AS the boys had stood considerable
good-natured chatting in advance of the
game, they naturally thought it was
their turn to make themselves heard. So
after the shower Thursday evening they
armed themselves with tin horns and
other instruments of torture, and for
couple of hours they proceeded to make
the town howl. 1t doubtless discounted
the Fourth of July celebration, and if
there was any one in town who didn't
know that the boys came out on top, he
must have been very hard of hearing.

ESTABLISHED IN THIS COUNTRY.
Paris. Nov THE correspondent here of The
Associated Press has had an interview with
NJ Bouquet. director -in-chief of the depart
ment of technical instruction of the Ministry
of Commerce who confirmed the statement, pub
lshed by the "Matin' to-day. that the Minister
of Commerce. NJ. Millerand. proposes to appoint
a committee to elaborate a plan for the estab-
lshment of a French school in the United States
devoted to the study of American industrial
methods Nj. Bouquet said:
NJ Mierand himself is the initiator of the
scheme We realize that America now leads
the van in Industrial progress. She is far ahead
of England Germany and ourselves in organiza-
ton and methods of work Hitherto we have
been sending numbers of engineering students
Germany, England and Belgium put the
minister has come to the conclusion that the
field which offers the greatest profit in their
study is the United States. He has therefore
resolved to concentrate his efforts there. A few
students will still be sent to European countries.
to study special Industries. but for general tech
nical education they will go to the United
States where they will be able to study under
competent guidance that audacity, inventive
genius and marvellous organization which has
lifted the industrial world of America above
those of her European rivals
A central bureau. or college, VIII De eStaD-
lished at Philadelphia. with a director and
couple of sub-drectors who will be fully ac-
dustries under their guidance.
The students will examine works specially
chosen for superior methods and the newest
plants
The step we taking ought not to excite
suspicion as II is really homage to the United
States. The students Will not go to discover in
dustrial secrets. but to finish their education:
and before the scheme is put into execution we
shall ask the cooperation of the American Gov
ernment and the leading American Industrial
concerns. The expense Will be met partly by
Parliamentary grant and partly by subscrip-
tions raised among the French chambers OF com
merce the Industrial associations and the big
Industrial concerns of this country. Many en-
couraging promises have already been received.
We hope the scheme may be carried out early
next year.
