ExpATRIArEs IN Brazil. :.

Condition Of ssashera Families That
Emlcrated From This Century.
The presence Of thousands Of Con-
federate neutrality-suspicious. and
citizens OF q united nation-at the
Gettysburg anniversary exercises
calls to mind the pathetic story OF
the Confederate expartiates in Brazil,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Among the thousands of discour-
aged and disheartened families who
had to take up a new life at the
close Of the Civil War, some were
so dispirited that they felt they could
not face the new conditions. They
decided to leave it all and to begin
over again in new land.
Brazil appealed to them, because
the plantation system was similar to
the one with which they were famil-
lar. and slavery was still legal in
the land So few of the hundreds
who were to follow vent ahead as
an advance lard ana selected site
about 100 nsiiss west Of the city Of
Sac Paulo. It was not long until
several hundred men VINO had
fought under jackson and Lee and
Johnston were on their way to make
new homes under the Southern Cross.
It Is estimated that at least 500
families from Texas, Georgia, Ala
bama ard 1nessee located near
ESQ raHlo b 5 and 1879.
Some II are ORC al rnbers Of
the colony became dissatisfied ara
returned to the south, but there are
eve nat this day some four Or five
hundred of them, with their descend
ants, living in the colony. Not few
OF them have moved to ether parts
OF Brazil. some have married Brazil
ians, some have prospered and others
have just managed to get along.
These American eo!onizts are nov
Brazilian subjects, but few Of item
actually take any part in the p1t,icr
of the land, and al are Americans al
heart. They uee the Portuguese Ian
guage in their business and social
relations with the Brazilians but
speak English in their homes
When Eilhu Root visited Brazil
as Secretary Of State, he stopped off
ut the evilla Americana" as the lit
tie town where these American col
onists reside is known, and later, in
speaking of his meeting with the
grizzled veterans and their families,
said it was the most pathetic Incl
dent Of mis- trip. Some of them asked
the secretary If 1t would be wise for
them to return to this country, and
he said:
mo; stay where you are and be
good Brazilians You viii find the
states so changed that they will no
longer seem Ike home"
Such Is the pathetic story OF our
Confederate expatriates in Brazil.

LADY ASTOR'S PICTURE

LONDON, December 9.-Lady AS
tors portrait is not to hang in the
House of Commons, at least during
her lifetime. The portrait, which was
painted by Sims. occupies place on
the wall of one of the staircases, but
1T is covered with cloth, and now will
be removed because the Conservative e
Parliament. like the previous Parlia-
ter of principle that pictures or stat
ues of living persons should be ac-
cepted for the House of Parliament"
The hanging of Lady Astor's picture
in the House raised a little storm
among the members, and for some
weeks there has been vexed dispute
about it's ultimate fate. 1t was pre-
sented to Parliament by Lady Astor
originally with the approval of the
Peel, first commissioner of works, has
sent a letter to Lord Astor informing
him in most courteous terms that as
the temper of the new Parliament on
the question is the same as that of
the old Parliament, the government
authorizes him to request Lord Astor
to make arrangements for the re-
moval of the portrait.
Lord Astor, in replying, accepts the
decision, but reminds Lord Peel that
the picture was presented only after
he had ascertained that 1T would be
accepted.

PARIS, November PA celebrated
Partisan dressmaker was talking the
other day of the various foreign
women Spanish, italian, American
and English, who crowd the shops
of the French capital. Long expert
ence had given her definite ideas of
the characteristics of each group of
customers.
The tall, dark. flashing-eyed wom-
an whom the poets have called the
fierce tempered Spaniard,' becomes
merely a weak little woman when
she is shown pretty dresses" said
this observer of human nature.
when prices are quoted, even IL
they are high. she goes through the
mental process of translating the
francs into pesetas, and is imme-
diately aware that she is getting a
bargain. Like the Italian woman,
she never haggles over the cost;
under no circumstances are these
southern women willing to give the
impression that they cannot afford a
little caprice in the way of a crea-
tion worth from 1000 to 10000 francs.
Take What Is Offered.
"Furthermore these women do not
come to Paris to have dresses made
own countries, so they bow to French
taste and never make suggestions to
us: they take what we offer.
The American woman, on the con-
trary, often attempts to impose her
will upon u.s." continued the dress
maker. 1T often happens, however,
that in spite of the power of the dol
lar we do not yield to certain fam
tastic requests of our American Gus
toners which, If carried out in their
dresses, might compromise our repu-
tation as classic dressmakers and
infallible tailors The American
woman is not a perfect customer by
any means. The majority give us
only the address of the hotel in which
they are stopping. This would be a
detail of slight Importance IL the
bills were paid upon delivery, but
a great number of them leave Paris
without having settled, and we have
nothing to do but wait for a check
dated from some city of the new
world But they invariably pay.
The English women alone are per-
feet customers" concluded the dress
maker. they never bargain and they
always pay cash. They are almost all
great ladies in their own land,
either through birth or marriage. A
middle class English woman would
never think of coming to the Rue de
Ia PaiX for her dresses; she knows
she cannot afford it,

By Cable to The Star and New York World
PRAGUE, December 9.-The latest
reports on the conditions of the
schools in Soviet Russia made by Lu-
nacharsky are very discouraging
There are not enough schools. nor the
means for organizing the educational
system. The teachers are paid so bad
ly that they lead a miserable life. But
the government either has no money
or refuses to grant money for the
schools. The Isvestya reports Luna
charsky as saying:
For the present. between the de-
sire of the people for good education
and the possibility of fulfilling II
there is great gap. The govern
ment has municipalized the element
ary education, which means that the
burden has been shifted on to the
shoulders of the local governments.
But they are too poor and have not
the means for the support of the
schools: in fact, In the rural districts
the schools are regarded as a burden
of which they must rid themselves as
soon as possible. The result is that
the peasants give practically no
money for the schools. The school
children are taught in totally neglect
ed buildings, which are rarely heated,
making 1t necessary for the children
to sit in their overcoats during the
lessons. There is d great scarcity of
ordinary school necessities; for exam
pie, one lead pencil must be shared
between ten pupils. The children have
very few books. and many things
must be memorized.
Treated Like Beggars
There is an insufficient number of
teachsrs-in short. there Is a lack of
everything. Being paid like beggars,
the teachers are treated as such by
the people, with the result that there
has been a general flight from the pre-
fession. Most Of those who remain in
the teaching profession try to solve
their economic problems by joining
the Communist party. Thus the sit
uation is as bad as it can be. The
number of schools and pupils is d.
minishing day by day"
This statement is illustrated by the
following figures: Before the war
there were $4,000 elementary schools
in Russia, with 100000 pupils. With
the aid of publicity campaign
in 1921, the number was increased to
10000 schools. with 100000 pupils.
But very soon relapse took place
and in 1922 the number of schools and
pupils began to decrease. In October,
1870, tHtft were pul f9,oVV sClloolS'
with 100000 pupils, in the whole of
Soviet Russia. The secondary schools
have also suffered. And the Froebel
schools, which previously numbered
1000, have sunk to 7l5, while the
number of pupils has fallen from
213,000 to 1900.
In commenting upon these figures
Lunacharsky holds out no hope for
the future at all. 1t is indeed a pes
simistic report.
