Learning Hotel Keeping.

An interesting scheme under the
patronage of the Chamber OF Com.
merce of Mentone is afoot for the
foundation Of a hotelkeeper's school
for Frenchmen 1t is pointed out that
the hotel industry on the Riviera alone
represents capital of f75.00O,O0O.
and that most of the hotels belong to
Swiss and other foreigners. There is
no real reason why Frenchmen should
not make excellent hotel-keepers. but
bookkeeping has to be learned, and
the idea is to found college at which
young Frenchmen may be trained in
everything appertaining to the hotel
from languages to cooking and n.y.
giene. In Switzerland number OF
these schools exist, and they have al.
ways been entirely successful.-Paris
