French System Centralized
M. Auguste Descoes, a member of the national committee of universities in France, and M. Alain Foucart, a member of "Education in France", in the audition of central Administration for France.
In France, Mr. Descous said, there are three steps in education: Elementary, secondary and university course. The courses in the United States except that the secondary courses are slightly more advanced than the University period *of elementary education* is not at all practical, but serves the purpose principally to teach the basic concepts about things—to learn the “who” of everything. Fundamentals are emphasized rather than subjects which would aid the student in specialized work.
Entrance to the schools of Lycee to study for a period of seven years is necessary in the college to the universities. At the end of the seven years an examination must be passed for the baccalaureate, graduating students may enter the universities. Students not intending to enter the university must pass the national school. Students with the highest marks are allowed to enter the advanced schools of science, law, or medicine.

Eldridge Book Published
Mechanical Theory Not Proved States Author
Seba Eldrìkis, an associate professor of sociology, has just written a book that examines the development of modern biology. The book, "The Organization of Life," is a discussion of certain philosophical probabilities associated with the development of modern biology.
Professor Eldridge: attempts to show that the real questions pertaining to evolution are not those so badly thought of. But he says that science is unanimous in its verdict that the evolution of species is a fact. Rather, the questions are concerned with the processes and events that determine evolutionary changes.
Another problem discussed by Professor Eldridge is whether life can be reduced to physico-chemical processes. Writing in the Philosophical Review, Lanz credits the author with performing an important service to science in showing that the mechanical theory of life is still to be established. Other comments appeared in the Journal of Science and in Science.
Social dancing classes for both men and women are offered at the Oregon Agricultural College under the direction of the department of physical education. The course is chosen for the course is used at the end of the year for a big dance.
