EDUCATION IN RUSSIA.
One of the most hopeful signs of the progress of civilisation in Russia is the great sacrifice made by private people to promote education. Every day one bears of new schools being founded, of funds being collected in aid of needy students, etc. The loujui Kray gives interesting details of a peasant near Moscow, who, hardly able to read himself without the help somebody, has built outside of Moscow a large stone house for a school, on land bought for the purpose. The building will accommodate 300 boys, and has cost more than 40,000 roubles, and he gave the school land worth more than 100,000 roubles, and producing an interest of 6000 roubles a year, and besides endowed the school with 100,000 roubles. The same man, Ivan Ilyich Novikov, is now building another gratuitous school, for 450 children, and he has kept for a long time a third school, with 240 children, So an uneducated cart-driver has enabled 700 children to receive education in schools supported entirely by himself.
