CHINA FOXES FUN
AT THE SCHOLAR

 'By Earl Herbert Greasy. in World
 Outlook for February, 1919) The common people" got many a chu2fle out of the old type Chinese sc-olar-the type which in America Is guilty of hornrimmed specs and a mind above practical affairs. Satires about them abound in the folklore of China.
 Doctors were formerly divided int Two schools, the practitioners of in ternal and of external medicine. On one occasion a general was wounded with an arrow on the field of bat- tie, and hastily summoned the first ph! sician available to remove the arrow. He quickly cut it off even with the flesh, and then made his parting bow.
 Here" roared tHe general, what do you mean by leaving before you have finished looking after my wound
 T am a pro cttioner of external medicine, your eNceNency," was the reply, T have done all that is within my province, and you must now call in a doctor of the inside school to complete the job"

Parole.


 The parole board has had it's faith in the principle of the parole law more and more strengthened by en- larged experiences. The statistics of Its application will be found in detail in the warden's report so need not be duplicated here. It is sufficient to state that 84 22-1O0 per cent. of the men and women paroled have grati- fled the confidence of the board and started successfully on new and promising lease of life. The directors still believe that the parole privilege should be extended to life prisoners who have served twenty-five years provided, of course, that their con duct and mental attitude are such as to have excited the confidence of the prison officials
 It is still difficult to enforce the pa role law with that sense of justice and impartiality ich would obtain if the minimum z .dtence imposed b. the trial court repro ented the judg- ment of the court with reference to the enforced stay in prison of the criminal at the bar, thus not only making clear the required period Of expiation demanded of the offender

Very little has been said as to the
probable attitude Of the peace confer
ence toward the submarine. 1t seems
rather surprising that so far there has
been no agitation for It's absolute abo-
lition, says Philadelphia Record. There
are many who think the nations should
agree to scrap the tin devil fish. In the
control Of unprinclpled people it is a
potent instrument Of wrong, and no
decent fighters should be asked to sub
Ject themselves to the danger OF fright
full and ignominious death for the sake
Of It's doubtful rewards. The expert
ence Of British submarine which was
almost destroyed by depth bombs
dropped by q friendly destroyer, a
watchful American mistaking 1t for an
enemy U-boat, is enough to sicken
even stout hearts. Some agreement
surely can be reached to put out Of
commission such sOul-scaring, devilish
devices.

Newspapers and newspaper men are
sometimes accused Of failure to prac-
tice what they preach, but this can
never be said about the people who
work on the newspapers Of London,
England, says Winnipeg Free Press.
This striking fact in connection with
recruiting was mentioned In q recent
speech Of Sir Auckland Geddes: or
10000 men and boys employed by Lon
don newspaper offices 5000 Joined the
colorS, and at the moment Of the arms-
ticc being signed there were not thirty
men fit for general service In all the
London newspaper offices. That was
a record, said Sir Auckland which
placed the press ahead of every trade
group in the matter Of recruiting.

Bill introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf---The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
lines IS That of the Centenary
OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South Will SpenS Mil
hons Among the Uneducated.

Ihe fact that several thousand SOL
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own namos to their
missionaries brought to light a con.
dition so serious that two Southern
representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education Of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth Of America Sena.
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro.
duced bill in the Senate "to promote
the education Of illiterates, Of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng.
lish language, and other resident per.
sons Of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William b. Bankhead.
of Alabama.
The introduction Of this important
bill means great deal to the South,
which, because Of It's negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for illiteracy out Of proper
tion to that Of the rest OF the coun.
try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result Of the passage
Of the education Of illitcrates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas.
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment Of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Othcr organizations besides that of
the government are ut work on the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart Of tenement dis.
tricts and rural communities being a
matter Of first Importance with all of
them. One of the most significant
movements Of the times in this con.
nection Is that Of the Centenary Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within tho next five years over
100000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise a fund
Of $35,000,000 In an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being q
part Of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money Is be.
ing raised with view to putting the
work Of the church on business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters Of first Importance
which 1t should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result Of the
campaign will be the apportionment Of
$3,000000 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation, $750,000: immigrant, 5000, 900;
negroes, 100000; Indians, $3.50 900;
cotton mill population, 100000; Chris
tian literature for all OF them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur
thering the work among them. and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf, It is more than possible that
the illiteratcs OF the South are in
fair way to soon become educated citi.
gems OF the United States.

SAVING AS A HABIT.

Habit is stronger than prcccpt or
morality or prudence or almost any
thing. We get the habit OF doing GER
tain things, and go ahead, doing the
same things day after day, year after
year until the end, says Florida Times
Union. Something will break into our
routine and we may be forced to make
manages, but whatever we are required
20 do or desire to do and are allowed
TO do for a space Of time-more or less
becomes fixed in our systems and we
:ake pains and work hard to comply
with the impulse that comes at GER
tain time of day or week or minute
and keep up our habits. During the
war period we have gotten into the
habit of saving something. 1t may not
DC great amount or we may not save
1T every day, but once week or a
month we feel that some money must
nc put aside to pay for Liberty bonds
or War Savings stamps A great many
Of us have had real hard time trying
20 make the money we received buy
sufficient food for the family and some
Thing In the way Of clothing. But in
spite OF that we have saved little,
somehow, to pay our instalments, and
obligations made to the government
and for war work Of various kinds
have been met

ITALIAN TROOPS DISTRIBUTED
To Put Down Strike Disorders Through
out Italy

Rome, July II. tBy the Associated
Press. THE Italian government, Pre-
mier Nitti announced in the chamber of
deputies to-day, has taken ample meas
ures to preserve order in view of the
threat of general strike throughout
the country. Troops, he said, have been
distributed everywhere in cities and vii
lagos and in the country and they were
provided with supplies for more than As
hours, should they be cut off from their
bases
There is no reason for general
strike in Italy, the premier continued.
The government does not want blood
shed and will do its utmost TO prevent
it. Telegraph and wireless communica-
tion with every part of the kingdom is
assured, however in case of trouble.
Italy is the one country where a gem
eral strike should not occur, Signor Nit.
ii asserted. Bolshevism was an Asiatic
evil which could not spread to Italy,
The government, he said, does not
want to intervene in Russia because it
was bolsheyik for the same reason that
it did not intervene there when Russia
was under Czarism which had produced
as many crimes, injustices and mas
sacres as the present regime.
