London Agitates Return of Temple
Bar to City.
An agitation is being made to re-
store old Temple Bar to London-not
to where it formerly stood for more
than couple of centuries. at the
junction of the Strand and Fleet
street, but to erect it in some place
such as the public gardens on the
Thames embankment
Temple Bar was one of the most
historic Of the city gates. 1t had on
1t statues of James 4. Elizabeth and
the two Charleses. and III the stirring
days of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries many human head dec.
grated it's upper spikes. Its existence
is still recognized, for whenever the
British monarch wishes to enter the
city he has to pun up where the old
gate stood and ask permission of the
lord mayor.
In 1877 It had become so serious an
obstruction to the traffic it was re-
moved. The city sold It for triiing
sum to Sir Henry Meny, who re-erect-
ed 1t at the lodge of his country home,
Theobald's Park, Essex, royal hunt
ing place in the days of the Stutl1s.
It was built by Sir Christopher
Wren. the architect of st. Paufs ca
thedral, in 1910. Now that, with the
death of Lady Meux, who survived her
husband, the estate is to be sold, the
city is being strongly urged to buy
the old bar back

It's edict of educational reform, issued
Ave years ago. The Hongkong plan
appears to be in anticipation of the
general scheme for colleges and uni
versities.
Under the governmental plan each
province is to have its university,
which starts with the elementary
schools in each village, the higher or
grammar grade schools, the high
schools, In ascending scale, all con-
trolled by provincial boards of eduea-
ton, which act more or less directly
| through subordinate boards in each
taotais and submagistrate's district.
Few government establishments have
vet reached full college grade, largely
because of lack of money, but In many
cases because of lack of students who
have progressed in western learning
far enough to begin proper college
work
Late statistics report the total num-
Der of educational institutions in Chi
ma at 80, 1873, of which primary schools
number s4.210, high schools, colleges,
girls seminaries and industrial schools
making up the balance. They report
Ga, 937 persons engaged In educational
work. 55,240 being at work in ele-
mentary grades. In these several in
Istitutions there are S74,e42 students,
Iof whom 7s0,325 are of elementary
grade. Taking 4o6, 10000 as the pop
ulation of China, this gives one stu
dent for each 464 inhabitants.

HALL or FAME FOR FARMERS
Maine TO Honor Some Son Of Soil Each
Year.


Year.
A hall of fame for Maine farmers
was suggested recently during a meet
ing of the various agricultural organ
izations at the statehouse at Augusta
by President Robert ]. Alley of the Uni
versity Of Maine and met with instant
favor.
1t was proposed that once year a
bust, bas-relief or tablet be placed In
the wide hall OF the agricultural build
Ing at the university, with suitable ex-
ercises
President Alley thought this action
would instill LII the minds of youth q
greater liking for agriculture. He IN
derstood there had been already a
number OF prominent men In the state
who had made their mark along agri-
cultural lines, and he felt that these
men after they had passed away
should be honored in the hall Of fame.
DR.. George M. Twitchell of ADJOURN
suggested as one of the first men to be
thus honored Ezekiel Holmes OF Win
throp. He also suggested that q me
mortal be placed for n A. Gilbert of
Greene, who has done more to shape
agricultural legislation than any other
man in Maine.
