sixth standard boy. Under the former system boy took his primary certifi- cate, which qualities for lower govern ment posts, at II or so, then spent six years getting his secondary certificate, and then perhaps went on to the train ing college or the schools of medicine or of law. Consequently he might easily be the father of very fair sized family years before he started to earn piastro.
 Lately, by shortening the secondary course from five years to three, real effort has been made to get boys out of hand and into the world before 20 or so. When we got on to the top form of the secondary school, there was no appreci- able difference i'll the sort of boy--all befezzed, all overcoated, most mustach- ed, all grave, as if school were matter of life and death.
 There is no difficulty in point of dis eipline with the Egyptian schoolboy. The French masters have some trouble sometimes, 1 was told, but in the very, very rare cases where an English master finds his classes too much for him he must go. It will not do to bring up the young in the idea that they may set at naught the authority of an Englishman.
 And what, when all is said and done, of the Egyptian schoolboy? Does he do any good in return for the patient, ill. tel1igent, honest care his English inns. ters bestow on him? We'll, he is learn. ing to play football, and that will be good for him, only when boy says to his master, after playing the Egyptian Sandhurst, ''Tho ground was too undu lating; it recalled to me Hannibal s passage of the Alps, why. then. you perceive that even football will not nee. essarily turn prceocious man into q boy again. He is astonishingly indus trious The difficulty is not to make him work, but to prevent him from overworking Eight hours home work after five and half i'll school is by no means an unknown performance. Some of his work in English literature which I saw compares quite well with that of university extension students at home, but, like theirs, it reads very textbooky. He has an aston shing gift for Ian. guages, and he cah appreciate play of Shakespeare with ghosts or witches in it and a good allowance of florid meta. phor, 10 worse-perhaps better-thaa an English schoolboy.
 But at the end of it all he is parrot. like in his unintelligence incorrigible in his inaceuracy, hopelessly fatuons i'll his dishonesty. He understands ordi- nary English, if you ask him questions, uneommonly well, but he will reel you off page of textbook, understanding the meaning of each word, but without an idea of the connected sense of it.
 Will they ever make boy of himi If skill and trying can do it, they will, and if he can be made boy he can be made man. But it is work against the collar, and it will not be done today or tomorrow --G. ". Stevens in London Mail.

AN EGYPTIAN ETON.
SCHOOLS IN WHICH THE RICH BOYS
 OF CAIRO ARE EDUCATED.

Difficulties That English Teachers Have to
 Contend With Pupils Are Boys In Name
 Only. For the Egyptians Have No Gen.
 uine Youth.
 They were training for the sports. In the sunny playground was row of big, fat boys-thorgh none of them came within six inches of the slim. young, befezzed English head master-h hanging on to rope made fast round tree. The trained instructor from Aidershot-h not so young or slim as he has been, but with muscles all india rubber and steel-was teaching them the tug of war. His white toothed, black faced, khaki clad Sudanese assistants were helping him
 was in the Egyptian Eton It was one of three schools originally founded for training teachers capable of giving instruction in English or French. But now it contains primary and secondary schools and a training college for the teachers, so that 1 was i'll fair way to see at its best summary of the whole system of public instruction in Egypt It is only in its infancy as yet.
 First we went into the primary school. There were not many pupils be- cause the fees here are high-as much as $60 and $75 a year for day boys and nobody much comes to the primary part except those who have failed else- where and whose fathers think the high fee guarantee of high cramming. The primary course i'll Egypt takes four years; ill the first, only Arabic subjects are taught; after that, English or French is introduced and gradually ex- tended till in the two last years it takes 13 hours out of tue weekly 33 All the instruction i'll languages is given in the language itself but by natives. Only one-EngHsh or Freneh-is taught, but that is taught thoroughly.
 In the lowest class there were just four boys-absard little owls with the gravity of old men, dressed in fez and overcoat. They were getting drawing lesson from an elderly Arab with q SHAWL TOuuu HIS Ueuu. " uen W6UL Ill, they all stood up and saluted. In the highest class they were having an Eng fish lesson from a young native in a large butterfly tie. Their English was thick and sloppy so. if it came to that, was the masters. Still you could under stand it. In this class mustaohes were already budding, and it seemed strange to hear young men reading infantile stuff about the sparrow.
 The great difficulty in schools like this arises from the fact that Mussul- man is never a boy. AS soon as he leaves the harem and is no longer baby he jumps at bound to being man. A boy will do well iii his classes mp to IA. 15, 16, and then suddenly the cafes and hasheesh and lights O love claim him, and from bright eyed urohin he be. comes a sallow, fashy, sodden, stupid, dissipated man about town. In one pri- mary school two boys, Is and l4, have just been married-not betrothed, you know, but really married, and living with their wives The native master saw nothing extraordinary in married

