And as he took his place at the head

An Incomplete Education.

Ignorance, even dense ignorance, is
often to be met with in this country
of public schools, but it is seldom that
one finds a mali in all his senses whose
mind does not contain some suspicion
of world beyond his potato-patch or
logging-camp. Among the European
peasantry, however, education is often
absolutely unknown. Sad to say, a
conversation which occurred between
a French conscript recently taken
from his farm and the adjutant Of his
regiment is not unique, although it
may sound so.
"Come!. said the adjutant. "You are
Frenchman-a soldier; do you know
why you are here instead of working
in the fields? 1 ask you why you are
here-a soldier: You give no answer.
Have you never heard of the Ger
mans?''
