that the German student enjoys

In this country university life is a
continuance on a wider basis of public
school life, but such is not the case
IN Germany. Here the pupil In the
gymnasium is subjected TO strict

remains a schoolboy in every sense or

trained so that IL may benefit from
the fuller instruction of the university.

life suddenly opens up for him. The
