Buildings have been acquired, teach
ers appointed, and schools opened
which must be attended by every child
in London who has reached the age of
fourteen and is under sixteen, and is
not attending any other classes or
school. Employers have to give eight
hours week off to people Of such age
in their employ, but should reap no
little benefit from the scheme if it is
carried out as intended. So far the
boys and girls Of London have taken
to the continuation classes like young
ducks to water, and they ought to go
back fresher to their work. Many lit
tie girls in domestic service are in
Guided in the classes, and are taught
how to make their domestic duties an
art and not drudgery. It will be in
teresting to watch the results.

There Is g curious campaign going
on So ia Germany. It appears that q
Union of Friends OF Calcium has been
i formed, the extrao ordinary object Of
which is to see that the German lis
compelled to use more lime lin his
dietary. The Germans, convinced that
mineral salts, 81 which they were de-
prived during the war, can restore en-.
ergy to the though why they
should, no one exactly seems to know
have become the victims Of clever
propaganda in which 'the commercial
interestssare not by any means behind
hand, says Christian Science, Monitor.
'The country, in fact, is being flooded
with mineral waters and proprietary
salt mixtures, to supply the lacking
calcium which, according to popular
theory, is all that is necessary to place
Germany at the intellectual and COM
mercial head of the nations again! A
big run on chalk cliffs, and their list
ing on the Berlin" bourse, may be the
next logical steps in this very illogical
obsession of the ''limed" superman.

The plant of Prof. William B. Scott
of Princeton university, that the
Northern races who depend upon coal
for winter warmth must migrate to the
tropics in thousand years lest they
freeze, scarcely justifies worry. Ac-
cording to other scientists, such 4
doleful prophecy will not be pertinent
for some 5000 years. BY that time,
doubtless, the electrical age will have
arrived and winds and waves will
warm us. Presenting that our indus
tries and winter furnaces consume
5OO,OOOOO0 tons of coal annually for
5000 years, we must only then begin
to consider migrations to the tropics.
Calculations concerning our national
coal deposits almost exceed the i'm
aginations Of the modern human mind.
Government experts assure us that our
total underground supply is we'll over
3,020000,000,0QO tons, all grades.
