Missionary, Tells Of
Work

To Go To Mission
Fields

paving MnrVVllIe an0 bNunt county
a two weeks' visit. MIR. Hope, 6
member of the class of '06 is now
one of Marvville's most distinguish
ed alumni, and one of the most
successful, and best known mission
aries in the world. 1t is with
genuine pleasure that his Alma
Mater greets him.
Mr.. Hope is great man, and a
great missionary. Within seven
years he has established. and put
on a firm basis well-known in
dustrial school at Flat. He started
the school without any capital ex-
cept his personal security. During
his seven years he has received
English, and American donations
to the amount of about "a 900. The
plant now is worth more than
S13, 900. In other words he has
cleared nearly $4,000, which has
beer used to improve the mission
school. Mean while many hundreds
of the African youth have received
his instruction. In America our
private institutions are supported
by endowment, but MI, Hope in
the interior of Africa. connected
with the coast by a road little better
than a trail, among the naked Ru'u,
has established and maintained this
school and at the same time cIearo d
$4,000 to further the work. No
words of praise or eulogy can be
amiss, when applied to a man of
such wonderful ability and unselfsh
devotion to cause, out of which
he expects no material gain for
himself.
About 700 came out on last Tues
dav to hear Mr.. Hope tell of his
work. He used the stereoptican
method of presenting his data. The
pictures Of his work with a few
words of explanation kept the
audience interested for an hour
Mr.. Hopes work has received wide
recognition. One of the highest
officials of the German Empire
made a considerable journey to visit
the school. He told Mr.. Hope that
he intended to furnish room of his
palace with furniture made in this
school. Mr.. Hope spent the entire
week lecturing at Knoxville and
vicinity.
Three students have within the
last week announced their intention
of giving their lives to mission work.
These three are Chas. f. Silsby, of
the Junior Class, W. H. McCord,
and G. B. Fisher, both of the
Sophomore Class.
Mrs. Fred H Hope poke in
chapel last Thursday. She told
several interesting things about the
BuIu language after which, she
spoke Of the appalling lack Of home
life among these people.
Miss Caldwell is confined to her
room with lagrippe.
The y. M, C. A. and Y. W. c.
A, met in Joint session on last Sun,
day. Mrs, Hope addressed the
meeting.
A good game Of basket, ball was
witnessed on the home floor on last
Saturday. Our varsity met the
Knoxville Ramblers. The game
was fast one. The opposing team
made several long throws into the
basket. Our boys brought glory to
themselves by winning with d ma

WHAT IS MATTER
WITH FARM LIFE?
Reasons Why Boys and
Girls Quit the Coun-
try for Towns
Remedies Are Suggested
to Make Farm Life
More Attractive

What is wrong with farm life
Why do young men and womer
leave homes in the country, Otter
comfortable homes, to shape theil
own future, to work out their OWL
fortunes.
Much has been written on the
subject and many inquiries made
and Investigations conducted. In
general, the reasons that stand out
as most universal are three: First,
work on the farm involves much
drudgery; Second, the life on the
farm does not appeal az being inter-
esting-dces not provide the element
Of Cor f1ict, does not bring one in
contact with much of the world,
does not challenge ones intellect
and furnish incentive to struggle to
conquer; Third, life on the farm
is lonely.
These three reasons are inter-
dependent, because drudgery is in
voIved, farm life does not appeal as
interesting; because it is lonely, it
fails to"challenco, etc. But one or
more Of thlea Fundamental reasons
actuate most young people to leave
the farm.
THE REMEDIES
Alone with the discovery of the
causes have come many plans for
remedvingcon in the country.
SO that rural life NAV retain a fair
share of its youth and develop it to
the fullest nossinility. Drudgery
has been iIiminotpd hv hundreds of
inventions and labor saving devices.
Farm life has hpen made more inter

have been offering, apparently with

MAKES NO STATEMENT.
Executive Tells Committee He Was
Unable 10 See That Suffrage Flat
ed or Dissatisfied Them. .,s

Richmond, July 3O--A committee
from the Congressional Union the
new suffrage association which is
working for a Federal amendment
called on Governor Stuart yesterday
to find out what hia impressions were
concerning the effect Of woman suf-
fragc in California. The committee
had no difficulty in obtaining an in
terview with the Governor, having
previously assured his secretary,
Alexander Forward, that It had not
come to hecllle the chief executive,
or even to ask him his personal opin-
ions on the suffrage question.
Mrs. Percy ReeG, the spokesman,
stated the reason for coming, and
added: "We want to know what tho
Western women are like and if the
vote has changed them because they
are interested in our getting the vote
through Federal amendment and
arc helping US with the votes they al
ready have. Of course, though, we do
not expect you to compare Western
women and Virginia women, because
we know you are too loyal to the lat
ter. ."
The NEST that / could get said
the Governor. "as the result Of re-
peated inquiries, was that perhaps
there had been no material change
in conditions. though It is true tlla5
! ~as tod hv one cf the men that
one unworthy candidate in Los An
geles had been defeated for the City
Council by the women's vote. The
California people seem to be rot ut
ell dissatisfied with woman suffrage
nor were, they clated."
in reply to question from one Of
the suffl'agists as to whether ne had
heard mentioned any dasire :, 70 take
back the vote from the women, he
said: "No, not at all. THE Governor
said that, in his opinion, the West
ern women were very handsome,
able and"-with satisfied smile
Every attractive. He was particular
ly impressed with the ability of one
of the San Francisco women who was
a member Of the City Council.
He agreed with one of the conf
mttce members that it was hard 10

fragists very much pleased with their
reception. IN the party were Miss
Edith Hansche, from Washington, and

cy Reed, Mrs. Hill Urquart and Mrs.
