Former Member of School Board
Tells Some Farts.

Board of Education of Cleveland, now a
practicing lawyer, tells In the Atlantic
monthly some "Plan Facts About the Pub
lic Schools." "Were you ever a member
of a school bosrd?" lis ssks. "If not," he
continues, "then hsve hardly been re
vealed to you In their fullest measure, the
machinations and tendencies of the dual
forces that combine to establish our public
schools; the educational forces on the one
hand, and the public pr political forces on
the other."
This writer discusses at length four of

erally brought against the publlo school
system In this country ths failure of the
schools to tesch the pupils, the failure of
the pupils to use their minds, ths unprac
tical character of the instruction Imparted
to them, and the absence pf any serious
effort to awaken their moral sense. He
asserts that "In most of our cities there
is a prevalent, provincial feeling that looks
with dlsdsin snd disfavor upon the hiring
of teachers from other towns," which sen
timent, we are gravely reminded, "makes
of our schools seml-eleemosynary Institu
tions, whose principal function Is to give
employment to the daughters snd sons of
the place."
Continuing, Mr. Orth says: "The bane
of this In-and-in breeding la felt In every
large city. So scute Is the feeling that, if
the superintendent goes abroad for a few
alien teachers, he is decried as disloyal.
and he Is fortunate If the disgruntled fines
fall In organising a foolish opposition to
his well-meanl endeavor to infuse new life
Into the schools. There are Instances on
record where a determined parent has set
out to elect a school board sn that her
daughter might be appointed a teacher.
though She Is larking both In spirit and In
knowledge. '1 have lived here thirty years
and paid taxes, and the city owes it to
me to employ my daughter, rather thsn
hire some one from out of town, who never
helped make this city', ssld an irats parent
lo me, after I had told him I could not
Interfere with the appointment of teachers
by the superintendent. And this feeling Is
quite as prevalent as It is hurtful to the
schools."
FKMIMZATIO.V OF COLLEGES.
Increasing; Proportion of Women
(Undents Causes Alarm.
Every university In ths country is watch
ing the university girl darkly, says a
writer In the Delineator. "Let there be no
more men in colleges," she seems to be
saving. Presidents in their annual reports
note with dignified trepidation the fact
thst per cent of their students sre now
women, a proportion yearly increasing. A
list of thirteen western universities shows
the women outnumbering the men In seven
cases. Minnesota, Nebraska and California
have nearly twice as many women as men.
Stanford has planted Its back flatly
asralnst the wall. Ilka a creature facing a
pack,' and arbitrarily limited the number
of womn who may enter each year to
600. And Tufts Is asking for a gift of $350,.
000 that she may segregate her women and
so save herself from becoming a woman's
college.
As a matter of fact, what the college
girl has done Is not Just what It seems to
be. It is something different, less spec
tacular, with its roots deeper In the struc
ture of modern life. She la certainly not
driving men out of the coeducational col
leges, because where are they going? Not
to men's colleges. Men Increased 70 per
cent In the coeducational institutions be
tween 1890 snd 1SM, and only half as faet
In the men's colleges. Moreover, It Is only
in one department of ths modern Ameri
can university that women re In the
majority, the college of liberal arts. In
the technical schools engineering, forestry,
agriculture we find still some such pro
portion as thirty to 2,000.
Men sre going more and more Into tech.
nlral courses, and so are women, and the
college of liberal arts has become, In point
of fact, a technical school for women.
Teaching Is the cultured occupation which
the most conservative girl may enter with
self-respect, and two-thirds of the girls
In colleges sre preparing to teach. Kxcept
In the few universities which offer peda
gogy, the college of liberal arts Is the only
preparation they can find. As soon ss
more professions open to women, and uni
versities prepare for them, this congestion
in the teaching profession and the college
of liberal arts will cease.
