These are facts which seam, to be, recoxf nised by the Administration. The attitude o Government toward its Civil Servants is largely one of compassion-of pity. It is hard enough for these poor, devils to be here at all it seems to any. It would be wicked to make things harder for them by expecting them to be useful. Accordingly, though the inability of the French Civil Servant to speak the vernaculars is universally admitted and almost as universally deplored, successive Governors-General bave drawn back dismayed from the proposal to make such studies com pulsory and promotion dependent on pro.. ficiency. Such action, it is thought, would be a cruelty a brutality, the adoption of methods ́oi barbarism.
