without any charge whatever. ofthe teachers,
eighty seven were laymen, and only seventeen
belonging to religious societies. The total
number Of persons who attended the schools
was twenty-five hundred and forty. eight men
and two hundred and seventy-four women. A
comparison Is made between the state OF pri-
mary education at the present time and that OF
thiriy-five years ago, when primary schools
were organized In all the communes of France.
In 1893 the proportion OF illiterate oonscripts
was 4S SO per cent; In 1853 1t "a 80 per cent:
gain of Ia A per cent In twenty years, or 0'72
per annum. The adult classes are gradually
being completed by the addition OF scholastic
libraries, the teachers, as we'll as the poor scho-
lars themselves, contributing the collections.
The movement is so unanimous says the report
in question, that 1t cannot be arrested. and 1t
may safely be predicted that before long France
will occupy high place among the nations
most famous for popular education.

EDUCATION IN FRAECE-The Minister OF
Public Instruction in France has published the
"Statistics of Adult Glasses for the year lS67S"
During the past winter 27 9O2 adult classes for
men were opened In 26,l93 communes, and
4429 classes for women in 40S4 communes; and
the number of persons who attended them
amounted to 779.373, of whom 95.28l were
women. These figures are, however. inferior
TO those OF the preceding year; for. says the
document in question, II there has been no
falling off in zeal, and If the teachers deserve
the highest commendation, the winter was
long and rigorous, the cold rendering commu.
nication dificult, especially in mountainous
parts, while to other difficulties was added the
dearness OF provisions. In some rural COM
munes a portion OF the population was COM
PEELED to emigrate. Yet, in spite of these ex-
ceptional circumstances, a general desire to
attend the adult classes was evident; mar
ried men and women, in many instances
no longer young, were often to be seen at the
evening schools for months. or the whole
number that attended the adult classes, at least
one.half were in a state OF complete ignorance.
or had q most imperfect knowledge OF the most
elementary matters; and 1t appears that there
were certainly not eighteen thousand who failed
to derive any apprecable advantage from their
attendance at the classes. In Algeria eighty
two Glasses were opened for men, and twenty
two for women, during the year. The whole OF
theke were evening Glasses. and open to all

Tho Financier-s seymour.

MR.. HoRATro SEYMOUR glories In the fact that
he never held dollars worth of United States
bonds during the entire war. What a
wretohed pass has the Democracy come to
that such an assertion as this is received as
the qualification Of its holder to the Office Of
President The finances of the nation are the
most difficult Of all the questions to be settled
in the future. They affect every man, woman
and child on this continent. Yet the man
who is to have the chief post in their man
agement has no personal interest in them.
He never had cents worth Of them, and
will act as though he were foreigner. Why,
any Englishman or Irishman would have as
much at stake in the settlement of this great
question as would Horaio Seymour. Yet he
is to be the fnanoier, and lays claim to Office
because of financial ability. Better have a
Rothschild, with no sympathy, but a shrewd
head, than this non-holder, non-favorer our
national loans.
