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.

CUT OUT THE _WICKETS
'They've cut the wickets," said a
seminary student.
"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

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"""

system." Nevertheless, "the miliwmmmmmmmmm

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
