California Student Editor al
Advocate Of Teaching in
Separate Glasses.

~ ERKELEY, Aug. 21.-Enthusi-
- astic approval of President
wheeier's idea of sesresating
the sexes at the university has
been vouchsafed by A. c. B. Fletcher,
editor-i chief of the college daily, The
Californian. who goes the president one
better. In an editorial published to-
day Editor Fletcher, who is a promi-
nent senior. asserts that the segrega-
tion of men and women students in
distinct boarding g-houses is so good an
idea that 1T might with profit and
propriety be extended to the courses
given at the university.
The university authorities suggested
to householders a month ago that
boarding houses where the sexes were
kept separate would be favored by the
college powers when 1T came to recon-
mending boarding-house to students
This stand was also taken by Miss
Lucy Sprague. official adviser of the
"Co-eds, when she told freshmen
girls, a week ago, that it would be
better for them If they sought homes
where no men students live
The editor of The Californian. dis
cussing this radical stand, says today
The segregation of the sexes In the
boarding houses by the university au-
thorities was a wise step. Why not
carry the plan farther? In many OF
the courses in college there are several
sections composed of man and women
If the sexes were segregated in these
courses it would be advantageous &c
instructor, men and women alike. The
present tendency of men to avoid the
culture courses because they think
they are only fit for women would be
to a great extent eliminated. The
minds of men and women are radically
different. so subjects could be taught
10 better advantage by SO conducting
the classes as to suit the needs of the
students. The plan is as fair to the
women as the men, 1t will not be an
experiment, as 1t exists in one or two
courses in the university at the pres
ent time.

Heavy student Registration.

BERKELEY, Aug. 21.-Figures given
out today by Recorder James Sutton
show that the total number OF uni
versity students registered to date IS
2177. or four less than were registered
last year. There are 1491 old UNDER
graduates. 541 new under graduates.
ifty-five old graduates and ninety new
graduates. There were fourteen more
freshmen registered this year than last
year. This showing has surprised
the university authorities, President
Wheeler having reported his belief that
several hundred less students would
register than were here last year.

rhe Pomaria Charter.

The question of legality of the char
ter Of the town Of Pomaria is again an
issue. Mr.. G. Fl. Counts refused to
pay street duty in order that the leg
ality of the charter might be deter
mined. The ease was heard yesterday
afternoon before a, jury. One Of the
points in the case is that a petition,
upon which the charter was granted
is signed by only nine free holders
when it is necessary to have ton An
other point, which was probably. rails
cd is that there are only seventeen
qualified electors in tho Incorporate
limits Of the town Of Pomaria, and
the question is, can jury be secured
from seventeen qualified electors.
Mr.. F. II. Dominick represents Mr.
Counts, and if these two points are
decided against the defendant the
case will go to the higher courts.
