The French government maintains an educational in- stitution devoted exclusively to colonial studies and tho training of men for the colonial service; admission to it's classes Is obtained through competitive examl- ratiorsi tho term of study is three years, and tho instructors are men Of high standing both in colonial experience and in the study of economies. While the primary object of this institution is to educate men for the colonial service those who prefer at tho end of their term to devote their efforts to the commercial and agricultural development of the colonies, may do so. The Netherlands government also maintains a training school similar in general character and the English government has a somewhat similar system for the training of men for service in India and the colonies
 "In nearly all of the countries in ques- tion there are excellent and interesting colonial museums, devoted to the exhibi- ton of not only the products of the colo
 
 their population, and in many cases they are accompanied by admirable statistical statements showing the growth in pro duction of the principal articles, and the growth in exports from, and imports into the colonies. Each of the governments maintain a statistical service by which the commerce of the colonies is carefully studied and the share which the mother country supplies of the imports, or re- ceives of the exports, carefully tabulated, the receipts and expenditures of the colo- nies and of the home government on ac- count of them recorded, and the growth of agricultural, commercial and educa- tional conditions noted.
 Especial attention is given in all cases to the ability of the colony to meet the commercial wants of the commercial country. Countries which do not pros duce within their own borders foodstuffs and raw materials required y,their pop ulation, encourage the production in the colonies of the articles thus required at home while the countries which produce their own foodstuffs or raw materials look to the colonies for the tropical pro- ducts which they cannot produce at home and encourage the, production of those articles in the colonies and their distribu- ton in the mother country. The invest- ment of home capital in the colonies is thus encouraged through the assurance given that the products of those colonies will find a ready market in the mother country, the manufacturers and pro- ducers of the mother country are, in turn, assured of an enlarged market in the colonies through the increased con- suming power which accompanies their increased production and sales, and the general prosperity of the colonies through increased production, larger markets and better roads, railways and improved edu- cational facilities, is thus assured | '<<~-<%~>>->~<~-e-> some creature should be allowed to carry on without molestation his important function as a scavenger, and at the same time should be kept out of the places where people eat, sleep and live. When he invades those sanctuaries he ought to be exterminated. but not otherwise. Flies seldom invade houses that are kept clean. They resort to places where any untidi- ness or filth abounds. The fact that 6 place Is haunted by flies proves that it Is in an unsanitary condition Cleanli- ness in all private premises is the only protection against the industrious little scavenger.
