schooIs In France.

The French system of education is
intensely national. Its plan is exactly
the opposite from our own school sys-
tenn. With US the local community
controls primary schools. In France
the local community has no voice in
the matter. The French system is the
most centralized, the most strictly reg
ulated, the most autocratic and the
farthest removed from democratic
ideas of any school system in existence.
The exact uniformity of the schools is
almost unbelievable. The minister of
instruction, sitting in his Office IN Paris,
can tell at any moment just what fable
Of La Fontaine each child of q certaiI
age throughout the whole of France
is reciting. Teachers are not allowed
any latitude at all. The result is to
leave both teachers and scholars al
most completely lacking in mental
originality.-F. A. Vanderlip in Scrib-
ner's.
