Swiss Public Schools,


The next reason why the Swiss fare
well is that their public school sys-
TEN is probably the best in the world,
n with them public school education
is practically compulsory. YoS can
send your child-t5-a private school Gin
~e18ntons) if you insist upon so
doing, but The face Of the Government
and the force of public opinion are
sternly against the practice. In the
canton of Solothurn private schools are
absolutely forbidden. In other can
tons a private school pupil must Sc
cure a formal permit from the local
authorities, and in some cantons he
must pay a charge to the public funds.
The idea is that the public schools
are good enough for all, that rich
and poor are to meet there on even
terms, that the public school is the
nursery of democracy and patriotism;
above all, that democracy is the life
blood and strength and very soil OF the
republic, and the republic is Switzer-
land, and without the republic Switz-
erland is nothing. Private schools for
Swiss children are few in number, and
such as exist are under strict super
vision of the State. Education is a
serious matter in Switzerland; there is
no escape from ii. A parent must
send his children to school or go him
self to Jail. They kept q Seventh Day

Painting the Iily,

In the vicinity of the Duomo, IN
Florence, are the bronze gates that
Michael angelo SAID were fit to be the
gates of Paradise. Once they were
covered with exquisite enamel work.
The decorators gilded the bronze with
gold leaf. 3ut the veneer was very
thin: soon the damp, the cold, the heat,
cracked the delicate frosting and now
it is all gone. To-day the gates stand
forth clothed only in their simple splen.
dor. And yet, behold the rich bronze
is more beautiful in its simplicity than
with its gilded eneer. The storms
were kind to the gates and removed
what was meretricious and gaudy and
restored them to their native beauty.
So men have painted portraits of
Jesus; they have tried to paint the
lily and gid refined gold" But we go
back to the portraits of the gospels and
in their simple portlnyals find a beauty
that had been lost.

The Paris underground railway is
beginning to be a cause of alarm. Sub
sidences have taken place, and more
are apprehended. The scene of one
such incident is the Rue de Chabrol,
and now another is reported from the
Boulevard de Charonne. Here a new
ly-erected building of six stories has
begun to show a decided list, and is
being hurriedly shored up by supports.
From a report made by technical OBJ
erver there is some ground for fear
that there has been some defect in
dealing with the subsoil, and that the
constant vibration of trains is finding
out the weak places.
