The Washington herald., 1907-11-05

The natural desire for social intercourse
compelled radical changes in the habits Of
those who first settled this country. They
did not come one at a time and at long
intervals, as the pioneers Of other days
came. They came here and found them
selves all Of n sudden among many other
people, all total strangers. In the early
days great care had TO be taken in form
ing friendships, for there were adventur-
ers and refugees by the hundreds among
the hosts OF honest homeseekers. The old
circle of lifelong friends and the home
visits OF relatives We're things of the past.
A large majority Of those who settled in
the towns had heretofore lived on farms
Everything was new, and all must begin
over again.
The two things which brought about
friendships in those early DAYS were
membership in the same church or the
same secret organization. The men
found out their brethren and their wives
exchanged visits. BY and by these home
seekers began TO classify themselves.
There was no civil government except
that agreed upon between the citizens for
mutual protection. He who dared TO dis
obey these regulations was taught u les
son never 10 be forgotten. for the voice
of the people was the voice OF god OF
vengeance.

were always in the great majority. al

LOSS OF THE LAWSON
Captain Dow Tells Terrible Story o
 His Exnerience.

Hugh Town, Dec. 15.-George Allen of Bradford, England, who was one of the three survivors of the schooner Thomas ". Lawson, which capsized in Broad Sound, Sciily Islands, Friday night, died to-day.
 Captain Dow oI the Lawson told a terrible story to-day of his experience after being yashcd from the vessel When he found that his ship was driv- ing upon the rocks and nothing more could be done. he distributed life belts and ordered the men to save them selves if they could. He advised them to climb into the liggln. which they did, but the vessel soon broke up. He himself, had two hours of awful sus- pense while struggling in the boiling sea before he was thrown on the rocks, to which he was found clinging late in the afternoon; then another two hours of scrambling and crawling before he reached place of safety, where he found Engineer Rowe, All day long the two men crouched under the rocks with heavy seas breaking over them in danger every moment of being washed away.

EXPENSES AT OXFORD.
The Possibility of Their Reduc'
 ton.

An interesting discussion has been
 running in the columns of the London Times, to which Some Oxford tutors"
 have contributed, as to the feasibility
 of reducing expenses at Oxford, so as to make the road to learning more ca- pacious and less rough for the sons of artisans and others, who, having much to learn, are ex hypothesi anxious to learn. No fear is felt that the advent of poor men in large numbers would contaminate students of richer class,
 or in the end lower the intellectual standards of the university A notable occurrence in this connection was the conference of the workers education
 al association recently held in Oxford,
 which gathered from all parts of the
 country some 500 sons of artisans, who
 were struck by the fact that Oxford
 semed asleep half the year, and were
 also led to admire and even envy it's roonliness How you must be able to think in these big rooms!" exclaimed
 these city-bred workers. We have on-
 ly been here for week, and we feel
 ourselves bigger men" It is held by tho tutors above mentioned, however,
 that Oxford is no more 8 finishing school for labor than it is for capital
 or for fashion It is a finishing school for learning, and must maintain it's old traditions of culture. At the same
 time the feeling is growing that living expenses should be so reduced as to make practicable residential or coll
 legiate" education for q larger num- Der of aspiring young men The present educational ladder, unfortunately,
 transmits to Oxford a preponderane,f
 of rich students, who have set lf) an
 artificial standard of liviag with which
 many people are conten-, and which 1t | is therefore difficult to lower. It is felt | by Oxford men themselves that 10
 economies in Oxford nvmg will come
 fro. i agitation from within Pressure ''!hEst be applied either by tho pareats
 C! the men who cone now or hy tlie
 parents of those who would come now If taey could afford it Oxford is not q
 nlrre school of manners, nor just d 1 hpll of fashion an9 1t ls tiAae that residential education in Oxford, which l is not essentially or le2es il".'T eHpsn-
 sive. should be rid of these social eX-
 citecences and extlare as pccuniary | burdens with which q false sentiment

 of fatuous formality have overlaid it.

Rev. Francis T Brown gave an in teresting talk on The Perplexing Jap anese' at the First M. F. church last night. MT. Browns lecture was founded on facts which came. to his personal observation. during his re- cent trip in China and Japan Among other things MT. Brown spoke of par Aticularly was the lack of commercial

 e employment of Chinese in posi-
 % where tlfs was d necessity, as in the banks nearly all cashiers are Chi nese. The imitation of trade marks of other countries, which is prevalent among the Japanese, was another point. These conditions are doubtless partly due to the circuitous mental process in the Japanese which Is en- tlrely unlike any other race. The na- tives of this country speak English less easily than any others, and their literal transations of sentences are utterly meaningless.
 Having been rigidly trained in chiv- airy and duty to their country and the rules thereof, the commercial and bus mess methods have been neglected Then, too, there is grave lack of prop CT standards of social purity. Yoshf- wara being notorious for this partic' ular evil.
 Taking these two defects of nation, al character as proof of what Chris tianity has had to cope with the pro gress made among the natives is won. derful.
 The work of the Salvation Army ir changing these standards has beer very effective, and Christian ideals are effeCting the empire which were ab' solutely unknown.
