women. Besides these there are the
large, imperial schools, called insti.
tutes, which are also distiuctively for
young women. The students are all
dressed in uniform; when they 60 home
they are allowed to leave it off, but
when returning, it must again be don.
ned. The fee paid upon entering COW
ers the expense of the wardrobe. These
imperial schools have been endowed by
an emperor or empress and usually
bears his or her name. Some of them
are set apart for the nobility. None
of these institutions are very recent,
as can be seen in the uniform. The
dresses are very simple and coarse, cut
decollette and worn with white cuffs
and aprons. The same costume is used
by the students among the nobility as
by the pupils from the comomn people.
In every school in Russia a priest
comes once day and teaches the ritual
and the meaning of the vestments.
While the ignorance throughout the
country is widespread, yet, as a rule,
town children know how to read and
write. No fault can be found with
the universities of Russia The ex-
pense of attending them is very low
and the system of education adopted
by them most admirable. The students
are allowed to live anywhere they
please Moscow has FIVE thousand, and
there are many thousands in St. Peters
burg, which is the center of the univer-
sity life of Russia. The fees amount
ing to not more than sixty rubles a
year, or $50 in American money, at
tract an enormous number of students.
Scores of peasants attend the universi-
ties-a laundress in Moscow keeps her
son at the highest institution of learn
ing in that city. The inducements held
out to men in that grade of life are
very strong, not only does a boy pass
from the peasant class when he finishes
at the university, but he no longer has
to carry peasants passport.
The Chin-Graduation Of Rank.
Every one who serves in Russia, of
any sort, is on the steps of the official
ladder. "Jen" is the term used by
them, meaning graduation of rank. In
English it is "chin." For instance,
a lieutenant makes for himself about
the twelfth or thirteenth chin. When
he becomes colonel, he has reached
the eigth, when a general the fourth.
When he gets to be noble, he becomes
an hereditary nobleman; that is, all of
his descendants are also noble forever.
The system was devised by Peter the
Great. Upon his ascent TO the throne,
be found existing a vast number of |
persons living on landed estates. He
wanted to enlist them in the service of :
he empire, so he resorted TO the chin
process in order to gain them. There
s more honor attached to serving the
itate than in being prince. More
attention is paid to him who has at
aimed through personal effort than to
he one who has merely inherited for

large building temporarily. then as
usual, without trial, for Russia has no
courts as we know them, there follows
a repetition Of the old story, The po-
litical eases are adiudicated by the po-
lice. The governor of Moscow is al
lowed to arrest any one he pleases aud
send him away without trial. So
cialism in Russia takes the form of
Nihilism. This is the result Of force
of circumstances There is no free
dom of utterance; no meetings are al
lowed to be held by those who are in.
clined to radical turn of thought;
the press is throttled, so opposition
takes the form of violence. The Nihil-
lists are almost wholly the poor stu
dents; the rich ones are satisfied. The
vast majority of the former belong to
the peasant class. The students con
stitute the educated, coming Russia. A
sociologist, with these facts in hand, is
prepared to draw some tremendous con.
clusions in reference to the future Of
the mighty empire upon which the gaze
of the world is at present fixed.
A Gagged Press.
When students are arrested, no
mention is made of the fact in the
press; all information concerning such
matters has to come from English and
American papers, for those of Russia
are absolutely gagged. Every paper
and magazine that finds its way to the
postoflices from foreign countries is
thoroughly read by the government in
spectors, and every article which crit
icises Russia in the least degree, or
announces events derogatory to it's
policy, is rolled through printing
press and blotted out. 1t is n common
thing to sec whole columns a mass of
black. The Russians are thus kept in
complete ignorance Of what atrocities
occur in their own country; but when
the English and Americans living there
find the blotted-out pages in their pa
pers, they at once write home and get
their friends to send them the pro-
seribed articles in a letter. In this
way they keep Informed. In pension
lately in Moscow there was company
of young men hailing from France,
Greece, Persia and some were Russians.
They all said to me, "We are in utter
ignorance concerning what is transpir
ing in this country, Can you tell us
