“HEROES” AND “TRAITORS.”
A teacher recently returned from France tells me, says the London correspondent of the ‘ Manchester Guardian,’ that he saw in a communal school in Picardy remarkable evidence of the height to which feeling is running in the Dreyfus business. Upon the walls of the schoolroom the master of the school had painted up full in view of the children the names of certain generals connected with the Dreyfus case, and these were labelled “ heroes;” Below them were painted up the names of Dreyfus, Picquart, and Zola, and these were labelled “traitors.” That this should be permitted in an “ecole communale,” under public management and Government ' inspection, and maintained at the national cbs£, is significant of how the Dreyfus case is j cutting at the roots of law and order in J France, even in the less excitable northern portions of th country.
