WITH FIVE SLAVE GIRLS / A Now Famous School For Girls Wjis Started in Cliina. Twenty years ago beside the swift yellow waters of the Yangtze was started a foreign school. The site chosen, a pleas;nit hilltop, like every desirable spot in China was covered with the grave mounds of long centuries. And, indeed, it was at no small trouble and i?sk that the "foreign devils" first cleared this ground, reburying the countless bones and fnAKlU^ lilUUItiai ccwwicuivuii n?w? squab ling descendants. For not only those had to be appeased who in true Chinese fashion, living only that they might pay homage to their dead ancestors, the sooner to become ancestors themselves, felt ho]*ror at disturbing this repose on the hillsides, but those who, scenting strings of "cash," suddenly discovered family ties among neglected skulls and with righteous fervor claimed their own. The ground finally prepared, buildings were built and a staff of teachers collected. ]2verything except one rather important factor?the pupils. Now, this school was a new venture, being not only a foreign school, an institution regarded more with animosity than favor, but also?unheard-of impudence!?a school for girls. The weeks lengthened into months and no girl students appeared. It became evident that the carefully prepared * * TUU,, banquet was to nave no gucsw?. nuy educate a girl, parents exclaimed, when she's good only to be married into another family. The situation required resourceful methods, and those adopted surely are unique in the annals of education. The American head teacher procured his beginning class of five by going out to the nearest slave market and buying them, five slave girls. This was twenty years s.go.?Scribner's Magazine. o The Womanly Woman imamMM (From the Ohio State Journal) In these times of rapidly shifting ideas and ideal.':, no changes have been more marked than those regarding the position of women. The war brought them new responsibilities and new occupations which they nave since been developing. It is no longer a surprise to hear that a woman is engaged in any honorable trade, business or profession. We look with equal equanimity upon policewomen, female street-car conductors, feminine judges or farmerettes. Changing ideals permit us to accept with calmness the ladies who, like Fannie Hurst and Mrs. Havelock Ellis, maintain establishments apart from their husbands. A suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution has come within one State of being ratified without causing half the uproar that was occasioned a generation ago by the announcement of a single suffrage lecture. Thus are we changed. But in one respect the popular ideal of feminity has not altered an inch since the days of Jane Austen, or Eve. This one ideal is as fixed as the everlasting hills. To be admirable a woman must be womanly. To her own sex she must be true. The recent advances of suffrage and other concessions to feminine freedom are, no doubt, to be largely atniDuiea 10 uie fact that the world is beginning to understand that, when women enlarge their mantal activities, they increase their womanly oual'tiea. But whenever for a moment the women forget this best and necessary ideal, whenever they step from their high estate of womanliness to adopt the manners of men, they instantly hinder their own cause. The early Suffragists made this mistake and lost by it. And now all the true f riends of suffrage are sorry to see some of their modern sisters falling into the same error. The Country Newspaper "After all, the country paper in reporting the wholesome life about, is doing that which is worth while, for the real America is outside' of the big, city. It is in the quiet country places and in the small towns where the strength of the nation is rooted, where its wealth is created, and where its most important and precious ideals are cherished. "These country papers must be true to country life, of which they are an important part, if they are to live and do work of the highest value. Their continued effort in behalf of community betterment is of more worth to the nation than all the ef forts of the big city papers that are devoted to the building up of great cities. Some one has said "God made the country, and man made the town," and if that be true, then God must certainly look kindly on the country papers which are devoted to the work of community betterment in the counTy and the small towns."?Merjlfcnnfs Magazine, a The Covnty ItJLrd Is $1.50 a year in advance - --Mi*?. y JlOOG I When a dc it pays for on Seasonal I If you will I will convince I your dollar.
