Coeduc alton.

Following the lead of one OF the
great western universities, and of an
other college in the east, the president
Of one Of the best-known New Eng
land institutions of learning, in his re-
cent annual report, expressed his dis
approval of the form of coeducation to
which the college has long been COM
mitted. He wishes the institution to
continue to educate both sexes, but
separation of them in classroom and
curriculum is recommended. The re-
port comments upon a tendency which
has been noted by other educators as
manifested in other institutions, name
ly, the tendency of the girls at coedu-
cational colleges to increase in num-
bers, and of the boys at the same col
leges to decrease; so that the ulti-
mate destiny Of such institutions
seems to be a college exclusively for
girls. 1t is rather peculiar, says the
Youths Companion, that with single
conspicuous exception which has been
mentioned, most of the colleges which
have begun to question the wisdom Of
coeducation are in the east. Through
out the west, where nearly all the uni
versities are state institutions, coedu-
cation not only exists, but is taken as
a matter of course; and the young
men and young women appear to get
on well together. Much of the opposi-
ton to the admission of women comes
from the young men students, who
maintain that the college courses are
being feminized; but there are those
who shrewdly suspect that athletics
has something to do with the matter.
A college which has 600 students, Of
whom one-half are young women, has
less material from which to choose an
eleven, a nine, or crew, than col
lege of equal size made up wholly Of
men; and the roar of 'rooters" is more
effective when it is bass and barytone
than when it is soprano. The problem
is difficult one, for the number Of
girls who want college education is
constantly growing; and the place
where they shall seek it must always
be determined, for many of them, by
the considerations of cost and convent
ence.

Defense of Honest Wealth.

/ care not a straw for the rich as
such. My interest and sympathy are
solely with general society and the
common man. And, speaking as a rep
resentative of the people at large,
urge that the pride, idleness and
doubtful practices of few rich are
no just cause for putting all rich men
in pillory. The possession of wealth,
however great, furnishes by itself no
presumption against the owners probi-
ty, writes President e. Benjamin An
drews of the University of Nebraska,
in Leslie's Weekly. If man can
fraudlessly become possessor of ten
thousand, he can, if he works on with
the same zeal, skill and power, not
only as easily, but more easily, secure
a hundred thousand, two hundred thou
sand, five hundred thousand, a million,
a hundred million dollars Just here
financial geniuses find opportunity.
Now and again arises up amid the
common throng of business men one
with the ability to utilize to the end
that semi-automatic power to set and
keep this hundred million earning with
the same precision governing his first
investment. He combines industry
with industry and effects saving. He
takes advantage of rivals errors and
hesitancy. If he becomes a Millionaire
you have no right to denounce any
part of his fortune, save upon proof
of fraud. The mere fact of his being
so rich is naught but proof of his
genius and his industry.

The automobile may have it's uses.
The Touring club of France, composed
Of bicyclists and automobiles, has ia
ken up the work of reforestry and got
it under way on a broad and sound
basis. The theory was that the de-
struction of forests lessened the pleas
ure Of travel. Auxiliary societies have
been started everywhere, and by their
efforts tree culture is now taught in
the public schools. Prizes are given
both to teachers and to pupils for good
work in this line. The club has also
secured the passage of several laws
for the preservation of forests. This
is better than running over pedes-
TRANS, at least.

American Wheat to Odessa.

A big shipment of wheat from New
York to Odessa, Russia, is an impor-
tant Indicator as showing how the cur
rent of trade is sweeping in an unusual
direction and one that promises to
bring benefit to this country. Ordinar-
lily Odessa itself is a wheat-shipping
point, being one of the ports to which
the Russian grain fields are contribu-
tory, and Europe has been accus-
toned to depend on that region for a
large portion of it's food supplies. This
year the Russian crop has not been
sufficient to meet home demands, and
the export trade has fallen off accord
ingly. The people of that country are
buying instead of selling foodstuffs,
and as Europe is always confronting a
shortage, the situation compels reli-
ance upon the new world, in which the
United States is the chief wheat pro-
Queer. Hence, remarks the Troy On.
" Times, the increasing shipments
abroad, the effect of which in the ag-
gregate must be to strengthen materi-
ally our credit and to increase the
favorable balance of trade

Scientific gentlemen should be the
last to say what kind of flying ma
chine is best for the purpose of carry,
ing on war, for they never know what
some inventor is going to do in the
next few minutes in the way Of build
ing a stable and practicable airship
which will make the rest look like
inflated sausages. At a convention in
Washington the airship men declared
the balloon the only practical air
agency in war. Let them not be too
cocksure. Some lively little flying
machine may dart out at the puffed-
up war balloon the first time it goes
to battle, as king bird goes after a
crow, and by the time it has rammed
the side Of the monster with its
swordfish point the big gas bag may
have all the fight taken out of it,
as well as several other ingredients.

Comes now the startling news from
Paris that Prof. Delage has Rrtificially
produced living sea urchins which are
like unto other sea urchins except
that they have no stomachs. Notwith-
standing this trifling defect, and the
fact that they eat nothing, his sea
urchins have been fourishing for
more than four months, and appear
destined to ripe old age. Now if Prof.
Delage can get up a system by which
land urchins shall be similarly con-
structed, it will be great relief in
these days of money stringency and
high prices of provisions. In a family
of that kind an English sparrow would
serve all the purposes of Thanksgiv-
ing turkey.
