Dear Editor: ' Here comes a letter from this land of intrigue, graft, warfare, famine, suffering, 'chaos, to tell you and the readers o f your excellent paper about China’s new womari who has a share in the “ goings-on.” I f a woman in China, twenty’ years ago, had been given a Rip Van Winkle sleep, she would he more surprised than he was, should she awake today,- Then women had to stay indoors and work something like domestic animals. Or, if o f a better family, be cooped up at home and stay there, She was al­ lowed to be seen only by her husband or brothers. Now what a change! The modern Chinese young women skip around the streets with a spring, grace and free­ dom that’s quite refreshing when one remembers the women formerly hobbl­ ing along on bound feet supported by amahs. Now girls bob, shingle, or permanent wave their hair. That’s a sign o f freedom! They ride bicycles, play tennis, basket-ball and- engage in other athletics. Formerly the parents arranged their marriage, Now one often sees the young ladies walking very affectionately arm 1ft arm with their “ best boys,” and the young peo- pie often do the arranging, The dross used to be the most modest o f any na­ tionality. Now women are often aeon with short sleeves and very low-necfe- ed frocks even at mid-day. Sometimes they’re seen with the most -up-to-date up-beyond-the-knee short frocks and flimsy silk hose and very high-heeled shoes. Indeed the Chinese girls are quite amusing flappers sometimes- shocking sometimes—so much so that the officials have fe lt it necessary to issue proclamations commanding them to dress modestly. The girls have ev6n learned to flirt in the moat up-to- date way, That’s freedom! They dance in the latest style. They ride horses, astride, with boots and riding breeches. “ That’s English, you know.” Once the Ideal for girls was that they be able to do beautiful needle­ work at home. Now they are doing other things, They are clerks in stores, Softie are typists and steno­ graphers, Some are bankers.

M, Ritchie It is estimated that a college educa­ tion multiplies the value o f a life career over a common school and a jhigh-sehoDL-education. by 914, Over a common school education by 215. Over no school education by 817. If you have a common school educa­ tion your life is worth 3 8-10 times as much to the world as though you had no education. I f you have a high school education, your life is worth 23 times as much as if you had only a common school edu­ cation and 87 times as much ,as if you had no education, I f you have a college education, ybur life is worth 9% times as much as if you had only a high school edu­ cation; 215 times as much, as if you had only a common school, education, and-817 times as much as if you had no education. Of the notables in “ Who’s Who,” out o f 10,000 men considered success­ ful, 7,700 have college education. Will a college education pay ? Can I afford the time and money it will cost? Well, listen please! .“ The boy who graduates from the high school has eleven times the chance o f success that the one has who stqps with the grades; the one who graduates from a classical college has thirty-five times the chance of success that the one has who stops with the grades. ’ President William Rainey Harper of Chicago, under whom we had the pri­ vilege of studying, said: “ The advance of world-knowledge is so wide-spread that .in order to hold one's oiyn, to be the best and do the best, it is neces­ sary to get just as much education as possible. Young people need the high­ er education, who would not have needed it two generations ago.” A youth with a college course has no better education relatively than the youth with a common school training few yeats* ago. * About as much chance for him to become a leader among his fellows' as fo r the youth who played old-fashioned town ball to be elected the captain o f the big lea­ gue Baseball Team. But we^inust not consider the ques­ tion from a financial viewpoint alone. A college education fits people for living a larger and more useful life. One asks, “ Does it pay to look through a keyhole or through a Telescope?” Another says, “ College is where we learn to make life a glory and not a grind.” I t is the place where-we learn to open wide the doors o f life'and push back the horizon and get a wider out­ look and a clearer vision.' It will teach Us how to get mental and moral wealth of which no one can rob us. Education introduces one to the writ­ ers and scholars and. artists and Read­ ers o f every realm and every ag L It puts into one’s hand the key of the world’s knowledge. It makes one at home, with any class o f people. He will live more in a day than an ignorant man can live in a century! In every period o f life the most pleasing employment o f the human mind is the acquisition o f knowledge. The by-products of college life are a real asset,.In the Christian fellowship with faculty arid students, the moral and spiritual atmosphere that’ pre­ vails, the high standards o f character and life constantly held up, there is a character building going oh that it the highest ideal o f life. The secret of noble character is noble thought. Not every college man becomes a noble character, but a man’s chances are greatly multiplied in a Christian col­ lege. Ex-President Dr. W» O. Thompson of Ohio State University is reported to have said, “ The atmosphere in Which a boy is educated counts for much. I am in no way untrue to state institutions when I say that on our day a-hoy might become a bachelor or master in almost any one o f the best o f them and be as ignorant o f the Bible, tbfc, moral and spiritual truth which it represents and the funda­ mental principles o f religion, their nature and value to society, as if he had been educated in a non-Christian county.” And he added the pertinent question, “Who is to supply this lack if not the Christian college?” There is an advertisement familiar to- all—a dog sitting before a horn whence issues “ his master’s voice.” I f a dog can be trained to recognize his master’s a.id to respond to its appeal, can we not lead a boy into the knowl­ edge o f his Master’s voice and help, him to know and do his Father’s will? We con and we must; and to do this is part of the task o f religious education; part o f the high function o f the Christian college, Cedarville College will open for its Thirty-Sixth year on September 11. Encourage young people to attend, No one can take an education from you; you cannot lose it. It is a perpetual asset for success in life and character building fo r eternity.
