plain English of the most sublime acts.
Constraint, compulsion, wages-in-
ducements of all kinds conceal the mo-
tive. the virtue of all resultant activity.
The inspirational motives. the ac-
CELEBRATED pulse beat, the initial step
give momentum, intrepid daring and
seIf-elimination to all noteworthy ac-
tivity.
The field of Christian education IS IN
a very large sense one of voluntary ac-
tivities. The motives of the teacher
are in the main very similar to the
activities of mother. The mother hand
never wearies in its ministratlon. Its
touch can not be substituted. The daily
round of household duties must find
its finishing touch. its heart expression
in a loving ministry for the comfort IF
the Youngest or the weakest or the
neediest of the home. These last
strokes Of the mother hand have more
nearly their counterpart in the volun-
tary activity of the Christian teacher
than in any other field of service.
The round of duties of the teacher,
the elucidation of technical principles
and truths, the exposition and indoc-
trination of good forms in grammar
and rhetoric, the correct logical terms
and fitting rules in the construction Of
the sylogism the beauties of the deci-
NAL system, the nigh cuts Of logarithms
in treating functions-all make up the
round of duties of the teacher Tie
Christian teacher must and will take
the mother step and make the mother

must elucidate the Christ in it all The
mother makes the bed in view of some

of the likes and the dislikes of others.
So the Christian teacher propounds
every technicality and principle ana
truth in a just relationship to Christ,
for whom all truth exists and consists.
All these finer relations of the Chris
tan teacher. all his purity and unself-
ishness in his devotion to the cause
and Kingdom of Christ are the mother
qualities the voluntary activities of
the finer sort. that make for the veal OF
the home. the church and the state.
The Royal Education.
In the tropics the palms grow luxu-
riantly. In the zone of frosts they
dwarf and droop and spend themselves,
where they live at all. in what seems
to be an unsatisfed and unsatisfying
existence. The royal palm in the trop-
ics-how beautiful it is! The trunk,
long. slender, beautifully tinted, sup
ports at great height its foliage sym
metrically and orderly arranged as II
some master hand had trimmed it ac-
cording to a precise plan. This royal
palm is the king of palms. Christian
education is the royal education; it is
the education of the kingdom. Chris
tan education is indigenous only with
in the province of the churches. The
Christian college, dependent entirely
upon voluntary contributions for its
building and equipment, is and always
has been the most potent factor in our
American civilization for the good of
all the people. The Baptists, Metho-
dists and Presbyterians have more
largely than any of the other denomi-
nations maintained colleges in the
United States and their influence thus
administered is the finest illustration
of the highest type of altruism that
exists in any sphere Of UNCONVENTIONAL
activity.
The Baptists formed. doubtless. the

form of government as truly as does

the type of that government which is
of the people and for the people and by
the people.
A True Baptist College.
The Baptists are consistent in their
contention for the doctrine of the sep
aration of church and state by refus-
ing absolutely to build their colleges
by taxation, and by depending solely
upon voluntary contributions for the
establishment of their every form of in
stitution. The truly Baptist college is
a part of all the Baptist churches COM
posing the association or the conven-
ton, and is controlled by trustees rep
resenting all the churches of which the
college is a part. The Baptist college
is as truly democratic as is a Baptist
church. Equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none" is the shibbo-
leth of every Baptist institution Self,
or self perpetuity in office or self per-
peutity in control, is neither democratic
nor Baptistfc. AS every individual soul
is competent before God and has an
equal right to His grace, so, in as
true a sense, does every Baptist insti-
tuition recognize individual and person.
al responsibility and opportunity and
competency in the procurement of
rights and privileges. The most sub
lime act of self sacrifice that has ever
been illustrated by the people of any
name or creed is that act that is in
every particular true to and consistent
with it's constructive truth. The Bap-
fist churches learned from the teach
ings of Jesus to render unto Caesar the
things that belong to Caesar. They
also learned that the kingdom of God is
not of this world. When Christianity
in any form must look to the state for
support or control, it becomes of the
earth earthly. Christian education will
always ring true if it is administered
in every detail consistent with the
foundational and constructive princi-
pies of the New Testament

