HE Country Day School has
been hailed ns & new depart
ment In education; rather
may It bo looked upon as a
Jng back to the days of tho little
. rS$chool house, when tho meant lot
cfiSfc by, the adjacent brooks and
woods, claimed all n boy's free time
soufof school when the schoolmaster
tif the personal friend, tho play fel
the companion of the groups that
flly started off for after school dl
relons, now called "extra cur
"Acuium activities." It Is tho organ,
filled; effort for the normal in a boy's
llie,! combining the education of the
hrae, tho fnmlly church, the class
mom and the playing fields Into his
1 dlly round ; preparing lilm not nlono
'.JSeV-college entrance and professional
sttidy but for homo making of his
J&'n'-somo dny, for taking his part In
tike family church, for bringing to the
political and social questions of his
rontnnnlty the understanding and in
terest of onr broueht un nmonH-Uiem.
The Country Day School nsuch Is
H-groTTUJ 01 me insi twenty years, auu
already, beginning with the Gllraan
School of Baltimore, .over twenty-flve
recognized schools of this type have
fraug Into prominence in or rather
oiit of the largest communities, from
. liwtton to Kansas City. These
Schools belong of necessity to the
largo cities and come In response to
tJ.falr demand of tho city boy for
epsaethlng to do and somewhere to do
"tt!ln the afternoon, for a real place to
- Mkr his games ns they should be
, played, which should be the right of
s every boy and Is a very Important
clement In his development Into the
ablest and finest typejf man; In re
onse also to his demand for proper
instruction In the subjects required
for entrance to the college of his
choice, for helpful comradeship and
lftiplrlng leadership among boys- and
, Makers, and finally for tho Joy and
irtajjfdlsclpllne of homo life during his
formative years.
.'All this the Country Day School
aifns to do, to glvo the boy everything
t$e(jbest boarding schools have been
' nblq to give during tbe day and then
tivwsid the boy home for the normal
a&bclatlons of family life. Dally we
nriei coming to recognize more fully
tSpf Importance of this family life.
Toil do not teach a boy how to make
ngbome by keeping him away from
one during his most impressionable
years; to be interested and helpful
Jiljlocal problems by sending him out
ot'the way of hearing about them;
. toTfeel a responsibility for his home
' church, a joy In Its service, by brlng
Ingihlm up in another religious at
mosphere; to resist the Inevitable
temptations of college life by giving
, l)Jm. the almost monastic' life of the
,t jiyding sehool until ho goes to
.allege.
t, jSiirhe Country Day School has ex
' Ssted long enough to show quite con-
; jfcltwlvely that its supervised study
:- iours. Its closer association with care
: .-Jnlly chosen masters, can fit tho boys
So', compare favorably with boys from
warding schools In the college en
:r&nce examinations: that its organ
. ised play. Its carefully trained teams,
; intelligent physical supervision
" &5vo done much far the health qnd
? spirit of the boys; that the greater
personal responsibility developed in
5the hoys who have learned what to
vold In city life prepares them to
. Jaeet the distractions and the tempts
iilbns of college life much more wisely
Shan does the secluded life of tho
Jrural boarding school. Finally, that
She closer touch with civic and church
Affairs gives the boy n broader outlook
:and tends to make him more ready to
inke his place and to do his part In
&fs native city on his return from
SSileire.
Cooperation is one of the basic prln-
' ' ulnUa rte ilia Hmjta nnri hna n mnst
important part In the work of the
Country Day School. The school, the
Some, and the boy must work together
aji; sympathy If the school Is to meas

