joint instruction of both sexes is
a permanent feature the feminine
students have been exceiling their
masculine rivals, and at maiori=
ty of the. commencement day cere-
monies which are now close at
hand the girl graduate will practi-
cally monopolize the honors in
scholarship.
The superiority of the young
woman student over her athletic
brother in the duties for which
colleges are endowed seems now
to be an established fact. In or
der that the question might not be
considered from any limited local
point of view or judged by isolat-
ed instances, the Record Herald
has collected statistics relating to-
the comparative scholarship of.
men and women 10 the undergrad-
uaIe liberal arts department of
sixteen prominent coeducational
Institutions, North, South, East
and West. The result is truly
surprising. In one graduating
class alone have the men excelled
the women and this event caused
general surprise among the facul-
ty of that particular university.
In two or three of the others the
data were not yet available, but
everything pointed toward the u.s.
ual victory of Che women. Ia all
the others the eternal feminine
was overwhelmingly triumphant.

ing out of excessive supply, most
demoraIizing in its effects on
their interests. But, as stated in
former communications on this
subject, these rules are not hide
bound in their application. The
cotton association does not regard
them in any other light than as
tentative expedients. The policy
of acreage reduction advised for
this year, may, under changed
conditions, give way to quite a
different order of tactics another
season. Unfavorable weather con
ditions might conspire with the
voluntary efforts of growers, and
| so far reduce the supply of cotton
! as to warrant a corresponding
acreage increase, comparable to
| the full rate of reduction practic~
ed this year. It is not true, as
some seem to think, that the
Southern Cotton Association has
but one dogma in its creed, a sim
lgle purpose in its organization,
that of reducing the cotton acre
age to a limit below the normal,
anticipating a supply sufficiently
short of the demand to guarantee
exorbitant profits to the grower.
It has never been the policy of
the association 10 invite rivalry

pitching the price high enough to
make cotton growing profitable to
them, or to emharrass manufac
