NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Journal of Education thinks that "Harvard is fast approaching the position of co-education. The strongest arguments against co-education can be made with reference to the medical department of a college, and the recent close vote on this question is a clear indication that the division wall between the sexes in education will soon be broken down at 'old Harvard.' "

The fact came out in an investigation of the State Agricultural College of Pennsylvania that the ways of students there are wonderfully free. Witnesses swore that boys of ten to twelve drink and smoke; "that some little fellows had pipes in their months all day long, and would frequently stagger into the class-room in a state of intoxication;" that the fumes of rum and tobacco were strong in the hall, and that one lad had an attack of delirium tremens.
