We began, as| SPANGLER BA’ was but logical, With those occupying the smallest places; benches, | UNSINGABLE in fact, the seats of which are not over cight inches from the floor. The citizens and citizenesses stood up, one and all, as we entered, to their full height of between two and three feet, the citizens holding their right hands stiffly to their right brows, for we had a genuine major with us, and the citizenesses standing with their small hands primly at their sides, their small fingers surreptitious- ly twisting at their smocks. Perfectly satisfactory.

When the war broke out so sudden- ly, and with a fury unprecedented in history, everything was disrupted in che ‘tremendous task of mobilization. It became necessary, particularly in the cities near the front, for the mili- ary authorities to take over all use- able public buildings, including the schools, for barracks. ‘Instantly the school authorities saw the danger of the suspension of ed- ucation. If this war were to be of the duration which its magnitude ‘hreatened, France more than ever would need a high standard of educa-; tion and capability and moral respons- ibility in her future citizens. The school authorities were as yrompt as the military authorities in this dilemna, and vy a super-human effort managed that there should ‘be no interruption tothe educational sys- In one of the cities near the front, where every building of any size was taken over for the soldiery, there was only a fiveday suspension; but when the big intermediate school recovered it was scattere] among seventeen un- finished buildings, residences, small shops, anything.
