f, that during the
last year she has not lost a single recitation from ill-health.

The eighth I have heard from, from time to time; first, as a successful
teacher, then as a successful housewife, never as an invalid.

The tenth was for many years a most earnest teacher. It is over a year
since I heard from her. She was then well.

The eleventh is Preceptress of the Normal School at Ypsilanti, Michigan.
She is known throughout the State as one of its successful educators. I
heard her read last week a most interesting paper, before the State
Teachers' Association. She looks as if continuous education and
continuous teaching had both been good for her. When asked what she
thought of Dr. Clarke's book she laughingly answered, "Look at me."

The twelfth answers from Illinois: "I am in good health, and so are my
six boys. The two oldest are almost ready for college. They will, of
course, go where their mother went. I am daily thankful I studied at
Oberlin."

Away from the plains of Kansas comes the cheering words of the
thirteenth: "A troop of merry children; good health, and a happy home."

The fourteenth writes: "Why do you ask if I am sorry that I studied at
Oberlin? It is the subject over which my husband and I can grow
enthusiastic at any time. My health impaired there? _No._ We hope to
send our daughter soon."

The fifteenth we have not heard from for some time. We only know that as
a minister's wife her life has not been an idle one. Ten years after
graduating she was in ordinary health.

The sixteenth. Again we hear no response. "In Memoriam" is written over
her grave.

The seventeenth lives in Mississippi. She was well when visited by some
of our Union boys during the war. I have no later report to give.

The eighteenth certainly does not count herself an invalid; and

The nineteenth, who was, as a school-girl, the very personation of
energy, looks forward to years of useful labor.

We are told that we must not look at the blooming class on graduation
day for the effects of co-education. We have not. We have waited
seventeen years. Have we found anything there to frighten even a
physiologist?

The theory of Oberlin has never been identical co-education, except in
the class-room. There "boys and girls are taught the same things, at the
same time, in the same place, by the same faculty, with the same
methods, and under the same regimen." But she has never held,
practically or theoretically, "that boys
