SHALL WABASH ADMIT WOMEN?

A I'resliyterian Minister Wlio Docs Not Favor Ci.-Kcluciitioii sit Wabash College.

To the Editor of Tho Journal. We pa6s the many objections to coeducation in general. We pass also the fact that co-education is in opposition to the intention of the founders of Wabash Cjllege and that its present endowment was given to a non-co-educational school, and that much of it would not have -been given had it been known that WabaBh would ever be open to women, and will endeavor to show that there are objections in the face of which it would be unwise and injurious to open the doors to women.

It is argued that co-education will give a larger attendance. We balieve that facts prove it would lessen the attendance. The fact that that Wabash, non co-educational, has a proportionate attendance much larger than any co-educatioual denominational school in the State, some of them at least equaling Wabash on all of her points, implies that co-education would reduce her attendance. Forty thousand Presbyterians in Indiana and 225 students at Wabash. There are 200,000 Methodist students in the State. To equal Wabash's attendance DePauw should have 1,100 men students, and as it admits women, 'should have an attendance of 1,000 or 1,800. It has about one-third that number. So Wabash has a proportionate attendance three times as great as DePauw. There are 100,000 Church of Christ students in Indiana. To equal Wabash Butler should have more than 500 men students and, adding women, a total of S00 or 900. Butler's enrollment is 2 10. Thus Wabash has an attendance of more than three times as great as Butler. There are a third more Baptists in Indiana than Presbyterians, so Franklin should have more than 500 students to equal Wabash. Franklin's enrollment is 175. This showing of Wabash is increased by the fact that Wabash has more competition in Hanover than DePauw has in Moore's Hill, or Butler in Merom. But some say admit women and Wabash will still retain her supremacy. But the facts are against that statement. Hanover, a co educational institutional.has no superior in the Central States and yet with the same territory to draw from does not equal Wabash in attendance. So, instead of increasing the attendance, the history of other similar colleges goes to prove that co-edu-cation would decrease Wabash's attendance. We need not now discuss why this is so.

Again, women don't want that which Presbyterian colleges in general, and Wabash in particular, emphasizes. A classical educational ever has been and ever must be the measure of high learning. The sentimentalism of this sentimental age may not admit this, but this sentimentalism is passing. Women, as a rule, don't want a classical education. Of the great number of women who graduated from the various schools of Indiana this year, not 40, and probably not :10 (exact figures are difficult to secure), were in classical courses. I. U. had 2, Franklin 2, Butler 5, DePauw 5, an unusual number, as in all its history DePauw has graduated but 75 women in the classical course. Wabash emphasizes the classical course. To admit women means a lowering of the standard. It means a scatteribg of her funds to maintain side issues—music schools, art schools, Delsarte, etc. True, Wabash has an endowment not far from equaling the total of other denominational schools in the State, ominitting

Hanover, which stands second. This, with what shall be received from time to time, is sufficient to maintain herself well under present conditions But scatter her funds over that which admission of women will necessitate and they will become shallow—a poorer service will be maintained, poorer salaries will be paid, and poorer instruction will be bad. Admission of women can be done, with justice to the women themselves as well as to other students only when hundreds of thousands of dollars are forthcoming to build girls' dormitories. music school building, and art buildings, and buy pianos and pipe organs and pay teachers, which multiply more rapidly in music and art schools than in the college work proper.

Again, it is urged that Presbyterian women go to other denominational schools. Now this is true to so small an extent that it is hardly a factor. DePauw has 4 non-resident Presbyterian girls, Franklin 3 or 4, Butler 3 (?). All told there are not 30 Presbyterian non-residents in all the other denominational institutions in the State. There area number in the State University and normal schools because of their peculiar lines of worl. If Wabash could draw on these students it would not to any great extent affect maters. But what assurance have we that Wabash would get them? The fact that Hanover does not get them is a strong presumption that Wabash would not. Interesting information on this subject will be found in the opening of Manchester college to women. To-day Wabash stands unique

in her position and supreme in attendance among all the colleges of the State A lmit women and 6b?. must compete with every other college in I the State, her funds will be scattered and after a thorough investigation we are convinced that her attendance would be decreased. Pre6byterianism in the Central States needs a college to fill the place Wabash is filling. In addition to Hanover, an institution that has no superior in her lines, are Woonter, just over the Ohio Hue to the east, and Lake Forest to the north, and others to the west, all co-educa-tional. These furnish ample opportunity for those wishing co-education-al institution. Let Wabash retain her unique position. Let us build up Westminister Seminary, uniqne in her work for women, and when the fevered sentimentalism that is now exerting such an influence upon the world has passed it will be found that I'resbyteriaus in the central West have ju&t such institutions as are demanded.

Here is a case of inherited blood taint which resulted in what threatened to be a complete wreck of an innocent young life. The most serious feature of being afflicted with a blood disease is the fact that innocent posterity must suffer. The man or woman with the slightest taint in the blood forces the undesirable legacy of impurity upon their children whose veins flow with the impure inheritance which handicaps them in the race of life.

No child who lias a trace of bad blood can be healthy or strong, and those predisposed to Scrofula are liable to a great deal of sickness, because their constitutions are weak and cannot withstand the many dangers which beset the path of childhood. Medical statistics show that a majority of lung troubles result directly from Scrofula, so that a child afflicted with this disease is likely to fall a victim to dreaded consumption.

Mr. W. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. C., believes S.S.S. i9 the only blood remedy which can have any effect whatever upon obstinate cases. He says

My three-year-old boy had the worst case of Scrofula I ever heard of. He

MR. W. A. CLAYTON.

was given many blood remedies without relief, and treated by the best doctors. He seemed to gat worse all the while, however, and the disease finallv resulted in curvature of the spine, making him utterly helpless. "The bad sores on his neck increased in size, and were a source of constant pain. He was in this pitiful condition for two years, when some one recommended S.S.S., stating that it had cured sonic of the worst cases of blood diseases. As soon as his sj-stem was under the effect of the medicine, the sores began to get better, and in eight days were completely healed. Before long lie could walk on crutches, and was improving everjr day. In three months he threw aside his crutches, for he had no further use for them the dreadful disease had been eliminated entirely from his system, and he was restored to perfect health. The cure was a permanent one, as no sign of the disease has returned for ten years."

S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and promptly reaches all deep-seated and obstinate blood diseases, it matters not what other treatment has failed. It is the only remedy which acts on the correct principle of forcing the disease from the system and getting rid of it permanently.

S. S. S. is a sure cure for Scrofula, Cancer, Catarrh, Eczema, Rheumatism, Tetter, and all other blood diseases. It is
