The patroness pf a boarding school for young ladies had expressed her disapprobation of their coiffure, which she considered as too coquettish. The lady who had the superintendence of the clasH.was so much affected by this censure, that she ordered all the young ladies' hair to be cropped quite short. This was regarded as a great indignity, and as as soon as it was dark, the young ladies attacked, the supposed offender, threw a sheet over her head, knocked her down, and maltreated her so seriously that she died in a few hours. It turned out afterwards that these paragons of feminine propriety had made a mistake in the dark, and vented their fury on a wrong person. . The unhappy victim was what we should call in England a parlor boarder, who on the evening in question had undertaken to disc'ur^e the duties of the usual class teacher. Mr Samuelson sates in his letter on the .education of the industrial classes that in 1866 4,515,917 children were receiving instruction iu primary schools in France, of whom 1,917,074, being the children of poor person?, paid no school fees. The communes paid £874,000 towards the cost f of public primary schools, and the school fees amounted to about £800,000, both earns being a direct charge upon the inhabitants of the communes.
