SCHOOL IN CHINA FOR THE
CHILDREN OF MISSIONARIES
NANKING CHR

NANKING, China. May 2.-The one
thing lacking in the mission scheme
Of China Is proper means OF giving chill
dren of the field workers the education
they would receive II they were in the
countries from which their parents come.
It is one OF the most trying problems
that these missionaries have to face
Generally speaking, they must send their
children away to be educated. back to
England or the United States. and this
separation is painful for there is none
too much comfort at the best. even when
a whole family is together.
OF the forty missionary societies whose
agents. numbering over 1000. are scat
tered throughout the vast Chinese en-
pre. only one, the great China Inland
Mission. founded by Hudson Taylor. has
esta blished a school for educating the
missionaries children. To the remain
ing societies belong some 300 agents ard
these are entirely without any provision
of the kind.
A scheme has recently been formulated
for establishing a school in the valley of
the mighty Yang-tse-kiang river. The
president OF Union Christian College.
Marking. Rev. F. E. Meigs. Is now trav-
cling In the interior in furtherance Of this
plan. The institution Ia to be interde-
nomlnational. and it will be designed on a
very extensive scale. so as to accommo-
date the children Of all the missionary
families in the empire. From the kin
dergarten to the college the grades will
be completely arranged.
The locale OF the great missionary
school will he admirably adapted to the
purpose in view. for the famous mount ain
health resort called Kuling. near kiu-
kiang has been selected. kuling Is nearly
500 miles from Shanghai, and is far in
land. This beautifully situated village Is
perched on picturesque heights. fully 1000
feet above Kiukiang. the flourishing treaty
rive port ten miles from the lovely Poy-
ang lake.
The whole district is fascinating n It.
physical features. and at kuling during
the last ten years fine sanatorium has
sprung into existence. in which there
are about $50 model houses, with never
less than 1000 foreigners at any time OF
the year. For purposes OF recuperation
Kuling has become the spot most appre-
ciated In China by foreigners. Being
in the province Of kianesi, It is situated
in the region wnere are cultivated the
most delicate teas.
Missionaries who can resort to Kuling
for their holidays each year take their
families there for several weeks. but
when the projected school Is completed
great anxiety concerning their children
will be removed. 1t is expected that
merchants living for years in China be-
longing to Europe and America will be
led to initiate similar scheme.

JACOB RuS PLEADS FOR

Jacob A. Riis OF New York, close friend
Of President Roosevelt and prominent in

One of the finest tributes paid to the
bishop-elect of Washington, Right Rev.
Charles Henry Brent, was that I'm the
speech OF Rev. DR.. c. Ernest Smith. rec
tor of ST Thomas Episcopal Church. be-
fore the Episcopal diocesan convention in
seconding the nomination OF the success
full candidate. Several Ciergymen had
been put before the convention by their
admirers. and several OF the local clergy
men had spoken for Bishop Brent DIR.
Smith attracted attention from the begin
ming of his remarks. When he finished
eral parts Of the church. but this was
checked by the presiding officer. 1t was
then said by many In attendance at the
session: THAT speech he's turned the
convention for Bishop Brent" DIR. Smith
said on that occasion:
II do not want to nominate any one.
but wish to say a word about one who
has already been nominated. Mr.. Thomas
Nelson PAGE has just read the uualifca-
lions of a bishop and there Is one strik-
ing one-that he shall be no novice. Of
all the men whose names have been put
in nomination there is only one OF whom
it can be said, He is no novice. That Is
Charles Henry Brent. Bishop Of the Phil
