QUEER EXPERIMENT.

New York Cor. Philadelphia Press.
Professor Max Einhorn Of the Post
Graduate Medical school and hospital,
has been feeding a number Of New
Workers. on glass beads to find out how
much they are behind the African jos-
trich in the matter Of digestion.
The professors extraordinary series
Of experiments now just concluded
show that beefsteak and potatoes, the
standard diet in this city, are harder to
digest than is generally supposed. Other
curiosities Of digestion were also
brought to light. ~
Professor Einhorn chose small porce-
lain or glass beads for his experiments.
At first he tried to coat the beads with
the essencerof various articles Of food,
but had>to give that plan up. Several
weeks ago. he conceived Che plan Of
"loading" the beads with solid food
stuffs by drawing them thru The open

IN ACADEMIC |;
WORK, CROWD OUT men
SOON THERE MAY BE NO Co-EDU-
CATIoNAL PROBLEM.
With Continued Growth Of Women g
Majority Mere Man Will Be Backed
off Boards at University Of Mime
sofa -sixty-nine Per Cent Is Now
Strength Of Pair Students.

In the opinion Of university people
who have made q study Of registration
statistics and conditions at the univer-
sity the co-educational problem, so far
as the University Of Minnesota is CON
cerned, will solve itself and within the
next twenty years there will be no
mingling of men and women in univer-
sity classes. This theory is borne out
by academic statistics at the univer-
sity which show that the proportion Of
women in the academic college is grad
ually increasing and that with proper
tionate increase during the next twenty
years the academic department will be-
come practically women's college.
Up to the year 1902 the number of
men enrolled in the college Of science,
literature and arts at the university
outnumbered the woman students. In
the spring Of 1902 SO per cent Of the
university academic graduates were
men but ever since the commencement
exercises Of 1909 the women who have
received academic sheepskins have been
a gradually growing majority until 4
list of the candidates for the academic
degrees to be granted next spring
shows that 50 per cent Of the members
Of the graduating class are members Of
the fair sex. -. es 4.
The decrease in the number Of men
who are taking academic work at the
university does not mean that fewer
men are attending the university than
in previous years, but it means that the
technical and professional courses Of
fered in the university curriculum are
gradually growing in popularity and
that there is tendency on the part Of
men students to omit academic training
and enter practical work as soon as
possible. .s-,
The only influence which will coun-
teract the decrease in the number of
mon students in the academic depart
ment is the attitude Of some of the pro-
fessional schools demanding certain
amount Of academic training before ad.
hitting a student to professional work,
| This tendency Is particularly apparent
in the university medical school where
at least one year Of academic training
is now required for admittance to thu
freshman class. s'- .~~
Together with and as result Of the
decrease in the number Of men taking
academic work there has come GORE
spending falling off in campus fuss
ing a part Of the college curriculum
which is regularly condemned by fac
ulty members and which has formed
the basis for majority Of the anti
coeducational argument. The univer
sity man is as much interested as eve
in the girl student but work in the pro
fessional and technical schools is 81
strenuous that he has little time 70
frivolity and leaves the entertainment
of the girl student to the less busy stu
dent in the academic department.