in the rising generation. If the sep
arate education of boys and girls will
make more manly men and more wom-

ation-they should be overcome at any

Will separate education of the sexes
result in greater efficiency?
Mere separateness is not the end %

ton if there is any. is because differ
ent methods must be used. No coed
can come from teaching boys and girls
in different rooms if they are to be
taught the same things in the same
way And separate education is not
worth while attempting until we are
ready to attempt to adopt different
course OF study to each sex.
influences Make For Symmetry.
From a psychological standpoint
total separation of thesseXes would be
bad For this would deprive each OF
terial which are necessary in building
up a symmetrical mental content.
Consequently any adequate system
of education, il it provides separate in
struction. should at the same time pro-
vide for positive social relations be-
tween the sexes The exact reverse
of the present plan would appear to be
the logical one. Instead of teaching
the two sexes together in the same
room and separating them at playtime,
they should be taught separately ana
be brought together at playtime.
Assuming that the psychological fact
of a difference in mental structure IS
admitted, it remains merely for ped
agogy to apply its fundamental princi--
pie to demonstrate the necessity OF
separate instruction for the two sexes.
"All instruction must proceed from the
known to the unknown" is the princi-
pie referred to. and means that the
most efficient instruction for a girl is
thai which proceeds from the common
experiences of her everyday life, and
likewise for the boy. And in so far IS
the fundamental experiences of the boy
and girl differ, to that extent is II
necessary that their education shall be
different.
The final result of such system or
education offers an interesting topic
for speculation. VIII the woman be-
come more feminine and the man more
masculine? Certa My we might hope
that woman would become less maseu-
line and man less feminine.

courses of instruction for male and fe-
male.
That girls and boys. men and women,
may study the same text and learn the
same principles admits of no doubt
but on the other hand this does not
prove that such texts are studied and
such principles are learned to the best
advantage of the pupil.
The mind, whether male or female,
is so alert and receptive to all knowl-
edge that it would be difficult to de-
wise course of study so defective that
no mental development would result
from it's pursuit. But the education OF
today demands that the highest posi-

Sex Influence on the Mind.
Admitting that pedagogy has any
thing to learn from psychology, let US
see what bearing the nature of mind
which has been indicated has upon the
subject of co-education.
We are not sure that the structure
of mind given by inheritance is the
same in boys and girls. But certainly
decided differentiation begins imme-
diately succeeding birth. The physical
characteristics of the female, increas-
ingly with age, differ from the MALE
likewise the environment, in part grow
ing out of physical differences, is as
different as home and store. Further
as the rabbit seeks collards and the
hound flesh, so does the female mind
naturally select those truths from ma
lures great fields and forests of knowl-
edge which best nourish and sustain
her mind. And so the male, with equal
blindness to Interior ends, but never
theless in response to them.
Let us suppose that nature has had
her way with the little man and woman
until the sixth year, when custom says
they must go to school Were the orig
na mental structure identical, six
years of feminine existence will have
resulted in a markedly diverse mental
content Feminine characteristics man
fested in dress, in habits of neatness,
in various physical limitations, as wei!
as daptations, in tasks undertaken
and ambitions kindled and in innum
cradle other directions, would CORE
spond to a different mental content
developed So much so that the mind
of a boy Of six is as different from the
mind of a girl of six as any two minus
can possibly differ.
1t would be an exaggeration to say
that there are no points in common be-
tween the two On the contrary, there
are probably many. The same might
be said, however, of the mentality of
any two animals or indeed, of man
and any higher animal, and of any two
species of the same germs.
Are Separate Courses Demanded?
The question involved in the discus
sion of co-education is whether or not
the differences in the male and female
mind which are implied by the modern
theories concerning the nature of
mind, are sufficient to demand separate

