Education in Scotland.

London Nov. 23.-An organization Of
all shades of political opinion has been
formed in Scotland for the promotion
Of higher education in the rural dis
tricts. In building up technical schools
and universities in the towns and cities
there has been tendency to neglect
higher education in the sparsely settled
rural districts, with the result that
many capable students have no oppor-
tunity of completing their studies. The
new organization is gathering evidence
of this, condition which will be placed
before parliament.

Rome. Nov. 2s.-1taly's ministry OF
public instruction IL being threatened
at the present time with thorough
housekeeping as the result Of q series
OF petty but rather astounding scan
dals. Although these have been more
or less common for some time past,
1t was only recently that two Of them
were of such a curious nature that the
public became sufficiently interested to
demand a general investigation.
The first OF these two came about
when practically every high school stu
dent in the province OF Naples passed
a perfect examination in Latin. An
investigation showed that after the
minister Of public instruction had Sc
lected for the test piece OF Italian
literature to be translated into Latin,
a copy Of 1t leaked out Of his office
into the hands Of clever individual.
The latter secured the services OF a
priest TO make a perfect translation in
Latin and copies were sold to the stu
dents at q high enough price and In
sufficient abundance to permit the per-
petrator to pay the fines imposed for
the stunt and to retire in prosperity
on the balance.
The minister OF public instruction had
hardly cleared himself OF this scandal,
however, when one of an even more
curious nature cropped out. There be-
ing vacancy in the professorship OF
sculpture at the Royal Artistic and
Industrial university, the minister OF
public instruction decided to fill the
place by a competition amongst the
sculptors who might desire 1t.
One OF the latter was Raffaele Can
cellieri, one Of the best known sculp-
tors in Rome. In compliance with
the conditions Of the competition he

Berlin, Nov. 23.-There is London

now there is going to be a Berlin sea-

it lacked to bring 1t up to Paris and
London. The kaisers capital is sat

and more modern than any other Eu-

Why, then. do the streams of. foreign

The task undertaken is not an easy
one. Neither Paris nor London have
rivals in any other city in their own
country. Everybody in Great Britain
goes to London. Everybody in France
goes to Paris. There is constant
stream of foreign visitors to both
cities.
Berlin, on the other hand. has its
greatest rivals in Germany It is not
the only capital nor the most interest

case with London and Paris Dresden

of kingdoms with their own courts
but world famous for art and music. :
It has been decided that a "sea-

draw not only goodly share of the
stream Of foreign money spent In
Paris and London, but also tend to
center in Berlin the large number Of
visitors from Germany's 2s states who

PAR|S|ANS ASK
AN AMERICAN TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
Traffic Regulation, Which
Has Worried the French
Capital for so Long, Is
Still Troublesome.
BY William Philip simms

(PariS Correspondent or the United

Paris, Nov 23.-Despairing of ever
lettering traffic conditions in the
streets Of the capital, officials here have
turned to an American, the wealthy
New Yorker, William p. Emo, to solve
the problem for them.
But old timers are skeptical. They
say even the man who did so much to
regulate the circulation of vehicles in
New York can have little success here
because of the character of the taxi
chauffeurs and the cab drivers, the
chief offenders against the rules of
the road The police admit that for
hard headedness and wilful law
breaking propensities, the Paris public
vehicle conductor can't be eQualed any
where else in the world.
However, a magazine printed here,
"Je Sails Tout" has asked Emo to tell
how he thinks the puzzle might be
solved. and it is understood that he
has agreed to give the public the bene-
fit of his years Of study on the subject.
in New York, London and Paris He
has already rearranged the movement
Of vehicular traffic in several of the
more congested streets and squares.
There has been a notable relief. But
there is still much to be done. the
police say.
THE fault is not with the police. They
are as strict here as in London. the
ideal city for traffic regulation. The
trouble comes from the dare devil taxi
drivers and the lickety split, stop-for-
nothing cab drivers, who openly defy

duce market, been SO stirred up as 1t
was over the recent visit of the Epis-
copal bishop of Pittsburg. Not that
the statesmen, porters and other num-
BILE workers there were especially Curl
Gus about the good bishop personally
For bishops are quite common In Lon
don, and being located close to the big
Strand hotels, the presence in the mar
ket of trans Atlantic tourists of all
sorts is no particular novelty.
But they suspected the bishop Of an
Interior motive. The word had got
ten around that he was about to de-
prive them Of one of their most cher
ished possessions. The fact that he
spent a good part Of his time at st.
Paurs church, up at the top of Bur-
leigh street, tended to confirm the ru-
NOR that his purpose was to entice
away to America their popular pas
tor, the Rev. Everard Digby, known
throughout England and wherever
sporting men gather, as the Fighting
parson."
The bishop, when he heard of the
agitation caused by his visit, laugh
ingly dispelled their fears, and Digby
told them that he had no intention of
deserving his loyal flock,
Very Unconventional.
1t is only six years since the flight
ing parson' was given his first cur
acy, but during that time he has easily
established himself as the most uncon-
Nentional clergyman in England. Grad
uating from oxford he was journal
list, sailor and actor before getting re-
ligion' in 1905. AS an actor he toured
the United States with Mrs. Langtry
playing leading parts When he took
his first charge in the ministry at
Coventry. he grievously shocked the
staid old parishioners by promptly
turning the mission house into rec
reation room end gymnasium, substi-
tuting a billiard table for the bap-
tismal fount because the latter was
not big enough to be used for a SWIM
ming bath, and personally superin-
tended the formation of athletic clubs
among the young men and boys Of the
neighborhood
At st. Paul's Covent Garden, he is
somewhat handicapped by lack Of room
for those special activities. as the lit
tie church and vicarage are crowded
in between big business buildings, but
