They go from house to house, spread

offspring. If they find in the house any
children whose feet are undergoing the
terrible crushing process, they reason
with the parents. show them the evil Of

The opening game of the season was

association and the Athletic club. AL
though it was played as practice game,
it was characterized by snappy work
from start to finish. The men in both

play was qualification to their admir-

For the Y. NJ. c. A., Robinson. who
played guard, and Kendall at center,
and E. McGinnis at center and Captain
Sterry at guard for the Athletics were
favorites with the crowd. Striking fea-

ing surely, and to these plucky and de-
termined American girls belongs the
credit of beginning the revolutionary
movement on behalf of the down-trod-

Threats and persuasion have alike
failed to turn them from their purpose.
They have decided that the crippling Of
Chinese girls feet must stop. and their
missionary work in this direction 10

The latest plan of the Sisters Mac

by bringing the question before the
Chinese court and seeking to obtain roy
al support and. If possible. a royal de-
cree making the crushing Of Chinese
girls feet an offense that will be pun
ishable This Is the most difficult Of all
tasks that the missionaries have set
for themselves in connection with the
crusade. Others have tried It and failed.

AMERICAN GIRLS TO STOP CHINESE CRUfLTIfS
Sisters Mcgowan Missionaries in the Celestial Kingdom
Have Begun Crusade Against Foot Crushing

Annoy, China, Dec. 20. 1S97.-(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) 1t looks
very much as though that many centu-
ries old horror. the crushed and useless
foot of the Chinese woman of high de-
Kingdom. The women of China will
have to thank for this happy release
from a cruelty torturing custom the lit
tie band of self-sacrificing American
girls who are endeavoring to Christian
ize China. The most tireless workers in
the cause of their unhappy sex in this
country are the daughters of an earn
est American missionary named James
Mcgowan.
Mr.. Macgowan's interesting family
consists of six daughters, the four eldest
of whom have come to the firm deter
mination to change the barbaric fashion
that DEGREES tho crushing of the Chinese
woman's foot into shapeless mass of
flesh and bone, which, by some mockery
of reasoning, is here called beautiful.
AS is generally known, the crushing of
the Chinese girls foot begins in early
childhood. Almost as soon as the child
begins to walk the foot is bound so as
to contract it into the smallest possible
space, and is kept in these bandages, in
spite of the excruciating pain to the vic
tim. until the foot has ceased growing.
Then the bandages are removed and the
woman left to totter through life on
two stumps that make even hobbling
gait painful.
The daughters of Missionary Mac
gowan have started movement that Is
to revolutionize this ancient and hid
eous custom in the school where they
teach the Chinese the difference between
the worshipping of the Christians God
and the paying of homage to a joss of
wood and gold. The crusade is con-
Quoted on very much the same lines as
The herald., 1898-01-16

Is crusade against alcohol in America.
Every Chinese girl who comes into the
school signs a pledge, but instead OF 1t
being a pledge to let liquor alone. 1t is
solemn promise never to allow the feet
to be bound and crushed in accordance
with the Chinese custom.
1t is q herculean task that the girls
have set for themselves. for the Chinese
children cannot be made to see in mo-
ment that the ancient practice that ev-
cry girl is taught to believe makes her
superior being and one to be admired
above her fellows is really held in abhor-
renee and contempt by right-thinking
people, What matters little pain or in
convenience when, by undergoing 1t,
girl can possess the smallest feet in the
village and be considered an ideal
beauty?
But no pledge, no education, and so
the Chinese girls are given their choice
of two evils. Once they undertake to
refrain from foot binding they are firm
converts, for it takes little more reason
ing to show them how much better off
they are than their crippled sisters.
Then, in accordance with the first prin-
ciples of Christian teaching, they are
made missionaries in their turn and are
taught that the highest ambition of
their lives should be to persuade others
that the practice of foot binding is
horrible one and should be stamped out
with all the force of the feet ths ave
grown superior to time-worn per-
stitions and are as nature intended them
to be.
Just here the master stroke of the Sis
ters Mcgowan plays itself They have
formed what is known as the Anti-Foot
Binding society, and all the converts to
the new idea who evince an earnest de-
sire to work against the cruel custom are
enrolled as members, and attain to the
