Professor Andre L. Chevillon, who
holds the chair of English literature in
the University of Lille, France, and who
Is on the staff of Frances greatest illus
trated periodical. the sReview of Two
Worlcso (Reuue des deatr Mondes). is now
at the Templeton and will be there for
several weeks. Professor Chevillon,
tnouga but % years OF age, has already
had the honor to be appointed bv the
French minister of education one of eight
delegates to the International educational
convention at the fair, and has attended
the convention. He speaks English
fiuently and correctly with but little
| accent and is very well informed on ali
subjects on which he cares to talk. He
has brother here, Louis Chevrillon. who
IS connected with the Butterheld Mining
company.

The professor says that the congress at
the lair was success. as 1t brought about
better understanding of the different
educational systems of the countries rem
resented. Each French delegate made a
speech, and all listened with great interest
10 the speeches OF the Americans, It
was difficult for the foreigners
to understand the American school
systems, as there are so MANY
differences between the various state
schools and the state universities and
national universities. Then there are
branches OF learning, such as higher
Latin and Greek and philosophy, which
are taught in the high schools in France.
but are taught here only in the UNIVERSE
ties. But, he says, the American system
seems to be very good, and will compare
well with the systems of other countries.
The great universities, Howard, Yale and
John Hopkins, he thinks are better than
Oxford and Cambridge in England, as
they go as high and are much broader.
They are as good as any OF the institutions
OF Europe.

The professor is a member OF the active
army yet and has thought great deal on
the possibilities OF a European war. He
realizes that war in these times does moi
mean the simple sending out of an army
OF &C, 600 or 100. 900 men to fight another
army OF the same size and for
the rest of the nation to look
for the issue with calmness. 1t means
that in the warning countries the farmer
will be called from his pillow, the LAWYER
from his books, the clerk from his desk.
the professor from his chair and the arti,'
san from his tools, all to be mingled TO-
gether in vast army that is to face al
most certain humiliation. Victory means
utter destruction of the conquered and
almost total prostration of the conqueror.
With this to face there is doubt as to
whether there is man In Europe who
will dare let war cloud appear upon the
horizon. The Siamese difficulty caused
some fears of French and English
trouble, but both powers recognized
that any difficulty might precipitate a
war in which all Europe must necessarily
join. Happily, all cisagreements were
smoothed over and a disaster aYerted.

Professor Chevrillon has written a
thirty-four page article for the ssRevue
des denx Monces, - in which he treats OF

The passage of the German army bill
will not necessarily cause any increase In
the French army, as the addition of 40. O00
men to an army which numbers 8 600 200
does not make much difference. And
again, the army bill was designed
simply to meet the last increase
in the French army. The fact that
Europe is one great army camp makes
foreigners wonder when they see SO few
evidences of the existence of the military
in the United States. The American
army OF %, 600 men would hardly make a
