The Porter Is Adamant In his recollections he dismissed the saturnalia with a paragraph as follows : "If J was Inclined to increase the general horror Inspired by an action so barbarous as that Inaugurated on the twenty-fourt- h of August, 1572. and too well known by the name of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, I should enlarge upon the "number, the quality, the virtues and great talents of those who were Inhumanly murdered as well In Paris" as in every part of the kingdom; I should mention at least the Ignominious treatment, the flendlike cruelty and savage insults these miserable victims suffered from their butchers and which In death were a thousand times more terrible than death Itself." Passing on to the parts played by him as a refugee and an he wrote of them In these words: "I was In bed, and awaked from sleep three hours after midnight by the' sound of all the bells and the confused cries of the populace. My governor, St Julian, with my valet de chatnbre, went hastily out to know the cause; and I never afterwards heard more of these men who without doubt were amongst the first that wtre sacrificed to the public fury. I continued alone In my chamber dressing myself, when In a few moments I saw the landlord enter, pale, and ln the utmost consternation. He was of the reformed religion, and having learned what the matter was had consented to go to mass to save bis life and preserve his house from being pillaged. He came to persuade me to do the same and to take me with hlin. I did not think proper to follow him but resolved to try If I could gain the college of Burgundy where I had studied, though the great distance between the bouse where I then was and the college made the attempt very dangerous. "Having disguised myself in a scholar's gown. I put a large prayer book under my arm and went Into the street I was seized with horror inexpressible at the sight of the furious murderers who running from all parts forced open the houses and cried aloud, 'Kill, kill, massacre the Huguenots !' The blood which I saw shed before my eyes redoubled my terror. I fell Into the midst of a body of guards. They stopped me. Interrogated me, and were beginning to use me 111 when, happily for me, the book that I carried was perceived and served me for a passport Twice after this I fell Into the -aine dnngei from which I extricated myself with the same good fortune. "At last I arrived at the college of Burgundy, where danger still greater than any I had yet met with awaited me. The porter having twice refused me entrance, I continued standing in the midst of the street at the mercy of the furious murderers whose numbers Increased every moment, and who were evidently seeking for their prey, when It came into my mind to ask for La Faye, the principal of this college a good man by whom I was tenderly beloved. The porter, prevailed upon which by some small pieces of money I put Into his hand, admitted me; and my friend carried me to his apartment, where two inhuman bigots whom I heard mention Sicilian veshim pers, wanted to force me from In sayme cut pieces, that they might even ing the order was not to spare Infants at the breast All the good man could do was to conduct me privhe ately to a dlxtant chamber where confined I was Here me locked up. three days, uncertain of my destiny; and saw no one but a servant of my friend's who came from time to time to bring me provisions.

In a footnote to the Due de Sully's memoirs this statement is appended by the scholar who edited the work In the century following the author's death : "Nothing Is more certain than that he (King Charles) was seen with a carbine In his hand during the massacre which, 'tis said, he fired upon the Calvinists that were flying. The last Mareschal de Teffe, In his youth was acquainted with an old man ninety years of age who had been page to Charles IX and who often told bim that he himself had loaded that carbine.

Gone forever are the dunce cap, the roller towel, the birch rod, the recitation bench, the tin dipper, and the common water bucket that once e were indispensable adjuncts of the little red schoolhouse. Today the little red schoolhouse itself is fast following them into oblivion. The magnitude of the rural school problem at the present time is not generally appreciated. When we speak of the country school, we mean 57 per cent of America's elementary school enrollment. When we speak of the country school teacher, we mean 64 per cent of the elementary teachers of the nation. And when we speak of the country school, we mean 91 per cent of the elementary schools. In my state we are developing state rural demonstration schools to serve as standards for a better type of rural school. We are training teachers to take the general materials of education and shape them to the condition of the rural school. The greatest function of the new teacher is to develop an environment simple, natural and beautiful, in which there is an informal rather than atmosphere of happy living. The new school is teacher-centere- d. In the old school it was the teacher who was active, planning, inventing, organizing, talking. The reorientation of the school around the child naturally leads to the acceptance of the necessity' for child interest and activity. old-tim- well.'" Coligny, the great admiral, was tbe most notable victim.
