| The division of Agricultural instruction
is proceeding in manner that on the
whole is quite satisfactory. While there
has been slight falling off in numbers,
which is easily explained, the graduating
class in agriculture this year will be the
largest in the history of the college. Al

Importance of agriculture during the work

report for this course next year.

department during the current year has
been much increased by the emergency

Antiquity of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to so years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, it was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as a city until it became
the "City of David" king of Israel.
But with the discovery of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There We're found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century b. G. The name Of
this king Of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba,
or, as some scholars read the cunei-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send sol
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

BLOCK PRINTS
invention Is Credited to the CHI
nese in Year 5o2.
Books Not In Competition With Manu-.
scripts Until the Middle OF the
Tenth Century.

Printing from blocks is said to have
been invented in China in 592 A. D.,
during the enlightened reign of 1ank
Chen, the founder of the progressive
but short-lived Sui dynasty. Printed
books, however, asserts a writer in the
Oriental News and Comment, did not
compete With manuscripts until the
middle of the tenth century, From that
time block printing developed very rap
idly resulting in n great cheapening
and wide diffusion of books and the
consequent rapid decline of the copy
lists trade. No doubt the rapid dis
semination of learning this entailed
had much to do with the great intel
lectual progress made in China during
the Sung dynasty, from 960 to 1880 A.
D., which has been called the pro
tracted Augustan age of Chinese litera-
ture."
Disregarding the manuscript works
of the great Tang dynasty (61S-90T A.
d., which were doubtless. tenfold more
| numerous and more important than the
contemperaneous literary works of the
| whole western world, the printed books
Of the Sung Yuan and the early part
of the Ming dynaSties up to the middle
of the fifteenth century have no coun-
! terpart at all in Europe. They existed
in countless thousands OF volumes. In
1406 the Imperial Ming library con-
tanned printed works to the extent of
more than 100000 chuan (books) and
more than twice as many manuscripts,
and already many printed works of the
Sung dynasty had been lost during the
disorders incident to the ~protracted
wars With the Mongols. Undoubtedly
more books were printed in China than
In all the rest of the world up to the
middle of the seventeenth or the be
ginning of the eighteenth century.
The great bulk of Chinese works,
aside from the Confucian classics, is
historical or literary, the latter being
mostly essays, short poems, or cri,
tiques. There exists also a vast Bud
dhistic literature and very many Tao
list works.
Novels are not even classed as lit
erature, although famous ones eXis
and some of them have been translated
into European languages. There arr
also many famous dramas, some datin,
from the Yuan dynasty, but these, too
are excluded from literature proper b,
Chinese photographers. The historical
records of the Chinese are of vast bull
and represent Il conscientious an
] painstaking record OF the political ant
sociological experiences of the oldes
: civilized nation OF earth. In close col
n~ection with these records proper w
should consider the vast number O
geographic treatises and especially TIL
s~o-called gaZetteers. These latter ar
: official publications issued by the en-
pire, province, district, or eve tow
