When to cend Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in stateroom, next to a
private bath. and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between FIVE and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

the first success in the attempt to find what 1t Is
to mean shortly, for this generation and for the
grandchildren of this generation in 1000.
The makers OF the centennial week program
were keenly alive to the opportunities for spec
taeular effect suggested by the most STRIKING
events of the worlds progress. The aeronautie
events such as balloon races. aeroplane and diri-
gible balloon contests, suggest the future posi-
bilities of transportation in contrast with those

Sunny mast its cordelle and its sweeps, Is an
educational feature of the water pageant which
includes crafts of all the kinds which now ply the

St Louis Industries, the procession of thou

week for st. Louis its centennial week is still
