pal governments. and by gifts. bequests and other incidental contributions. There are 4.5OOgoO pupils in all the schools. only a quarter of them being girls. Of the female population of the empire only one in ffty-four appears as a pupil: of the males. about one in twenty. In thousands of instances children have to walk from eight to twelve miles a day in going to and from school. and the school term coincides with the coldest and severest weather. Half the army recruits are illiterate. Twenty years ago only one in five could read and write. The greatest chaos prevails in the control and management of these elementary schools. and they come under the direction of nine differ ent departments. Some are secular and some religious. but none are equipped as they should be and as they might be under more efficient administration, though there is not money enough available from public or private sources to carry on the business as it ought to be carried on.
 Russia needs more and better schools. Perhaps some improvement will be made when the cruel war is over.
