Teachers Coming from England, lreA
 land, Scotland and Wales.

Washington, Sept 20.-One of the most extensive and important pil- grimages to America ever under taken from foreign country has been planned by Alfred Mosely. the British philanthropist and promoter of international comity and influence. He has arranged to send to this country 500 school teachers of Eng land, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, for the purpose of affOrding them op- portunity to study American educa- tional and civic methods. Mir Mose- ly believes that the observation and education afforded the teachers by the trip will be of inestimable advan- tage to them in their work and, event. ually, will be of lasting benefit to the mass of school children of the United Kingdom
 Three years ago MT Mosely brought to the United States a party of British workingmen, representing all the industrial trades of Great Britain. merely for the purposes of observation and study. The men vis- tied the principal cities of this coun- try and Canada. studying closely the industrial situation in each. They were admitted to practically all of the great factories on this continent. President Roosevelt received them at the White. House and they were ac. corded cordial receptions by thet municipal authorities of the cities in- cluded in their itinerary.
 The success attending that project induced Mir Mosely to organize sim- far pilgrimage for, the school teach CTS. Dr Murray Butler. president of Columbia university of New York. is cooperating with MT Mosely in com pleting arrangements for the trip. In fact. Dr Butler is making all of the arrangements for the pilgrims in this country. After consultation with the educational authorities of Great Britain. MT Mosely has select ed the teachers who are to make the trip. They will come to this country at the rate of twenty-five or thirty each week between November 1 and March 1. The steamship trust has entered into the scheme by agreeing to furnish the transportation for each teacher at the nominal rate of 925, which just about will pay the provis- ion and laundry bills. Mir Mosely will pay this expense himself and. In addition, will contribute liberaily to the expenses of the teachers while they are in this country. Other philanthropic persons in, Great Brit ain arc contributing to the expense fund also, and 1t is expected that the teachers will be able to make the pilgrimage practically without cost to themselves
 In this country and in Canada such arrangements have been made us will reduce the expense to Q minimum. The itineraries of the various parties will include the principal cities in the eastern and middle western states. the trip extending no farther west than Chicago. Boarding arrange ments at an average rate of S1.50 Q day have been made. In the United States the teachers will visit New York, New Haven, Boston, Philadel. phia. Baltimore. Washington and Chicago, while in Canada. Toronto. Quebec. Montreal and Ottawa will be the cities visited.
 The teachers will remain in this country and in Canada an average of three weeks and will study the sys- tems in operation in the public schools and important educational institutions.
