No Olvn serviee for Teaehers.

One of the political Jobs given out by the govern
ent is that of school teaching; this is governed
by civil service rules, and set Of instructors is
usually brought in with each change OF government
The schools of each district looked upon as kind
of political perQuiste of the ministry and they
farmed out for votes
Another objection lies in the school books which
are changed every year So new books being written
There annual competitions for the writing of
school books and the publication OF such books is so
profitable that there is talk OF making the business
state monopoly, the government fixing the price of
each book.

Thirteen Hundred Greek Maidens.

ems whom at this Vassar of Athens. The girls
of this country notably handsome, and those of
the Arsakeion, coming out of the wetodo classes Of
the people, would be esteemed finelookng in part
of the world. They have fine forms, kept by the
compulsory gymnastics rosy cheeks from the pure air
of the Mediterranean and features as classic as those
of the ancient Greek statues. The girls speak Greek
which is more refined than the modern Greek heard
the streets. They read the classics at sight, and
little ones of IL and mouth HerodOtus and Homer.
Indeed the way the modern Greek girl talks strikes
every stranger as somewhat uncanny. 1t makes one
think of the remark of the American woman to the
precocty of the Partisan: "Why, in Paris, even the
smallest children talk French"

Another remarkable female school here at Athens
was founded by an American missionary just about
eighty years ago. This is the Hill School for Girls,
one of the most popular in Greece and now under
government regulations. 1t contains about 200 pupils
of whom than One-third are boarders. The ages
range from to II, and the students come from diff
ferent parts OF the country. All taught modern
Greek, French and English, and also the regular

by these girls They taught ancient Greek and
they can read fluently Homer, Plato and Xenophon.
The older girls speak, read and write French, and not
