to regain its former position in the

for German science IL considered an
excellent investment by Germany's in

more toward the upkeep OF scientific

more than the Government il able

The close cooperation between science

That Germany's youth feels that the
future Of tho Fatherland depends upon
economic development and no longer
upon the army and navy IL illustrated
By the number of students attending the
Polytechnic school or Char.ottenburg
This number is about 5000. against 5000
In 1914. Many who would have become
lawyers. clerks or oficera before the war

TO renewing or replacing old instruments
We are facing great difficulties through
lack OF funds and the often prohibitivc
prices or scientific instruments. The
telescope in our conservatory cost $4,000
marks In 1910. Its present price would
be about 1000. 900 marks.

that by permar ent cooperation between

training IN engineering before he is al
lowed to specialize in ono branch OF an
other.
His FIRST two years az the Polytechnic
School are now devoted 70 general and
basic studies and the last two 70 special
training. In this way the initiative of
our engineers and chemists IS developed
because their training Is based on a
much broader view OF the field 81 their
industrial activity. This chiefly accounts
for the numerous inventions and inno-
vaiions for which the German chemical
and technical industry is famous"

special branches OF the Polytechnic

students. Therefore and for reasons OF

Of horse breeding in Ireland and. need

hunters do not develop into such

many of them remain hunters all their

At the present moment Irish horse
breeding IL going through a period or

America is offering wide prospect
FOR them. and men who heretofore

years. At Doncaster last year year

breeds bred in Ireland, of course,
brought more. But the purely Irish
strains are in no way being sacrificed
