EDUCATION
INCREASING.
, Speaking Of education. a pregnant
fact in regard to the future Of the
country is that a public school sys-
tenn has been established in Slovakia.
There are now two thousand primary
schools, eighty secondary, and three
or four normal. There is also one
university. This Is q great step for
ward when II 10 taken into consider
alton that the ilhteracy in Slovakia,
before the Czecho-Slovak Republic
came into existence, was 80 per
cent. In contrast to that Bohemia,
Moravia, and silesia had only 2 per
cent. It Is significant though that
while under Austria these provinces
besides paying taxes 10 Vienna, had
to tax themselves In part for dis
trict public services such as schools
and hospitals.
During the Hapsburg domino
ton. and until after the revolu-
ton. girls were excluded from the
study Of law, technical sciences,
arts, and agriculture. High schools
were for a long time closed to
them. In spite Of strong protests
from women the Government estab-
lished special schools of a lower
degree for giris-called lyceums.
In this period Czech women, by
instructing their own daughters.
made It possible for them to pre-
pare for the university.

With all this why should not
Czecho-Slovakia be the most cheer
full and prosperous element Of Cen.
trail Europe today? There are good
reasons for her being so.
Alone of the Central European
nations. old and new. she seems
sufficiently contented with what she
has acquired to be able to put her
whole energy into the consolidation
Of her gains. All her national en-
thusiasm, suppressed for so many
years under Hapsburg rule, is now
active in laying the foundations Of
an enlightened and progressive
state. Her hopes are well-founded
she has reason to be cheerful. In
the character Of the bulk Of her peo-
pie, in her central position as to
trade. in the actual and potential
wealth Of her territory she Is for
tunate. In a world that has more
than 1t can we'll digest Of dissatis-
faction and covetousness, Czecho-
Slovakia Is today a pleasant exam
pie Of comparative contentment.
Since 1526-for almost four hun
dred years-she had. until the Revo-
luton in 1918, been ruled by an
alien dynasty. During all those
centuries. from generation to gen
GRAFTON, her hardy people waged

their rights as men and for their
existence as q nation. Under the
drastic suppression to which she
was subjected, her nationalism. in
stead of being destroyed. became
a force that required all the
strength and unscrupulousness Of
reactionary Austria to combat. And
when that obstacle to the liberty
and progress of mankind fell with
a crash in 1918 the spirit Of the
Czech people came, at last, into its
present freedom of national express
sion.
1t is no new thing, therefore.
that animates the progress Of this
young republic. 1t is an ancient
principle, for which men have lived
and died through centuries of mis-
rule, and which has at last come
into it's own.
This fact makes for the future
stability of Czecho-Slovakia. The
basis Of it's existence is no expert
ment in nationalism, but a spirit
as old as the land itself. The pres
ent enthusiasm for national accom-
plishment is no clean sweeping OF
a new broom, but the sudden loosen
ing of a long.suppressed energy.
But Czecho- Slovakia has begun
her life as a national entity N
troubled times. and her frontiers
are ranged against many and shift
ing antagonisms. The very wealth
and prosperity within her borders
rouses the covetousness of the ma
tons around her, and her course for
the next few decades Is by no means
definitely all clear sailing.
