years paid more or less attention to edu-
cational matters. Only lately, however, has
education been compulsory, the school age
being from 6 to Is.
Holland has four universities, with about
5000 students. 1t has twenty-nine CLASH
cal schools, with more than 1000 students,
and has academies and schools of all
classes. There Is a national academy of
art, a royal school of music, a horticultural
school and a national normal college for
drawing teachers as we'll as others for
training There are also night schools for
the working classes, industrial schools for
the women and in Amsterdam there is a
school for the training of women hemists.
In the fine arts academy at The Hague
there are eight different courses attended
by about 500 students and other art schools
in Amsterdam and elsewhere.
The Dutch have housekeeping schools for
girls. schools for butter making, fruit grow
ing, horse doctorint' and horseshoeing, and,
in short. schools for almost everything
under the sun. Lectures on agriculture are
given to the farmers at the expense of the
government, and in Utrecht the night
schools nave classes for carpenters, brick
layers. stonecutters, goldsmiths, sculptors,
painters and photographers.
Holland has also schools for the training
of boys who expect to enter the govern
ment service, and especially the service of
the colonies. In these schools the Ian
guages OF Sumatra, Java and others of the
East Indies are taught. The boys learn all
about the chief religions OF the natives,
they study their laws, their prejudices and
customs so that when they are sent out
to govern them they are able to do so in
diligently. l doubt, in fact, whether any
government service is so we'll educated and
so efficient as that of the Dutch East In
dies.
Take for instance a retired JaVanese off,
cial who was with me during this trip to
Delfshaven. AS we were riding back to
Rotterdam he told me that he spoke Ger
man., French and English as we'll as the
Dutch, and that he could write and speak
two Of the languages. OF Java. He had to
pass an examination in these languages
before he was sent out to the East Indies,
and this is the case with every man who
represents Holland in her Asiatic colonies.
like Rotterdam. 1t is one of the Quaint

the most business like. 1t is somewhat
like Venice, but more like Venice was in
the middle ages, in the height OF it's pros

or dock. 1t is cut up by canals, which lead
in and out through the Mas, and one

lean buildings. finding barges. launches and
sailing boats almost everywhere.
Along the Boomptes and in the. Islands of

abound. Venice is a town Of gondolas, Rot

this society also had the old aims box.
This old church has been used since the
Pilgrims left and IL is In use today. 1t
has seats for about 200 ~people-quaint oak
benches, with reading desks in front OF
them, upon which lie many Bibles. The
Bibles are in Dutch and they look as old
as the church itself. They are somewhat
like the "a kind sold by our itinerant book
agents, each containing the hymns as well
as the full text Of the Scriptures.
Underneath each bench Is a little square
5ox-like footstool with auger holes in the
top. These stools are the only heating ar
rangement of the church. Before service
the sexton puts a little pot CT glowing
charcoal or peat in each stool and the
women put their feet on the top of the
stools and thus keep them warm during
the long service. The peat must be wei!

ing one think that the church is on f,e.
When l went up into the pulpit l noticed
there were holes in its floor, and was told
that boxes OF burning charcoal or peat were
placed below 1t to keep the dominic hot.
The collections are taken up in little
black bags fastened to long poles, which
the elders carry about during each service.
There are always two collections, one for
the poor and the other for the church and
the elders. The elders have seats of honor,
not far from which is the pew of the par
son. The poor are given the poorest seats,
being showed away on benches behind the
preacher.
took a look at the records of the church,
some of which chronicle the leaving OF the
Pilgrims on July 20, 1920. and then wrote
my name in the signature book as all
Americans who honor the Pilgrim Fathers
and appreciate the hospitality of the Hol-
landers are requested to do-with a dona-
tion. I also gave the donation.
The Dutch are very much like other ma
lions as regards church going. They at
tend more regularly in the country than in
the city. The village churches are full in
the morning, and Notwithstanding the long
sermons the people usually sit out the
service. The first chapter is read by the
schoolmaster, and in some churches a part
OF the collection is given to the school
master. The offerings are more often cop
per than silver, and in the poorer villages
a cent is a common donation. The preach
ers are not well paid, especially where
they depend upon the people for their sal
aries.
The government gives certain yearly al
lowances to the different churches. The
Protestants. who are in the majority, get
a little over $500, 900 a year, the Roman
Catholics not half so much. and the Jews
only about $4,000. All religions are toler-
ated. but the royal family and the most of
the people belong to the Dutch Reformed
church, which is governed according to
Presbyterian methods.
Speaking of the schools. they are about
as good as any in Europe. The Dutch are
noted for their intelligence and learning
and the government has for almost 100

ABOUT THE LAND OFFICE.

ABOUT THE LAND OFFICE.
Within radius Of thirty miles
of Vinita more Cherokee citizens
reside than are contained in the
same area In any other portion OF
the nation. Considerably more
than one half the citizens of the
Cherokee nation live in the upper
three districts, Cooweescoowee,
Delaware and Saline. All census
returns and the rolls of Cherokees
in the hands of the Dawes Com
mission will more than bear out
this statement. A circle sixty
miles in circumference with Vinita
as the center will embrace not less
than twenty thousand Cherokee
citizens who will have business at
the land office, themselves, or
their parents, agents or guardians.
Vinita is more easily accessible on
account of two lines of railway
that cross here from the four
points Of the compass, and the
level. smooth country contiguous,
where travel by wagon is easier
than any other point in the Cher
okee country. The land Office is
already located here in commo-
dious and comfortable building
with safe vaults for the records,
and with ample Office facilities for
every branch of the work. A large
portion of the Cherokee people
who live in the upper country,
above and around Vinita. are not
able to make the journey through
the hills to Tahlequah. Those
who are able to make the trip will
have to abandon their crops and
incur great expense to reach the
land Office when it leaves Vinita.
There is every reason why the
land Office should remain at Vinita
1t least the balance of the present
year. The Dawes Commission es
timates that it will require not less
han three years at the rate of the
present filings to complete the al
otment. This is approximately
rue, and therefore it stands to
'eason that at least one third of
hat time should be given this Sec
ion of country. AS an act of SIM
lie justice the land Office ought to |
emain where it is at least the
est of the present year. The In.
erior Department should under
