Miss Sanders holds a scholarship
in a French lycee, or boarding school
for girls. AS the American council
IN education, through which the
scholarship was obtained, wished to
make il possible for Miss Sanders to
continue her musical studies in
France. they ventured to recommend
N the French authorities that she
he assigned to Lycee Victor Deveny
in Paris. named for the man who or
iginated public education for girls in
France. A wire received Saturday
announced that this recommended
tion had been complied with and that
she was officially assigned to this
particular school. 1t is located on
the Boulevard des Invalides on the
south side of the Seine in a district
of great historic interest, being stu
ated in the stronghold of the old
French arstocracy. The celebrated
Hotel des Invalides and Napoleon's
tomb are very near.
The rules in the lycee are very
strict and the luxury which is en-
ioyed in American universities is un-
heard of in France. The French
girls sleep in dormitories, but sep
arate rooms are provided for the
American girls. Few French houses
are heated and all hot water is heat
ed on the tops of stoves. The girls
are not allowed to go out unchap-
eroned and may leave the school
only on Thursday afternoons and
Sundays. The class rooms and resi-
dence quarters are all in one build
ing, usually with a court in the mid
die. The girls attending lycees
range from IL years of age to 1S.
The course of study is very general
considerably more academic in char
acter than the courses in our high
schools. The French lycees, though
private, are government owned and
non-sectarian. The school term does
not end until July Is, with two
weeks vacation for both Christmas
and Easter.
Every possible care is given the
American boursieres. They are met
in New York and a place is provided
where they may stay until the time
OF sailing. They will go in a party
on the boat with chaperones, The
French reception committee will
meet them at lie Havre, the port,
and escort them to their various des-
unations These scholarships were
given to the American college girls
IN return for the vast number of
american scholarships given to the
french girls during the war. No eX-
enanations are given in choosing the
oourseres, the choice being based
sshtlrely upon the academic record of
Vne applicant, her knowledge of
french and her college activities.
ABOUT 20 scholarships have been con-
leffed upon American girls this
year The French government pays
ior one-third of their water passage
ano all board, room and tuition in
tue school. Miss Sanders will be &C
