"Worship of Women" In Japan.

Official Japan acknowledges debt
to the United States. Her general ed
ucational system and the spirit behind
it are due to American inspiration.
American example, and the national
leaders recognized as far back as 1871
the fact that their people lacked supe-
rior institutions for higher female cul-
ture.
When intelligent and powerful Jap
aneSe statesmen discovered that Amer
lean women are educated treated with
lofty respect and regarded as the in
tellectual and moral equals of men they
made haste to import new ideas for the
improvement of training children. Five
young Japanese women visited this
country to observe our customs and
methods. and three remained to take a
course of study.
Japan has made wonderful progress
in the eduation of girls during the last
decade and her spokesmen and spokes-
women attributed this to the imported
western worship Of women" Eleven
years ago there We're $1,000 girls in the
schools of Japan; now there are 312,-
OOO During the same period the in
crease of boys attendance has been
only from $4,000 to 100000.

A wise editor says: "A man told us

all the things that happened. We
should say not. In the first place, there
Is somebody else depending on us for
a living. If we printed all that hap
pens we would soon be with the an
gels. In order to please the people we
must print only the nice things said
of them and leave the rest to gossip
Yet it's fact we don't publish all the
news IL we did wouldn't 1t make
spicy reading? But 1t would be for
one week only; the next week you
would read our obituary. All the
news Is all right when it's about the
other fellow"

Willard Hatch of Denver, on his way

made him prisoner. In spite of his
protests he was taken to a rear room

Food Products From Canals.

The thrifty Chinese can give the
United States a valuable lesson on the
utility of canals, according to the re-
port of United States Consul George +.
Anderson of HangchOw. The popular
American idea of Il canal as foul
ditch does not apply TO China. Says
Mr. Anderson:
Chinese canals. as rule. considering
the population upon them and their VA led
uses. are cleaner than canals in the Unit
ed States There are few if any factories
TO contamnate them. The Chlese use Of
certain sewage for fertilization also pre-
vents contamination to a great extent.
The quantity of fish taken from the
Chinese canals is immense The flood
ed rice fields bordering the canals serve
as hatcheries and hiding places for the
young fish. The muck from the bot
tom of the canals is gathered for fer
tiliZer, and the surface is skinned of
its plants and grasses. Reeds growing
along the banks are woven into bas-
kets and used for fuel Nothing goes
to waste.
The swamps abounding in the canal
region are cultivated for arroWroot. and
the eXpanse of water in rivers and
lakes not needed for navigation by
canal boats passing through is used for
growing water nuts. especially chest
nuts. Profitable duck farms also
abound along the Chinese canals.
