COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN GER
MANY. Ia, -..fa.r.

AS to compulsory education in
Germany, the police officers of the
community keep list of all the chill
dred who have arrived at school age.
This list is put into the hands of the
school which now becomes re-
sponsible for the attendance of all
those marked in tho register. The
master of the school prepares period
ically list of absentees who are sun
excused" and it then becomes duty
of the board to call upon the parents
or guardians of each child and admon-
ish them. If the offense is repeated,
the pane ofthe child is communicated
to the police, and the offending par
ent is mulcted in small fine for each
days abseuce, nonpayment being fol-
lowed by Imprisonment. In Berlin
and other towns where the school
board has more control over the school
committee of the board assesses and
collects the fine, subject to the right
of appeal by the delinquent to the
magistrate. In Wurtemberg, the UNI
excused absences are rare; and in
Saxony hardly a child, we are told, is
overlooked. Here, the days the child
is absent from school are recorded,
and have been made good under the
pain of the refusal of the rite of oon-
iirmation at tho expiration of the
eight years' term of schooling.

St. Louis Freight by New All Rail Route

St. Louis Freight by New All Rail Route.
We are glad to notice that merchants and
shippers are availing themselves Of the new
routes of transportation, and that competi-
ton has the effect to reduce not only the
prices of freight but the cost of breadstuffs
and provisions.
Between six and seven thousand barrels
of -four have arrived here since last Satur-
day, from St. Louis, which came over the
Iron Mountain, Mobile and Ohio, and New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroads, with
out breaking bulk. in four days, at eighty
cents per barrel freight, clear of insurance.
This is rapid transit, and low rate of
freight. The time by the river, in the pres
ent stage of water, is from ten TO fourteen
days. Landing the -four in the depot saves
the necessity and expense Of removing
within twelve hours, as required by the
levee regulations, and also the expense of
covering with tarpaulins to shelter it from
the weather.
The New Orleans, Mobile and Texas rail
road trains also bring in considerable guam
titles of provisions from st. Louis, which
come by the Iron Mountain route. The
outward freight for Alabama and other
points is increasing over the Mobile route.
For these facts our reporter is indebted to
Captain w. ]. Phelps, the courteous and
efficient freight agent of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas railroad.

illustrated work, entitled, "Scrambles

both as an artist and a climber, entities him
at once to the respect of the critic and the
adventurer. The wood engravings, one
