even the Germans themselves are far
from being content with their boasted
systematizing of education.
They are crying ont at the obsolete
methods of some departments, the
want Of equipment in others, such as
the technical schools. They are call

the English flag. So also the French.
who freely admit their own failure as
colonists. and who contribute this fail

which is probably the real cause, but
to faults In the education Of their boys.
are publishing constantly careful anal
yses and sober panegyrics upon the
England public-school system, and
calling upon their own rulers to reform
higher French education in that direc-
tion. What they praise above al
things is the liberty allowed to teach
ers and boys. and the consequent va
riety OF life and character permitted
