ENDEAVOR TO KEEP
GIRL FROM CHINESE
CHILD FOUND IN DUNGEON is
TAKEN TO COURT
Missionaries Will Make Strong Efforts
to Prevent OrientaIs from Regair-
ing Possession Of Nine-Year-
Old Nah Ho

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-Mah
Ho, the 9-year-old girl who was res
Cued from a den in Chinatown, and
who is believed to be Alice Minto, the
daughter of unknown Italian parents,
appeared before Judge J. J. Won Nos
trand in the juvenile court today to
determine whether she will return to
the Presbyterian Chinese mission or to
the dungeon at "a Spofford alley, where
she has been held a prisoner for five
years past.
Nah Lin, an elderly Chinese who
rents the Spofford alley house, and Tun
See, his aged housekeeper claim the
girl upon the contention that there is
Chinese blood in her veins. Miss DON
aldina Cameron of the Presbyterian
mission, who assisted in the raid that
resulted in the discovery of the child,
came into court with an altogether diff
ferent account of Nah Hos history
According to the representations
made by Miss Camcton's attorneys,
Alice Mimic was given into the keep
ing of the Children's Home Finding
society when she was 4 years old by
her parents, who were destitute She
was twice entrusted to families and
twice returned to the society. which
finally turned her over to Miss VIII
liams of the salvation Army.
1t is alleged that Nah Lin and Tun
See made representations to Miss Will
lians that resulted in their obtaining
possession of the child. During her
STAY of five years in Chinatown the
child has forgotten all English man
ners and customs. She speaks nothing
but Chinese, and regards the light of
day as mystery.

He comments on the extraordinary
suddenness of the outbreak of the in

to remain. He snapped out that he
wouldn't do it," but l was down the
aisle near him and he stayed.
When the others were out I went
back to my seat and began to read,
and he began to eat and talk. The
talking was in an undertone, but loud
enough for me to hear, and was every
word aimed to make me angry, but
kept cool" Two minutes before call

"You may go now, Vergil." He snap

walked back to him with a magazine
and said, as l handed it to him, IF
you do not care to go, you may enjoy
looking at this" By the time l reach
ed my seat he had gone. He came in
a minute or two behind the others,
but sat down and began to study, and
kept at it all of that day, and the
next until noon, a thing he had never
enjoyed doing. Still l watched. The
next day at noon he followed me
across the road into the woods. He
looked very "sheepish" but said moth
ing more than answer my questions.
When almost back to the school house
he said, 'Mr. Lewis, am awful sorry
for the way / did yesterday" l lay
ed my hand on his shoulder and said,
THAT is all right, Vergil, l knew you
were out of sorts and scarcely knew
what you were doing"
From that day on he was a differ
ent boy in school, and think posi-
bly,, out. l could have whipped him
the first day but every stroke would
have put more passion and rebellion
into him and made him worse. / had

it will in the winter, and besides
there are the best of out of door

picnics, and all the fun of fall life.
No other term offers such a good
time.
And finally, for the student who is
going thru the year, the Fall Term
is the most important. In addition TO
all these things he gets good start.
And we all know what that means
1t will mean that he will only have
to spend a very small part of the
year in getting under way When
the Winter Term begins he will be
ready to make progress from the first
day-he will not have to spend any
time in getting acquainted, or catch
ing up or anything-he will be ready
TO go and GO fast

are all important. II you are plan

for that so long as he can have some

The "hotness" may come as the re-
suit of the class getting you in a

of your not being thoroughly master

1t may be NOISY day when ev-

worse. Just move slowly, talk calmly
and low, take some story and sit down

five or ten minutes. Or better, If
you are able, tell them story; for
while you do that you can have your
eyes on the children, a great help

IS IT WORTH WORKING FOR2

This is one of those practical ques-
tions which is sure, at some time or
other, to come to every ambitious and
energetic boy and girl, and demand
their attention and call for a decisive
answer. A word of suggestion from
one who has had an experience with
many young people, and has seen the
effects OF the answers that may be
made, is sometimes a help TO a decis-
ion and as such the following is Of
fered:
Nobody questions the value OF an
education up to a certain point. But
the time and the expense and the eff
fort required to complete a college
course is often looked upon as too
great to make 1t within reach. and
the question is dismissed without Sc
rious thought. But for the ambitious
boy and his parents the question will
not down" so easily.
1t does take time and effort and
money 10 obtain a College education
but the cost is not to be compared
with the advantages gained. Many
who have failed to secure 1t have
lived to regret 1t but the man or the
woman who has made the effort and
is sorry for it, is yet to be found.
This is surely a presumption in favor
of the College course.
The first benefit of the College
course is the education itself, The
mental training and the knowledge
which a well equipped college is able
to give is the most valuable capital
in the life of a man or a woman. II
is a capital which counts in life,
for places of leadership In all Occu-
pations are open only to those who
have mental training and breadth of
knowledge, and the demand for those
able to take positions of leadership in
various lines is rapidly increasing.
For the lawyer, the doctor and the
minister the value and necessity of
college education has always been
recognized. The positions of leader
ship are not now confined to these
three professions. Men and women
fitted to take positions Of trust that
demand a we'll trained mind and
breadth of knowledge greater than
can be secured in a common school
course or an academy are being
sought more and more. We live in an
age of remarkable development that
calls for trained men as no age of
past times has ever done The new
methods of agriculture calls for men
of training along scientific lines; the
organization of business calls for men
of trained mind, able to meet emer-
gencies and to set things in motion.
The vast projects in the lines of
construction calls for trained men.
Never was there such activity In
road building, both wagon and rail;
never was there such development of
mines of various kinds, as we find to-
day, and to do 1t all trained men are
needed. Attention to forestry and ir-
rigation has raised demand that is
not being filled and will constantly in
crease. Applied chemistry opens up
tempting fields for those able TO en-
ter them Various new lines In the
application of electricity to human
