i The Co-ed System
I
[Original.]
Miss Rose Ha r?ii mr was trying to
beat the three K's into the heads of the
Ignorant in a small scheolhouse located
tn the midst of a sheep raising country
In the far west. Miss Harding was
the daughter of those who had been
wealthy iu the east. Her father had
died insolvent. l>ut. fortunately for
Rose, he had given her a college educa
tion. The laws of supply and demand
work the same in education as any
where else. Where there is the most
Ignorance there is the greatest need
for teachers. At any rate. Miss Hard
ing received an otter iu Montana and
accepted it. She was surprised to Hud
her scholars of mixed ages, rangiug
from ten tn twenty-six years old. But
she had ti? difficulty in arranging her
classes, for the oldest scholar knew no
more than the youngest. Hut it was
hard work. Rose had taken prizes in
college and was fitted to instruct
young people of advanced scholastic at
taiuuieuts iu the sciences.
Otic morning while she was trying to
teach her scholars how to spell "?yacht"
uud such other Words in the English
language as are spelled farthest
from their sound a sheep herder rode
up to the scliooHiouse door and asked
If auy one had seen a flock of sheep
In the neightKirhood. Miss Harding
put the (|uestiou to her scholars, and J
all answered in the uegative. While
this was being done the sheep herder
was regaling his eyes with the sight '
of the reiined mul comely Miss Hard- I
Ing Such a sight, especially at that I
time, was not usually to l>e had in that |
region, and the herder evidently did j
no; propose to let the opi>ortuuity slip i
-Say. miss." he snid "do you thiul. !
you could drive auy larnin' Into rnj j
noddle *:"
The teacher looked at him scrutiuiz
lngly. He did not look at all stupid,
though he might not even know his
letters.
"That would depend upon what help
you would give me in the matter."
The young raau thrfw himself from
bis horse and. hanging th? reins to a
hook screwed to the cabin for the pur- I
pose, went in and took position in the |
?peliing class."
"Fire away, sehoolmarm," he said, i
"Spoil the word salt."
"S o l t."
"Try again."
"S o il l t." i
"Try again."
"Sau-l-t."
"Once more"
"S-a-w 1-t."
There was a smile on the teacners
face. Although her now scholar was '
evidently more unteachable than any !
of 'nor other scholars the lines of his ;
fine were entirely tiulike theirs. There'
sottVthini; incongruous in his ijj- j
norance and his physiognomy.
"Te-.n-her." said a sin k of twenty- 1
three. "1 k;n toil you how to larn him '
how to s;>e!l ;t. Tell him if he sets it j
right next time he k :i k.ss the purtyest
ST> t iti thf room."
There was i shout of approval of
this pr ",">- r i. :!t Miss TTarding de
murred. M.wev.r, since her scholars
would have it s... assuming that "the
pnrtyesi _-n!" ni.ant those among the
?cholar- s?..- reluctantly consented.
"Very well." sin. said, "try again." j
"S a l r," snapped the I'.erder and ad !

not kiss tb- teacher, would kiss uoue j
of them
"You have struck a vital principle in
pedagogy." >saM Miss Harding to the
herder. There was h twinkle In her i
eye. Perhaps it came from a sus- I
plcion that be knew how to spell the :
word salt from the beginning. "Some
day you may be a teacher yourself and
can Introduce your stimulant among
the co-eds."
The herder looked at ber scrutiniz
Ingly, as if he suspected some covert
meaning in her remark.
"What's co-eds?" he asked.
"I once listened to a very Interesting
lecture on the subject by a young pro- :
fessor, Larued Eton. When you learn
to read I'll give you a copy of it taken j
from a magazine in which it was pub- i
llshed."
This, especially the mention of the
name Laraed Kton. hail a marked ef
fect upon the herder. Her words
"when you 'earn to read'" were spoken ;
In a satirical tone. Kven the thick ?
headed scholars got an idea that there j
was some game going on between their
teacher and the herder. Dropping bis
western way of speaking, the latter
said:
"I fear the plan would not be allow
ed In the co-ed system of the more con
ventional east."
"I marvel." she replied, "that one
who cannot spell a word of one sylla
ble should know the meaning of a
word of two? co-ed."
"I don't. I once thought I understood
the word co-ed. but lately I have con
cluded that my principles were entire
ly wrong. I have today discovered that
the college you attended was altogeth
er too near the ore" ?
"Yon attended."
??I surrender. Your presence in that
audience has spoiled my little game."
"I knew you the moment you rode up
to the door, professor. How came you
to leave a field in which you were cal
culated to shine to take up sheep rais
ing?"
"My mother is at the ranch. She will
call on you. aud when you visit us I
will tell you."
And, mounting bis horse he rode
away, leaving the gaping scholars in a
?t*:c of wonder.
