came to the Java home, her parents
names were changed, according to an

thereafter known by words that mean

Practical Peonage Enforced.
When Kechil went to work in the
sorting room of the big tea estate she
was scarcely five years of age. La
ever. The Dutch rulers of the East
Indies archipelago have a century-old
system Of impressment of labor which,
technically abolished In some islands
and for some purposes, exists in act
ual practise almost to peonage in dis
tricts Off the tourists beaten track.
Nowhere In the Dutch archipelago is
there child-labor law. Nowhere is
there compulsory school attendance.
Why seek to compel the attendance of
children at schools when there are not
schools enough provided to accom-
modate those who go voluntarily?
Why have a child-labor law when it
would interfere with the profits of the
Dutch-owned estates? The very idea
seemed ridiculous to the courteous
manager of the estate. AS for seud-
tng girls to school-bah! That might
do in Europe and Of course in Amer
ica, where he had heard they even
sent black girls to school, and did
other mad things. or possibly in Ba-
tavia and the big towns. but not in
the country districts, no, indeed.

merry laugh and chatter characteris-
tic of the Javanese. One evening the
overseer called Sina into his bunga-
low. She struggled, but of no avail.
Her father appealed to the magistrate,
but with no more success. The double
standard of justice exists in Java
one standard for the Europeans and an
other, save in a few notable cases, for
the native. Sina remained as house
keeper" in the overseer's bungalow,
her predecessor being no longer pleas
ing in the masters sight. She did not
return to the tea factory, nor did the
color return to her cheeks.
Kechils father and brothers, Jaw
anese Of intelligence and strength,
could relate, if they dared, stories Of
their own enforced labor which make
the Dutch islands in the Far East,
mistakenly called model colonies,
seem slave islands. Her father could
tell-and did tell, under pledge Of Sc
crecy as to his name-some things
from his own experience and others
from the common stock of native
knowledge.
Few more fertile countries are to be
found in all the world than Java It's
inhabitants are born farmers, skilled
in irrigation methods and with ex-
pert acquaintance with hydraulics,
and yet, living in land where the
richest harvests come with scarcely
