A New College in Singapore

Many times the impression goes
out that the mission school or col
lege is of an inferior grade from a
scholastic standpoint. This idea will
receive a contradiction in the an
nouncement of the plans for a col
lege which is to be an enlargement of
the Anglo Chinese school in Singa-
pore. Wealthy Chinese merchants
have given $550,O00 cash, and prop
erty valued at $1,O00,000. None of
the givers are Christians, but they
are convinced of the value of the
work done by the Christian college.
AS soon as organization plans can be
put into action this school will rank
as one of the great schools of the
Orient and one of the splendid uni
versities Of the world. In scholastic
work it viii be absolutely of the
highest rank and a monument to the
deep interest Methodism has long
shown in education.

all of the 100 barrels of apples from
his orchard to the station in Middle
bury, about three miles away, making
five trips in all, in a total of five and
one-half hours. BY the horse and
wagon method, which MI. Witherell
had previously employed, it took 8
days to accomplish similar ship