finally, It must keep before Its boys

steadily refusing the appeals for out
side things which creep In so easily
to nil n boy's time and thoughts and
warp his perspective. It Is not tha
one evening nt the movies Is so bad
in Itself, though the shallowness and
artificiality of most of tho movlo
themes make thera.nnythtng but help
ful for boys ; it la that one such eve
ning begets another, throws the boy
out of his habits of study nnd leads
him to feel that his school work Is
not the most Important thing for him
but may easily bo set aside for'varl
ous distractions.
Tho family should keep tho boy an
active contributing part of the family
circle, making the most of the sun
shine nnd tho discipline which ho
brings into the household, while he
learns to love nnd to respond to the
broadenipg and gentling influences of
dally association with sisters, mother
and father.
Tho boy's part In the cooperation Is
a simple hut a most important, nnd
hould be n very happy part. He
must recognize and make the most of
tho opportunities and the consequent
responsibilities that such a school
gives, and at home must do his bit
In tho many ways we all understand. '
An outline of the dally routine In
the Country Dny School may be of
Interest. As In most schools, tho day
opens at 0 with brief chapel exer
cises, religions but not sectarian In
character. Then come recitations and
supervised study periods until 11:30.
when the juniors,; the youngest boys,
go out to play for an hour, after
which they lunch and nt 1 return to
work until 4:30, with another ploy
period thrown In at 2:30. The mid
dlers lunch' at 12:15 and then arc
free for their sports until 2:30, when
they return to work until C. The
seniors have a lunch period nt 1 ami
then continue work until 3:15, when
they go to their games until 5:15.
Thus all ages have their, sports by
themselves and so separated that the
little boys have the playing fields, the
gymnasium or the pool to themselves
with the complete supervision of the
Instructors, Just ns much as do the
seniors.
Saturday afternoon most of tho Im
portant matches ure played and Sat
urday morning Is set apart for speclol
work for boys who from Illness or
other causes are behind In their
studies. -At this "time the Instructor
hns a chance to work with the boy
Individually, to find his particular
trouble and help him meet It, and so
to save many a boy who otherwise
would fall hopelessly behind. This
Saturday morning work Is an Impor
tant factor In the Country Dny School
plan nnd Is 60 recognized by mosief
the boys nnd their parents.
Many methods for bringing into
closer touch with the home have
been, developed. Ono of the best
Is known as "fathers' dinners," when
fathers dine with the masters of the
school, talk over any subject that
bears on the work, becoming ac
quainted with the men who are teach'
ing their sons nnd getting the lrispjra-
tloh of their Ideals In the work.
Such In the main Is tho programme
of the Country Day School. The
Brooklyn Polytechnic Is almost the
youngest of these schools, but nl
ready It is tho largest, and It feels
that the success of Its boys n their
college entrance examlnntlohsthnd the
enthusiastic support accorded It by the"
parents as well nsby tho boys them'
selves Indicates that It Is In part at
least measuring up to tho high mis
Bton of the Country Day School.

Bellevue Art Training
Centre of the A. E. F.
THE Bellevue Art Training Centre of
tho A. R F., at Bellevue, Selne-et-Olse,
In 1919. was organized as an
Independent post under Major George H.
Gray of the Engineers and functioned
from March to June last. The curriculum
was arranged by Mr. Lloyd Warren, the
director of education and dean of the
factulty, He had as assistants George S.
Hdlman. Ernest Polxotto. Solon Borg
lum, Lesllo Cauldwell, W. C Tltcomb,
Clarence E. Howard. Archibald M. Brown
and Robert F. Logan. The work was
classified In the departments of archi
tecture, painting, sculpture, interior deco
ration, city planning and Itineraries.
Mayor Gray says In his report: "Our
army of citizen-soldiers found Itself at
thn end of the campaign In a foreign land
which Is a veritable treasure house of
art of every description, whose whole
history Is Intricately Interlaced wltji the
history of art, a land which for ages has
bren producing masters and master
works, a. land replete with museums,
schools and Instructors of great gifts.
To our citizen' artists, who are momen
tarily soldiers, the army authorities
granted the high privilege of dropping
their arms and taking up' the Implements
of their arts. Such were the extraor
dinary conditions under which this school
came Into existence, and such were the
educational opportunities which the edu
cational director so ably moulded to his
purpose."
The reports of the Instructora nnd the
reproductions of the work of the stu
dents hear testimony to the versatility of
our soldiers and to the fidelity with
which they have availed themselves of
their opportunities. The building used
was tho former Palace Hotel at Belle
vue, which had Just been vacated by
the Ai R. C, where it had served as a
base hospital. It Was arranged that all
the 'students should visit the monu
ments and places of general artistic In-
1 terert In Paris and Us vicinity, including
clinteaux,- museums, exhibitions, fn:

