LYNX-EYED.
Mme. Curie has applied for admission for her eldest daughter, 16 years'old, to a lycee for boys. She thinks the moro serious and scientific education given to boys is better fitted to benefit her daughter than the kind of instruction usually furnished in girls' schools in France. Tho faculty of tho Lycee has refused, with horror. One of its professors, who has taught also in gilds' schools, declares that it is a terrible ordeal; that tho girls watch a teacher with lynx eyes and criticise every detail of his costume; and that it is easier to teach 100 boys than one girl. Mine. Curie is pressing her point persistently. An English paper says that society cannot afford to refuse the fullest educational chance to a daughter oi Mme. Curie, as it might mean hampering tho development of an invaluable genius.
