He seemed to understand me fully,
and when I pointed back In the d.

fully away, nor could bear to watch
him go; but resolutely set my face
toward Zodanga and with touch OF
heartsiekness approached her frown-

The Ptor brothers had given me ex-

of the city where could find living
accommodations and be near the offices
of the government agents TO whom
they had given me letters. My way
led to the central square or plaza,
which is characteristic of all Mar

As l was crossing the great square

magnificent architecture and the gor-
geOus scarlet vegetation which carpet
ed the broad lawns discovered a red
Marian walking briskly toward me
from one of the avenues. He paid
not the slightest attention to me, but

tered with the American Red Cross
and subject to call in emergency. In
addition to the nurses enrolled in the
Red Cross for Government Service,
the Red Cross itself employed a total
Of l,34S public health nurses in the
United States and in Europe. Ora
tiot County has not been tagging be-
hind in this most important matter
Of community health. The County
Chapter has secured the services Of
Miss Alderman as Red Cross nurse,
woman OF large training and long
experience, q conscientious worker
and perfectly reliable. Miss Acker-
man is already getting a firm hold
on the health situation in the county
and her influence is being very Wis
ably felt throughout Gratiot. Her
work is almost exclusively among the
country schools, for although Miss
Alderman lives in Ithaca, the County
seat, her work is entirely devoted to
the health interests of the whole
county.
The American Red Cross trained
147 blinded ex-service men at the Red
Cross Institute for the blind near
Baltimore, during the fiscal year
/ 1920-21.
Forty-three disasters, resulting in
the death in the United States of $50
/ persons and the injury Of $500 called
for emergency relief measures, and
the expenditure of 1871 600 by the
American Red Cross during the past
year. These disasters caused proper
ty damage estimated at S3O,000,O00,
affected siXty-seven communities and
rendered $4,000 families homeless.
The work of the Red Cross has been
great in America, but it has not been
confined to this country alone, for
other countries have been and are
now in great distress and pleading
aid. To help overcome conditions OF
acute distress in five famine stricken
provinces Of Northern China, where
millions Of persons were affected by
an unprecedented shortage Of food
the American Red Cross during the
last fiscal year spent more than ST.
100000. S1,OO0,OOO of which was
contributed directly by National
Headquarters and the remainder by
various groups interested in the wei
fare Of China. Through the wide re.
lief operations thus made possible il
is estimated that more than 100000
famine sufferers were saved from
starvation.

Medical care and clothing for thou
sands OF children in Central and
Eastern Europe are outlined as the
activities Of the American Red Cross
in Europe for the coming year, says
a statement on the eve Of the Annual
Roll Call of the organization. These
activities, supplemented to the feed
Ing operations Of the European Re-
lief Council Of which Herbert Hoover
is chairman. are Resigned to provide
the most adequate and balanced re-
lief within the resources Of private
philanthropy. Food, clothing anc
medical relief costing 100000 has
been provided by the American Red
Cross for the thousands of Russian
refugees stranded last year in Con
.stantinople and vicinity.
Fifty cents of every membership
doliar is retained in the Gratiot Coun-
ty Chapter treasury to carry on the
county relief and home service work
and to provide the necessary funds
TO continue the work of the public
health nurse IN the county.
1t is desired to make it clear to all
that this money is expended only fol
the county interests and under the di-
rection Of the Lake Division Head
quarters under whose supervision We
work. The County Chapter is under
strict orders to the Lake Division
Headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio, anc
must answer to them for everything
done in the county under the name OF
the Red Cross.

prosecution Of the wonderful work OF

PUBLIC WITH GREAT WORK
SCHOOLS ARE DOING.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 7-Michigan's
state department of public instruction
is rapidly developing into a free bu-
reau of education for every meritor-
ious organized movement in the state
as well rs for The public school sys-
tenn of the state. It's policy includes
taking the initiative i'm everything
that demands an educational pro-
gram. This is being done through
the schools and also by its active
participation in all civic and welfare
activities.
\ The latest of these is "American
Education Week." which is slated for
December 4 to 10. The purpose of
this weeks special work in schools
throughout the state is to acquaint
not alone the school children, but the
general public, with the great work
which the schools are actually doing
The week will be observed throughout
the United States, primarily under
the auspices Of the American Legion
and the National Education Associa-
ton. The state department Of public
instruction is urging Michigan to take
an active part in the weeks program
Thomas f. Johnson, state superin-
tendent of pubic instruction, in a
communication addressed to all the
teachers and community leaders, sug-
gests that a general committee be
? organized in each locality to make
this week of paramount value.

Although Michigan has been max
ing big strides in the betterment OF
its educational system and facilitie:
for that work, still it is pointed ou
that an emergency exists in educa
ton. This state now has a SO weel
school year in all the rural as wei
as city and village schools. That, to-
gether with provisions for profession
al training Of teachers, We're included
in the work of the 1921 Legislature
In fact more legislation for the ad
vance of education was enacted il
1921 than was placed on the statute
books of this state in a decade.
"Our schools must continue to b'
the great Americanizing agencies,
says Supt. Johnson in his communica
ton on American Education Week
"They must have suitable housing
1and other facilities and most import
ant of all they must have adequate
teaching stats. We are beginning t
pay our teachers and we must SCI
that they are well trained.
English is the language Of on
schools. Our flag is daily displaye'
in our schools. Our people have dom
much for education but they must b.
brought to a realization Of all tn
educational needs of Michigan. The.
must understand the good work thei
