Girls Schools in France.

An interesting occasion recently
was the observance in Paris of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the open
ing Of public schools for girls, which
were established in France through
the instrumentality of the late Jules
Ferry. The schools supplement the
system instituted for the benefit of
boys, and the facts brought out during
the exercises of Friday show how
wisely the statesmen of the early days
of the present French republic laid
their plans. Putting girls in the way
of attaining an education has led to
gratifying results, says Troy Times,
not the least of which is the training
of a steadily increasing corps of eff
cient women teachers, who are doing
a great work in promoting general in
telligence and self-helpfulness, espe-
cially among those of their own sex.
In this work the government has had
the valuable cooperation of a number
of high-minded and cultivated women
OF prominence who have unselfishly
devoted themselves to promoting the
welfare of Others In France as we'll
as elsewhere education has a most ele.
waiting influence, and the public school
system is a powerful agency for good.