CAMP BIVEBDALE.
At Camp Rlverdale In the Ad!
rondacks. Long Lake, Hamilton county,-
N. T a group of youths be
tween 12 and 16 years is having
the. finest of the eight summers
In the experience of the camp. They
are spending the time largely on 'trips
Into the deep woods. Already they
have climbed the highest mountains' In
the neighborhood of the camp Kemp
shall, Owl's Head, Blue Mountain and
Seward and this week they are due to
take Ampersand.
The weather has been wonderfully
fortunate. Tho Kempshall group had
the opportunity to scan the horizon ft)'
almost Its entire circumference, and to
see lakes and peaks which are only rare
ly visible. On Blue Mountain, however,
tho atmospheric conditions were the finest
thus far. The sky was brilliantly
blue, flecked only with small clouds.
and ,the vision was such to include
White Face, sixty miles to the east:
Marcy, forty miles distant, and all qfj
the other great peaks. Ltiue mountain
Is high enough to look down upon all
of the surrounding country, so that the
view over tho billowing mountains was
unforgetfuL
This Blue Mountain trip was quite
remarkable In that the party consisted of
forty-one altogether. Tha Rlverdale
boys always go Into the mountains with'
out a guide or other help, and take care
of themselves entirely. It was no small
achievement for a group of this size to
maintain Itself with splendid food and
sleening device over three days.
On tha third day of the trip the rain
came down plentifully, but had no ef
fect upon the ardor of the campers, ana
In sDlte of the downpour they reached
home reasonably dry and thoroughly
haDny.
The Seward trip was undertaken by
a party of fourteen. Including only the
strongest and best campers, which Is the
most difficult climb of the year. There
The school was opened on March 6 and
It soon contained 350 students, but
many of them could remain but a. short
time.
In addition to the faculty, as noted
above, tho , cooperation of French
savants was sought and obtained by -the
director, and lectures were given In
English by ten notable authorities on
such subjects as French architecture,
painting, sculpture. Interior decoration
and applied art) Among the French
lecturers were J. J. Haffner, Salomon
Rclnach, Louis Dlmler, L. Hourtlcq,
Marquet de Vasselot. Frltsch-Estrangln,
Glr'aldon, Demotte, J. C. N. Forestler,
and others.
Mr. Warren says that no undertaking
could have received more loyal, devoted
and able collaboration ttian the members
of the faculty and the staff of Instructors
brought to bear on this work. From the
beginning they showed keen desire to put
their best abilities and energies at the
service of the men In khaki. "The same
sincere Interest,'' he adds, "I encountered
In all my relations with the French art
ists and savants whose cooperation I
asked." On the part of the students a
corresponding appreciation. Intelligence
and application to study made the task
of the faculty easy. So, on the whole,
the director thinks the results obtained
were most satisfactory.
Capt Polxotto'a report of the depart
ment of painting Is particularly Interest
ing. In March, through the cooperation
of the "French Homes" and of M. Jean
Rene Carrlere, Bculptor, son of the cele
brated artist, Eugene Carrlere, a series
of visits to the studios of the most noted
French artists was begun, these visits
continuing every Wednesday afternoon.
This was a privilege that no students In
Paris had ever before enjoyed. Two or
three studios were visited each week,
about thirty students, accompanied by
M. Carrlere and Cant. Pelxotto, spend
ing an hour or two with each of the
great painters, sculptors and draughts
men, hearing them talk of their art and
their work, seeing that work In Its va
rious stages of completion, visualizing
the personality and surroundings of each
man'.
In turn, they were taken to the studios
of conservatives and radicals In art, And
were thus enabled to form their own
Ideas as to which of the theories or pres
ent day art was best suited to their own
opinions and temperaments. Tho studios
visited Included those of Bonnat, Bes
nard, Roll, Cormon, Cottet, Blanche, Gor
guet. Reno Meqard, Van Dongcn, Paul
Chahna. ATIIa. Dnfflii Tnnttr Rt1n1n
I Wlllette, bevambez, Jonas, Batmomo.
Dam ft. Bouchard Bourdelle, Slcard and
Desbots.
Toward the end of the term the stu
dents of the painting departments made
two excursions to famous French land
scape sketching grounds. On pirty went
Into Normandy, visiting Vetheull and ,
Glverny, where they saw the home of .
Monet, then on to Andelys and the lower
valley of the Seine. The other party
went to the painters' liiunts around Fon
tatnebleau. visiting Barh'zon, where they
sw the homes of Millet, Rousseau,
Diaz, Barye and Jacques, spending the
night In tha ra'j- of Fnntalnebleau
Itself, and visiting the next day Marlotte,
Montlgny, Moret and Eamoln.

