Koran Brought Up to Date.

II is not surprising that most of the
Arab population should be illlterate
since the language used In writing and
printing Is literary Arabic. the very
same I'm which the Koran was com
posed - centuries ago. 1t has been
preserved intact. while the spoken
tongue has gradually changed, as
spoken tongues will. Literary Arabic
today is about a. much like the an
cient language as Latin is like French.
Ninety per cent of the people do not
understand the language in which
the books are written.

Gold OUTPUT FAILING.

Gold production OF western Austria.
liza continues To show steady decline.
During the six months ended June 30
1910. The total Australian production
amounted "a 573.2TD fine ounces. OF
which western Australia furnished
41O,42S ounces. For the first six
months of 1913 the Australian produc-
tion was 641,91 ounces. the state Of
western Australia furnishing 443,9S
ounces. During the first six months
of 1917 the total production amounted
10 727 995 ounces. Of which amount
western Australia furnished 400, 466
ounces. II is stated that the cause Of
this decline Is increased working ex-
penSeS due 10 high wages and the high
cost OF machinery and materials. II
Is not expected that much. II any
Improvement can be looked for In the
immediate future.

But TO my mind, there Is a way to
spend a million dollars for the good
of Memphis, that would, in the flu
ture, help cover all these needs, and
that Is to help educate the poorer
children. Build a school for these
children who can not for many, many
reasons, attend the public schools OF
Memphis. Equip this school not only
with the staples Of a schoolropm, but
even with books, pencils and tablets.
Teach them cleanliness and home
making, and thus teach the parents.

but that in some OF these poor chill

politicians, ministers, or perhaps a

found among the educated fewer
heggars. Think of the good mil
lion dollars could do for Memphis IL
1t was used to educate the poor!
