OUR CHILDREN'S MANNERS SHOCK TO
 CHINESE VISITORS

The members Of the T. M. c. A. PhiIosophic club had a very interest ing evening with the great phiios- ophers fof the Orient fast evening. s. J. Chuan, a native Chinese. of Yale. spoke to the club on Chinese pailC- sophy. Chinese philosophy he said, was making great advances in our western universities, and the name so long sacred to the Chinese students were co4ningsto have q deeper StgIlifi-. canoe for E11e occidental. although lit- tie success has been attained in at tenpts to light the dry moral phi losopf1y of Confticius with the fire of religaous fel-yor Confucius had made no attempts to deal with mans rela,- tions to God, but had confined himself entirely with mans relations to man
 The main strength of Confucfus lies in it's teaching about the home the relationship between parent ana child brother and brother, friend and friend were almost as ideal in ths teaching Of Confuc1us as in our own Christian ethics A1r Cl1uan con- trasted very strongly the attitude os American and Chinese children to their elders and parents. On the one side there was a respect and reverence almost akin to worship on the other, an frreverence and even r1deness which was a great shock to the visit ing Oriental.
 When asked by a member Of the club whether the American or Chinese syetem WAS best calculated to develop the mental and- moral sides of the child the lecturer confessed that he was unable to answer.

CHANIIKKAH-THE
 FEAST OF DEDICATION

One Of the most Interesting hoH- days in the Jewish calendar began on Saturday evening. December 12th.. cont ffnuing for eight days. It it known as Chanukkah, the Feast of Dedica.- ton, ana enough not observed by rpe-' ciAA ss1fz5ces in the EynagoEye, it is eagerly looked forward to by the chi1- dren Of Of the Jewish household, for it has in large measure come to be a chndrenss festival.
 The historical Background of the ce4sbration is found in the fact that in the year 155 B. c. Judas Maccabeus one of the few martial heroes in J sw- ash history. re-dedicated to the sea : vice of the One God, the Temple of Jerusalen after it's pollution by -Al1tiochus Epip fianes, who had set up in place of Gods altar, shrine to his hea1hen god Just three years af- ter this pollution, on the tWsnty-fifth day of the month of Kislev, tbe Tenn pie was reclaimed and re- -dedfcated to the service of God.
 Around the festival cluster many beautiful legends which have helped 10 shape the character Of the celebra- tiOn. One such legend is to the 6f- feet that when the Temple was re- dedicated only a. single cruse Of oil was found unpolluted, but through the miraculous intervention of God, this oil proved to be sufficient for burning for eight successive nights. and until other oil fit for the service might be prepared. For this reason, to tllsN days Jews light candles in their homes in celebration of Chanuk- kah for eight successive nights, one on the first night. tHo on the second. a11dzs6 on
 There Is a theory that even before the Ellstorical event which Chanuk- kah celebrates, the feast had been ob- served zby Jews as the beginning of &he winter so1stice, and that. it's origin is common with that of the Christian Christmas and the Roman Saturna1ia which occur at about the same season. and which are likewise ceIebEated by the lighting of lights and the interchange of gifts
 Among the Jews, Chanukkah is a 4inne for rejoicing not only on the part of the children. but as well on tn epart of poor, who are always lib- orally remembered.
 At the services to be held at the Park Avenue Temple Friday evening. December 18th, at 8 o'clock, the sub- 5ect Of the lecture by Rabbi David Levy will be .sChanukkah and the AEaccabean Spirit 7

SCHOOLS LIKE DENMARK'S
 FOR THE UNITED STATES


 That the Danish Folk high schools for sgrownups,' which have made possible the recent wonderful develop 1neaat in rural Denmark, can be suc- cesafu11y transpIanted in modified the United States Bureau of Educa- c1usion reached by H. w. Foght Of the United States Bureau Of EdUca- tion in bulletin just issued. MT. Foght has studied both the Danish schools and American rural conditions at first hand, and he believes that what the Folk high schools have done for rural civilization in Denmark they can do for the United States.
 The place to introduce the new type Of school is the region known as. the South Atlantic Highland. ac- cording to Mir. Foght. embracing all of West Virginia, AZ counties in west eru V4rgfniasi 23 in western North Carolina and n western South Car oIinAs 2B in northern Georgia; IT in norfEeaatern A1abarna 45 in eastern 1senuessees and 36 in eastern Ken lucky.

