Two of the girls that were waiting on

Eyes, doctor"
well, no woman can teach drawing
that is, as well as a man. Give each girl
a teaspoonful of this medicine three
times day-and I'll make arrangements
to have these twenty pupils draw an hour
daily at Monsieur Maumier's."
"Oh. doctor. but they are all young
men in monsieurs classes
II know Observation-Disclosures we
can't help it."
The doctor saw Monsieur Maumier and
arrangements were made 10 have the
twenty young women go over and join
the class each morning from 10 to Il.
After the class there was a recess
for fifteen minutes.
The girls were allowed to remain. too;
so they stayed and compared pictures,
criticised, joked. and. after a week,
played tag, pussy wants-a- corner, and a
little innocent, natural rough-house fol-
lowed with the young men.
And. behold, there was never another

In a recent article on education for
women DR.. Anna B. Shaw says: Ten
women shut in together will worry one
hundred times as much as ten men shut
in together So, also, hundred women
shut in together will exhaust themselves
merely by being together. the sensitive
tenperaments eating into each other like
corroding acids. One of the advantages
of coeducation Is distinct lessening OF
the emotional and nervous strain among
the women Students
Just why the presence OF men as teach
ers and fellow workers should have a
tonic and quieting effect upon the nerves
of women 1 do not know, but there is
certainly less nervous tension, morbidity
and circumstances among college wo-
men associated with men than among
those in strictly women's colleges.
OF course, it is a delicate question Tor
a man to discuss, but 1 am more than
pleased that women are publicly acknowl-
edging that it is not only not good for
a man to be alone. but 1t is a deal worse
for a woman.
Personally, I'll admit don't know much
concerning the subject in the concrete,
but I'll say right here that IL there are
no women in heaven I prefer to remain
in a place-no matter what the tempera-
ture-where the coed rule prevails.
