Brussels, July IS - We left Paris in one of those slashing cat-and-dog rains staged only in France and Ia hiti. Despite the earliness of the hour, all the boy and girl employees of the hotel were lined up in the hall. And they can take the look gave them and carve something pretty out of it in nice cold marble.
 At s a. m. we made our exit through the Porte de la Villette in the direction of the Belgian frontier. The driver-owner of my hired motor car is a lean young Russian named Raymond. During an interlude of fast driving he turned in his seat to inquire; Do you happen to be o. O.. Mcintyre, the uriter?"
 l fairly beamed a grateful affirma- tive, and if Will Hogg, who is in his own unrented car ahead. did not put him up to it-and 1 almost know he did-Raymond and I are going to be real buddies. Rural France is all ways delightful. Poppy fields were a bright wet wash red and cyclists were flasing by holding opened um- brellas.
 Every farmer in France has a bi- cycle instead of Ford. Here and there the pond-li Aisne touched our path and coiled ribbon-like away again. Drenched blue-bloused peas ants begged through the fields in sabots. A sudden curve at Ambley revealed four acres bristling with white crosses, a huge flag honoring heroic soldier dead.
 The first step was at Soissons for bite at the Hotel de Ia CroiX dor, pate de fols gras, for which the sec ton is named. Soissons is as famous for it's beans in Europe as Boston in America. And of course it filled many thick S-column headlines dur ing the war.
 Soissons still shows the scars of its generous smelling, and almost every other man on the quiet streets is minus a leg, an arm or an eye. One of its finest cathedrals is still being patched. My French re- ceived its customary shabby treat ment at lunch. Ordering "Soissons Beurre," they brought me a biCar- bonate of soda.
 What is more I doHned it, all though l hate the stuff. but a lot of villagers were taking in my funny American get-up, and l wanted to appear every inch the travelled word ling. It was my first lunch in many way with hatful of pickled shrimps, whiskers, beady eyes and all.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

# you're really smart and
you want to get the breaks in
this country you'll arrange to
be born a Belgian hare, or an
onion or a cherry tree or even
a chunk Of coal-but never,
never, a common American kid.
For over articles of agriculture,
over conditions of labor and
commerce the Federal Govern
ment extends benevolent pro-
lection. But the youngsters,
God help 'em, it leaves to the
mercy of the individual States.
And the mercy of the indi-
vidual States is a mighty
chancey matter. Some State
governments value education.
Their schools are their pride.
Others, in the grip of ignorant
officials and greedy exploiters
of child labor, ignore or ac-
tually fight efforts to advance
education.
AS a consequence we have
areas in America-areas which
embrace many States-of
shameful illiteracy. Once the
world referred with contempt
to darkest Africa" Now, be-
hind our complacent back,
other nations refer to darkesU
America, for our illiteracy has
become a byword and scandal.
We have thousands, unnum-
bered thousands, of white chill
dren who can neither read,
write nor "figger" because there
is no law to compel them to
go to School-and no school to
go to. We exclaim with horror
: at the boards of waif children
in Russia, but we have armies
OF children in our own coun-
try who wander from one work
camp to another, hardly seeing
a book during the space of
their childhood. And from this
fostering ignorance springs
crime and degeneracy, shiftless.
ness and despair.
This condition doesn't "iust
happen" There is an obvious
cause for it-an equally obvious
cure. It exists because we have
no centralized control over our
children or their education.
NO department of education
with a. secretary of education
in the Presidents Cabinet, we
have various, vague committees
and bureaus which tumble
around with feeble educational
suggestions to the States, but
we have no consolidated de-
partment back Of our schools
