I -THE FRENCH AT SCHOOL. tlnw .'Mental Pabulum I Formul Upon thn Voiiii" (liml with Very l.lttln Aiiiusn nient , Pmir Prrpnrntloii for Life's Duties. Our dear parent In Franco uro fund jf tolling their children thnt theronru no Ihvk ho happy In life ns nchool tlnya. After I hud lusted what school life really was I can well romcniher that I formal a very oor Idea of what awaited lite heyond tho school Kates. My opinion h that when French parents liavo made tip their inintls to kcikI n hoy 10 ycara old to a lyceo till ho U U0, thoy have Hcutcnccd htm to Hotnethiu very near, In Hoverlty. to ten years' penal servitude. Winter and miuimor tho French ncliool hoy risL3 at 5 in tho morning: or, rather, ho is snppoaod to do ho. Tho (tret boll riud at 8 n. in., to tell him ho is to get up; a second one rings at 5:23, to Inform h'm that in live minutes ho must he down; and a third liell, at 5::i0. enjoins him to leavo tho dormitory. Of counte liu rises at G:25, puU on his clothes with prodigious rapidity, gives himself a dry polish, ii In Squccrs, with a towel, or more often with Ids knuckles, and Is quite ready at tix'M to go down to tho study room. From this you will easily Infer that a pint of water goes a long way in a dormitory of sixty French boys. In tho study room, under the supervision of an usher, called pioti. nnd of whom I shall Imvo more to say by and by, ho prepares his lessons for the professors till 7:.)l), Breakliwt Is ready at 8. Considering what tho menu of this repast consists of, I have nhvays won dered how it could take tho cool: ho long to got it ready. During tho free ten minutes that precede breakfast time, n few boys go and havo a, wash. These go by tho name of nristos (aristocrats). The threo meals of the day boar tho grand names of breakfast, dinner and suppnr. Breakfast consists of a plato of soup and a large plcco of bread. Most boys keep chocolate or jam, or buy Rome of the porter, to eat with their bread. t 0:!1D they have to bo in their respec tive class rooms with their masters. The class lasts two hours, after which they return to the study room to preparo until 13 for tho afternoon class. From 13 to 1 thoy dino and play. Doth these words would convey to an English mind a meaning that it has not in French. Tho dinner generally consists of stews and vegetables, swimming in mysterious sauces. The bread is ad libitum. When a boy has flubbed his pieco ho holds up his hand ns a sign ho is ready for an other. A man holding a basket full of -ut loaves is Btationed in such a position as will allow htm to fill all those pairs of empty hands as fast us they are put up. Ho flings, tho boys catch; it is quito a dexterous gamo, I assuro you. If a boy misses tho piuso intended for him, his neighbor not infrequently catches and pockets it, partly as a precaution against posslblo pang3 of hunger before tho noxt meal, partly for the love of disobeying tlio rules, one of which enacts that no food shall bo pocketed. Tho drink is called ubondance, and is mado up of a good tablespoonful of wino in a decanter of water. As for play, it lias to tako placo in a more or less larja yard, surrounded by bigh walls, very much like a prison walk. Not a tree, not a blade of gross to bo seen; a mere graveled yarJ, noth ing more. There tho Ikivs walk two by two, or in larger groups tho big ones talking polities, and smoking cigarettes insldo their coats, while tho usher Is at a distance; tlio llttlo ones indulging in a game of top or marbles in one of tlio corners. At 1 o'clock thoy aro to bo in their places in tho study room till 3, when it is time to go to tho afternoon class, which lasts till 4 o'clock. On leaving tho masters, to bo immediately handed over to tho ushers, thoy each re ceive at 4 a piece of bread, which thoy aro allowed to eat in tlio yard with what ever relish they may possess, or wish to buy of tho porter. Thoy play till 0:30, when they return to tlio study room to do their lessons for tho following day. At 8 o'clock supper is ready. To this, like to all their other meals, thoy go two by two, after having proviottaly all formed Into ranks in the yard. Tho (.upper con sists of boiled beef, or a course or two of vegetables; sometimes an applo or a fow cherries, according to tho season, bright en tho not very festivo board. In my timo cherries were tho most popular des 6oi t; after -having refreshed tho inner boy, it provided him with missiles, which woro turned to good account on the spot when tho usher had his back turned. For drink, the mixture as before. After this frugal repast tho boys repair, two by two, to their respective dormitories. Those who care to indulge in a little washing may do bo before going to bed, sons to be clean tho following day. I say "thoso who caro," for never will an usher make a remark to a French boy over 13 (when ho is no longer under tho supervision of a matron) becauso ho is dirty, not even in tlio refectory. Pro vided ho has a