Chinese Pupils
Study Out Loud
That Chinese students CO

That chinese students con their
lessons aloud and stand with their
backs to the teacher while reciting
are phenomena upon which our elo-
mentary reading books and geogra-
phries have expatiated time out Of
mind These two peculiaritics of our
Oriental brothers are indeed the only
facts relating to Chinese school life
that many of us ever had clearly i'm
pressed upon us while we ourselves
were being put through the educa-
tionaI process.
AS to the reasons for these eccen&
tricities, however. both our books
and our teachers usually maintained
a discreet silence. We had vague
opinions of our own. Since the
Chinese lived on the other side of
the world. they did everything OPP
posite to us. out of sheer perversity
That was all there was to it.
AS a matter of fact, according to Il
highly intelligent Chinese in New
York. these seemingly wrong headed
methods result from purely practical
considerations. For centuries the
principal subject Of study in the
Chinese schools has been the National
classics, especially poetry. of which
every Chinese scholar worthy of the
name commits an astounding GUAM
tity to memory. AS Chinese poetry
is written to be sung or chanted. OBJ
viously the student can learn it cor
rectly only by repeating il aloud. In
that way the young Celestial trains
both eye and ear at the same time
and greatly facilitates the work of
memorizing.

usually take their pupils into their
own houses, where, of course, the

with special reference to the validity
of their adoption as well as of later
amendments. He is confident of his
ground and Lis brief may make his
tory. Among the questions that he
will press in his brief is tie validity
of Missouri's ratification of the nine
teenth amendment in view Of provi-
sions fundamentally affecting the
rights of Missouri as state and pro-
visions of its state constitution. He
will show that Missouri and other
states are, by reason of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments. sub
jected to a grossly unjust distribu-
ton of political power in derogation
of their inherent rights as states.
Mr.. Adriaans has been urbed by
Congressman and lawyers in private
life to print extra copies of his brief
for general use of those skilled and
interested in the constitutional ques-
tions raised. He will probably do this
and lawyers and the general public
can probably obtain them from at cost.

HARVEST HANDS NEEDED

Twenty-Five thousand harvest hands
are needed in Kansas and Northern
Oklahoma at once if the wheat crop of
that great grain belt is to be saved.
Warm weather has ripened the wheat
rapidly, Heavy rains in many sec
tions have kept the machines. out of
the fields until the grain was dead
ripe. This combination of seasonal
conditions has caused the harvesting
to be simultaneous over large part
OF the wheat belt so that men have
not been released from the southern
fields in Oklahoma in time to help the
Kansas farmer. The season is ten
days to two weeks further advanced
than at this time last year.

GETTING UP EARLY

To people who are accustomed to
Using before or with the sun, the
early morning hour is the finest time
of day. 1t has rich quality that no
other hour owns. 1t is then that the
new day is received fresh from the
Creator, clean, keen-cut and spark
ling as a jewel. The early morning
hour has a stiffness, a freshness, a
sweetness and a fragrance that are
all its own. To know what beauty is,
one must be up before sunrise and
witness the slow and stately approach
Of the day, the wonderful shifting of
colors in the east and the splendid sun
itself as it energies.
At no time do birds sing SO earnest
ly and joyously as in the morning.
We do not all react to the sights end
sounds of nature alike, but it is sad
hearted and mighty morose citizen
who can't feel some sort Of inspiration
by watching the wonderful sight of
the rising sun. We have reached the
hot summer months when a fellow
likes to get every minute of sleep
that he feels is coming to him. And
we don't blame him. But if you will
inquire Of the men who rise early you
will quickly find out that it is one good
emedy for being able to sleep sound

feeling fit and fine, and when darkness
comes sleep comes to them as natural
~ as could have been intended.
Don't take anyone's word for it, but

If it does not benefit you. Hard as it
may be at first to accustom yourself
to sacrificing whole hour of sleep in
the morning we honestly believe you
will find it paying investment. Just
