Spanish Villagers
ClamOr for Schools

No less than $500 new schools have
been created by the Spanish Dictator
ship since 1924. Gen. Primo de Rivera
proposed to create 1000 schools every
year. At first the villages and towns
most in need Of schools showed little
enthusiasm and municipalities were re.
miss In sending in petitions to meet
their requirements. Persistent govern
mental propaganda, however, has had
its effects, and for the last two years
demends for schools have exceeded the
quota provided for in the budget. Thus
It would appear that an appetite Tor
education is being roused-one OF the
healthiest signs the Spanish nation has
shown in years. Also girls are waking
up to the possibilities OF self-earned In
dependence. Prier to 1915 there were
no female students at Madrid Univer-
Sity, but in that year so girls took ex.
aminations in philosophy, sciences and
pharmacy. Six years later the number
was S0S Today more than 5000
woman haudentS are matriculated IN
Spanish universities. The first woman
doctor appeared in Madrid in 1917.
There are 90 today.

Gloucester Impressed
By Japanese Children

The large number of children every
where-children who lined the streets OF
cities and villages through which he
passed, children who waved tiny Japa-
nese and British flags at him and chill
dren In beautiful kimonos-was the
thing which impressed the Duke OF
Gloucester more than anything else
during his recent stay in Japan. The
third SON Of King George Of England,
who came to Japan to invest the Em-
peror with the Order of the Garter.
England's highest decoration, spent Q
busy two weeks after the solemn cere-
mony was completed in seeing the by
ways and highways Of Japan. The royal
visitor had been told in advance Of the
great reconstruction work Of Toxic and
Yokohama, and he expected to see the
far-famed temples. For this reason,
probably, the crowds of children proved
the more impressive because he did not
expect to see them. He was enthusi-
aStically received in all parts OF the
country In one place he made himself
extremely popular by getting out Of his
car in & small country village and eTa-
tering a typical farmhouse, where he
conversed with the awed owner and hie
wife through an interpreter.

Age Average Near rs

The Free State is often complimen.ed
on its young cabinet minister's" and
these deserve all the credit. But too
much is made of their youth. They are
all more than IS, and their average age
is nearer As. But that is considered
young in Ireland. There are several
men and women well on in the seven
ties, and even in the eighties, who con-
tinue to discharge in the Dali and the
Senate and in many departments OF
business throughout the Free State very
active and valuable duties. The record
for an active old age Is held by Kath-
arine Plunket of Dundalk. She has
reached the age Of 100, and is still mem
tally as vigorous as ever. She Is an
enthusiastic gardener, and when con-
fined to her room superintends garden

Sun-Tan Seekers Fill
Famed Hawaiian Beaches

waikiki Beach In Hawaii has been
devoted this season principally to sup
plying deep coats of tan for SURVIVOR
shippers" Literally thousands Of persons
Pile, many tourists, have spent hours In
the sun gradually acquiring that
smooth, deep-brown effect which the
original Hawaiian inhabitants got with
out any trouble at all-being born with
Il.
It will always be a moot question
whether the craze for tan began in
Hawaii, and was carried to the rest Of
the world, or was brought to the is
lands with other modern improvements.
Some say that when Hawaii arSt be-
gan exporting ukuleles, palnl-and- neon
songs and champion swimmers, this
idea Of browning the epidermiS to a
rich chocolate was conveyed to Palm
Beach, Long Beach and Bar Hafbor.
Others equally well informed claim that
1t started over in the naughty French
resorts like Deauville and Cannes, and,
spreading westward, was caught by the
Americans and infected all the Amer
lean beaches and so-called watering
places.
This school of thought holds that the
residents Of Hawaii never went In de-
liberately for browning themselves until
visitors from Los Angeles and Atlantic
City came over to recline on the sands.

any that can be named for the begin
ming of the present Christian Church
The General Christian Convention OF
1850 was composed of accredited dele

the Christians had churches.
Both Congregationalists and Chris

been deeply interested in education
and have done their share toward
building up the system Of institutions
Of higher learning in the country. The
1irst institution of higher education
founded in America was Harvard Col

CongregationaliStS. They sought from
the first to carry into the college the
ideals and spirit which they had re-