The practice of co-education in the
might well question the judgment of
him who raises a doubt concerning the
correctness of the practice. The writer
has no ambition to pose as a reformer,
nor to lead a revolution in pedagogical
method. But as a matter of psychology
tcal interest the practice of CO. educa-
ton of the sexes raises several signifi-
cant questions.
1t is perhaps natural that the psy
biologist should become impatient
with the pedagogue on account of the
hardness with which pedagogy accepts
the conclusions of psychology. But
the psychologist will have no really
just cause Of complaint until after he
ceases to change his mind so often.
If pedagogy. however has any re
spect at all for the teachings of psy-
chology it does seem that questions
concerning the correctness of the prac-
tice of CO. education must be raised.
Phases of the Human Mind.
Psychologists are now generally
agreed that the mind is a product Of

mental pabulum.
Inheritance furnishes the warp in
the fabric of mind and the three modi-
flying factors named supply the woof
Each of the three factors depends in a
measure upon the other. but all three
play an important part in determining
the essential nature of mind.
Now, it is generally admitted that
education is a process which operates
primarily through and upon the mind

and alive to the advanced methods

While, we have our own opinions of
what principles are best, and have
our own preference of parties, we be-
lieve that the first duty of news
paper which is published for Negroes,
is to work for them. Since the color
question is the one great issue in the
South, where the bulk of the race
lives, we have entertained the hope
that some day political reallign-
ment would come that would take
from us that undesirable prominence
and put us on a plane with other citi-
zens. Therefore, it is clear that we
in common with many Negroes have
looked forward hopefully to the Pro
gressive party. We have considered
it's platform and principles far less
than it's attitude toward the old par
ties, for in this we hoped to discover
that it would not imt late the democ-
racy OF the South by the cheap appeal
to prejudice, nor follow after the Re
publican party in the North which
talks large of equality and permits
it's war amendments to be abrogated
without even protest.
With such hopes as we entertained,
it is a great disappointment for us to
be unable to determine whether the
party, or the man Roosevelt is the
thing about which the Progressives
are most concerned. If principles are
their guiding star, we may hope on.

We Have Too Much Experiment in Legislation

hibition may be, Colorado is not in
proper condition to receive it now.
The local option law now on the
statute books, seems to have done
what it was intended to do, and there
is noycomplaint that it has failed in
any section of the state. Yet prohi-
bition is asked by certain persons.
Had the prohibitionists made good
case against local option, showing it
inefficient, showing it imperative, or
proving that it no longer meets the
ideas of the people, the people could
vote on prohibition with the assur-
ance that if it passed, the education
of the citizens on that subject would
have made them ready to receive it
and comply with it. AS it is, it is
nothing more than so much more ex-
pertinent with which we are asked to
burden ourselves. Poor Colorado!
The taxpayers have just finished pay
ing S2vO, $500 and as high as $1,000
per vote for each one cast in the pri-
maries, and now we are to tackle the
great liquor problem without even
breathing spell in the meanwhile.

The small vote cast at the recent
primaries by both parties has occa-
stoned much comment and consider
able criticism has been made of the
law under which the primaries were
held. The truth is that the law has
been adopted ahead of the education
of the people along that line, SO that
it provides for acts which the citizen
is not yet ready to do. 1t may be a
good law, but up to this time it par
takes of the nature of an experiment.
Colorado is suffering much from an
epidemic of such legislation. Initia-
tive has paved the way for every kind
of idea to come before the people, and
the state Legislature seems over
anxious to beat it at its own game,
and proceeds to make laws just as ex-
perimental as is the direct primary.
Because we already have enough of
such laws, and because the people
have not yet assimilated what we
have, it is most unfortunate at this
time that a move is on foot to estab-
lish statewide prohibition. 1t makes
no difference what the virtues of pro-
