American schools are girdling
Arth and America la becoming
the
the
schoolmaster of the children or almost
every clime and nation. This fact has
been specially emphasized recently by
the announcement of recent gifts ag
gregating $100,000 for a girls' college
at Constantinople by Miss Helen
Oould, Mrs. Russell Sage and other
prominent women. Dut these schools
do not merely girdle, but gridiron, dot
and cover the most distant parts of
the planet, making commercial enter
prise retire to the background by
comparison.
American school lessons echo from
the banks of the Euphrates to the
Congo and from the Amazon to the
Yellow river. This extension of our
public school system, except for the
necessary ubo of native tongues, might
hardly be differentiated in merit from
home Institutions. The Biibjects and
methods are the same, from kinder
garten to Iatln and botany; football
teams, debating societies and college
yells, very polygot, complete a perfect
likeness.
The beginning of the secular school
work of the United States government
In Its possessions acquired through
the Spanish war is a record of hurry
un achievement that would have
shocked the old-fashioned educators.
A cargo of BOO men and women teach
ers was shipped to tho Philippines In
the summer of 1901, and a command
ing general estimated that their paci
fying influence was equal to ten regi
ments of troops.
American schools In Porto Rico have
more than doubled in the last "nine
years. The Hawaiian Islands began
to come under the Influence of the
stars and stripes In 1820, when the
American board of missions started Its
work there, and now there are 20,000
scholars In private and public schools.
A self-governing system is in opera
tion among the scholars of the Royal
school In Honolulu. Oahu college Is
the oldest institution of higher learn
ing west of the Rockies. Amid the icy
desolation of Alaska there are 52 pub
lic and many mission schools. Per
haps the northernmost American
school in the world is on the frozen
brink of the Arctic ocean, at Point
Barrow an old mission station.
- It has been estimated that above
1,000,000 pupils attend American
schools In foreign lands. Including
all kinds of Institutions, from kinder
Mrtens to colleges, there are not less
than 8,638 of them, divided among the
various denominations as follows:
Methodists.' 2,041; Baptists, 1.832;
American board, 1.633; Presbyterians,
883; Disciples of Christ. 36. The fig
ures of the Episcopalians are not given
in' this estimate.
A great increase In Korean school
work for last year was described to
the writer by Messrs. Underwood 'and
Sharrocks, missionaries of the Presby
terian church In that field. There was

of schools and 72 per cent, in at

S44 schools In Korea, and nearly every
one. is self-supporting.
' - The Methodists have a flourishing
college at Tokyo. The Episcopalians
and Presbyterians also maintain col
leges at the Japanese capital. The
Kobe College for Women Is on the
list of the Congregationallsts, other

HOW TO APPLY PAINT;
Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mlxod with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead (trade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the Job will be satisfac
tory. White lead Is capable of ab
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbrldge Building. New
York, will send a testing outfit free to
any ono interested.

Dr. C. F. Simmons, San Antonio. Tex. .
Dear 8ir:-I nm in receipt ofjow faTor of the 7th Inst., and hi answer
will say that I visited the Dr. C. Simmons ranch in Atascosa Count,
Tendon February Wh, 1907. I spent all day the 8th, and stayed all night
it the Brown rancn, then rode allay the 10th over the ranch, making two
full days of hard riding on horseback over this ranch.
I met Mr. Franks at Pleasanton. He has been foreman on this ranch
for 18 years, and knows every foot of the land. I told him I wanted to see
the poorest land on the rapch, and he directed me how to go, and after
two aays hard riding I was fully satisfied with the proposition.
Isaw three artesian wells, and was within three-quarters of a mile of
the fonrth one. 1 tasted the water at one of these wells and found it to be
ill riant It wa very warm, as I understand all artesian water is when it
first T cVmes from the well. I am satisfied this well is furnishing enough water
to irrigate 1,000 acres of land. It is in Headquarters P""ture.
I found the soil to be from a heavy black to a dark red, and all the
shades between black and red. In fact, the sod looked good to me, and I
believe I know good land when I see it. . . .
I have read carefully the printed folder .and examined, the (little book.
"New Homo Sweet Home" with regard to the pictures printed m it, and
will mv they are all there just ns natural as life. t n.
While 1 did hot fet to see all over the ranch, I saw enough to mtisfy
me that it is all riht. I saw the country from San Antonio via Corpus
Cbristi to Brownsville,- but like the Simmons ranch better than anything
1 T have invested in this Simmons proposition and am now making prep
arations to move there this fall, and f wish, to av to my friends and all of
their friends, take out at least one application. You can t go wrong. It is
the garden spot of the United States.
Wishing you success, I remain,
- Yourajruly. B. Q. MATTIES. .