EXEMPT RHODES SCHOLARS,
Prof.. Frank fedelotte of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, Amer
ican secretary to the Rhodes trustees,
announces that the University of Oxford
has passed a statute granting exemption
from Greek to graduates of approved
American colleges and universities who
may enter Oxford senior standing. This
makes It possible for the first time
(aside from military exemptions granted
during the war) to obtain the A. B.
degree from Oxford without Greek. The
statute was mtroaucea Dy ur. a. at.
Walker of Queen's College, who repre
sented the University of Oxford on the
mission from British universities which
visited the United States last autumn.
The result Is that Oxford Is willing to
give her degree to graduates of foreign
universities without Greek, while Insist
ing on ins stuay oi ureeK xrom ner own
undergraduates.
Several months ago the Rhodes trustees
announced the abandonment of the Qual
ifying examination In Latin and Greek,
formerly reauirea of an canaiaates ror
the Rhodes scholarships, but the action
of the Rhodes trustees did not of course
affect the Oxford requirement .of a "suf
ficient knowledge" of Greek for the A. B.
degree. The requirement Is now re
moved so far as graduates of approved
foreign universities are concerned, and
these graduates are allowed to enter at
once on the work for their final honor
school, devoting themselves entirely to
special study of the, subject In which
they will take their degree Advanced
standing 'and exemption from Greek
under this statute are obtained by a
man on his .credentials without examina
tion. AMERICAN ORIENTAL SOCIETY.
In accordance with suggestions made
during the war there has been arranged
a Joint meeting of the Soclete Aslatlque,
the Royal Astatic Society and tho Amer
ican Oriental Society. The meeting will
be held In London September 3-6. The
dates originally set were later In tho
month, but were changed tn order not to
Interfere with the academic year In
American colleges. The meeting will
offer to Americans an excellent oppor
tunity for fruitful conferences with
French and British colleagues upon the
various plans for greater public service
which the American society .took vigor
ously In hand at Philadelphia last April
notably upon the. plan of establishing
an American school of living Oriental
languages.
It Is suggested that any American
members who may find It feasible to
take part In this meeting send word to

RATIFICATION by the Government
of Chile and the University tt
of professors and Instructors between
the United States and the South Amer
ican republlo formulated aby the Uni
versity of California committee on his
panlo relations has been effected by of
ficial decree of the Government of Chile
through Its minister of publlo Instruc
tion, Pablo Ramirez, advices to the Uni
versity of California stated. An appro
priation of 112,000 Xor the coming year
had been provided under the decree
signed by President Sanfuentes of Chile.
Both the president of the University of
Chile, Domingo Amunategul, and tha
minister of public Instruction nave an
nounced their readlness-to recelvo as the
first exchange professor from the United
Slates Charles E. Chapman, Associate
Professor of Hlspanlo American History
In the University of California.
Chtlq's official ratification of the ex
change professor project marks the
first definite result of plana of the late
Professor H. Morse Stephens whereby
the University of California was to be
come a centre for exchanges of profes
sors and students with the leading .His
panic countries. of tha world, apd for the
study of the history and contemporary
problems of Spain and Portugal, and
more particularly of the Hlspanlo re
publics in the two continents of the
Americas. It was largely due to the
death of Professor Btephens that the
proposed exchange of Professors Ra
fael Altamlra of tho University of .i
drld and Professor Herbert E. Bolton
of the University of California for 1919
20 was postponed. Professor Stephens
had also been instrumental tn opening
discussion with a view to a series of ex
changes between the University of Cali
fornia and tho National University of
Mexico.

Professors Between
and a Western, University
In the schools of the State. An earnest
effort will be made In every cas to
elect the candidates-who will bost serve
the purposes of the exchange. 1
In each year there are to b not less
than two or more than four oxrhange
professors or Instructors from each
country, of whom one at the most Is ti
exchangro with a professor of tho Uni
versity of Chile, however, tho exchange"
at tho outset will be limited to two from
Chile and the United States respectively
"It Is absolutely essential that the ox-
change professors and Instructors shall
be able to speak the language of, the
country In which they nre to teach; or
dinarily the teachers of the secondary
grade will be called upon to teach Eng
lish, unless they have tho training en
abling them to teach sufili technical sub
jects aa, manual arts, agriculture, &c
More latitude as io UDjeci matter win
be allowed to the exchange professors.
"A second essential for candidates I
that tbey shall come from a suitable
school with which the exchange can be
arranged. The plan is for each country
to pay the salaries and expenses of ltr
own exchange professors and Instructor',
while the country to which they are sent
receives-thelr teaching free of charge.
"It Is to be noted further that the
Chilean school year begins tn March
and ends In December. This means that
Instructors from ihe United States will
take out their leaves of absence to begin
In January, at which time the Instruc
tors from Chile will arrive to tako their
places."
While Prof. Chapman of the .Univer
sity of California will be the first United
