Mrs. r. B. Munford. Richmond Va:
NY Dear Mrs. Munford.-In response
10 your communication to me in regard
10 inc plan for n coordinate college
ior women at tho University OF Vir-
Sinia' permit me to say that I am
most heartily in favor of the plan pro-
vided In the bill now pending in the
legislature of Virginia for the es,ub-
HSnincnt OF such college,. The prln-
etpie OF democracy. which. If II means
anything. must mean equal opportunity
FOR all. demands that any State that
proVloes In any kind OF way for higher
education for mon must make similar
and equal provision for the higher edu-
cation OF women. Whether tho pro
vision Tor the education Of men and
women shall be made in the same in
seitctlon or IN separate institutions is
a question both of economy and of
education Both economy and the
fundamental principles Of education de-
mand that they shall be In the Same
institution, and this Is becoming very
rapidly worldwide custom Tho
great majority OF colleges and uni
verslties In this country. including all
the State universities, except four now
oa!hlt women on practically the same
terms as men. In the West and in
many of the Southern States the COL
leges and universities are frankly CO.
cduca tional. In tho East some Of the
more Important and Older universities
HaNc Responded 10 this movement by
establishing coordinate colleges for
women in much the same manner as is
proposed in the Virginia bill and this
arrangement probably corresponds more
closely TO our more conservative ideas.
] understand your bill provides merely
for the establishment OF coordinate
college for women In the vicinity of The
buildings of the University or Virginia
TO be under the general ontrol of the
board of visitors OF the university, the
instruction to be given, as far as may
be done to advantage. by the same
faculty. but by different instructors
Wherever this is required for the best
results, and that young men and young
women will not be taught in the same
classes In any OF the under graduate
work l feel sure that such an ar
rangement will be good FIR the women
OF your State. offering them an OPP
portunity for higher education which
they do not now nave. and which the
State owes to them and which II must
provide out of duty to itself.
am Enclosing a memorandum pre-
pared by the chief clerk of the Bureau
of Education setting forth in some do
tail tho results of the esta blignment
of co-ordinate colleges In connection
with other institutions of higher learn
ing. Yours sincerely

SOUTHERN LEAGUE PLAYERS
 REACHING NORMAL STRIDE

The fielding of the Southern league players has taken a proportionate de- cline just the same as has the bat ting. The average for the entire league Is not as good this time this year as it was in 1911.
 Eleven outfielders still have a clean record in fielding. with Roy Moran and Hopkins of Chattanooga the real lead CTS
 Elwert of Montgomery leads the third basemen with an average of .es2. though Mcdonald of Nashville, who played in twice as many games, is the real leader with .s75.
 Lindsay of Nashville leads the short stops with an average of 947, big improvement over his 1911 form. when he was booting them with consistent regularity.
 Hendryx of New Orleans Is the best keystone guardian. only three errors having been ehalked against him in s5 games, a percentage of .97S.
 A. D. Dell of Atlanta leads the first sackers with an average of .9s4, though Bill Schwartz, the Nashville mogul, is the real leader having played in twice as many games.
 Haight, the New Orleans receiver, tops the backstops with a percentage of 9S9. Dilger is tied with him, but has been in less games
 Twelve pitchers have a clean record in fielding, not having made pebble to date.
 Here are the fielding figures of the men who still remain on the eight teams, the earlier season finds" being eliminated. The figures include the games played Monday. May 27;
