II is. TO list it's attractions properly, one
of the most beautiful cities of Europe.
"a
Modern Berlin dates only from 1870,
they say the age of every loyal Ber-
liner does. The pride of the Germans in
their new empire and their big, beautlful
city is inspiring. They also delight In
doing everything municipal in the best
possible way. There is wonderful
growth and development In Berlin, so
that description OF II soon becomes obso-
iete, and impressions are changed as soon
as they are made. | cannot name a spot
where an artist could find such inspira-
ton as In the streets of Berlin. The
stately avenues of trees. the open places,
the broad streets and magnificent vistaS
make II ideal. and one can understand
how many Americans liken 1t to Chicago
1t seems so new and SO busy and so very
clean that one could almost believe that
the city favhers dealt In the black arts
and employed invisible forces. 1t is the
embodiment of the modern German spirit.
and you look in vain for the German city
of your imagination-the gabled houses
and the narrow lanes. But the Odd ira
ditions and the old social life lie within,
jealousy guarded from the eyes OF
strangers.
There are the schools, and 1t may ne
safely stated that all the German children
go 10 day schools. There is, OF course,
abundance of boarding schools. but 1t IL
said that American children mostly at
tend. The custom which prevails in the
empire il to send children to day schools.
The German mother does not wish to get
rid of her boys and girls for months to-
gether. She does not spend anxious hours
wondering what changes she will note
when they come home. nor does she look
forward to the vacation as the season OF
joyous reunion. Her pleasure may be
phlegmatic, but it 10 continual. She has
her children the year around. until her
boys 60 to the university and her girls
until they marry There Is no more graf
flying sightsin Berlin than to watch the
troops of children going to school. They
march along sedately and without a maid
at their heels, as one sees In Paris. They
learn self-reliance and decorum early In
life. and may be safely trusted on the
streets. In long tin satchels their books
and luncheons are slowed, and they are
all CARRIED so nearly alike that Ii appears
almost a uniform. The boys invariably
wear peaked caps and the girls neat stuff
dresses and snowy aprons, with worsted
caps crowned with pompon.
Except at the kindergarten, boys and
girls are educated separately and on a
different plan. The education OF girls Is In
a transition state just at present. Impor-
