An Experiment Attracting Attention
I'm the Empire.

III ~
Up to within perhaps ten years no prac-
teal test of the possibility of co-education
had been made, but recently the school
authorities in the Grand Duchy of Baden
have made a trial OF it's possibilities, and
the experiment is looked upon with con-
siderable interest by, the school authorities
in other parts of the empire. From a re-
cent official report the Cologne Gazette
makes the following deductions, showing
to what extent the female sex has entered
the gymnasiums.
while the number of girls who attended
the boys schools in the school year 1901-02
was only 426y this number has increased
Therefore the opinion of the higher school
officials excites the greatest interest about
the c~o-education of the sexes in the higher
schools of the dukedom. In the last num-
Der OF the official school report the chair
man Of the board of school directors
Of the Grand Duchy makes a very
favorable report on the conditions since the
admission Of the girls to the boys middle
schools. All OF the school principals admit
the capability of the girls and their ability
to comply with the courses of study, and
In many cases the greater diligence and in
t~elligent interest of the girls in many spe-
cial subjects were observable. besides their
presence In the classes exerted a very favor
able influence on the conduct of the boys.
An excellent effect was noted in the be-
havior and appearance Of the male pupils

VETERINARY SCIENCE.
Result of Investigation by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Result of Investigation by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The expert commission appointed by
the secretary of agriculture to examine
and classify the institutions in the United
States and Canada that teach veterinary
science has recommended some colleges
Internationally as to the fitness of their
graduates for positions in the govern
ment service, others conditionally and
others not recommended at all. These
recommendations have been approved by
the secretary OF agriculture and he will
be guided by them in making appoint
ments. The commission recommended
the adoption of a minimum course of
study for veterinary colleges to entitle
them to recognition, to be put into effect
after the close of the next college year.
The announcement of the Kansas City
Veterinary college for the coming year
shows that 1t has already adopted the
prescribed curriculum without waiting
the year allowed As the curriculum was
already of a high order and this was one
of the colleges Internationally endorsed,
little change vas necessary. In future
students must present certificates of
scholarship or pass an examination in
all veterinary colleges having government
recognition The Kansas City institution
has always required this, but many others
AVE not. Students in such colleges can
not get credit for work done.

state univerritr Of Ionn.

IOWA CITY, Ia. Aug. 2.-(special.)-In
the future students in the State University
of Iowa will be granted university credit
for time spent in religious study. This ac-
Ron was taken by the university authorl-
:ies today upon the recommendation of
the committee on religious work. No stu
dent will be allowed university credit for
more than two recitations per week, and
only eight religious work credits can be
applied on a university degree. The repre-
sentative Of any denomination will be al
lowed to offer a course in religious study
and II the outline of the course is APP
proved by the university committee uni
verslty credit will be given. The university
has been compelled TO accept work done
in this line from the denominations schools
bt the state and the step was taken in order
to give the university Students the same
advantages as those who attended the
other institutions.

had been no breaks in the discipline
noted and nowhere had the morals OF the
pupils been in airy way endangered.
Although the report OF the Baden au-
thoritles has been favorable to the bringing
into closer connection in matters of educa-
tlon of the sexes, It is not apparent any
where outside of Bader that any progress
has been made toward admitting girls to
the same school with boys, or ever to give
them the same studies.

COLLEGE PREsIDENoIEs VACANT

-
Members of Iowa state College
Faculty I'm Demand.
The presidency of Morningside college al
Sioux City and that of Kansas State col
lege may be filled by members of the Iowa
State college faculty. Friends of DR.. o,
H. Cessna. professor of history and psy-
chology, are said to be urging hin for the
former position, while for the latter Prof
p. G. Holden is being considered. Both
gentlemen possess in the very highest de-
gree the essential qualification Of the sue
cessful administrator. 1t is known that
neither OF them has done, or will do, any
thing to secure an election. in fact friends
have urged them not to consider a propo-
sition or accept should positions be ten
dered. Both are happily situated and
friends of the State college hope they may
not be tempted to leave.
