THE WORLD IN BALTIMORE.
Attendance Has Been Large Ever
Since the Exposition Opened.

All anticipatiOns concerning The World
in Baltimore Missionary Exposition have
been exceeded by the attendance which
has marked the enterprise since the
opening day, October 25th. Successful
as were the Boston and Cincinnati eX-
positions, the one now in progress in
Baltimore is more So both in point of
numbers of people entertained and in in
terest taken by those connected with
the city churches. Some indication of
the crowds which have marked the
special days can be gained from the fact
that at the special mass-meetlng for
children, Sunday, Nov. I'd, not only was
the Lyric theatre, auditorium and gal
leries, completely filled, but, after the
missionary play hall and the lecture
hall (the two accommodating perhaps six
hundred.people) had been filled, an open
air program was given to satisfy the
thousand or more people who clamored
for entrance which could not be granted
them.
There is a close race for supremacy in
popularity on the part of the exposition
hall, the pageant hall and the missionary
play hall. In the exposition hall the
exhibits of nations, with the hundred
or more daily demonstrations by stew
ards in costume, attract much attention.
But at 8 O'Clock in the afternoon and
o'clock in the evening, this attention
is transferred to a large degree to the
pageant hall, or Lyric auditorium, where
the Pageant of Darkness and Light is
given by cast of local talent which
now has reached a superb stage of
training. The pageant is a decidedly
majestic spectacle, carried out with the
dignity deserved bv its theme, its setting
and the accompanying music.
The missionary play hall is not behind
the others in claiming its share of pat
ronage, and its seating capacity of about
400 is tested almost daily. Perhaps the
most popular features of the play hall
are the two plays by Miss Helen L..
Wilcox, "The Pilgrimage" and 1.-Two
Thousand Miles for Book" and the
wonderful motion pictures of Mr. S. r.
Vinton, although the lesser plays and
the costume lectures are proving very
popular.

CHILDREN UNDER FOURTEEN
MUST GIVE UP POSITIONS
Under State Law Children Cannot BE
Employed.

A bulletin for October, issued by the
state bureau of statistics and informa-
ton, shows that the total number of
children dealt with IN that period was
495, which included permits issued, re-
! fused, duplicates, etc. The ages of the
, children run from II to Is years and the
character of work they are engaged at
comprises "a known lines.
children who apply for permits when
found to be mentally or physically de-
fective are reported by the bureau to
the visiting nurse association. Cases of
| poverty are reported to the charitable
societies and the children refused per-
mits because of the educational disabil-
ity are reported to the school attendance
department
The bureau is receiving sympathetic
and substantial cooperation from the
various agencies engaged in child well
fare work. The visiting nurse after
nine visits to an ignorant mother con
WINGED her that her child's eyes were in
a serious condition, and obtained the
needed treatment flor the boy; little
tubercular patient is saved from the
factory; child, deprived of her educa-
ton by the desertion of the father is
sent back to school, so that she NAV
pass the more difficult educational test
the new law demands. By such CO.
operation the bureau Is enabled to secure
trained service for the children refused
permits
I'm the adjustment of conditions to
new law some hardships must be ex-
pected. After December children will
not be allowed to work until they are IA
years old, and certain families among
the very poor will feel the pressure.
To meet the need fund for school pen
sions should be provided, giving the
wage of the child or portion of it to
the family until the coomic condition. of
the family improves or the child goes to
work.
This method was used with salts
factory results by the charitable soci-
cites when the school attendance law
went into effect in 1908. Within two
years general conditions have adjusted
themselves to the new law, even though
there is still occasionally a school pen
sion given in aggravated cases.
"A school pension or a child labor
pension fund should be raised to be ad-
ministered by the Maryland bureau of
statistics and information in co-opera-
ton with the charitable agencies in the
cities and counties. -
The reports are made by DR.. Frank A.
White, chief of the bureau, and Anna
Herkner, assistant chief.

KEEPING SCHOOLS UP TO STAND
ARD.

Illinois has adopted plan that may
appeal to.other states. Under it a stand
ard is set for the schools of but one
room. The schools are inspected as to
grounds, building, furnishings, heating,
ventilation. library, water supply, SAM
tation and qualifications of the teacher.
If the essentials of a good school are
found present diploma is granted the
district and plate is placed above the
door of the school house designating it
as standard School" Upon fulfill
ment of certain further requirements a
higher diploma will be issued, and the
plate will read Superior School,"
Already 657 of the TO-, 532 one-room
schoolhouse in Illinois have earned the
right to be called standard schools and
to display the plate accordingly
Illinois does not merely ask that the
schools be brought up TO the! standard;
the state tells how it can be done In a
bulletin sent to every teacher in the
State the requirements for a standard
school are set forth. Among the speci-
fications are: An ample playground,
good approaches to the school, conven-
lent fuel houses, the building sound, in
good repair and painted; improved heat
ing arrangements, a jacketed stove IN
the corner of the room instead of an I'M
protected stove in the center; floor and
interior of the building clean and tidy,
suitable desks for children of all ages
properly placed, a good collection of
juvenile books, maps and dictionaries; a
sanitary water supply, the school well
organized with regular attendance and
at least seven months schooling every
year, the teacher must have not less
than high school education, receive a
salary of at least $3.50 per annum and be
ranked by the county superintendent as
a good superior teacher.
