From Our Own Correspondent, Paris, August 2. The Prince of Wales has finished his brief educational sojourn in France and returned to England accompanied by the unanimous good wishes of all with whom be has come in contact. His time has been very thoroughly employed, first of all in studying the French lange uage and lite re and then la gaining first-hond impr3.sias of the country and people. He has met the principal men of the Republic and made his bow to sneiety, he has seen the French fleet, he has made long motor tours and has visited such interesting cathedral cities as Amiens, Rheims and Rouen, to mention only afew. Hi plicity, afability and straightforwardness e everywhere nade the best posible impression.
As the "Journal des Debate" says: The Prince has charmed all who have had the honour of approaching him. He has displayed the keenest interest in everything connected with France and is sure to! carry away with him a correct impression of our country. We are particularly grateful to the Briti sovereign for having arranged hi eldest son's course of life in Pari so that he should become acquainted not merely with the superficial and amusing side of our existence hut with its serious aspect. It is not a matter of indifference that the future ruler of the British Empire should realize that France is not a decadent country, that Paris is not one huge casino, that the froth on the surface is largely due t foreign influences, and that the immense majority of the French are good people, industrious, faithful to their obligations, respectful of the independence of others and ready to make any sacrifice to safeguard their own." Whether the Prince has grasped all these facts is doubtful, seeing that he was invariably accompanied by at least one of his tutors and came into only the most superficial contact with the working classes. His political education has yet to come.
