One group of collaborators whose
work was ‘apparent but who did not

which they merited ,was the technical

thanks for. an enjoyable evening.
_. The whole affair was in the nature
of an experiment. Not everyone was
sure that the difficulties of collabora-
tion, much of it at a distance of, fifty
miles, would. be overcome. But the
serious eagerness to work and com-

institution, but I have never seen the
people of*any country flock to these
“flews watering places” in such num-

great number of different papers..
Even the street cars in Prague are
hung with newspapers for the weary
business men coniing home from the
office, or perchance for his maid.
One of the many wonders of the
city to me was the student reading

and periodicals .are_ regularly
available to the students, and these
publications come from almost every
nation, in almost ‘every language.
German, Russian, French, American
and English papers are there in great
numbers. Furthermore, every chair

opening to closing. The greater pro-

rule of the room gives some idea of
the tenacity with which these stu-

It is: “Students leaving the room for
‘lunch cannot hold chairs for more
than one-half. hour.” :
' This strange situation—people read-
ing so many different papers every
day—should be explained by certain
facts, which define the European
newspapers. The periodicals are on
