Gals have shown wisdom in their
method of selecting the youths t. be
sent to the United States. This Sc
lection is not made haphazard or by
favor. A preparatory school will be
established in Peking where boys from
all over China can enter for a course
of training in the English language,
the customs, habits, laws, etc. of the
United States, and the most proficient
and apt will be selected for the west
ern education After the young men
have gone through their courses here
they will return to China and take q
part in her activities.
These young men are to be taught
specialties Medicine, law, agriculture.
forestry, mining chemistry, arcni-
lecture, physics, banking etc. will be
taken UP as their. aptitude for these
professions develops. 1t is proposed
also by the Chinese government to give
these youths, when they graduate. all
assistance possible in the way Of en-
ployment, so that the whole OF their
people may be benefited by what has
been learned

REVOLUTION IN CHINA.

There will soon arrive in this coun-
try forty Chinese boys to be educated
in American colleges and universities
at the expense of their home govern
ment. The tremendous significance of
this fact which appears in news cable
grams in the daily press. may not be
appreciated upon first reading. The
sending of these boys to America by
the Chinese government marks an
epoch in the history of that ancient
empire unsurpassed in the past 1000
years. One of the greatest revolutions
of the ages is now in progress in that
country-a revolution in the education
al system of China that means new
Thought ana enterprise. westernizing
of the most exclusive Of Oriental peo-
pies.
In this revolution the United States
is playing a leading part. The over
turning of the old system of learning
that monastic, difficult. caste educa-
tion-is being accomplished by the de-
cree and with the assistance of the
Chinese government, but the United
States has contributed practical sug.
gestions and pointed the way for adj
vance along the path of modern pro-
gress.

END OF THE WORLD.

The expectations that some day the
world will come to an end should not
be dismissed as an idle superstition.
The subject deserves more respectful
attention. Science as well as Hebrew
literature, affords grounds for believ-
ing that the earth will be destroyed
sooner or later. Just when the catas-
trophe will happen nobody except a
few fanatics pretend to know, nor is
the manager of it at all certain.
H. G. Wells, in one of his famous
speculations. foretells a time when
the workers of the world will dwell
underground The idlers will finger
upon the surface among the ruins of
our cities and will be butchered for
their flesh by the more energetic toll
ers as cattle are now. This pleasing
state of things will be followed by the
extinction of the sun and a general
freeze-up. Anatole France gives a
vivid description in THE Garden of
Epicurus" of the earth after life has
disappeared and everything is con-
gealed. Most spectators in fact agree
that we shall all be dead either by
starvation or cold long before the end
of the world. so that the final smash
up need not worry US a great deal. 1t

manly logic, that there was commend
able Qualification in physical comeli-
ness brought about by exercise good
health, cosmetics. massage and arts
which women practice as, part of the
feminine religion But it was held be-
yond this that the greater charm lay
in beauty of the other sort: that where
the former existed the latter supple
mented it beyond comparison and
where the former did not exist that
latter was a substitute that could be
made more than cOmpensating.
There is a homely realization of
truth expressed in this address which
the casual observer may appreciate
if he stops to think about his asso-
citation with women. It is often a
fact that within given circle of wo-
men acquaintances the most beautiful
of the group is not the most attractive;
the greatest faVorite is not the hand
soonest woman, but quite often one of
plain features and of only passable
physique-the cheerful good-tempered
animated and thoughtful of other
people sort The basis of this latter
type of beauty is the earnest enthusi-
asm to serve.
Whether it be in missionary work
or in the common. everyday aSSOcia-
tons that this enthusiasm to serve
becomes manifest, its resultant marks
of refinement are bound to become evi-
dent. AS a beautifieP, service has all
the marks behind it all the logic of
the handsOmenesS Of doing, which is
purifying ann ennobling. 1t portrays
in the face the very fiber of splendid
character. It is purity and gentleneSs,
and grace in the heart. which like the
perfume of rare flower breathes OUT
and bathes all the air about it in
sweetness. The world admires hand

/ beauty is based on the love!iness OF

is bound to occur, however Most
likely it will be brought to pass by the
earths crashing into the sun, but be-
fore that happens some wandering
planet may strike our sphere. In either
event all that would be left of man
and his world would be a small cloud
of family luminous vapor.
But let US not worry. The end of
the world is too far off to concern the
human race. Man will probably not
inhabft the planet when it comes; he
will have vanished with the kindly
conditions that give him life and earth
for many aeons will be, as Tennyson
tells US, "Childless and forlorn.''

because of the fact that both Pacific

By a recent decision of the faculty
of the college. Freshmen will not be
allowed to join any of the literary So
cietieS until after the second SemeS-
ter. At first it was thought that this
law would not permit Freshmen to en-
ter the tryout for collegiate
teams, as the tryout is always the
annual inter-society debate between
the Athenaeum and Phrenokosmian
literary societies, which is held Just
previous to the Christmas holidays.
It is now thought that the inter soci-
ETY. debate will be held as usual, but
the tryout feature will be taken from
it.
If present plans carry out, the try
outs for all college teams hereafter
Will be for all members of the institu-
ton whether members of any literary
society or not and will be held under

pointed by the college faculty to in

and at that time definite action will
be taken by the debate council.
