v -■ ? 1 '•* 1 12 CHRISTIAN IIKnAT.D. 9 I T Co-Education in Colleges. ì The presence of so large a num ber of women among the classes recently graduated from college, atjid the fact that it has ceased to excite comment’, seem to indicate that a much-vexed question is at last approaching a definite con clusion. It is true that not all the larger institutions, especially in the .. Easb. adntifc : but a*ufiieien^’ number do so to allow any girl with aspirations fur a higher cdu-- cation to enjoy as good opportuni ties as her brothers. With many of these colleges tQ which men al me are now admitted, it is only . a question of time how soon they will yield uud admit the other sex. A tendency so strong and so steady as this has shown itself to be can not be long resisted. President Noah Porter says that there is no "more reason why Vaio should be opened to women than Vassar to men. With this view of the case, there will be as many Yales and" Princctons as there are Vassars and Wellesleys; but if the demand for a college education comes equally from b >th sexes, there should be no Inore oTone sui t than of the other. From the fact of the apparent success of co-education in the*insti- ’ ■" tutiotas where it has been practised, and from the statements of educa tors in their reports upon this sub ject, several points may be regarded as hiving been clearly proved. First, there is no doubt that there is, and always will be, a lively de; mand on the part of the public for as competent instructors, as elabor ate apparatus, and as thorough a curriculum of study for girls as for boys. Parents are not content with a second-rate education for their daughters ; and, as a rule, attend ance at a college of good rank is not more expensive than at a linichiiig school. Each year sees a larger number of women enter to compete w ith the men on their own ground, and the better class of ladies' colleges are filled to over- t! wing. In our common schools there are more girls in attendance than boys. There is good reason, accordingly, to believe that before long college education will be equally divided between the sexes. , Again, it has been shown that women are thoroughly able to stand ■ the strain of college life. One of t re first arguments offered against u r education was that girls were not strong enough to go through with the work and worry and excite ment under which the boys so often bioke down. Experience has shown that, if any difference exists, it is in favor of the weaker 6ex ; the reason probably being that the gif h? are Tnoreraysteinalic In thei r work and take better care of them selves; not enjoying so much exer cise, perhaps, as the boys, but avoiding dissipation and ' foolish waste of strength. [dished; it is lather early to seek results outside of college. Within the class-room the girls are found t'b be more conscientious and quick er than the b«y*;- yet, on-tfie wltole, not doing so safi.-ductory work- Plenty of good reasons may be as signed for this ; and the existence oi these reasons oftentempts edu cators to assert that the woik of the sexes is equal. The facts show, however, that in the higher and more difficult branches, where there is more call for originality and less for memory, the j«>ys have Enough has been shown in the few years in which the experiment has been tiled to warrant the as sertion that co-education is a suc cess; in so fai as its otj.ect'AVas ’td" pioviile means fi r the higher edu cation of women; but its moral efiect and the probable results on society are ktill open questions. As institutions grow older and wealth ier it frequently happens that dis sipation and immorality become more prevalent among the young men in attendance. The presence of the other sex and the intimate relation naturally brought about in the class-room may, at first, have a beneficial tfleet; how lasting this beneficial efiect will be time will tell. Some close observers express the fear that the frequent contact and association of the students will make young women lose that deli cate sense of what is right anti that horror of what is wrong for. which the sex is distinguished. If co education is to produce coarseness among women, whatever else may be said of it, it is still dangerous. The next few years are likely to throw more light upon the ques tion ; in the mean time it cannot be denied that many parents are un willing to r un the risk, and prefer to send their daughter to girls’ schools rath», r than to .colleges for both sexes. This objection must be removed before co-education can be regarded as an unqualified success. Th» Teaser, • Most of our comforts grow up between crosses, i PIERCE?