cravat on, nobody will scold him for having a dirty nock. If cleanliness is noxt to godliness, tho French Bchoolboy is most ungodly. On Thursday ho gets a holiday that is to say, that no class is held; but lie has to be in tho study room tho whole morning and evening. In tho afternoon he goes for u walk. Hero again an Eng lishman would not understand, without fomo explanation, what is meant by the French schoolboy's walk. The college Is divided into big, middle and small Inns. Each division is formed into ranks, and thus, two by two, accompanied by ush ers, tho boys nro marched through tho streets, Sileuco is compulsory whilo Iti town, and tho ranks uro not to bo broken until tho llttlo battalion ban reached tho iinni mxwum country. There they can piny, wnlk or tit on tho grass, under tho oyes of tho ushers, for an hour or two, when tho ranks nro formed again and thoy nro marched hack to what I havo no hesita tion In calling their barracks, not to my their prison. On Hundojs, tho loy who has his parents or guardian in town is allowed to go home for tho day if ho is not kept in for one of thoso thousand and ono potty olTenscs invented nt pleas ure by the ushers mid their Mtpporters. On leaving school, on Sunday morn ing, ho receives an exeat, on which tho hour of his departure is marked, and tho parents nro to write on It at what timo ho has reached home. Ho hns to bo back nt nchool nt 10 p. in., punctually, and again his parents havo to write on the cxent nt what timo ho loft their house, lie generally returns on Sunday night in a comatose state, nnd tho homo faro tells Badly on tho work he dots on Mondays. Ho gets fewer holidays than the moro fortunate British schoolboy; two months in tho summer, two or three days ut tho U'glnnlng of the year, and n r.eck or ten days nt Easter. Such is tho happy llfo that boys lend In French public schools. Fortunately thero Is a great deal of guy philosophy in tho French mind, nnd tho cIoho friendship that springs up between tho RchoolboyH nnd their esprit do corps help them to endure this secluded llfo of hardship and privation. Now let us consider tho influence this kind of llfo hns on tho French Uiy's character, what work ho does nt school, nnd who nro tho men thnt look after htm. Shut in by the high walls of his prison, tho oor French schoolboy Is only too prone to compare himself to thodilicri'iit classes of society which ho considers per secuted that is, the inferior classes; and ho shows his sympnthy with them by adopting the ideas of nn Ignorant de mocracy, nnd by often expressing them in languago which would be repugnant to his dignity if ho were froo. Poor llttlo fellows! When they can evade tho por ter's vigilance, and run acrons tho road to buy a jrenny worth of sweets, they feel iiko perfect heroes of romance. On their return, their schoolfellows Hock round them to sniff a llttlo of the fresh nnd free air thnt is brought Inside tho walls. If tho young scamps nro punished for their csenpade, they bear it like champions of liberty who have fought for the good causo, and nro looked up to by their com rades us martyrs and heroes. Under the circumstances, it is not sur prising that they should now nnd then show n spirit of rolelllon. Suppose, for instance, that some privilege which the pupils have long enjoyed nnd looked upon as their right has been withdrawn rigidly or wrongly, no matter which. In such a case ns this English schoolboys would hold u meeting, probably presided over by ono of their masters, und thoy would draw up u petition, which thoy would send to tlio head master. Hut in French schools meetings nro prohibited. What will tho boys do then? As I have described elsewhere, they will probably retire to a dormitory, there to Bulk and protest. Thoy will erect barricades, lock the doors, victual tho intrenchments for a fow hours and prepare for a struggle Rebellion lias wonderful charms for them; they uro insurgents, therefore they uro heroes. Don't nsk them whother their causo is good or bad. This mntters little; it will bo sanctified by tho revolu tion: tho main thing is to play at tho "sovereign people." These hot headed youths will stand a siege us earnestly as If they were defending their native soil against the Prussians, Dictionaries, ink stands, lioots, bedroom furniture, such nro tho missiles that aro pressed into service in tlio glorious battle of liberty. But alas for youthful valor! It all fades before the pleadings of an empty stom ach: tho struggle has to bo abandoned, tho citadel forsaken, tlio nrms laid ifvn Tho laifjjulded ones tire received back into tho fold, to be submitted to stricter disclpllno than ever; tho heroic instigat ors of tho little fete nro in tlio cud re stored to tho tender euro of their mam mas, or, in other words, expelled from tho 6chool. Corporal punishment is banished fmm nil schools in France. If n master were to Btrlko a boy, the odds arc ten to ono that tho boy would defend