NATIONS HEALTH GOOD, IS REPORT OF SURGEON BLUE.

Washington. Dec. 16.-Po1lution of the Great Lakes and tributary rivers is becoming a serious menace to health, according to the annual report today Of Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the public health service. He points out that sixteen million passen- gers are carried each year over the Great Lakes and that more than l, 500 vessels use these waters.
 Tt becomes apparent, therefore y pr. Blue declares 'ttl1at these inland vessels play an important role in the. maintenance of the high typhoid fever rate in the United States.''
 It is recommended that water taken from the great lakes be purified be- fore used for drinking purposes.
 Dr. Blue details the work of the medical officers under him for the year in eradicating plague. fnvestigat- ing tuberculosis and making special inquiries into epidenics of typhoid fever and other diseases.
 Public health officers who examin- ed conditions relative to the effect on persons who come in contact with migratory consumptfves found little reason to believe that such contact has proved injurious. He points out again that investigation by American officials does not bear out the claim made by Dr. F. F. Friedmann for a specific for tuberculosis. Investiga- ton of the Won Ruck treatment for the same disease he announces, is tn- complete.
 Speaking of typhoid, Dr. Blue says that although ttS prevalence in this country is being gradually reduced and the rate is not more than one- half what it was 30 years ago, it is still higher than for some other ad- vanced countries. The urgent need need at present is for rural sanitation.
 Most American cities show an ap- preciation Of the way to deal with typhoid.
 Study of the use Of drugs in this country where anti-narcotio legislas- tfon has made statistics available pr. Blue says, leads to the belief that the estimate of drug users has been high and that the users Of morphine and opium in this country probably do not number more than 14o, o,000 while the number of cocaine users is probably very much lower"

DIR. ABBOTT, 79
 TO-DAY, SAYS DEFEAT
 WILL HELP GERMANY

Dr. Lyman Abbott, the distinguished editor of The Outlook, was born in Rexbury. Mass. seventy-nine years. ago today, Dec. IS, 1885. At first a lawyer, he abandoned that profession to enter the Congregational ministry, and held pastorates in Terre Haute. If1d and New York before he was cSiled to Plymouth church. Brooklyn, as the immediate successor of Henry
 Ward Beecher,< in 1888. For more than twenty years he has reached a labors and as editor-in-chief of The
 Outlook. Dr. Abbott attributes the
 present war to ..the selfishness and Esuspfcfon, the Jealousy and envy, of the so-ca1led Christian powers.' but above all other causes he places the amb1-
 ton of Prussia to dominate Europe The eminent editor has expressed the view that not more than a million of lGerInany's sixty-six million people really wanted war That the tail was
 able to wag the dog he alleges, was Iy all of the aristocracy and the tn- teuectua1 leaders of the empire ~But
 the military party having brought on the war" he adds, Germany will f71-
 evitab1y and naturally fight as a unit'' As to the results of the war, pr. Ab- hott wrote: ssThe victory of Germany would mean the victory of Prussian
 nilitarisn1. The defeat of Fermany will mean the defeat of Prussian n1i1-
 as a great industrial and educational
 power in the world and probably the
 practical overthrow of military auto cracy in all western Europe The defeat of Germany Dr. Abbott con-
 c1udes, will be it's sa1vation.''

enced by these schools, MT Fsoght is of the opinion that they are due to certain special causes that could easily be overcome in a real attempt to adapt the Folk high school to Amer lean life in the mountains
 'sThe Folk high school spirit has emaucipated the agricultural popu1a- ton of Denmark, z declares MT. FogFt .sIt has at least made country people the peers of their city breth- ren. They have become leaders in af- fairs in production, in distributi on, in politics, chiefly because they have learned to think for themselves and to act independently of the industrial classes.
 ss1n the United States there is great danger of going to the extreme in the Immediately practical and technical The work of special schools is in dan ger of focusing too much on making two blades of grass grow where one grew before, on teaching girls to cook and keep house according to sanitary regulations and the like.
 These things are all necessary and must be taught in the schools, but they are utterly insufficient to make us a really great agricultural nation. It was not the local agricultural schools and household , economies schools that primarily made Den mark a great scientific agricultural nation, but the Folk high schools. We need such schools in the United States; schools that would teach a greater love for the soil; that would help us to measure the good in life by spiritual standards and not by help us to rise above the Hn1itations of locality and state, and teach an un- 6ersfanding of the national and even l universal in the United States"
