It cannot recommence until Germany pays the war damages to France, 'and France subdivides the Indemnity Into the. proportions demanded by each de- partment canton and commune for the erection and equipment of schools. As Germany Is only expected to pay 25,000,000 francs immediately and the rest In twenty years, the most hopeful outlook for French education Is of fhd prewar force and equipment within the next two decades. In the meantime, says the Brooklyn Eagle, children who ceased to .attend school In ltH are five years In arrears, and for a: leneraflon ,will, continue to study on a 23 per cent efficiency basis.
