A society woman wrote to Moore

consults when he wants to know the
forecast. and then he wrote TO his
correspondent as follows:
Dear Madam: l deeply regret that

terrain her.
The very costume of Mona Lisa in the
picture is heavy mourning. How is IL
that none of the transcendent experts
observed IT? She has no rings, no jewel
ry. She is in severe black. Her cos
tune is even the heaviest mourning?
Reinach proves. by letters OF Isabelle

of Irish lace over a "somber-tinted' cor
sage might have been worn in full
mourning for a sister.

The bright-colored Mona Lisa of Mad

he have made such an error-given all
the circumstances so impressed upon
him?
And why should Leonardo ever have du-

In the higher schools the expenses of
students are very low. In the university
the tuition for the four-year-course is
only 1928. with an examination fee Of
$50 for the legal and medical branches.

side his living expenses. go through col
lege for a total OF about $50. am told
that the education in the higher schools
is excellent, and that it compares IA
vorably with that of our own academies
and colleges.
As to the education: Of the girls, it IS
not SO general as that for boys. Only
about one-sixth Of the primary schools
are girls schools, and the number who
frequent them is under 10000. The girls
do not. as rule. go to school with the
boys, and each sex has it's own school,
house. There are some advanced schools
for females. The best is the Arsakeion,
the head of which is here at Athens, with
branches at Patras, Larissa and Corfu.

YounG GREEKS AT SCHOOL

The Arsakeion is the Smith, Vassar.

altogether about 1900 students, Of whom
1900 are in the branch here at Athens.
This number includes, however, the kin

those of the college proper.
During my stay I have gone through
this institution. 1t is a training college
for teachers as well, and it has a three
year normal course. One of the compul-
sorry studies is music, as are also sewing
and homework. The courses are so va
ried that a girl may go in at six years
and graduate at something like twenty,
having complete education according to
the Greek standard / am surprised at
the knowledge of the classics shown by
these girls. They are taught ancient
Greek, and they can read f1uently Homer,
Plato and Xenophon. The older girls
speak, read and write French. and not
few English.

are low. Day scholars pay from 81 to

to the precocity 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 con-
tains about 200 pupils. of whom more than
one-third are boarders. The ages range
from six to seventeen, and the students
come from different parts of the country.
All are taught modern Greek. French and
English, and also the regular studies Of
our schools at home. The school does
not proselytize nor interfere with the re-
lig1on OF the pupils. 1t has q Greek
Church connected with it. where a prac-
teal sermon is preached every Sunday.
1t will surprise many to know that some
of our leading colleges have had an archie
illogical school here for the past thirty
dents to the school to spend year in
study and research concerning ancient
Greece and Greek history. They make
excavations, and have certain territories
allotted to them, where they dig over the
ruins. finding statues. buildings and other
height Of its glory.
The colleges which support this school
are Harvard, Yale. Brown, Amherst,
Johns Hopkins, Columbia, the College of
New Jersey. the College of the City OF
New York and Wesleyan, to which have
been added Dartmouth. Cornell and also
the universities of Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia and California.
This country has always been friendly
to us, and Americans have been studying
Greek here since our beginning as q
nation. When Thomas Jefferson was
President Nicholas Biddle visited Greece,
and there was an American named Howe
who was surgeon general of the Grecian
feet in the Greek war for independence.
Henry NJ Baird published a book on
Modern Greece as far back as 1852. and

can, wrote a volume entitled Greece,

taking along 100 francs, or $40, which
he had saved in this way.
l was surprised at the teaching and
the high class of some of the studies. The
ordinary branches are the same as those
of our graded schools. but in addition
they read the classics and many Of them
can quote Homer and Demosthenes.
There is a map of Greece in every school
room. and the children are instructed in
Greek history and they follow the news
papers more closely than our boys at
home.
The Greeks are now spending a great
deal on modern education. According to
law all boys between the ages OF five
and twelve must attend school, and there
are now primary schools, secondary
schools and colleges almost everywhere.
There are altogether five or six thousand
teachers. and the school children are
numbered by the hundreds of thousands.
There are private gymnasiums and COM
mercial schools, normal schools and agr1-
cultural schools. There are trade schools
at Athens and Patras run by the govern
ment. and there is university here
which has more than 900 students.

One of the political jobs given out by
the government is that Of school teach
ing. This is not governed by civil service
rules. and a new set Of instructors is
usually brought in with each change of
government, The schools of each district
are looked upon as a kind of a political
perquisite of the ministry and they are
farnned out for votes,
Another objection lies in the school
books. which are changed every year or
so, new books being written. There are
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.
The salaries of the school teachers here
are exceedingly low, while the require
ments as to their education are high. The
director of primary school now receives
about $50 a month, and If the director is
a woman this sum is cut down to $24.
Women are not popular as school teach
ers. and the girl teacher loses social
caste. as some of the Greeks look down
upon ladies who must work for their
bread. AS the schools rise the wages of
teachers Increase Some receive $40 and
$50 month and the directors of the
gymnasiums get from $40 to SO month.

asked the grand chamberlain some
questions as to the possibility OF the
modern Greek in the ring and on the
track.
He replied:
II think We have a fair chance at the
marathon and that we can hold our own
in all sorts Of wrestling. We are not the
equals of the Greeks of the past and We
haves not their harmonious physical de-
velopment nor their staying powers. On
short runs we are distanced by the sth-
letes OF some other nations. You must
remember that We are not old as an tnAo-
pendent government, and that for four
hundred years or more we were under the
rule Of the Turks. who frowned on all
physical exercises and prohibited gym
nastic training. Today we make as
much OF athletics as any other nation
and We are especially rigid as to the
athletic training Of our schools. In the
Greek colleges every student at the end

Madrid?


All the world is excited over this
question since the Spanish recently rails
ed it.
In the Prado Museum of Madrid there
is a portrait from the collection of the
House of Austria which has hitherto
been modestly catalogued as a copy of
Leonardo's portrait Now suddenly high
err criticism tries to promote 1t to be the
original and living Mona Lisa; and the
Louvre painting p copy.
One thing is certain. 1t is the Louvre
picture which has fascinated the world
for centuries: There is mystery and a
fascination about the portrait. indie
pendent of the extraordinary things
which the worlds geniuses have discover
ed in it, And the solution of this mys-
terry is also proof positive that the Louvre
Mona Lisa Is the real and original one.
Up to a recent brilliant discovery OF NJ.
Salamon Reinach all that the world
knew of Mona Lisa Gherardini, third
wife of Francesca del Giocondo of Flor
ence, was that Leonardo da Vinci painted
her between 1901 and 1904, and that
leonardo was her husbands friend.
Friendship did not prevent. the painter
from selling 1t almost Immediately to the

been saved writing on his list the names

Remember all these things, and ask
yourself IL the great critics were not
