sponsible for Iris. 1t has double sig
nificance and can be translated either,
as the rainbow, or the flower which
the French call 'fleur de lis" and
Americans term flag"
( The former meaning is preferable,
since the Iris of Greek mythology was
the goddess of the rainbow. In
Homer's Had she appears us the love
ly, swift-footed messenger of the gods,
the feminine counterpart Of Hermes.
Her special assignment was the bear
ing Of royal commands from Zeus and
Hera to the lesser deities.
The flower iris is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for the popularity Of the
name in England and America. 1t first
achieved vogue in the former country,
which is much given to flower names.
The amethyst is the talismanic gem
assigned to Iris. 1t will protect her
from evil and disease and promises her
the gift of quick intelligence. 1t is

Must Study Latin and Greek.

French children In the next school
year will face the study of Latin and
Greek that made their fathers labor.
They may dread these dead languages,
but have no choice, as the minister
of public instruction has decreed the
restoration of the classical languages
and absolutely obligatory upon girls
and boys alike during the six years
of secondary education, which, rough
ly, is equivalent to the upper grades
in the American public schools and
the first half of the high school course.
The teachers proved to be the chill
dren's friends, for they reminded the
minister that they had voted 1S to
/ against Latin and Greek and in favor
of the retention of the modern course.
Parliament debated the change inter-
mittently for nearly two years, but
the minister, despairing of getting a
decision, issued decree in the par
llamentary recess, declaring that the
French can best know their language
and appreciate their literature with
its many classical illusions only II
they know Latin and Greek well.
