LAFAYETTE STATUE SITE.
Distant From Scene of Bomb Ex
plosion in Paris.

To the Editor Of The Star:
It is good to know, from Fridays
Star. that a model of Paul Wayland
Bartlett's statue of Lafayette, the gift
of the school children of the United
States to France. has been placed or
exhibition in the National Museum in
this city, where it can be viewed and
appreciated by those who have not
had the opportunity Of seeing the
original bronze in Paris. Such an in
spring work of art, representative OF
American appreciation of the services
of great Frenchman to the strug-
Cling colonies, should become more
widely known to the people of this
country.
I write, however. to correct a slight
error in The Stars statement of the
statues location. with especial refer.
ence to the recent bomb dropping,
the Lafayette. Mr.. Bartlett's statue
stands not, as The Star suggested,
in the Place d'Iena, near which the
bomb fell that killed a man and a
child, but in the Louvre gardens, more
than mile and three quarters to the
east. Nor again, as another sentence
Of the description intimates, does 1t
loom in front of the Arc du Carrousel
Between 1t and the arch, erected by
Napoleon 1 in 1905, which occupies the
site of "carrouseP' or tournament
given in 1862 by Louis XIV, stands the
Gambetta monument, erected in 1856
while between the Gambetta and the
Lafayette Is garden with trees and
sculptures In honor of the arts.
It has always been a source of regret
to admirers of the strikingly charac-
teristie bronze of Bartlett that it has
not occupied a better position, and ]
was gratified recently to learn that the
French government is contemplating
the removal of the Gambetta to an.
other site SO as to bring the Lafayette
into greater prominence, in which case
it will indeed loom against the Arc
du Carrouser" and stand exposed to the
full view of the multitudes crossing
the Louvre gardens to the art gal.
leries, or on the way to the left bank
of the Seine.
Washingtonians have reason to be
particularly interested in the Lafay.
cite monument, inasmuch as Mr.. Bart.
lett is now a resident of this city, hav-
ing erected here a studio for the pur.
pose of executing the sculptures fol
the east pediment of the House of Rep
resentatives wing of the Capitol.
The Place d'Iena, near which the
deadly bomb fell in Paris, is occupied
by a statue of George Washington. by
Daniel French, erected in 1900 as q
gift to France from the women OF
America. 1t stands within 400 feet OF
the scene of the explosion.

Railway Tracks Dangerous.

The proximity of the tracks of the

Company to the side of the road is al
legged to be dangerous to pedestrians
and vehicles. 1t was brought out by
speakers at the meeting last night that
many parents of Tenleytown send their
children to the Cleveland Park School
in preference to sending them to their
own school for fear of the street cars.
The latter half of the meeting was
turned over to a discussion Of the adj
visibility of forming a new troop Of
Boy Scouts, the guest of the evening
being E. S. Martin, superintendent Of
Fairgrounds. who told of the modern
idea of organized and directed play.
The Boy Scout movement is not a
military one, Mr.. Martin said. He de-
clared the boys would be laughed at
by any military man. The object of
the organization is to make good citi-
zens, and to develop boys who would,
under ordinary circumstances. be lead
ers of gangs" into leaders of men.

Female children were considered mar

large number of these child brides be-
came widows before they were grown.
The religious and social laws OF In

had the choice only between suttee and
an indescrbably dshonored life of
celibacy and ascetism. But when the
English wished to do away with these
customs 1t was the women who revolted
against any change.
They evaded the law against suttee in
many instances. They practised all
