feel strongly. however, that from the time
boys get into the high school their education
should be largely if not entirely in the hands of
men, and that there should be larger male
element than there now IS in the teaching in the
grammar schools. | am strong in the opinion
that after graduating from grammar schools
boys and girls should be educated separately.
| am quite aware that it is not easy in say
ing this to avoid misconception. The mo-
ment statement of this sort is made, great
many persons immediately assume that the
speaker considers girls inferior and that sep
aration means discrimination against them.
Nothing could be farther from the fact. 1t
is not an assumption that women are inferior
to men. 1t IS only a recognition of the fact
that they different from men
We Americans, while in many respects the
most practical people in the world, are in
some respects curiouslv unwilling to recog-
nize facts, especially when they do not agree
with our pet theories. In this whole matter
of the education of women we have failed to
lust facts and theories to each other.
Years ago it was assumed that women
inferior in mental capacity to men. This
idea. coupled with certain inherited
ventionalites, limited the opportunities of
women and combined their activities within
their narrow circle. Nobody in his senses
now believes IN the mental lnferiority of wO-
men. To say, however, that women are not in
terror IN capacity to men Is quite different
from saving that they should do exactly the
same things, and to large extent, at the
same time and place men. 1t is not neces-
sary in order to demonstrate the mental equal
of women that they should practise medicine
law, that they should enter the pulpit.
that they should take exactly the
same curriculum in the college as their brothers

THAT the present identical education of
boys and girls has been weighed and
found wanting is acknowledged by those in
closest touch with the children approaching
adolescence; but unfortunately this fact is not
sufficiently taken into account by those who
shape school curricua and decide upon school
organization. After all that school is failure
which does not fit its pupils for life Since en-
vlronment and opportunity, to a large extent,
shape one future. school should take into
account the conditions surrounding the ma
joritv of the children in locality.
What habits acquired by the child will insure
success for the man or woman Certain ha bits
regularity, punctualitv personal cleanliness,
moral rectitude, respect for authority, devotion
to duty-are needed by both men and women
and can be instilled by either men women
teachers into both boys and girls. But even
these lessons should be given to the boys in a
different form from that given to the girls. SO
far as is possible after the earliest wears bows
and girls should be segregated in school. The
woman teacher placed in charge of boys should
possess the strongest mental, moral, and phvsi-
cal powers,-the true woman whose personal
magnetism will inspire every boy.
As the boy approaches the age of puberty
then let his teachers be men. Other qualities
physical courage. spirit of fair play resent
ment under insult. business integrity-can
be best developed by men teachers in BOYS
schools, Just as gentleness, tenderness, sym
pathy, tactfulness, the spirit of hospitality
charity in thought, and kindred traits can best
be instiled by women teachers in girls schools
AS for fogging it is absolutely essential in
the training of the spoiled child. The foolish
indulgent, presumably educated mother and
the negligent father do the boy more harm than
the school-the best school-can counteract
On the other hand the boy with a bad tenn
pered ignorant mother, and neglectful
brutal father gets much t1ogging unneces-
sarily and futilely that his flesh grows callous
and his heart hard under the treatment.
Here, in all forms of disease, moral or
physical, there is no universal panacea Flog
the boy who needs it; but be sure he needs it
before you fog.

By w. E. HUNTINGTON
President of Boston University

DRESIDENT HALL has given emphasis to
one side of home and school training for
boys that certainly needs attention. the dis
cipllne and influences that make for vlrllltv. 1t
is not quite clear, however, that it is nee
essary to recommend to modern youth the
combat for mere physical proves as prep
aration for the attainment of manly powers.
Fighting among boys is no more commendable
than fighting among men, or between nations.
Violent encounters between civilized persons
are out OF place on any arena,-playgroun
or national frontier. The whole category of
brutal contests, whether in the name of
sports in the of strategy" from
the games of the Coliseum to American foot
ball, belongs to the barbaric past.
Many men need feminizing'' to make
them decent: many boys need the refining
influence of good women to make them
toerable. Some women are better teachers
OF boys than some men; although there
is doubt that public schools would be
in better condition if the proportion of women
to teachers was far less than it is
a masculine woman IS much a divergence
from the true type a feminine man. We
want as few of these freaks of either sex as
possible, in our social order. Modern Christian
education tends to hold Loyalty to differences
of type between man and woman. The true
home does not ignore the Distinction the
school and the college must also confirm it.
But virlitv of the right sort, full of unyielding
moral fiber, does not come out of the expert
ences of the bully or the bulldog Very small
boys will squabble, like puppies; but beyond
the Kindergarten stage of education it would
seem to be well for both fathers and mothers to
keep their lads from fisticuffs as free elective.
