City Children for the Country.

The earl of Meath, somewhat en-
thusiastic British humanitarian, has
suggested to the London school au-
thorities that children of the elemen-
tary grades be taken from the city
and brought up in model country vii
lagos, the parents to pay only the bare
cost of food, the county council foot
ing other expenses. He urges that in
this way children of the very poor
would have an otherwise unobtainable
chance to grow up strong, healthy and
good citizens. In addition, many of
them would probably stay in the coun-
try, thereby helping to repopulate the
rural districts

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the vet

France stopped one day on country
road to admire the surrounding coun-
try. AS he stood gazing meditative-
ly over the fields he noticed that sew
eral peasants who passed him on the
road bowed and took off their hats
to him. Mr., Stedman was at first
surprised at their salutes in his hon

lite peasants mistook him, but as they
were repeated by peasant after peas

tation had penetrated farther than he
had ventured to suppose AS he moved
away from the spot he happened to
glance behind him. He had been