himself, and threat en tlio master witli tho 11 rst object inkpot or book ho could lay his hand on. Boys nro punished by means of long und weary impositions. If boarders, they nro kept in on Sundays, and thus prevented from going home. This is a terrible punish ment. When they seem incorrigible thoy uro expelled. And for a boy to bo oxpcllcd from u French lyceo is no light matter; for tho doors of ull tho others aro closed to him, und tho faculties may even refuse to allow him to stand ns a candidate for tho university degrees. His prospect in life may bo ruined for over; for in Franco a man who is neither D. A. nor D. So. cannot study medicine or the law; ho cannot enter tho military schools, or Ihj n candldato for any of tho government posts nt homo or abroad. Business is the only opening left to him. From the time tablo thnt I have given at tho beginning, it will bo easily In ferred that, if tlio French schoolboy plays losu than tho British ono, ho works much mure. But with what results? Tlio classes in French lycees contain from eighty to a hundred boys. Thoy uro generally composed of some ten pupils of extraordinary capacities or industry, of about twenty who follow tho lectures with Homo profit, of twenty moro who follow them anyhow, and of thirty, for ty, and oven sometimes fifty poor boys, neglected, forgotten, who do and learn nothing, and aro mere wall flowers. Thoy aro all promoted by seniority that premium still given in Franco to stupid ity, as M. Leon Say onco remarked in tho French scnato. I remember school fellows of eighteen und nineteen in tho highest form who did not know their de clensions. Boys may bo attentive or not, us they please that is their busi ness. Provided they do not disturb tho peace, nothing moro is required of them in tho upper forms. Thoy liny oven go to sleep, and the master will seldom tako tho trouble to wake them up. If the Imy Is not likely to do honor to his teaching, do does not think it worth his while to concern himself about him. With such largo classes as I havo do- scribed, boys cannot nnd do not receivo individual attention from tho masters, who deliver lecturos to them, hut cer tainly do not give them lessons. With tho nmotint of work thnt clever nnd In dustrious boys go through, each class turns out nt tho end of tho fnx at least ten splendid scholars. As for the rest, you Bee twenty good average Imys, twen ty jKHir ones, and from thirty to fifty hopeless Ignoramuses. Each class has to go through a course prescribed by the minister of publlo Instruction, nnd no master has a right to rend n hook with his pupils, not even the passage of n IxHik, thnt Is not down on tho minis, terial programme. A professor who car ried his interest in his pupils the length of Introducing a new hook In his class would probably havo his real rewarded with a mastership In tho college of Home llttlo out of tho wny town hi Franco, or perhaps In Algeria. By this govern mental system of fuss and intrusion, It Is not only the talent of the pupil that is stilled, but it is also tho talent of tho master that is hampered, What Is to be admired In French schools is that tho IniyH get on very well with one another. Friendship sprung up nt school often lasts a lifetime. Tho iniys stick by each other to such n point that, rather than tell on nu of fender, they will nil allow themselves to bo punished for his olfeuso, oven though the punishment should amount to the much dreaded detention on (Sunday. Tho hero of the French colleglen Is the top U,y of the class not the iiulckest runner or thoVst athlete. Thndunco is tho only comrade he despises, A boy who hns carried olT a prise ut tlio great Sorlionue examination Is for him the ob ject of tin unlimited admiration, and ho feels inclined to lift his cap when lie passes near him. The head of the college is called pro vlseur. Ho does no teaching. Ho repro sents high uuthoiity thnt Is to sny tho government. He is u saluting machine. Ho stands in the middle of tho quad rangle us the boyH proceed to their re spectivo class rooms. All tnko off their caps us they pass beforo the mighty m tentate. Tho proviseur does not know personally moro than ten or twenty of tho thousand boys trusted to his euro. The work nnd discipline of tho college nre under tho mi)ervislou of a censor. Tho masters, most of whom aro ox-scholars of the celebrated Ecolo Normalo Sueri euro, nro eminent men, but they never mix with the boyh out of school hours. Thoy nro much resjiected by their pupils, in whom admiration for talent is innate. Tho ushers, or pious, jiro mere watch dogs. Thoy see that tho Ikivh uro silent in tho study rooms, tho refectory und tho dormitory. Thoy nre Ignorant, ill bred outcasts, whom the boys desplso from tho bottom of their hearts. When n French boy leaves school nt 10 ho Is supposed to bo prepared for a publlo pnrt. Second jiaprr entitled "The French at War" will appear In our irf Isiue, Notice of Publication.
