ONE-FOURTH WORLD'S
WOMEN IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent. Employees IL
Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom-
en- and Children WORKING
Twelve Hour Shifts.

One-fourth of the women IN the
world are Chinese-200.00o,O00 Of
them. They are going into industry
in large numbers to work long hours
and for little money.
In Shanghai, for instance, seventy
per cent. of the employees in the
cotton mills are women and children.
Working hours for spinners + from
six in the morning until six at night
and from six at night until six In the
morning. Viewers work from $50 in
the morning until seven at night and
the wages are from ten to twenty cents
a day. Hundreds of women arr en-
ployed in silk flature mills, standing
hour after hour washing cocoons In
basins of boiling water in the e1-
cessively hot rooms necessary for
apartments where fine silk is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 10000
women in factories at a maximum
wage of forty cents a day for women
and of fifteen cents a day for girls.
AS part Of its program of world
service for women the National Young
Women's Christian Association Is II
pecting to put on its staff of sec
retaries in China an expert on in
dustrial conditions who will develop
social work in factories, and work to
improve conditions for women en-
ployees. This work will include the
introduction Of recreation and social
life among the workers and of health
lectures and educational classes.

tanned in Shanghai.

The vast majority Of Chinese men
remember their mothers a cripplea.
Many a girl wanders into a mission
school who has not had her own feet
bound, but has never seen a woman
of her own class who could walk, and,
therefore, she walks in a most ungain-
ly fashion-scarcely conscious of her
natural feet.

nese physicians mostly graduates from
American and English Institutions
have asked the entire educated commu-

ma. All the Mission Boards operating
In China felt that one Of the greatest
contributions the Young Women's
Christian Association could offer to
the health of China would be to es.
tablish a normal school for the train
ing Of physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, which Is
the greatest port in China, the nation
al committee established such a school
in 1914. The school has won favor
with all educatlonists, both missionary
and government. There have already
been nine graduates from this school.
Miss Wing Mel Chun, q. graduate Of
the Wellesley School of Physical Edu-
cation, has been dean of the school.
Graduates Of the school are scattered
from Canton to Picking, teaching with
conspicuous success in twelve mission
and government schools.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

A few years ago anyone who adj
vocated vocational" training in
schools was considered a. raddist.
The majority of people did not then
know what the word meant. In a
few schools where they set up FORCES
and other simple equipment, the idea
was laughed to scorn by so-called
practical people,"
Yet this idea of vocational train
ing is rapidly spreading over the
country. Young men are TAX
ing courses in such trades as auto
mobile repairing, plumbing, machin-
lists work, tool making, electricity,
drafting, pattern making, ETC., and
young women are studying domestic
science, millinery, dressmaking, and
other crafts. In the country towns
the young people study agricultural
methods.
Some people say it is not the bus
mess of the schools to teach these
trades, which they can learn yhen
they begin to work. Yet those that
have this training will succeed so
much better, that the towns not hav-
ing these facilities will be forced to
add them, unless they want their
students to fall behind.
The young man without trade edu-
cation is likely to have TO do one
thing over and over again, so he new
er gets a general knowledge of his
trade. The one with the vocational
education knows his work thorough
ly, he has higher standards, and he
knows how to accomplish the most
in the least time.
Business interests are strongly in
favor of this form of school work.
They know it will add to their tax
es. But it will give them more eff
cient producers and help them build
up bigger businesses.
The town or state that provides
agricultural instruction in rural
schools, will turn out more successful
farmers than the one that doesn't.
A state that ags behind blocks the
way to its own agricultural pro,
gress.

WHY suRlEsoN IS CRITICISED

Since passing judgment on Mr.. Bur
Lesson is the fashion the Duluth
(Minn) Herald makes the following
observations:
Though it has not agreed with his
views on many issues, especially in
relation to his attitude toward labor
and social and industrial progress,
still the Herald is convinced that at
least three-fourths OF the venom
shown toward him now is because
he dared to stand out for govern
ment ownership of the wire service
which is to say that ne dared TO
put his conception of the public in
terest higher than the private inter
ests of those who own the wire SER
vice now. And that has been like
kicking over a hornets nest.
AS to that, while it is unauestion-
ably true that there is less public
sentiment for government ownership
of telegraph, telephone and railroads
than there was five years ago, there
will be more sentiment for it five
years hence than there is now. At
least half the opposition to it now
is due to propaganda of private CAPT
talism, OF which the hurrah against
BurlesOn is a part, and to the fact
that the railroad and wire service
men who have operated the railroad
and wire services under government
control have taken no pains whatev.
er to make government control pop-
ular If, indeed, they have not resort
ed to unscrupuIour devices to make
it unpopular.
Burleson is lonely now. penhaps:
and there is vast hue and cry
against him. He will have far more
company later on than he has now
in his stand on government owner
ship of utilities so vital to the public
welfare as those which deal with the
transmission of messages, just as
there will be more sentiment later
on for government ownership of rail
roads than there is now.
1t would be easier to fall in line
with the pack and help hound Bur
Lesson to his political grave if it were
not so plain that most of the cutlery
against him is because he refuses
TO think that there is something sa-
cred in private ownership which the
public interest is not important
enough to outweigh.

What can you say OF an organi-

your hat and salute it? Nothing too
good can be said of the W work over

workers, and for the most part these
workers came through like the he
