[Progress in' Netherlands - India.
Among the native and immig raat population-including the Chinese-a grest demand· has „, arisen in recent years for educa- tional facilities, which may now be found even in the remotest: mountain villages. The informe- tion given in these essays points to much progressive activity on the part of the natives, and the Government has been induced to make changes in the system of Covernment ae a concession to the progressive tendencies of the community. Especially is this the case with regard to the judiciary. Important constitutional reforms are also under consideration and. [in fact, a "Dicentralisation Law'
passed in 1913 was a distinct step towards self-government for the islanda. But this is a matter in which festina lente must be the motto. The Minister for the Co- lonies has already submitted tɔ the Second Chamber of the Datch Parliament proposals for the ins titation of a Colonial Council to be composed of representatives of the Inhabitants of the Colony appointed partly by election und partly nominated by the Gaver- ror-General. Altogether one derives from theee essays the im- pression that good general pro- aress is being made in the Datch East Indies in all directions economic, social and political.

How Germany Developed Her Industries.
As there can be no question of the fact-unpleasant as it may be to business men of other nations -ibat Germany's rise in the". commercial world was astound- ingly rapid during the past two decades, it is much more profit- able to inquire into the causes. that contributed to that develop ment than to worry over it. The: causes do not lie ary deeper than anything Teutonio, and, there- fore, can be easily explained. Briefly they are to be found in the fact that the leaders of our enemy not only believed in bat adopted a thorugh and widely- diffused technical education as s preliminary ground-work for those about to enter into commeroist pursuits. The branchesofindustry in which Germany acquired a dominant position are those in which advanced applications of science are most necessary. In a report on the subject, which appeared in Home papers, if was stated that the British en- gineering industry would derive incalculable benefit from an increase in number of highly- trained experts, and then be able to dispense with the services of Germans, who had to be employed for lack of qualified Englishmen.
