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 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 number
of high-minded and cultivated women
of prominence who have unselfshly
devoted themselves to promoting the
welfare of others. In France as well
as elsewhere education has a most ele.
waiting influence, and the public school
system is powerful agency for good.

A Fortunate Location.

A western Kansas paper takes this
cheerful view of the failure of Kansas
to attract immigrants: kansas is
too far west to get the Huns, Poles
and Dagoes, too far north to get the
negro, and too far east to get the
Japs and Chinese. The race problem
is one of the things Kansas reads
about in the newspapers and maya
zines, but she doesn't know much
about it from experience. Kansas
people all meet upon the level and
part upon the square.

Figures do not lie, and the official
tabs kept on the canal digging down
In Panama will serve to impress the
American people with the fact that
something is doing. Nearly 100000
cubic yards were excavated during
April, by actual count, and the mathe-
NAUTICAL genius who reckons it up
states that this is equivalent to a hole
100 feet deep, 100 feet wide and 900
feet long, and that sort of thing, con-
tinued steadily and increased as the
diggers get their pace, should make
an impression even on that formid-
able Culebra hill.

Bravery helps to make a nation
safe A nation of towards. however
prosperous, cannot be great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them

the government; who will, if need be,
sever all political, social and financial
ties for love of country-these are the
heroes to which nation resorts in

The United States geological surve-

Companion. The survey was engaged

members of the economic force of the
survey. in consequence of their en-
ployment by large mining organiza-
lions at salaries much greater than
they have been receiving from the
government. ct is only by years of
practical experience in the field" he
adds. that the geologist, however ex-

comes competent to carry on indie

men in this work is, for a time, ir-
reparable." Is there not a hint here
