1t is down in tho French quarter that

order business with the mother country.
The telegraph and telephone lines are
under the government and the rates show
the benefit Of government management.
They are as low as in France, and less

or In our colonies. One can telegraph

six cents, and to Gibraltar, but seven.
These are rates for from any part OF
Algeria to any part of the countries mem

lowest telegraph rates Of the world
As to telephones, all the chief Algerian
cities have them. The rates for business

nut bY the Arabs and Moors. There
are also agricultural schools and tech-
meal schools of various kinds through.
out the colony and Mohammedan high
schools where Arab pupils are prepared
Tor native employment. There Is n nor.
MAJ college In Algiers. and not far from
II a military school like that at West
I folht. All the children OF French Gift
2ens. and. Indeed. all children except
those OF the Arabs. are compelled to
attend school between the ages of eight
ana fourteen, and there are common
schoois everywhere. I have found
them on the edge OF Morocco far down
IN the Desert Of Sahara, and also in
Srand kabylia. high up in the Atlas
mountains. In most of the native
schools both French and Arabic are
taught, and IN many places the little
ones write texts from the Koran on
their wooden states and commit them
to memory.
AS to foreign and native religious
houses. these are found in all of the
large settlements. There are Moslem
shrines and mosques everywhere. .>rle
French have a cathedral In Algiers
and the Roman Catholic Church has
an archbishop.
There is a Scotch Presbyterian
Church In Mustapha Superieur, and
there are twenty-one Protestant pas
tors who share In the government
grants for religious support There
are number of libraries and museums
in Algeria. Here in this city the unlver-
stty has one OF eacn and there la also
national library supported by the
French.
One might think that these modern
innovations would change the charac-
ter OF the Arabs. and that they would
throw off the customs and costumes
