Recorder of the City of i.a (Ramie, OrcKcn S-l-'-DK Oxford university, Kngland, has gone on a quota basis as regards sex. It is ruled that the number of girls aUend-j jug The 'university shall not be more 'I'liiui one-fourth of the. student body. This is considered very liberal. Jn the past, aj feminine quota of one-eighth has been thought ample. 0b- viously the jiirls are making headway in the mast conservative of 1'ritish educational institutions. The reasons given for limiting the feminine attendancei are entertaining. "There as a real danger," the authorities say, "that the increase of women, if not checked, wiilj threaten the masculinity of the university. This would af-t feet the character of the teaching given. Women are morel of a type than men. Women concentrate on certain courses,! especially English literature, where they do extremely well, but they are not good at other branches of study, scientific,' mathematical, philosophical and classical. They thus tend to give the university a less universal character than a learned institution like Oxford considers proper." Dritifih ideas of education differ from ours but there is a chance that Oxford's reasons for thus excluding sur plus feminine students might be wrong. Many young people go to college these days-thousands more than a generation ago and, without doubt, some of them could be at a belter occupation. Limitation, however, could well be along other lines than sex. If Oxford simply raised their scholastic re quirements and limited students, either men or women, ac cording to standards of work, education and national progress might be more keenly benefited.
