THE SCHOOLS OF CHINA.

Never before in the history Of public education
has there been radical and far-reaching a revo-
luton lie any land as that which the Chinese En-
piTe is now experiencing We hardly con
ceiye what it would mean in our own country to
have the school system which has prevailed for
generations suddenly wiped out by national
law and replaced by wholly different system,
requiring new books and methods. That is
what is happening in China
Hitherto China has taught but little in it's
schools except the elements of education and the
sayings Of Confucius. Now the government is es-
taDlishing a compulsory system of modern educa-
tiCp, from the kindergarten grade to the univer-
sity. The plan involves not only the one hundred

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. S, 1914.

DEAR TOM Judge Speer will hold court at
L. Augusta and I presume when our case is
called on the docket it will be passed because of
the judges certificate of disqualification and then
the clerk District Attorney will have to for
mally request Judge Pardee to designate some
other judge to try this at a special term
There will be no need of our going to Augusta
under these circumstances. Judge Pardee is now
holding Circuit Court in Fort Worth and will be
in New Orleans from the third Monday in No
vember until Christmas. All the District Judges
are busy and their dockets are swelling every day
with bankruptcy cases. So I could not even guess
when we may expect time. With regards and
best wishes.

million children of school age There are also
to be night-schools for public officials, and mill
tary schools for the army.
TO meet the demands of the change, many
books are being imported from America and
Europe, printed in Chinese characters. AS several
hundred million books are needed, the demand
is far beyond the supply, and the printing-presses
at the mission stations and at the educational
centers are being worked as never before. Incl
dentally, the thrifty Japanese are furnishing
large part Of the books and supplies, well as
many of the teachers.
In other words, China is not only telling
her children they can come to school, but that
they mast!
Now, don't you think we might leave China
to educate her own young people?
The foreign missionaries and the interested
persons who support their un-Scriptural and
unnatural methods, are constantly pleading
with us for money to maintain American
schools in China.
In the Christian Inder of Nov 5, 1914. I
find it stated that we Baptists are maintain
ing in China the following costly institutions:
Hospitals, Printing presses, Boarding schools,
Industrial Institutes, Schools for the blind,
Schools for the deaf, Asylums for lepers,
Klndergartents for very young Chinese child
rem, Medical colleges, Primary schools, and
Colleges.
We Baptists have 5,144 missionaries in
China and 40 hospitals!
We have 3,708 primary schools, where we
give education to little Chinese.
We have Il orphanages, where we feed,
clothe and educate little Chinese.
We have 353 institutions for the Higher
Education of the Chinese youth!
Yet we only claim 1916 900 adherents, after
more than so years Of effort, the outlay Of
enormous sums Of money, and the education
of hundreds Of thousands of Chinese boys
and girls
No wonder Rev T. T. McCrea pleaded with
the Board to cut out the schools, colleges and
subsidized churches
No wonder Doctors Crawford, Milburn,
Carpenter, and Bauer-and dozens of other
faithful experimenters- denounced the
whole system to be mistaken and futile

Note the statement that "their dockets are
swelling every day with bankruptcy cases."
This is literally true Not since the Panic
Of 1907 have our people been in such fix.
Nearly every line Of business is demoralzed,
thousands of men are out Of work, merchants
are failing, and bankruptcies crowding the
dockets of the Federal Courts.
So much so that they haven't time to try
your Uncle T. E. W., and send him to the
penitentiary.
The knights of Columbus and Cardinal
Gibbons want to incarcerate your petitioner
because he published a portion of a Roman
Catholic religious" book
This religious book instructed the unmar-
ried priests how to crafty their own lasc-
vlous curiosity and strip Catholic women Of
their modesty by asking them nasty questions
IN the Confessional boxes.
/ suppose you saw where the Mexican pat
riots who ran the Spanish priests and their
women out of Mexico celebrated the
triumph by burning all the Confessional
boxes.
They had the best Of reasons for doing SO.
If some of those lecherous beasts who had
used religion as cloak to ruin Mexican wives
and daughters had been inside the boxes when
the boxes were burnt, retributive justice
would have been served.

