1t will doubtless surprise Amerl-
cans to learn that in many of the
interior cities OF China are civic I'm
provement associations whose OBJ.
jects are similar to those of such or
CARNATIONS in this country. The
most enlightened and public spirited
Chinese are banded together in those
associations for the purpose of pro-
noting education, sanitation and
the common good, and to suppress
graft and other forms Of political
4 corruption, all OF which sounds
familiar to American ears.
Fort best tine these organiza-
tieas OF the ehtnese ''best people"
are to be actively, enlisted in carry

Getting the Child to school.


Stringent child labor laws; the
payment of a child's transportation,
or even Of his board and lodging;
and the practice of hiring a child
away from his parents in order to
send him to school, are some of the
more remarkable measures adopted
during the year Just ended by a
number of states which are endeav-
oring to get every single child Of
school age into the school. These
measures are described by ]. G.
Boykin, editor of the United States
Bureau of Edncation. in a report is
sued for free distribution by the bn-
.reau.
In Michigan II poverty compels
child to work before completing his
common school education, the dis
trlet board OF education may pay the
parents as much as the circum-
stances require up to three dollars
a week. in order that they may place
their child, in school. In addition,
the child may be furnished with text
books free.
In many states, very often weak
schools over a considerable area are
consolidated into one strong school,
the state paying the parents or
others to bring in the children. Mr..
Boykin discusses this as follows:
"a variation from the usual pro
visions for. transportation is found
in the Minnesota law granting aid
to consolidated districts. The
school board of such districts is au-
thorized to pay reasonable amount
for board ,and. lodging in lieu of
Transportation of pupils living at a
distance from the school house. An
other. unusual development is the
South Dakota law, which provides
that when transportation is not fur
nished the school district shall pay
to the parents or guardians of pupils
living at a distance from the nearest
school house, as much as As cents a
day of actual school attendance.
"These two enactments are ex-
amples of the unexpected results
that sometimes follow new lines, Of
Legislation. In one case public
tuitionfunds not only furnish free
tuition with all that It implies, but
also pays part of the board and
lodging Of the pupil; in the other
case the parent is paid IN cash for
sending his child to school, for
there is no requirement that he shall
transport the child. In neither case
does the element of charity enter.
"other laws upon the general
subject of transportation were en-
acted during the year in California,
where pupils may be transported at
the cost Of the county to county high
schools; in Kansas. where any dis
trict board may provide transporta-
ton for pupils living more than two
and one-half miles from school; IN
Missouri, where the limit of distance
lis only one and one-half miles; in
New Hampshire, where school dis
tricts were authorized to purchase
necessary vehicles; in Pennsylvania,
where 1t is provided that no pupil
Of discontinued school shall be re.
lquired to walk more than a mile

little about his condition. one depart
ment head stated that Wanamaker
had been i'll with cold. for two weeks,
and confined to his room, but was bet

operation story.
From another source it was learned
that Wanamaker is suffering from II
nervous breakdown and two weeks
ago was seriously ill. Since then his
condition has improved and he was
said to be doing nicely" today. 1t is
probably untrue that an operation was
performed. When he became i'll, he
