TRAINING COURSES For the first time, courses in home demonstration work will be offered this summer in the curricu-i lum of the Winthrop College Sum- j mer School. Much serious thought and thorough preparation have I tVirwo rmirSOS bv Miss UUCI1 wv Christine N. Souht, State Home I Demonstration Agent, and her as-! sistants^ There are three of these courses, j one in Food Conservation, one in Methods, and the other in Practice.) In the food conservation course the students will be given an oppor-1 tunity to gain practice in methods j or preserving foods. The course will furnish abundant practice in the best methods of canning, presei*v-j ing, pickling, jelly making, drying, : brining preservation of eggs and I any other methods of food preser- J vation that may become necessary. | The course in methods is for the! purpose of acquainting the student I who plans to become a county agent with the best methods of carrying! on field work including organizing! and conducting home demonstra- j tion, canning, and poultry clubs, conducting community, county and state fair exhibits. Instruction will be given by a successful trained field worker who can speak from practical experience of field prob* lems. The last of these courses will in-j elude the giving of demonstrations j of various kinds, which is a great ^ part of the demonstration agent's work. In this course the student will be given an opportunity to see riomrmst/rations made by the best demonstrators in the country, and j under expert supervision will be j given practice in teaching by doing and in presenting information gained in more or less technical courses in such a way that it appeals to the popular mind. Further in formation in regard ed to these courses may be obtained j from the Home Demonstration De- j partment of Winthrop College, j Those who are interested and wish to attend the Summer School for j these courses are asked to make ar-j rangements as soon as possible.

"What do you mean by wickets," inquired the reporter. "You see for years the rule has been at Due West that the young | men students must not fro into the grounds of the Woman's College' there except on special occasions. "So for years the custom has j been one under which a young man student having a spot somewhere for some girls at the Woman's College, would come up to the road and stand there until mayhap he would draw her attention. Then he : would bow and scrape and all that sort of thing?a most ridiculous : practice as carried out; but one which has been common at Due West for years. . "Here of late the boys have agreed to stop this sparking at long : range and it is understood that the authorities at the Woman's College have about agreed to more (: soirees, there by allowing the col lege lads opportunity to see the girls more often. "Yes, sir, they've cut out the ( wickets at Due West."?Yorkville 1 Enquirer. PRISON REFORM IN CHINA j' 1 Ijnder the new regime in China an earnest effort is being made to ' secure far-reaching reforms in the prisons. One of the difficulties reformers have had to meet, according to Dr. Yamei Kin, a Chinese woman physician now in this country, is the result of the fact that most of the present prison authorities have been trained in Japan. The Japanese training system being a purely military one, these Japanese-trained Chinese have naturally put their prisons on a military basis. "Our prison officials," the Boston Christian Science Monitor quotes Dr. Yamei as saying, "wear uniforms and go around clanking sabers and all the prisoners are required to salute them." Of course, the Japanese idea of neatness and disicpline are, we read, "a tremenJ""" on tTio P.Vll UUUO iinjjiuvcuivuw V?* vwv v.v. nese system, if it could be called a system."

Lii tary idea is quite foreign to the Chinese view of things and does not result in any wide reformative action, which should of course, be the outcome of any wisely devised prison system.'' To quote furthei from the article in the Christian Science Monitor: "In Tientsin, however, the Chinese have taken the matter in hand along lines much more in harmony with the Chinese character. A new prison has been built, where the prisoners are taught trades; where they are also taught to read and write, if they are illiterate, and where a definite effort is made tc send them out better citizens than when they came in. In the women's section, all the officials who conic into direct association with the prisoners are women; while the women prisoners themselves are taught weaving, sewing, tailoring, and the simpler varieties of em broidery. All the work done in this prison is useful work; moreover, it is work the results of which the prisoners are allowed to sec' for themselves, and ,in a measure, to enjoy. The women, for instance all make their own clothes and those of the men prisoners as well. "The Chinese in fact,it would appear, fully recognize the very excelent effect produced on prisoners as upon every one else, by the consciousness of doing useful work just as they, very rightly, distrust L"U~ /JicninlinQ QTI/I IITlifrtT.
