Forty thousand menus ar 50 -Lyons' "Taking a bird's-eye view of presenteashops were only saved hom the cala- economic developments in Germany, one appearing with the mark of the censor

mity of withdrawal on August 25th by can hardly avoid the conclusion that a on the back page. formidable industrial machinery is being tuned up by reorganisation, preparatory to the biggest onslaught of modern times on the markets of the world."

This is the considered conclusion of a report published by the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association on the "financial and competitive posi. tion" of the electrical industry in Germany.

The report does not conEne itself to the electrical industry. "The development of the electrical industry in Germany," it states. has been so closely inter woven with general economic conditions that it is impossible to isolate this in- dustry and treat it in seclusion."

All the staple industries of Germany and their financial arrangements are, therefore, surveyed by the report.

Prosperity.

Germany's future prosperity under the Dawes plan is assured, according to the report. The wealth-producing capacity of Germany will be increased so greatly that the sum of £123,000,000 annually required for the (Dawes) scheme will be found from the national surplus?

Since the report, however, sees an im mense expansion in the world market for mactured goods, an additional £100,000,000 to £150.000,000 of goeds from Germany will be absorbed without dif culty.

"Germany, in fact, will pay her repara tions by exporting goods at low prices, made possible by the intensive reorgani- sation of her industries.'

The Davies plan will reduce the stan- dard of living in Germany, force de dation to a lower level than even now to encourage a surplus of exports, en courage a dumping policy on the part of German Arms, and cause a serious and permanent depression in the banie in-. dustries in Britain.

HARDER TESTS AT SCHOOL.

PROBLEMS FOR CHILDREN.

London, schoolchildren are said to be growing more clever, and examiners are finding it necessary to devise more and more difficult problems to tax their re- markable intelligence.

Sir Edmund Cosse stated in a speech recently that although he had been en- gaged in the study of English literature for sixty years he could not have passed a certain school literature examination. paper, because the examiner had put in unessential things.

London schoolchildren are growing cleverer," said an official of the London County Council to a Daily Expres re- presentative, and their intelligence sets the pace each year for the examination papers Many men could not Answer some of the questions given to boys of cleven, but it is by setting those dificult questions that the cream of intelligence among the London schoolchildren is dis- covered. The board of examiners know what children of eleven years ought to know, and accordingly set the papers."

Mr. Allen, editor of the Teacher's World, stated:--

"I agree with Sir Edmund Gosse that examination papers are full of unessen tial things, although I think that the papers set by the London County Council to draw the boys from the elementary to secondary schools are good tests of in telligence. As a rale, however. examing tion papers place too much importance en & comparatively unimportant factor a good memory."

The story of the censored" picture is a comedy of medical etiquette. A law, unknown to laymen had been broken, and three doctors, who hunched at a yons ten-shop, discovered the infraction. They saw an article by Sar William on The Athlete's Diet on the menu, illustrated by a portrait of the author.
