The Scarritt Bilile and Training
School for Missionaries and other
Christian workers w is founded 26
yearn ago. Miss Bell* II M"iinott of
Richmond. Ky . was authorized by the
Woman's Board of Foreign Missions
to present a claim to tin* M. K.
fSuirch. .South, for funds to build and
•quip an Institution where young wo-
■son might be trained for Christian
work Itev Math m St arritt of Kansas
Olty offered $25,000 in addition to a
building site provided the church
could raise $",0,000. Tin plans w. re
carried out and the building was open-
ad for W'.rk in 1*!iJ! For n veral years
a nurso t.rnlnlrg department and hos-
pital was Included, but it was dis-
covered that all the building was
* (veded to accommodate the young
women who "wanted to take the mis-
sionary training course, so the hos-
pitfil was discontinued in 1905
Toung women of everv evangelical
denomination are allowed to tk••
training Here provided sin* can give
evidence that she is in good standing
Hi her home church Kdncational re-
quirements vary with the courses to
be pnrsned The school offers 4*1

The curriculum consists of Hible,

principal, Ml** Olbson. I* a dear lady
gnd t* *<*ry anxious that our training
I i thorough. Ho sho keeps the stan-
id high and has us come up to it.
In addition to physical and mental
development, strong emphasis la
plat I'd on spiritual development. The
qule: hour. 20 minutes before break-
fast. when all are supposed to be In
prayer, morning and evening prayer
by faculty and students in turn, week-
ly prayer circles and an excellent
vi sp< i service conducted by some
member of the faculty every Sunday
afternoon are among the helps along
this line. Many missionaries home on
f ,rlough spend a few weeks at a tilnr
lit re and give splendid lectures which
are very helpful In the spiritual aid
of the student-body.
Kansas City with its 400,ooo inhabi-
tants offers r< great opportunity to the
social service worker. Kvery student
has the opportunity of Inspecting the
splendid social agencies that are doing
such faithful 'work for the advance-
mint of the community. Among the
best social agencies in the eitv are a
splendid Hoard of Public Welfare,
Juvenile Court, Social Workers' Con-
ference, