〃Even　the　people　want　to　study。　Farmers　and　craftsmen　send　their

children　to　the　schools　in　these　small　towns　where　living　is　cheap。〃

This　rapid　spread　of　secondary　education　contributed　a　good　deal

towards　bringing　on　the　revolution。

form　any　idea　of　the　state　of　destruction　and　dilapidation　which　all

the　national　buildings　are　in。　No　repairs　have　been　made　since　the

reopening　of　the　schools；　everything　is　going　to　ruin。　。　。　。　Walls　are

down　and　the　floors　fallen　in。　To　preserve　the　pupils　from　the　risks

which　the　occupation　of　these　buildings　hourly　presents；　it　is

necessary　to　give　lessons　in　rooms　which　are　very　unhealthy　on　account

of　their　small　dimensions　and　dampness。　In　the　drawing…class　the

〃In　the　communal　schools　of　the　rural　districts；　the　fee　was　so　small

that　the　poorest　families　could　contribute　to　the　（teacher's）　salary。

Assessments　on　the　communal　property；　besides；　helped　almost

everywhere　in　providing　the　teacher　with　a　satisfactory　salary；　so

that　these　functions　were　sought　after　and　commonly　well　fulfilled。　。
