Small cantons Support Many Schools
of Great Reputation.

Geneva is only one of the universe
ties Of little Switzerland, according to
Charles F. Thwing, in Harper's Maya
zine. Basel, founded in 1910; Laus'
anne, founded as an academy in 1881
and AS a university in 1890; Zurich,
founded in 1892; Bern, founded In
1884; Freiburg, founded in 1SS9-have
each secured a high educational place
though in its historic impressiveness
Geneva Is unique. But Geneva and
her five companions are noble Illus
trations of the spirit and power OF
democracy. Their support is derived
largely from the cantons in which
they are located.
Although the constitution OF lS4s
authorized the federal government &c
erect and to- maintain a polytechnic
school and university. the university
has not been established. The can
tons support their universities with a
willingness which is as great as oh
tains in the state of the American

rich is maintained by a common,
wealth of only $4,000 people, and with
in an area of less than 700 square
miles. Basel, with a population OF
less than 100000. supports its uni
versity. They are examples OF the
power of an enlightened democracy
which interests itself in the highest
education. This interest is not con
fined, either, to the cause Of liberal
learning. For the technical schools
of Zurich are among the best of the
world.

Fish Cheap in Florida and Cuba.

Commissioner George w. Bowers Of
the Bureau of Fisheries returned the
other day from Florida and Cuba
where he went t O study the culture OF
and the marketing of fish in

Il have always held said Mr.

tors of mankind. AS long as chick

trusts in the world cannot run the
meat market up u~nreasonably, be
cause the masses of people will then
eat chickens and fish,
Mr.. Bowers stated that the fish mar
kets of Havana were a model of eff
ficiency and thoroughness. This con
dition is probably due to the large
number of Catholics who are heavy
consumers of fish.
In Florida Mr.. Bowers found thai
fish were generally eaten and were
remarkably cheap. The negro fisher
