Though members Of the assemblies Of

enjoy no such privilege. Hence the

single difficulty, namely, that there Is

hand.

readily be believed, IN view Of the

extent, IN advancing education among

Today the zemstvos are spending hum
dreds Of thousands Of francs for that
purpose. They have also done the coun-

bureaus Of statistics, indeed. II may be
said that no European country excels
Russia In this sort Of work. Another

been the creation Of compulsory fire
