LET those who think Christianity
is n spent force ponder the following
When Carey, the first protestant mis-
sionary Of the world, sent to India,
the whole number of nominal Chris
tians in the world was about 200
100000, Now there are 500,0O0,00o."
China's need of Christian teachers
is a hundred times greater than the
supply. Only one man in twenty can
read, and but one woman in a thous-
and. The dead hand OF the past,
which for four thousand years has
rested with such crushing weight on
the Chinese woman's mind, stiffling
aspiration and shutting out every OPP
portunity for mental development, is
at last being lifted, and her eagerness
for knowledge is pathetic beyond
words.
The principal Of a school in Nank-
ing writes: "One Of our little girls
recently asked to go home to have
her picture taken. She proudly show
ed me the result, which was a femi-
nine family gorup, with grandmother,
mother, three or more aunts and six
cousins. All had assumed an intellec-
tual expression and were posing be-
fore open books. Our little girl was
the only member of the group that
could read. The others only wanted
to-"
THAT picture stands for China's
women today. Every woman in Chi
ma wants to read. Our mission
schools have more applicants than we
can possibly accommodate"
DR.. Steiner tells the explanation he
got from an Italian laborer of his
reason for returning to America after

The federal department of agrl-
culture fecoilm ends that in place OF
a trip to Washington the young prize
winners OF the corn. GINNING and
poultry, and other agricultural c!uDS
be given year ) course in practlcat
training at omeEagfleul tura4 e9lt.eSer
In case theeyct1nE champion . 1cadedl-
ic training would not enable him to
enter the agricultural college OF his
state. q more elementary. course In a
school whore agricu lure is taught or
a course in an agricultural high
school, are recommended.
The department considers that
such courses have considerably more
lasting value for prize-winners and
for the agriculture of their sections
than flying trips TO the capital. The
state and local organizations which
have been paying for these trips
have been sincerely interested in de-
Veloping true appreciation of farm
ing as a business among the boy and
girl farmers. Some of these have al
ready considered this question and
have decided on the agricultural
course as the more desirable prize.
One OF the first persons 10 raise the
question as TO whether the practical
training or the more spectacular trip
was preferable, was Willie T. Brc|n'
an Arkansas corn club prize winner.
Given his choice OF all the prizes eli
fered by the state, including the trip
to Washington, ne selected scholar
ship giving him q years tuition IN an
agricultural school. This gave inn
petus 70 the tide In Arkansas and now
the biggest annual prize offered the
corn club boys is a scholarship given
by the Bankers Association. rhe
same association gives a similar
scholarship to the girl champion OF
the canning clubs.
While = years course with all eI-
penses paid is The suggestion OF the
department for the biggest prize tor
state winners. less extensive courses
might be offered to county winners.
1t has been suggested that such coun-
ties as care to give prizes, give one
or more short courses IN the state ag-
riculturaI and mechanical colleges 10
the fortunate county champions.
These courses are usually only two
weeks long and are held in winter or
in summer. The training given Is OF
the most practical sort, and the
amount OF time spent is 10 gauge OF
the amount of benefit 10 be obtained.
These short courses have already
been given as prizes by certain coun-
ties, and have proved most valuable
to the young people.
Large cash prizes are not to be
encouraged according TO those who
have worked with the young contes-
tants.

these statutes. IN regard to the elm
nation OF litigation arising from in
jurfes to workmen or their death, the
commission reports that In states
where compensation acts are in force
moi more than ten cases out OF 10000
have gone Into the courts. In the
opinion OF the commission. all EN-
.ployneats except domestic servants,
farm Iaborers and casual employ
ments should be included in the acts.
THE new New York state law does
not include all empIoyments, being
limited to the so-calIed hazardous oe-
equations, which are named in the
bill.
In view of this resume of the sit
uation, it is gratifying to West Viz
ginians to remember that their state
took a lead in this legislation and
that it thereby ig lided in Temain-
ing among those states OF the unsop
which are regarded as progressive. i

Nothing can be clearer than that
the Republican party must either
continue to be progressive, or it can
not continue as a formidable political
entity at all. Neither it nor the Pro
gressives can hope to win victories or
make history in real achievements of

division. Men mistake mulishness
for firmuess when they set themselves
against such concessions as are nee

most successful measures of a. pro-
gressive nature that have lately been
enacted is the working n2en's COM

in for a snare CT the praise that ac-
crues to this measure as it has what
is declared to he one OF the best of
these laws enacted in any of the
states, and the law is working out
with great success. It is q rotewor-
thy fact. in this connection, that the
Repu blican party fostered this meas
