ARE HIGH SCHOOLS LuxuR1Ess


A statement was made at the state
teachers association meeting that IS
per cent Of the boys and girls OF Iowa
that attend school do not get beyond
the eighth grade. The statement
would, at first blush, seem quite i'm
probable and yet as we go into the
school statistics for the state there
appear to be grounds for the state
ment The percentage is too large.
More Of the boys and girls should take
advantage Of the higher grades in the
public schools and the new law that
permits the rural eighth grade pupil to
attend a city high school at the tuition
expense OF his district may remedy this
somewhat
However, II the percentage IL re-

of green coffee, then 1900 pounds OF

the stock is not very large. Further
down the line we find a complete stock

A setback for Christianity In J.p.,


Japan's recent attack Of nerves has
led to a policy of religious reaction.
This is not unnatural when it is con-
sidered that the plot to assassinate the
emperor. for which twelve Japanese
Socialists were executed last January.
was. in the japanese view, a crime
against the deity itself. For in Japan
the emperor is regarded as deity, d.
rectly descended from the sun goddess.
In the japanese mind Christianity and
dangerous teaching "the current
synonym for anarchy and socialism,
come from the west and therefore
must have some internal connection.
The fact remains" says Mr.. Will
liam T. Ellis in The Continent that
the japanese officials. hitherto tolerant
of all religions and not long ago con-
templating the adoption of christianity
as the national religion. as today do
ing all in their power to discredit it,
Their logic appears to run something
like this:
Christianity comes from the west:
Socialism comes from the west. There
fore they must have much in common
and both be dangerous. Prime Minis
ter Katsura himself has publicly spok-
en- of America as the source of the
anarchistic teachings which are troub-
ling Japan"

LOVE IN THE WOODS.

Mrs. Porter has done a good piece Of
work in this story Of the grower Of herbs
and seeds who, loving nature and his
dog. is lured from his happy content
ment TO the pursuit Of a dark-eyed girl
seen in a dream, a vision. perhaps, on a
softly smiling, gently charming day Of
awakening spring. The season has found
the man responsive The author loves
nature; she loves to write Of II, and does
il well; moreover, her love is convince
ingly showed by her hero. whom, she
confesses, she has endeavored to draw
after the poetic image Of Henry David
Thoreau. The girl is less convincing, the
story Of her winning. and Of her wooing
after she has been won. somewhat long
drawn out. This courtship after mar
rage IS we'll in keeping with the Har-
vester's idealistic temperament and his
high conception Of what love should be,
but IN the exposition Of all this the
woman becomes rather the authors
means TO an end than the girl OF the
Harvester's vision. Still, his is the
main figure in the book, and he makes
It worth the readers while.
