Gov- ernment organizes these village schools, and holds a certain supervision over them, contributing a percent- age of their cost, the balance being realized by a small tax upon the parents of the children attending them. Finland has an educational system quite distinct from the empire, supporting by local interest high schools in all the principal towns, and primary schools in every village. In St. Petersburg the common signs over and be- side the doors of the shops are pictorially illustrate...d, indicating the business within, these devices taking the place of lettered signs, which the common people could not read. Thus the butcher, tlie barber, the pastry-cook, and the shoemaker put out symbols of their trade of a character intelligible to the humblest understanding.
