Speaking of the reckless habits of the modern tenant farmer, as an es- teemed contemporary does, with some alarm, what of the modern tenant householder? The cases of the tenant farmer and the tenant householder are almost parallel in some respects. The 6,000,000 or more farmers in this country who move from place to place, with the object of taking all they can get from the soil without replacing any of the nourishment which their crops draw out, closely re- semble, in purpose, the selfish flat dwellers who move at will, quitting a temporary abode as soon as they have disfigured it, to practice their knock- about way of living in some newer house. Most flat buildings and spartment houses soon grow old, from the battering of short-term tenants. As the people who pay rent have in- creased in. number, and grown more independent and careless, the quality of interior decorations has of neces- ity been cheapened. The result that ordina less beautiful, for beauty and comfort has deterior ated; which means that he cares 1 for home and the things that go with it. The nation loses something there, too, though the money loss may mot be comparable with that involved in the case of the slovenly farmer. is The Barefoot Season. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) There probably have heen hoys who did not care to g0 barefoot in sum- mer, but they could scarcely havs been real boy: Perhaps one remem- bers some companion of his own boy- hooa who preferred shod feet to bare at the season when young robins begin to fly, but he could scarcely have heen a real companion. two ideas are fatally antagonistic. Boyhood, late spring, bare feet—the combination is as natural as youth and love making. Footwear was not devised for the warm months in a temperate climate. Men and women would go barefoot, too, except for conventions, of which boyhood is hap- pily independent for a time. Of course, shoes and stockings must be endured as long as school keeps Sunday school even in mid-summer no .place to display bare toes and calves. And the occasional trip down town demands a conventional clothing of the lower extremities. But, take {t by and large, and speak- is The | | | ing of the period from the closing of school in June till its resumption in September, a boy's feet and legs are no place for shoes and stockings. They are a profanation of buoyant boyhood, tending to cramp develop- ment, mental and physical. And the wise boy understands this - perfeci- ly; it's off with the shoes at the first opportunity and the wise parent re- frains from enjoining the move. Some day, it is reasonable to sup- pose, orderly government will perish from the carth once more; the fall of Rome will be duplicated. And let some imaginative philosopher put this problem under his microscope: How large an influence will the un- naturally shod feet of the boys of that time wield in the result? 1In all conscience, how can nations pros- per if conditions make it increas- ingly difficult to go barefoot in sum- mer? City living makes the discarding of footwear more difficult. - It is an- other of the penalties attached to crowded urban life. Country roads and pastures and swimming holes are the fit associates for barefoot boyhood. But cven in cities going unshod in summer is by no means impossible or overly dangerous. Rural youth have a monopoly on so many forms of life- giving enjoyment; let them not have one on this, Here and now near the beginning of another harefoot season, let boy- hood once more resolve to have as little as necessary to do with shoes and stocking: O, Where (Pit Time w; hall Rest Be Found? burg Gazette-Times.) When a doctor said to a business man, “You need rest. Take an ocean Then you will be far away from every thought of busi- nes No me: not even the whole week voyage. ages daily can reach you, papers. For a you will be absolutely cut off from the world.”” Then came Marconi and his wirele: Forthwitn the big ocean ips had their daily newspapers and stock quota- Passengers received private 1ges from land at all hours of the and night. Men transacted busi- with their offices practically as 11 as if they were only detained at fiome for a few days and employing the telephone as a medium of com- munication. With the means of keep- ing in touch with affairs on shore, few busy men with large interests could refrain from making use of the agencies at hand. There was lit- tle difference between traveling on an ocean liner and staying a‘ a hotel. Now comes announcement fresh invasion of the steamship forces that properly belong on lana. The newest giant liner, due at New York before long, will introduce ocean vaudeville. The great “‘lounge” is to be converted into a theater seat- ing 1,600 and entertainment will be provided by a company. of artists from a London music hall. If the big of a by scheme proves successful, musical comedy and even grand opera may be given later. Of course the per- formances will not be free to passen- gers. The English theatrical mana- ger responsible for'the innovation in- | of timates that prices will range from $» | upward. He expects to draw much of his talent from stage folk traveling from one country to the other to fill engagements, although there will be some permanent members of the ocean company. Poor old tired business man! wh re he will, the vaudevillians stili pursue him. It may be sald that it he prefers seclusion, he can 8o to his bunk below. Theoretically he can, but in practice it doesn’t work ouu that way. If there's any fun a-going, he'll not be able to keep out of it. The modern ocean liner emphatically is not a rest cure. Go An Endowed Buddhist Monastery. (American Board.) In Ing-hok, a flourishing city of Fukien Province, China, the Ameri- can Board has had a mission station since 1864. Rew. Edward H. Smith, the missionary there, reports that throughout the district the hoard is being urged to take over the direc- tion of the public schools. “Already one village has given me the deeds of the local endowed Budd- hist monastery,” writes Mr. Smith, “and the proceeds are to be used perpetually for the support of a Christian school. The school is al- ready organized and thriving. ‘Our monastery’ will be one of our prob- lems for it is likely to the fore runner of many other similar pro- jects.” Another ys “The be letter from Ing-hok city E government is helpless in face of its educational problems.” The situation i so urgent that board’s workers are trying to arrange immediate plans for educational com- mittees in various centers, with the Christian preachers as presidents and principals of the schools; the to be subject to the course of and standards of examinations study used they are called co-operating the missionaries have authority pupils and curriculum as well as teachers. This is the second instance where the officials of a China province have turned to the American board mis- sionaries for help on the educational situation. In Sha further to the north, the American hoard has cepted the invitation to take charge of a government high school serving eight counties and to supervise the village primary schools, the govern- ment furnishing the buildings and equipment and making a money grant toward the work. Now, in Fukien Province, at least in the Ing-hok district, a similar con- dition seems likely to lead to a sim- flar action by government authorities The question is, can the board get the men and money to meet these tremendous oppdrtunities? over over | showed as soon 4 the | chools | to Lawyer From Chicago. (Buffalo Express.) The group at the club were telling strange adventures which they had encountered or heard about In various parts of the world. “But the most horrible experience of all,” said the baldheadea man, “is to be mired in a quicksand, feeling yourself sink inch by inch, deeper ana deeper, powerless to escape, While you watch a rising tide come rolling toward you.” The crowd all shuddered. “How did you finally get out?" asked the man with a dyed mus- tache. “Oh, it wasgn’'t I, but I saw whole thing,” replied baldhead was when 1 was with a the surveying party down on the coast of the gult | | of California.
