It has been decided by the managers of the Central London School District to abolish tho system of co-education. In tho course of a discussion it was stated that the mixed svstem made the girls disheartened and indifferent and hampered the progress of girls and boys alike. Ihey needed different kinds of education and different treatment. If the boys were, to make sound educational progress, the girls had to bo constantly urged forward _ to keep pace with tliem. Inhke the girls, tho bovs required hustling. With the. girls, gentleness, modesty, patience, and a good grasp of all domestic accomphshmonjts would probably be of greater future service than mathematics, science, or geometrical drawing. The boys, however, needed thoso things. Obituary.

In the discussion at the Anglican Church Congress at Stoke (England) on "Industrial Employment aud their Dangers," Prebendary H. V.

She said. "Do you knowthat the cup you art drinking from is made with IcacUess glazor" "Oh, yes," I said, "I knew quite well the moment I saw it." (Laughter.) She was surprised. He said, "If yon look at it, you will, see littlo pin-points... all. over _ it where, the glaze has not flowed over it." .(Laughter.).. And lie told her that though in her kindness of heart she'was" satisfied with a cup like-that, yet her dealer in Wellington would probably return it to the maker as unsatisfactory.
