Germany, for advertising purposes. The
faculty are anxious to bag the lucrative
American student, and so they set forth
with the artistic touch of a Chicago pro-
moter the advantages which their instl-
tuition of learning offers over all the other
colleges in Germany. Some of the attrae-
tons offered are SO very fn-de-siecIe that
we think our readers cannot fail to find
them amusing. For instance. here is
what is said of the town of Gottingen
in general
The town is a most healthy place. has
an excellent system of drainage and of
WaterWorkS as well.
Its surroundings are lovely. He who

University makes bicycle roads a prom

thinks fit to inform the modest youth
that by attending its courses he may be-
come one of the 'lords of the walk"
But amusing as this is. perhaps our
readers may see even more humor in the
following claim to patronage
Within the city itself we find that the
venerable old Rathaus ttownhalD, with
its tin roof once rather d~ilapidated, is
now externally restored after the old
fourteenth century style together with
the gothic church of st. John. which
stands directly in the rear of the Rath-

You need not drink beer without appro-
