SPLENDID RELIEF WORK

1T viii interest the readers OF the
'News' who contributed to the funds
for the relief Of famine sufferers in
China. to notice that the Red. Cross
society now announces that no more
contributions are needed for that pur-
pose. An official report from the Prov
lnce OF Kang sp, states that the fam
Inc has been broken and that the relief
supplies ON hand win be- sufficient to
carry the people over until the crops
can be harvested pn,lng the last
month the weather has been very far
voiable aud good yield is promised
About $4,000 IN cash and 500 600 worth
OF food have been sent from this coun-
try, and of this the Chinese in the
United states have contributed about
$4,000.
The consular reports give proni-
hence TO the faithful and efficient work
done by the foreign missionaries in the
stricken districts They have worked
necessarily, under difficult conditions
and. az far as known. without asking
for any temporal reward In many
Instances they have given the needy
people work on canals and improve
ments that will be OF permanent bene~
tit to the country. and at the same time
saved the lahorers and their families
from actual want. The famine was
chiefly caused by floods. and the inn
provements referred to have been un-
dertakeu with view TO preventing, as
far as possible damage by Hoods in
the future, This IS practical benevo-
lence. We are pleased 70 read common
dations bestowed upon the American
missionaries IN China.

1t is the business of the kidneys to

materials. They must be active all the

Our So.CalIed Free Schools.
Monroe News.l

To call our public schools free schools IS
misnomer; they are anything but free
and are growing more costly every year.
The fact is that the almost annual change
of text books with the ever increasing list
Of supplies the children have to provide
themselves, or rather be provided with,
threatens to defeat the purpose the system
was devised for-the education of all chill
dren. The man with the average number
of children and of moderate means is stag
gered at the demands upon him and the
very poor man is forced to keep his children
at home and see them deprived OF the cd
ucation the State owes them because he
cannot respond to the daily cry for money
for this, that and the other purpose. Many
children drop out of school during term
out of shame because their parents cannot
provide them with all the frills their more
fortunate mates are provided with. This
is an injustice both to the child and the
State and stop should be put to it. 1t is
extravaganza run riot. There Is but one
way to stop it that we know OF, and that is
for the State to furnish all the books and
other necessary equipment, It would be
idle to expect any retrenchment from the
present school authorities. They have
been educated that way and the evil has
become imbedded in the SYSTEMS part OF
the system. This would be hard on the
school book trust and the commission paid
teacher, but it would reach and cure the
trouble.
To make our public schools really free
public schools we must have free schoo
books. The system will not reach those
that stand most in need of it until this is
done.
