France Makes Plans
 For Free Education

PARIS, Jan. 4-France is get ting ready slowly to give free edu- cation in the high schools. The poor mans son today has little chance to get beyond the grades. There are a number of sehola"- ships but they are given only b very promising pupils and after a good deal of effort by the par ents. Often hard working par. ents think they need another wage earner more than the boy needs instruction.
 Edouard Herriot, Minister q Public Instruction. has committed ihe government, with Poincare' E approval. 10 a policy of standard. ized free. schools. The cost Is estimated at fifty-eight million francs a year but a beginning is to be made next year by abolish ing tuition in some of the second ary "colleges' which correspond roughly to American high schools but are not entirely under state control.
 The real high schools of France are the "lycees." Tuition runs about 1.100 francs year and books and supplies cost several hundred francs more. As such all expense represents a months irl- come for a workman's family, il is generally conceded that the poor boy has little chance to gel more than a common school edl- cation.
