AS TO HOW CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN Industrial education and the dissipating of the child's energy and powers by the long list of subjects in the curricula even of the secondary schools is a subject upon which the comments are varied and contradictory. Why should the boy to whom "the lines have fallen in pleasant places" be taught to use his hands effectively? Why should the girl, irrespective of her social standing, be urged to ply the needle or concern herself with the art of cookery? The public school should be a place in which the latent powers of all sorts of individuals are allowed to develop. The child to whom books offer no strong appeal may find his place in life through his intraduction to the school shop. On the other hand, the lessons in patience, accuracy and perseverance learned by work with the hands cannot fail to be useful in any sphere which the future man or woman may elect to fill. HOW NOT TO GROW OLD A new star of hope, faint, indeed, and uncertain in its shining, has risen for the seeker of perpetual youth. It is not the magic fountain of Ponce de Leon that Metchnikoff has found, but a tiny though effective enemy of that bogey of us all, old age. According to Metchnikoff it is the presence of certain chemical substances in the large intestine which produces those ills attendant upon a fullness of days. The production of these poisons is arrested by sugar but, unfortunately sugar introduced into the alimentary canal is digested before reaching the seat of the trouble. The scientist claims to have solved the difficulty in the discovery of a certain organism whose natural habitat is the intestine of the dog but which harbors no objection to a change of residence and may be safely introduced into the human body. Other scientists are rather skeptical as to the value of the work of Metchnikoff and perhaps it will be just as well to continue in our efforts to grow old gracefully, but it will be interesting to follow the farther results of the experiments. HOW OLD ARE WE, ANYWAY? It is the common experience of participants in class reunions, or of anyone who returns after a few years to his alma mater, to be surprised at the extreme and tender youth of the student body of the institution. His amazement is in no wise destroyed or even lessened by the statistics produced by the registrar, which prove beyond a doubt that the average age of the student entering college is somewhat greater than it was a generation or so ago. The difference lies in the fact that whereas the sixteen-year-old applicant for admission looked upon himself as a man, and was so considered by his instructors, today it is only as a matter of tradition and custom that our college youths so denominate themselves. Certain it is that the burdens and responsibilities of manhood bear lightly, if at all, upon their athletic young shoulders. It is not only in student life that this change is observable, but in ill sorts and conditions of men and women the period of youth is extended. So marked is this characteristic of the race that biologists have formulated a rule to the effect that the older grows society, the longer the period of youth extends, while the unscientific among us remark: "A man is as old as he feels, and a woman is as young as she looks." DR. ELIOT ON EARLY MARRIAGE The Independent for November 7 prints in full the address of Dr. Eliot, ex-president of Harvard university, to the freshman class of that institution. The subject upon which Db. Eliot chose to speak, "Early Marriage" is rather an unusual one for such an occasion but the truths which it contains are so important and so applicable to every body of young people at the threshold of life that we venture to invite the attention of our readers to a small portion of its wisdom. After speaking of the tendency of young men to enter life with no well-formed plan, no well-defined idea of what they are going to aim at or what they hope to be, Dr. Eliot says: "In regard to your college life, that process of looking ahead begins now. Make a deliberate and far-seeing choice in accordance with your tastes and wishes, and your reasonable expectation of success and enjoyment. In the choice of your studies do not omit to take account of your own expectations of enjoyment in your work; because your satisfaction in life is going to depend largely on your enjoyment of your habitual labors." A profession chosen and the preparation for practising it completed, the young man is urged to "look ahead very sharply" to the most important event of his life which should then be imminent, marriage. To the argument that the young man beginning life has no right to invite the woman of his choice to give up the luxuries to which she has been accustomed in her father's home until he shall be able to earn an income sufficient to allow her to continue so to live, Dr. Eliot offers two remarks: "If a girl has been brought op in that manner, the sooner she has a chance to live differently the better for her; and it is only fair for a young man who loves a young woman to consult her as to whether or not she wishes to marry him before he can earn a large income." This looking ahead to marriage is recommended to the young man as a protection from evil doing; and a preparation for the greatest joys of life and the most lasting, the joy and satisfaction of earning the livelihood of wife and children and the broader interest in the improvement of the common lot of humanity for the sake of those children who are to live after him. Foreign Missions; MORE ABOUT THEM Pithy Discourse on Missions From the Bible Standpoint; Pastor Russell Claims Report of the International Bible Students' Association Committee of Which He Was Chairman Was Too Mild Rather Than Too Severe. Committee Unanimously Stand by the Report and Challenge Criticism. The Committee's Full Report Is Now Offered Free to All. Ottawa,Ont. Nov. 10. Pastor Russell as usual here had large audiences. We report one of his interesting discourses on the live subject of Foreign Missions which is stirring Christendom. His text was, "This Gospel of the =5' Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a wit- ness unto all nations; and then shall the End come." (Matt, xxiv, 14.) He said:- A year ago the International Bible Students Association sent a Commit- tee of Seven to investigate missionary prospects in foreign laudsâ€"especially In South India, where it is making spe- cial effort. 1 was one of that Com- mittee, otherwise composed of four successful business men, oue doctor, and General Hall, of the U. S. A. The Committee made its report to one of the largest Christian gatherings ever held In New York City-in the Hip- podromeâ€"on March 31st. Its Report, published In pamphlet form, reached a wide circulation amongst Christian people. I am authorised to offer free, until the supply is exhausted, one copy each to all Interested in Foreign Mis- sions. Send postcards addressed to "I. B. S. A.. Brooklyn, N. Y.." re- questing a copy of the Missionary Re- port. The Committee, in preparing this sReport, laid bare the facts as gently and kindly as possible. Their Report, which many Christian people gratefully acknowledged, has Irritated a few persona. These evi- dently feared that we have discredited their fairy tales respecting the immedi ate conversion of the world by human Instrumentality and more millions of money. We sympathize with these en- thusiasts, who seem to shut their eyes to facts, while hoping against hope to maintain exploded theories. One of these, Mr. W. T. Ellis, alias the "Be Ugions Rambler." attacks our Report- Falsely he declares that we journeyed on the same vessel from San Francis- co to Shanghai, giving the Impression that we had not visited Japan at ail; that we merely raced through the country, did not visit all the mission stations, nor talk with all the mission aries. Our Report tells the facts. The Com- mittee of Seven scattered, and spent alx days in Japan, or a total of forty- two days of Investigation. Our trwen- ty-three days spent In India would be the equivalent «>f uearly six months* Inrestigatlor !• one person. We vis- ited and Interrogated the people, saw their condition*, attended meetings, etc. Aa for myself, this- critic charges In one breath that I did not preach the sermons which appeared in the news- papers of the world: and in the next breath that I spent all of my time In preaching, and therefore had not time for investigation. A discerning public enn read between the Hu'es of such criticism what the Bible symbolically describe* as "v Hashing of teeth.** Our Committee t- »k the only proper course for ascertain!ui; the facts. Every mis- sionary and every other person visit- ing foreign lauds within five years, will concede that our Report is very truth- ful, kind and sympathetic.
