of the very few who continue in school beyond
that age, all the experience which coeducaton has
given proves that the manly spirit is not sub

the handicap which nature imposes by making him
second to the nj per mentality of the girl. If the
American boy needs anything it is of that
gentle manner which makes the gentle Cowboy

equally bad in the humblest home and in the White

that they express their sentiments concerning
the matter. That there in strong
for this separation is beyond question: and
it is possible that the subtle influence" of CO.
education of which we hear much may be eXag-

all that is claimed for it. l think that the great
majority of us are in doubt about the matter be-
cause we cannot be personally familiar with the
working out of both systems for term of years.
The head master of the County Secondary School
of HYDE Cheshire, who visited the American schools
last summer, discusses Coeducatlon at some length
and | extract a few sentences from his report.
If there any dangers In the system, they GER
tainly have the fullest opportunity tor showing
themselves in the high schools where there is SO
little of the surveillance consider necessary when
boys and girls of from fourteen to eighteen are
educated together and it would be idle to say that
everything works in perfect manner. In at least
two cities that / visited l had evidence that proper
safeguards must be adopted But there IS no
doubt of the superiority of the mixed schools over
the other. In the boys schools entered there was
either poorer discipline, methods were adopted
that showed that the absence of the girls had
bad effect In the girls schools the tone in class
was very good,-best in one or two normal schools
and convent SchOols,-but felt that these stu
dents would be less fitted for contact with the
world, and the only examples | had of awkward
bearing and unnatural diffdence frivolousness
when speaking to girls in two schools from
which bows were excluded. The effect of the pres
of girls upon the boys in stimulating them to
work marked, and it pleasant to see the
perfectly natural bearing of members of both sexes
toward each other. The statement that boys be-
effeminate is made from pure ignorance, and
rough. Practically all the teachers in mixed schools

4 teaching staff might be composed entirely OF
men, and the wished for results might be lacking
if the themselves without the qualities
the boys should have nstilled into them.
l believe that the called segregation of the
in schools and colleges goes long way toward
the solution of the problem. The experiment now
being tried in the Englewood high school of Chicago
aims at this very thing, and it is my opinion that
it will result benefcally. The trial of this plan is
significant of the trend of education in the secondary
schools.
The partial segregation of the sexes in the junior
colleges of the University of Chicago is the result OF
consideration of this question.
This is what we had in mind when the system here
worked out President Hall makes most help

by example continually the father should lead his
sons to high standards OF work thought and deed
1t goes without saying that he should be worthy Of
the honor" with which the child should look up
to him If his life, speech, and habits are not such
to help in the proper training OF the boy, he IS
not fit to have children and he had best let them
alone.
There is hardly greater misfortune than for
child to have father who cannot will not, or ought
not to share in his education. If his character and
influence and habits are bad it were better for the
boy that the father We're dead. | have known, We
all have known men who have deliberately taught
their sons to lie cheat, and steal. They did not
use the words lie cheat, and " steal; but

So long as the common school was the finish
ing school, it was or should have been imperative
that the last and highest teacher be man,-a
thorough gentleman Now that secondary schools
are becoming the rule and not the exception 1t IS
wise that least half the teachers the secondary
schools be men, that both boys and girls may
appreciate and adopt high ideals for both men
But to return, though good teachers do much
for the boy, they cannot and should not relieve
the fathers OF their responsibility. So far indo-se
l do quite agree with President Hall in regard
to the merits OF coeducation. The subject is too
large one for me to discuss at the present time
will only say that under good supervision there IS
tendency toward lowering the tone of either boy

of boys and girls in good schools is alto
gether wholesome.
l was myself prepared for college in mixed high
school. After graduating l taught the boys high
school in city where from the ground up, the
schools separate, and think | can truthfully
say that there was a marked tendency the part
of both boys and girls in the town where they
brought together in school, to be rude, bold
and low minded whenever they came together

front steps in the evening. Instead of an easy,
natural attitude in the presence of each other,

these things for year, that the best thing that
town could do to have the boys and girls come

Irony of Coins

In view of the discussion over the motto "In God We Trust" on United States coins a collection of such mot toes made by an Italian student, Ameri- go Scarlatti, and recently published in Minerva, an Italian periodical, is in- teresting. Scarlatti is of opinion that such inscriptions, though not in- tended to be cynical, too often admit of such an interpretation through the irresistible habit of the public of ig- noring the intent of the designer and applying the motto to the coin itself.
 Thus, when Charles II, king of the Two Sicilies, had engraved on his sil- yer ducat the Latin words, UnuS non SuAicit'-meaning "one is not enough" all the world insisted on forgetting that the king referred to single scep- ter and enthusiastically agreed with him that one ducat wasn't enough for any one.
 On the contrary a storm of ironical opposition was aroused when Louis de Bourbon, king of Etruria, in the early part of the last century inscribed "Yi- deant Pauperes ct Lastentur" on his coins. The words mean let the poor see and rejoice" and of course every one wanted to know why poor man should rejoice at merely seeing piece of money. New York Sun.

Latouche Has Another Dock

The new dock which Charles Teck- lenburg has been building on Latouche island, short distance south of Beat sons, was finished and open for buSi- ness more than week ago. This dock is beside the townsite of Phoenix which already has buildings enough to look like a village.
 The dock is SOxI3O feet and has twenty-three feet of water at low tide, depth enough to keep the largest steamers that run to Southern Alaska out of the mud. It cost $35OO. MT. Tecklenburg is the sole owner.
 Heretofore steamers have stood out in the roadstead while transacting bui- mess with Phoenix, the larger ones keeping out several hundred yards, and freight and passengers have had to be carried in small boats.
