REDS ARE BUSY IN THE L
s. AND IN CHINA.

The National Republic devotes much
space in exposing the activities of the
revolutionary radicals in the United
States and China. In the current num-
ber this Washington periodical points
to the evidences of "red" activities in
various parts Of the world. 1t says:
The Moscow government is wag-
ing war on all non-communist govern
ments wherever opportunity offers to
undermine or overthrow existing in
stitutioTs. 1t is as relentless in its
warfare against governments which
have recognized Russia as against
those which have not. Soviet agita-
ton has much to do with the wars
waged against Spain and France in
northern Africa. The soviet ambas-
sador to China is active in trying to
convert Chinese opposition to Euro
pean and japanese aggressiOns into
general Eastern uprising against
not only Europe, but America, which
has always been China's best friend
and has jndulged in none of the prac-
tees which have rendered European
powers in China. What Russia seeks
in China IS of course not the welfare
Of China. but to use China as a pawn
in the worldwide communist game of
destroying civilization. Soviet SYM
pathizers in the United States are ac-
tive IN denouncing the attitude of
America against China and alleging
that the United States has imperial
istic designs in the Orient. These
statements are used by soviet repre-
sentatives in China as admission on
behalf Of this country that America is
playing the European game in the
Orient. The purpose of this team
work between the Moscow dictators
and their sympthizers in this coun-
try is to make serious trouble for the
United States not only in China but in
the Philippines"

meetings in progress in the auditor
ium and amphitheatre, there were
many groups numbering from three
or four to a dozen walking about the
Park.
The meeting was a forcible remin-
der of earlier years when the at

the utmost the accommodations af-
forded at the time. The dates for
next years meeting have been fixed
for July 1st to 10TH.
The Pittsburgh Epworth Leaguers
came in on Monday evening. The
number in attendance is approximate
ly 475-eXceeding the expected num-
Der by nearly a hundred. 1t is GER
tainly inspiring to see and hear these
young folks in the mass conventions
at the auditorium which is filled to
capacity at every meeting. The sing
ing and addresses are wonderful and
the messages bring to one who is in
terested many wonderful thoughts
that will be Of lasting benefit.
The Baltimore and Washington rep
resentatives of the Epworth League
win be here next Monday, the Pitts
burgh convention being brought to a
close on Sunday evening. The east
arn young people will number about
the same as those from Pittsburgh.
The Park is evidently taking on a
new lease of life and it is hoped that
everyone interested will be boosters
instead of knockers.
There still remain a number of cot
tages to be rented, but prospects are

SCHOOL COSTS AND LARGER
UNITS OF SUPPORT.

Schools, for rural as well as city
children, cost money if they are eff
cient, and the cost is increasing. The
increase is not due to extravaganza,
but to better standards, an increasing
number CT pupils to educate and to
increased offerings, that is, the in
PRODUCTION of additional subjects into
school courses. New responsibilities,
formerly assumed by other agencies,
are constantly being turned over to
the schools. City people generally
are better able to meet the increased
costs than are the farmers, but good
schools are just as necessary for the
children Of the rural districts as for
city children. Therefore, a way to
meet them must be found,
One way is that the State itself
from State moneys shall become a
larger contributor to schools within
its borders, especially to those dis
tricts which are too poor in tax val
uation 10 meet increasing costs. In
the past ten years as many as 25
States have made some sort. of pro-
vision for aid from State funds to
provide better schools for country
children.
The United States is apparently
not the only country which finds it
necessary to pool interests on a large
scale for the benefit of the children.
Recent reports from Manitoba, Can
ada, state that special provincial
grants" are made for the following
purposes: (D Adding to the salary
of qualified teachers who continue
teaching more than one year in the
same one-teacher school. (2) En-
couraging school consolidation. This
is done by direct aid to transporting
children to consolidated schools and
by providing a provincial bonus to
teachers in such schools. (3) PrOmot-
ing secondary education for country
children by payment of tuition
charges from provincial and other
public funds. Such payment is al
lowed for the education of children
living in school districts which do not
maintain high schools. All of the fore
going have been and are bing used in
number of our own States.
