The Best Educated People Of Europe.
Copenhagen is noted for its educational
institutions, art galleries and museums. The
Danes are about the best educated people of
Europe They have had compulsory SyS-
tenn of education since 1914. and one rarely
finds man or woman who cannot read and
write. There are public schools and all
sorts Of technical schools everywhere. There
are schools for dairy men, schools for farm
ers, for beer makers and for everything
under the sun.
The Thorwaldsen Museum Is one of the
finest in Europe and singularly enough it is
devoted to the works of one sculptor
Thorwaldsen was educated at the Academy
of Copenhagen and later on In Rome. He
soon developed into a great sculptor. and
as such did more work perhaps than any
other of his kind. In this one museum there
are eighty statues. 100 busts. three large
friezes and 240 reliefs in marble. His
works are of wonderful beauty, and they
are famous all the world over. Among the
objects is model of the Swiss lion, which
he carved out OI Tie IOCh at AuSCi AO IA
memory of the Swiss guards defense of the
Tuilleries.
Another great man Of Copenhagen was
Hans Christian Andersen, the writer of the
fairy stories There is monument to him
here in the heart of the city, on one side Of
the pedestal of which Is engraved picture

side a little child riding on the back Of a
stork.
Andersen was born in the little Danish
town of Odense. HIS father was. shoe
maker, and his mother wanted to make her
boy tailor. Young Hans, however, has a
boOkish bent. and his ambition was to be-
come famous by writing. He left home with
