Berlin has conveived novel plan of
furthering the right development of chill

of city and country children. Thus the
poorer classes of Berlin, who cannot af-
ford family outings, are enabled TO send
their children to the country, and in ox-
change they receive the children from the
country home, who are thus provided wi \
the liberal education town life affords. Re-
