JANE Adams
.. SUMNER SCHOOL.
u q y
Affords city Working Girls an
Outing aud Combines Rec
reation and Study.
" U y
By Annette Crawford.


One of the many activities of Miss
Jane Adams of Huh House. Chicago,
in behalf of w0mankind and humanity
in general is summer school for girls
at Rockford, Ills. Through the courtesy
of the trustees of Rockford college the
chapel and dofmitories of that institu-
ton are used free of charge, and here
are gathered something more than 100
happy girls mostly Chicago girls
who work in one way or another and
are all the more appreciatiye of the adj
yantages of the school during the out
ing season.
Not for one minute is it to be imag-
ined this school, like the thousand and
one summer schools over the country,
is not for intellectual labor. 1t is
unique, on the other hand, In that
it combines a small amount of menta!
exercise, mostly along the lines of in
formal nature study. with maximum
of outdoor recreation.
At the same time the two requisites
of really ideal outing pleasure and
profit-are so interviewer that it is de-
lightfully difficult TO discover where
the play ends and the study begins. It
is a happy medium, what Is more, be-
tween the intense intellectually of the
summer studen. and the "unalloyed
laziness'' of the summer resorter.
Not only does it combine pleasure
and Improvement, but adds the comfort
ing fact that the cost of the outing is
merely nominal, that the free instruc-
ton on a little of everything under the
shining summer sun is by as clever a
lot of college girls as could be found
the country over.
The social part of Miss Adams sum
mer school also fiourishes. About every
other day some special scheme is sue
cessfully carried out. One day 1t is 2
''white baIl' in the gymnasium. when
every one on the floor is required to
dress In white costume, and another
day 1t is a picnic up the river. where
the coffee is made over campfire.
Once in awhile the small steamer IN
trolley car is secured for trip through
the town. These summer pleasures
are interspersed with hay rides. bicy-
Gle spins and whatever entereth into
the head of the summer girl.
Not the least interesting of this sum
mer scheme is the partly cooperative
housekeeping. AS the summer school
is in no sense charitable. each one pays
either So or $3.50 week for board
and room in the dormitory The ones

who only pay So are required to do
housework for one hour each day. This
one hour may be spent in drying
dishes. setting the table. shining the
silver or the like.
The cooking is done by a set of serv-
ants. but each member of the summer
school is expected to attend to her own
room. The ones who pay the addi
tional so cents are exempt only from
the one hours work. There is one part
of the work, however. each girl is re-
quired to do. That is to wait on the
table three days As eight sit at each
table. two wait on each table.
This housekeeping scheme seems all
the more attractive when it is under
stood that not only are all the bills-in-
Guiding food, gas, laundry and servants
paid out of these small weekly sums,
but usually has surplus Last season.
for instance, there was $245 left in the
exchequer, which was used to buy a
new set of library furniture for the
college.
Miss Adams idea In starting the
school was to have pleasant place
where the Hull House winter classes
could pursue their studies.
The sojourners at the summer school,
therefore. are for the most part people
who take advantage of social settle
ment courses of study. Though many
are breadwinners, including shop girls
and school teachers. considerable
part are social settlement residents or
persons who are particularly interested
in its aims.
AS Rockford college is the first insti-
tuition thus to open it's doors it deserves
great credit. particularly as it is not
heavily endowed and might consistent
ly guard Its buildings from unneces-
sary use. Some other colleges conduct
summer schools, but it is either for PEE
cuniary profit or to further the inter-
ests of their particular set of students.
So it may be said that Rockford col
lege stands unique in having taken the
initiative in making possible such
pleasant and instructive vacation for
those not connected with it.
Rockford's initiative furnishes good
example to hundreds of other women's
colleges, located conveniently near
large cities, which, by adopting this
"open door" policy. could aid thou
sands of girls in having pleasant and
inexpensive vacations, while giving
them opportunities for study and self
Improvement.

In Foula, one Of the Shetland islands,
the natives make a business of rearing
skau gulls in order to rid the island of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredations The mag
nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a IA
vorite haunt OF the eagles. and In this
inaccessible spot they increased SO
rapidly that they became a terror tc
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot. The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
yeterate foe of the eagle. In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious.
and so the inhabitants of Foula hit
upon the novel plan Of feeding and car
ing for the skau gulls, which, though
formidable to their feathcred enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought In contact with man.

A remarkable event occurred Mt

Of King had a son who made his IA

of the wild. rakish life he led He
gambled, loafed smoked opium, etc.
If he stole, his father would be taken
to the yamen, and the whole family
would suffer for the sons vlllainy, and
the vital question was. How could the
family be protected? At last they ar
rived at the conclusion that the only
way to protect the father and mother
was to take extreme measures with
the son. which they did with venge-
ance. The father and uncle took him
out among the graves, followed by a
crowd of curious neighbors and
friends, and, putting rope around
his neck, each relation pulled on an
end. and the son was put beyond ruin
