HOW THE NATIONS
COtTO SCHOOL
ii. Boatwrigh:'tt W Delivers Inter.
csting Discourse on Educa-
tional Status iii Europe.

x
Tie last lecture Of the course delivered
by the professors of Richmond, College
was given by President BoatWright last
night In the college chapel. His subject
was .grhc Present Status OF Education
in Europe. n
4trhe expectations Of the large and APP.
preciative audience were fully realized
IL was one Of the most interesting ana
Instructive lectures delivered this ses-J
sion. F
+. During tho course OF his speech Presi-.
dent Boatwright outlined the systenls
of education In Germany. France and
England. AZ
DR.. Boatwright, himself one time a
student in Germany, spoke enthusiast
cally OF the system there. There are
twenty large universities, all famous ard
embracing among their faculties men OF
worldwide reputation. To become q
doctor Of one OF these universities is to
attain the highest honor in Germany
This raises the man Of humblest origin
TO the level Of the lords Of the realm;
The respect shown to the German pro-
lessor falls little short of yeEeratiOn.s8 a
Tho courses @offered are perhaps the
most advanced IN the world. emil racing
literature, art. medicine, law and eco
nonlicH. sa3 WI s Ills; ,i35 ssai.
Polytechnical schools are making great
progress also in Germany. and four nave
been established In Prussia, winch CONFER
the degrees Of doctor Of engineering.
In France, the educational s system Is
comparatively recent, dating from lSo7.
Everything Is highly centralized, like
tho government. Schools of law, medl-
cine. art. etc, are combined in one great
cooperative system. In the lower grades
education is compulsory. TIE custom or
having religious instruction given has
been abolished. Now no teacher#is al
lowed to wear the robes of the Catholic
Church, as formerly. The French are
Catholic in name. but Nationalist IN
thought ard action
In England education at the great
universities OF Oxford and Cambridge Is
somewhat behind the times. oratonrnai-
lists and diplomats. perhaps no better
school could be found than the latter but
| for law, medicine and business these
courses would not be of SO great value. e
| IT. all countries the same defects IN
education are noticeable. Children VIII
not stay in school long enough t. de-
rive all the benefit possible from them.
There are too many women teac hers'
from the fact that the compensation IS
too small to attract the class OF men
needed, and there is too little interes
taker in general education By the clti-
gems Of the different countries.
In closing, DR.. Boatwright very grace
fully alluded to the educational exhibit
! ton at st. Louis, and wished that all
present would attend and see with their
| own eyes the advance that had been
made in this important public trust, ard
become enthused with the spirit Of edu-
lacational progress 3#
