SEPARATE SEXES.
n. May number of the House
ki .'r. Dodor William Lee Howard.
y.nt- a very pointed article on "Why
. tnd girls should be separated
5a si., Hifth School." In this article
Doctor Howard makes some startling
SUteroents. and yet, upon a thorough
Investigation it is found that there
Is mw-h food for thought In what he
says. It is his belief that boys and
girls of th adolescent age should be
taught by teachers of their own sex;
that they should not be brought to
gether In the school room, and that
to have them together in the same
J$1J but taught by different
leathers. Would not produce the de
sired result. He thicks that to have
the boys and girls together at this age
brings out more or less the Idea of
sex and detracts from their mental
energy to study, whereas. If they were
separated all this could be avoided,
thus having nothing In the presence
o feither suggestive of sex. for he says
in this same article that "They are
only healthy young animals, endowed
with the life and energies we have
given them. "
Doctor Howard would also have the
boys In charge of a physician, who
. should examine them from time to
time; that this physician should bc
!i thru of strong moral character cap
rile of advising them regarding their
en being, and help them avoid the
pitfalls- that are so plentiful In the
liio of every school boy. This same
rule he would apply to the girls
likewise protecting them.
This separation of the boys and
girls in our own 6chool is not possible
tinder present conditions, but it is
possible for every parent to teach
bis boy or girl the facts of life and
not leave it to the vulgar tongue of
some street lounger, as is bo fre
quently the case now. There Is no
high school In the state of Oregon
that can boast of a better lot of boys
and gins tnan are round in our
own high school, and It is to urge
the necessity of ever keeping this
condition that we suggest the read
ing of Doctor Howard's article by
all who can.

The demand for false hair by the

General Stuart J. Fuller of Hong
Kong. The hair Is brought to Hong
Kong from the Interior, where it is
cleaned and sorted, according to
length and quality. It is then packed
and either stored or disinfected, In
accordance with quarantine regula
tions, and shipped to New York.
There It Is treated so that the color
and texture can be altered, and . is

wigs. The demand has assumed so
much Importance that one concern
