How ready is Lena for either if il

Lena is ignorant of history, mu-
sic. art. the events of the great to-
day i'm this world of ours. She reads
the murder cases and scandals in
the newspaper. the society column
gets her breathless attention and the
comics claim a bit of her time. She

Why should a fairy prince inter

Now here is my first suggestion
10 all those who write me impas-

own chance. Go 10 the
nearest public library station and ask
kindly librarian to direct your
reading so you will know a bit of
the history of all the great cOun-
tries of our earth. After you have
studied history, study next the great
men who made history. The liter

Residents of Tutuilla street are
seeking to get the removal of the

speed up to make the hill on the new

son. Were scholastic as well as the creating of a better understanding and relation between the French and the Americans The difference between the French and the American university was very marked for in America we judge our universities by the size of the build lngs and the equipment; the professors only too often being the manpulators of the buildings and equipment; while in France, the building is looked upon merely as a place in which to teach, the laboratory and other equipment being far more limited than ours. There great stress is laid upon the professor and our American boys came back with a higher appreciation undoubtedly of this phase or college life than they had ever had before.
 - At Toulouse university F groups were included In the course given by the French faculty" said Dr. Dawson,
 taught by the French professors in the French language. These groups included letters, law, engineering, theology, med- cine, painting and architecture, agricul- ture, sciences, pharmacy and commerce
 Tn the group of painting and architec- ture 65 men were enrolled,'' said Dr. Dawson, and no more beautiful oppor- tunity could have been afforded any "nSIe ior lleSe ptdHcneS, TOT the scenes or wonderful architecture and general environpent in that section of the coun. try surpassed anything they had ever seen in this line.
 There were 19 Alabama boys at Tou- lcuse university when l was there" said pr. Dawson. "and throughout the 15 uni versailles in France there must have been very nearly 150 Alabama men, represent ing Howard Auburn, the University of Alabama and other institutions. During my stay at Toulouse the 19 Alabama men and myself met and formed plans to organize French university club when we returned home and it is our idea now to do this after the Sewanee- Alabama football game in the autumn This will perpetuate our work over there and bring together the men, who not only fought togethep but studied together in the French universities

into the most cultured and erudite cir cles of Parisian life.
 Four previous trps-as a student and tourist, pr. Dawson had made to Eu-
 rope-yet he frankly declares that none could ever equal the last trip made under such unusual circumstances, when
 he visited that enchanting section of France-the far south-quite as different from northern France as black is from white, where romance and mediaeval hlstory-the renaissance of art and music and lterature-abound, pleasing his re-
 ceptive mind and affording him unal-
 lowed happiness"
 Directly through the city of Toulouse
 flows the Gargonne river" said pr. Daw-
 son in describing the place to me, and
 there is no more beautiful river or city
 in France. Toulouse is called Ia Vile Rose because of the wonderful pink col- oring of the bricks of which all the buildings are constructed, combined with snow-white stone. On one street may be seen an old fashioned Spanish struc- ture of the days gone by-on another facade of an old renaissance building On clear day. one may stand in the center of the city and see the snow capped Pyronees.
 One of the great pleasures I enjoyed was being present at The Academy of the Floral Games on May 1, and this the anniversary dates which are always celebrated at the academy which is the oldest extant literary body in France. The anniversary celebration of 191s
 marked the one hundredth annversa ry when Victor Hugo was awarded the | much coveted poets prize by the acad- emy. This occasion was also memorable to me as the time, when. with three oth- CTS. I was signally honored by being presented informally with a medal of the mainteneurs. In June I attended another celebra ton of The Academy of the Flor
 al Games,' when General Castelnau was
 received as one of the 40 mainteneurs When I reached Toulouse" Dr. Daw-
 son said, 'I became a member of the
 army educational corps. and was as
 signed to the deanship of the 1200 Ameri-
 can students at Toulouse university
 There were 15 French universities to
 which the Americans were assigned the
 University of the Soerboennne having the largest number and Toulouse university second in point of numbers. Never again
 could such a body of students be found
 anywhere, for physically and mentally
 they were the pick of America's young
 manhood, men of noted regulations in
 their chosen vacations back in America
 were included among the, number.
 '"The purpose of the government in sending the American soldiers to the
 French universities was two-fold," said
 pr. Dawson. First, the government de-
 sired to give our young men intelligent advantages during the demobilzation of
 the army; also the opportunity of fur thering their education, so they were
 selected in groups and sent to the uni versailles on the basis of their degrees and experiences in American universi- ties. Secondly, the purpose of the gov ernment was to let the French see groups representative of American manhood and also to let the young men see the broad,
 cultured side of French life"
 My own duties there," said Dr. Daw-
