the writers say that every married wo- I
man should hear four children. From j
this point of view they believe that the i
women's colleges are hastening the ex 1
tlnctlon o f the old American stock.
The colleges are blamed for failure !
to give girls an opportunity to meet I
young men and for failure to make I
them desirous or competent to be wives j
nnd mothers. It Is shown statistically
that the marriage rate o f “ coeds" Is
considerably better, nnd It Is remarked
that at Wellesley the students are fo r
bidden to receive men callers even on
Runduy, their only free day.
Viewed as to marriageability, the In
vestlgators consider a woman most at
tractive during her college years, and
they declare It of vita! Importance that
young men should he ullowed to meet
her In that period.

Coeducation Is Urged as the
More Desirable Course.
Pittsburgh. — Separate colleges for
women In the United States should be
abolished and coeducation substituted,
according to Professors Boswell John

University of Pittsburgh.
This conclusion Is based on the
charge that women's colleges contrib
ute largely to race suicide urnoug the
best elements of the American popula

In support of this contention the rec
ords o f Wellesley college have been
analyzed and the results published In