of President Wilson that he use our Army
and Navy in behalf Of these Spanish priests.
President Wilson had better be careful how
he continues to cater to the Roman Catholic
vote. He had better heed the warning of the

tons.
My prediction is that President Wilson is
going to find Tumulty an increasingly heavy
load.
1t is an insult to every non Catholic in
America to keep that Jesuit spy in the White
House.
I also predict that Mr. Bryan will rue the
day he chose a Papal spy to be his private
secretary, and sent his son to be educated by
the Jesuits, instead Of placing him at the
University Of Virginia, or some other Pro
testant college,

TWO THOUSAND B.LiTFE2ATEs IN GOOD
COUNTY.
There are more than 2 600 illiterate children of
school age in DeKalb county out Of about l 0 900.
That should not be SO in a county like DeKalb.
Now that they known why not teach those
2,00O young people how to read and write if
they do not to be educated The recent
census tells exactly who these people are and
what precincts and organized campaign should
be made to teach them enough to make them ap-
preciate education.
In many States there are volunteer missionary
teachers who rely on the public for support go
into these lIiterate homes and teach the young
and the grown people how to read Can this not
be worked in DeKalb? Those illiterate people up
there good citizens and illiteracy is simply
inherited family habit in too many cases. Once
urged and started they will take much interest
in education as any youth in the State.
Is there no missionary teacher in DeKalb who
will undertake the work and appeal to the State
for the money necessary to support the teachers?
Brethren do not such facts as those make
your heart bleed?
The most pitiabIe sight on Gods green
EARTH today, is the wistful face Of the bright
boy or girl, standing outside the school
house, looking at the closed door, and wonder
ING why it never opens to them.
Talk about conserving the Yellowstone
Park, the Appalachian Park, the coa-felds,
the power-sites, and the Garden of the Gods?
What have we in this Republic that's more
precious than our children?
What power-sitcs and coal-felds possess
greater possibilities Of dpVelODmPnt than
these little minds that are choking with
weeds?
What Garden of the Gods ought to be more
jealousy guarded and tended than the intel
lects where the eternal lights were meant to
shine?

all the trees, and they will grow again-but
the generations of the children once lost, are
lost forever.

GRAND JURY REPRI-
MANDS s. W. STARR

The chief items of the report Of the
grand jury. the members of which were
yesterday dismissed by Judge Brad
shaw, of The Dalles, who is here hold
ing the sessions of the circuit court,
were a severe criticism of Attorney
Sam w. Stark, and recommendation
to the county court that sufficient
financial aid should be given officers to
secure evidence against any violations
Of the local option law. Attorney
Stark, according to the findings of the
grand jury, had offered to G. w. Mapes
the sum of $50 to not appear against a
client at recent justice court trial.
The grand jury stated that they found
no statute to cover the case, but the
report stated: ''We are of the opinion
that such conduct in an attorney of
this court demands most rigid investI-
cation and such action thereon as may
be proper by the State Bar Associa-
ton, district attorney. or both, in the
civil courts"
The report stated that the members
of the jury had had the hearty support
of the district attorney. Judge Derby,
in the investigation of all matters
brought to their attention, bit recon-
mended that the executive officers Of
the county, especially the county court,
make ample provisions by financial aid
in assisting the jury and peace officers.
The report, while stating that it was
thought that more shipments of liquor
had been received in the community
than was good for the health and
peace of the community, declared that
insufficient evidence for any indict-
ments had been received.
The grand jury found all county
Offices properly conducted and all coun-
ty property in good condition except
the Jail; in which it was recommended
that lavatory be placed.
The jury was composed of the fol-
lowing citizens: c. r. Bone, foreman
H. f. Goodlander, A. j. Graham, DIG.
Jackson. A. Overland, Howard W.
Pealer and J. w. Davis.
