PRUSSIA TO GRANT WOMEN EDUCATION EQUAL TO men.
Forced by Modern Conditions to Prepare Them For Earning a Living
Co Education in Universities : e aborate Courses of Study to
Begin at Six Years and Lead Up to Naturalization.

Berlin.-German homes and Ger
man newspapers have been far more
occupied during the end of the week
with the Prussian Governments de-
cree granting higher education to
women than by discussions on Ger
man and British naval ornaments or
the meeting of the two s~overeigns.
The granting of educational opportu-
mites for girls and women equal to
those of~men is regarded as marking
a deep change in German life, where,
more than in the Western States,
women have been considered as the
keepers of the home and the workers
in minor industries.
The Introductory paragraphs of the
decree of the Ministry of Education,
which has been approved by the En-
peror, recite the reasons for the
change in the system. Modern life,
says the decree, develops an i~ncreas-
ing disinclination on the part of men
of the upper classes to marry, and
nor girls in the upper and middle
classes are prevented from becoming
wives and mothers. 1t is desirable,
therefore, that the surplus of young
women should have a chance of pre-
pairing themselves for professional
callings, and that they should be
trained in the higher mental func-
tions.
According to the scheme, girls are
to be educated in all studies embraced
in a specially arranged curriculum,
beginning at a minimum age of six
years. At the end of the seventh
school year the pupils will begin to
differentiate in their studies, those
preparing for advanced instruction

Plain of

Since Lord Byron was offered the
plain of Marathon for e900-an ex-
~travagant price except to an anti
quary-it has done nothing to re-
deem it's character for dreariness and
d%esolation. According to a recent
traveller, even the children and the
beggars with coins and pieces of pot
terry are absent. 1--WE asked the
herdsman," he says, "for remnants
of arms or pieces of money; he had
seen such things picked up, but knew
nothing of their value" Probably he
knew less of the decisive" battle,
the scene of which was a year or two
ago definitely located by a group of
Prussian officers. One remembers
with an uneasy feeling that there
were only 1872 heroes disposed of at
this great battle; but the Athenians
had the literary gift, and knew how
to take care of the reputation of their
race 1t is curious to reflect that
twenty years have barely elapsed
since Greece took the trouble to ex-
plore Soros-the mound beneath
which lie the bones of the slain-and
thus place beyond the reach of doubt
the fact that the victors of Marathon
found sepulture on the plain where
they vanquished the Persian hordes.

has only to land at Calais to smell
garlic. London's smell-when the
Londoner returns-is just SCOT and

chocolate and wood smoke. Florence
is violets and sewage. But so soon
as you get to Russia the smell is quite
different. Moscow the city of fruit

Deer Isle, Me.-Six women and a
man, all summer resorters here, lost

Three men succeeded in climbing into
the dinghy that was being towed by
the sloop, but they were almost over

against the growing seas when picked
up by a fishing tug.
The disaster was witnessed on the
shore by about 1000 persons from
hotels and cottages. A dozen sloops
put out to the rescue, but the wreck
had floated a quarter mile to leeward
before they reached it. By that time
the fishing tug had the rescued men
aahote and two bodies had been re-
covered.
The dead are: Mrs. Lucy S. Craw-

H|sGEN GETS NOTIFICATION
Informed of His Selection to
Head independence Party.
John Temple Graves, Candidate For
Vice-Presidcnt, Too Ill to Be
Notified, as Was Intended.

New York City.-Thomas l.. His
gen, of Massachusetts. was formally
notified in this city that he was the
choice of the first national convention
of the independence party for the
Presidential nomination.
The enthusiasm that punctuated
the official ceremony was too vast to
be held within the walls of the Ma
tional independence Club, No. II
yGramercy Park, and it overiowed
through every outlet into the street.
There several thousands of hide
pendence party men who had been
unable to get into the clubhouse took
up the cheering for Hisgen and
Graves, and one after another for the
many national reforms demanded in
the party's Chicago platform.
AS a demonstration it was unique
to all New York. 1t sounded a warn
ing to the leaders of both the old par
ties that a new party had. been born
into the land and a new power in pol
itics was to be reckoned with.
Mr.. Hisgen was informed of his
nomination by Thomas A. Powell, of
Brooklyn, chairman of the committee
on notification.
Although Mr.. Hisgen has been ac-
lively campaigning in Vermont and
other parts of New England for the
past two weeks, 1t was his first ap-
pearance in New York since his nom
nation. The crowd which packed
the clubhouse to the last inch of
standing room took to him like an old
friend. He earned their real and last
ing friendship before he was half
through with the speech of accept
ance, in which he stood upon every
plank of the new party's platform.
William Randolph Hearst, the ma
tiohal chairman of the party, respond
ed to repeated calls from the crowd
with a stirring speech.
John Temple Graves, the %Independ-
ent nominee for Vice-President, was
to have been notified jointly with Mr..
Hisgen. On the advice of his physi-
clan he remained in the mountains of
Virginia, where he has been recover
ing from a recent operation. How
ever, he sent a telegram of felicita-
ton to his running mate and a mes
sage to the rank and file of the party
that before the end of the week he
would be in harness and ready for a
whirlwind campaign. His formal no.
LITIGATION will come later n the month.

having special courses laid out for
them, such as Latin. After two
years they will again be arranged in
divisions, classical or modern higher
study respectively. Then after four
years work they will, under normal
conditions, be admitted to examina-
lions for naturalization to the univer-
stiles.
Up to this time their education will
have been carried on in separate
schools, but in the university co-edu-
cation will begin under conditions
similar to those governing men stu
dents. Those who at the end of the
seventh school year do not elect to
specialize for a university course may
continue the ordinary courses until
they reach the age of sixteen, after
which they may leave school or take
two years in modern languages, mu-
sic Or domestic accomplishments, or
they may take four years special
training as teachers.
This scheme has been under dis
cussion and preparation for a year.
There has been an agitation for equal
privileges for the sexes since the early
eighties, and most of the other Ger
man States have already granted
them.
Frau Helene Lange, the noted edu-
cationalist, has been a leading advo-
cate of this intellectual emancipa-
ton. Professor Adolf Harnack, of
the University of Berlin; said that
women now have equal rights with
men to enter all the technical schools,
with the exception of the art acade-
mics, and that this prohibition is like
ly soon to be removed.

of quaint personality and habits.
Christian science and kindred mysti-

makeup, and profuse facial hirsute
adornment, of a reddish hue, reveal
ing a supreme contempt for the ton
sorialist's care, did not detract from
the general uncanniness of his an
pearance. He was taciturn to the
point of being insulting. One of his
peculiarities were his early morning
walks. He would leave his quarters
in the Palomar district, chiefly popu-
lated by natives, as early as 2 o'clock

OF the city, in an aimless fashion, not
retiring to his dingy abode until long