ANuNwILLlNo RECRUIT.
The Departure OF n Young sioilian VINO
Had Been Drafted Into the Army

From the Youths Companion
More than one American family OF
today can remember the time when, IN
the season of the country's need, the
young son of the house went TO tne war
but probably not one American ianity
can quite enter into the spirit OF the scene
described by Mr.. William Agnew faooh
in his Picturesque SICILY"
The boy who went to the war In Amer
ics was fred by love Of his country ana
though, when the farewell came, he set
his teeth hard and felt his eyes moisten
dear ones gathered round the home gate,
his heart beat too strongly with patriotism
to make the occasion one of unmixed sor-
row.
That glow of patriotism is wanting In
the case OF the recruit of some other lands
to Judge by Mr.. Paton's description. 1t
is one thing to join the army because OF
the country's need and quite another to
go as the result of being drafted, with
no thought but that of bitterness at the
| hardness of ones lot.
Near La Chiesa del Carmine Mr.. Patton
saw young recruit, newly drafted, tax
ing leave OF his family. He was very
young, badly OF an age to ht him Tor
military service. This may perhaps serve
as an excuse for the fact that. in spite of
his new uniform, he stood in the middle
OF the road crying like a baby as he
poured his tale OF woe into the ears OF his
younger brothers and sisters, and posi-
bly, his cousins ALSO for some ten or
twelve children were grouped round him,
standing or kneeling Upon the pavement
all Of them weeping bitterly.
The boys mother, her eyes red and her
hair disheyellod, was delivering to a dozen
or more of her friends TRADE against
the injustice OF compelling her boy to
serve Ia the royal army. Opinion seemed
unanimous, for ell gave their unequivo-
| cal and vooiferous assent TO her PROPOSE
tons and complaints
The lane was full nj women. There
| were few men, only those being there
who were too old to work. The windows
and doors of the hon ses were occupied by
other women. all gestioulating and al
When the Sergeant. good -natursd fell
low, who had permitted his charge TO halt
on bis way to the railway station,
away. the scene in the lane besgared de-
| soription. The children gave loud voice
to their sorrow, this mother frantically
| kissed her boys face, hands, and cloth
| ing. and even, by hrowing herself upon
the ground, managed TO kiss his feet.
Then, rising to her knees, she olenched
both hands. and, lifting them toward
heaven, seemed to be calling down ven
geapoe on the Sergeant and all set in au-
thority over him who had rart or lot in
/ the taking of her son from her
| When last seen she was being lei into
her house by her sympathizing friends,
| while the children, crying and gesticulat-
| Ing, followed the young recruit to the
corner of the street, where they shrieked
| last farewell to the newly made soldier
who trudged beside the Sergeant weeping
aloud.

The two rival New York papers which

Mckinley for his kind hearted war. -

The New York Times asked several
governors what were. their views as to the
future of the Philippines. Governor At
kinson of Georgia thinks it would BIS "a
mistake to annex any territory that might
result from our war with Spain" Gov
ernor Johnston of Alabama thinks we
had better catch our hare first, but in
any case looks with apprehension on a de-
parture from our traditional policy.

gently until the war is over.

The way TO end the war quickly Is to
smash Spain's navy. When that is gone
nothing will be left for her to do but to
surrender Cuba will then be abandoned
because Spain will see the utter futility
of trying TO hold on TO it.SShe could not
get another soldier into the island, while
we could pour in million with little
trouble To continue the struggle won Id
simply mean the determination OF the
army she now has there and her financial
ruin for there would not be the slightest
chance of her being able to avert either OF
these oalamities. When Cervera's feet is

A doubt is now raised ab out the pres
ence of the whole Of Admiral Ceryera' s
feet at Santiago, the Spanish ambassa-
dorm claiming that only the Cristobal Co.
lon is there. While this statement is not
by itself worthy Of much oredenoe, 1t is a
fact that the Cristobal Colon was the
only Spanish ship that showed herself
and participated in the fight on Tuesday.
1t does not follow Of course that she
was the only Spanish vessel there, yet
this circumstance does TO some extent
tend to corroborate the Spanish ambassa-
doris assertion. On the other hand the
fact that none Of them have been seen
anywhere else is pretty strong proof that
they are all there. There is only one 9TH
er hsrbor in which they would be likely
TO be, and that is Cienfusgos. But that
has been visited and none found.

An Imperial policy can undoubtedly be
made very profitable to the few who
who gobble up the opportunities 1t affords
for power and pelf. But to the many
it means more taxes for standing armies
and big nayies, to say nothing of the
numerous OWL officers who will have to be
employed at fat salaries, and hence less
means with which to provide themselves
with the comforts of life. imperial
policies appeal strongly to the imagina-
ton and also to the pocket books of the
masses.
