To ascertain how much boys edu-
Gated in the elementary schools OF
England remember after leaving school.
several officers in charge of recruiting
depots have put series of fifteen
questions to the newest recruits. The
replies in many cases were amazing.
particularly as the recruits generally
come from the larger cities having the
best elementary schools.
AT one depot thirty-five recruits were
examined. Fourteen, fifteen, fourteen
and eleven respectively could not give
a reply to the questions as to the iden-
tity OF Alfred the Great, Nelson, Well
ington and Shakespeare. and many of
the others had only vague ideas as to
who these heroes of their country
were.
To the question What Is the United
States?" sixteen replied correctly, four
knew something, fifteen were entirely
ignorant and one man. who had been
eight years at school, answered can

Strangely enough even fewer knew
anything Of France. When it came to
England, however, every recruit an
swered correctly. altho only fifteen
could say what the Empire was.
All the necessary legislation has been
enacted in connection with the pro-
posed construction of the trans-Austra-
liam railway and work on the project,
which is to be carried out by the fed

thru South Australia, Victoria, New

line is 1860 miles in length and it's
cost is estimated at nearly twenty mil
lion dollars. While the railway Will
be Of great commercial advantage, the
necessities Of defense have chiefly in
fiuenced Australia in making the ex-
penditure. The country, faced with the
danger of a possible Asiatic invasion,

and America should control the Pacific,

went out to advise the government on
the measures to be taken to defend the
country and one of his first recon-
mendations was the construction of
this railway to bring western Austria

confederation, at present the western
province being entirely dependent upon
assistance from sea.
The police have just succeeded in get
ting rid, for five years at least, of a
man who carried on the triple occupa--

caught while engaged in the latter cc-
