See EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES. NELIDOFF, ALEXANDER J. Russian Ambassador to France, died September 17, 1910. He was born in 1846 and was educated at the University of St. Petersburg. When only nineteen years of age he entered the diplomatic service. His first work of importance was as attaché of the Russian Foreign Office in St. Petersburg. He was placed in charge of a diplomatic mission to the Orient and his name appears as a signer of the treaty of San Stefano. For sixteen years subsequent to 1881 he was Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. In 1827 he was transferred to the Russian Embassy at Rome and remained there until he was assigned to Paris in 1903. He was a noted collector of Greek and Byzantine gold work and was one of the greatest connoisseurs of his day of that form of art. NELSON, ALEXANDER LOCKHART.

EDUCATION. The educational system is peculiar, in that the state encourages and subsidizes private elementary instruction rather than public; supplying the latter, however, in districts in which private instruction is lacking, through local taxation. Primary instruction is obligatory, and, in public schools, free. Schools in 1907-8: infant, 160 public (28,032 pupils) and 1025 private (97,819); primary, 3274 public (17,750 teachers, 563,187 pupils) and 1885 private (9773 and 316,088); schools for adult working people (not free), 302 (2364 and 31,375); middle-class schools, 89 (1437 and 14,071); universities, 4 (public), with 300 instructors and 3475 students (506 females). There are besides numerous special schools, and a private university with 180 students. Three-fifths of the population are members of the several Reformed churches; the remainder are Roman Catholics, with (1899) 103,988 Jews, of whom Amsterdam |
