WHY THEY LEAVE SCHOOL.

The majority of public school chill
dren leave school at the age of IA,
or as soon as the law no longer COM
pels their attendance, says Leslie's.
Economic pressure, it has been. gen
orally supposed, is largely RESPONSE
bic for this dropping off; but if our
largest city is at all typical of the
rest of the country, only about 20
per cent leave school because their
families actually need the little in
crease they could make in the weekly
income. The Vocational Guidance
conference of New York found also
in its Investigations that another 20
per cent abandoned their studies be-
cause their parents took it for granted
school was a place to be escaped from
as soon as possible, and the rest stop
ped either because they loved school
less or work more The report bears
out the opinion that children in Amer.
lea are permitted to do just about as
they please, even in such serious mat.
ters as their education. Illiteracy is
on the decrease, but the thirst foi
knowledge is not so keen as it shoulc
be. If parents themselves had great
er love for education, they might b.
able to inspire their children with =
desire to continue school life beyont
the grammar school period.

SIZE OF CHINESE
EMPIRE IN DOUBT

A large part of the great Chinese
empire has never been surveyed or
even explored. AS result all sorts
of varying estimates as to the size OF
China have been given. The last es-
innate gives about 400,000,000 square
miles of Chinese area. This size is
about 100000 miles larger than the
total area of our United States, and
while one of the eighteen provinces
Of Gina is several thousand square
miles smaller than our own state Of
Texas, yet within the borders Of this
Chinese province there have been
dwelling twenty times as many Chi
nese inhabitants as there are Ameri-
cans who dwell within our great state
of Texas. The size of our own state
of Indiana corresponds approximately
to the size of the very smallest of all
the Chinese eighteen provinces. There
are, however, over five times as many
Chinese dwelling within their native
provinces as there are Americans liv-
ing in our HOosier state. The ratio OF
five to one applies generally wher
making population comparisons be-
tween any locality of China and Amer
lea.
Usually wnen the Chinese empire il
referred to, what is meant is China
proper. This latter is composed oi
eighteen provinces. There are in ad
dition to this certain dependencies ol
