THE AMERICAN GIRL
As Seen Through French Eyes-SIax
OReil's Lecture.

From the Toledo Blade
That funny little Frenchman known as Max
O'Rell spent six months in the United States
and now he is lecturing in England, giving ais
| impressions Of America As showing how
| thoroughly he has sized up our institutions the
following extract from his lecture is given:
Max O'Rell then proceeded to describe the
| American girl From the age of eighteen the
American girl was allowed almost every liberty;
she took the rest [Laughter.l She travelled
| alone, went to concert or theater alone, she
had reception day and reception room, and
visited and received whom she liked. If at the
| house she saw young fellow who took her fancy
she would say, Il am at home on Wednes-
day. Cali and see me-" He spoke now of the
great bulk OF the American nation. Next day
the young fellow might leave tickets for the
| theater. Theaters aud oysters were very cheap
| in America; also English books, which were
stolen [laughterl-but, worse than that. French
| books were translated into American. Laugh
ter. The young fellow would take the girl to
| the theater. After the theater he would take
| her to a respectable restaurant and order a
| sort of cold lunch, and if he should order half
bottle Of champagne she would probably ask
him what he was going to drink. Laugh
teri Then he would take her home
she had her own latch key. [Laughter.l To
show that this did not lead to the slightest in
| timacy it was just possible that these two would
| meet in q few days and the young girl would
| come to the young man and say: Il want to in
| troduce you to a friend of mine. May ask you
| for your name?" [Laughter.l The American
| woman was tired OF the old European formula
| a woman cannot do this she cannot do that,
| it is improper for her to do this. Oh, but,
| said the American woman, will make il
proper; I will make precedents. He was
| not quite sure that it was not for the women to
make the law in these matters. He would tell
| them why the American women could be SO
| free. 1t was because not only in the day but
at nighttime, even in the largest cities, even on
Saturday nights, the streets were respectable.
| fHear, hear.1 It was the respect which women
| inspired in all men which enabled young
| women there to have such freedom. He could
not say however, that he ever saw in the
| American women any gratitude for what they
received from the men. ILaughter.l

FAMED BY POETRY.
How the Young Duke of burgundy Was
Reclaimed by Fcnelon.

How the Young Duke nf burgundy Wa,
Reclaimed by Fcneion.
Plato thought that boys are the mos
untamable of wild beasts, and hi.
opinion has had eminent supporters
Pope probably meant much the same
thing when he said that school-boys
have no character.
In view of this opinion the story o
Fenelon and the young Duke of Bur.
gundy has IL peculiar significance.
There is, indeed. no more signal cX.
ample of the immense Importance OF
well-conceived, well-directcd methods
of education than the transformation
which Fenelon wrought in his royal
pupil.
a more intractable subject probably
never exercised the wits and patience
of his instructor. Before he was placed
in the hands of Fenelon the Duke was
in simple truth much more OF wild
beast than rational human being.
One of his chief pleasures was in
kicking and biting all his attendants
who approached him. At times he re-
fused to speak word for hours. On
other occasions he would not eat,
though tempted with all the triumphs
of the royal cooks.
His grandfather, Louis XIV, had
been at infinite pains to obtain for him
the most judicious attendants and
tntors, but all had given up their
charge as hopeless. AT length Fenelon
was called in.
Fenelon was not without experience
in dealing with young people, and he
had already written book on educa-
tion, but his peculiar fitness for the
task he had undertaken was that of a
character unique in charm and SYM
pathetic insight.
In Fenelon's dealing with his pupil
he had one leading idea, to which, per-
haps. educationists have not given the
importance it deserves. This idea
was, that for every individual there is
one poet, who above all others appeals
to the deepest instincts of his nature,
and is therefore fitted to be one of the
highest forces in educating the best
qualities of his mind and heart.
Fenelon had not been long with his
pupil before he discovered that with all
his ungovernable passions he had
"Yirgilian soul"---in other words, that
in the depths of the boys nature there
was that which responded to the grace
and tenderness which distinguish Vir.
gil above all other poets.
Virgil accordingly was made the in
strument through whom he sought to
effect his ends. The result exceeded
his hopes. Virgil did indeed become
the Dukes favorite poet, and the chief
formative influence OF his brief life
