The education that will finally unite in better understood cooeperation all class interests in public well-being is to be found in such use of the school as will show how we are all bound together in industry, as in the political body; in work as in voting power.

That education which, with more or less intelligence and with deeper or more shallow understanding, society is now working toward will make the home life more secure as well as the state more united.
=The Special Education of Girls.=--The application of new educational ideals and methods to the training of girls and young women is of first-rate importance in the matter of home relationship to the school.

And this is the case not only because there are far more women than men at work in carrying out those ideals and methods in the schools but because if there is to be made valid and useful, conscious and definite, union of school and home in one educational approach to childhood it must be largely through the mothers and women-teachers that such union can be effected.

The reasons for this are too obvious to require explanation.
There are those who believe that there is no question of sex-differences in education, that all that is needed is to open all educational opportunities to boys and girls alike and give both precisely the same instruction.

There are also those who still believe that some varying elements of child-training and the instruction of youth should be retained and further developed in the case of boys and girls.
