OPINION OF A MISSIONARY
ON JAPAN AND AMERICA
CAssoeiated Press)

Chicago, Aug. 17.-America's pol
icy toward Japan is one of unfair and
un-C Christian discrimination. the Rev.
Dr. Frank Heron Smith, Methodist
missionary in Japan for Is years, de-
clared here recently as he left to re-
turn to the Orient.
"Just so long as we persist in our
attitude, just that long will there be
a dark cloud of possible trouble hang
ing in the Oriental sky" he added.
"The challenge of Japan is not a
challenge to fight. was sent to Am
erica by our mission and by the Japan
Methodist chuch to tell you that Japan
does not want war but a square deal. !"
DR.. Smith suggested that the solu-
tion of the question might lie "in the
decisive limitation of all immigration
and in requiring all who come to the
United States tc, become truly natur-
allied, honest-to-g goodness American
citizens japanese are now forbidden
naturalization.
The missionary intimated he en-
dorsed Japanese expansion in Man
churia and Siberia, movement which
has disturbed American thought 3Is
it not right, he asked, 'that Japan
should find outlet for her surplus pop
ulation in the vast open spaces of
Manchuria and Siberia? What has
Russia with her penal colonies and
her holsheviki ever done for Siberia
any way and by what right does she
hold it,"
The final remedy for all friction,
DR.. Smith said, will be in Christianiz-
ing Japan. He said the way for mis-
sionary effort was especially clear
there. aNo mission field treats mis-
sionaries as well as Japan treats u.s."
he said, "and no people love their
missionaries as the japanese love US.
The anti-American feeling does not
seriously interfere because the lead
ers of the Christie. movement today
are japanese arid because the Japa-
nese know that the American mis-
sionaries know them best and are
thus their best advocates

THE YELLOW PERIL"

Paris, Aug. 2.-Dr. A. F. Legendre,
a French writer on Chinese and Ash

travel and observation in the Far
East, warns the world in mis- latest
work that "Asia is at the white mans

ture, he says, is the "eyollow peril"

"Imperialistic Germanism and So

and German expansion, each toward

Russian buIwark against Asiatic IN

PLEA FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Editor Star: Permit me to offer
for publication a few thoughts rela-
tive to the much agitated Shady school
proposition.
Two articles, one pro and one con,
pertaining to this question have al
ready appeared in the Star, the first
of which, written by one of the loyal
patrons of the Shady school, was a
plea for a better school at that place.
And why not?
In replying to this the writer, it
seems to me. did not fully appreciate
the import of the former article.
The objects and aims Of those who
are working for a better school at
Shady are not "junior high" at the
first bound. but to consolidate two or
three little schools, which never can
hope to be more than they are at
present, into one and that at Shady,
naturally, as it is the central location
of the three communities.
We are weH aware of the fact that
a two-teachef school is all we could
hope to have the first year. and that
is what we are working for.
Then, as conditions permitted, and
prospects are bright for a not very
long waiting, additions could be made
until ten-grade school was estab-
lished at that center, followed by
train of blessings to young az old.
Is not the country community
where such favorable conditions OBJ
tain entitled to the sympathy and CO.
operation of all that should be inter-
ested in project of this kind?
In reply to the idea of conveying
our children from the country to city
schools, please answer how can we
instill and maintain that love of the
country, which is so sadly lacking IN
the majority of the people, in the
minds Of the children and young peo-
pie If we surround them with city
influences eight months of each year,
and that during the habit forming
peeriod of their lives? Is it not fact
that the one leprous spot eevry city is
infected with is the army of unem-
ployed and street loafers? May God
keep us from adding to their number.
Permit me to say in conclusion that
a good country school properly func-
tioning is the greatest eementing fac
tor a community can possess, for here
all nationalities and church ereeds
are brought together in one common
cause, viz: the educational welfare of
its young people.
Country schools have been more or
less neglected and ] plead for all
available sympathy and aid to put
them on a higher plane fear that
unIes sour people neglect to lay aside
all pet ambitions and pride and put
their shoulders to the wheel Of con-
solidation, opportunity to do so viii
take its fight never to return. Let's
work while it is waiting.
Much more could be said Of the ad-
vantages of such a school at Shady.
It would enhance land values. bring m
new settlers, for whom there is oceans
of room, and be a factor for social
development such as can never be
realized without it.
Respectfully yours for better eoun-
try schools, r. a. Mathe.
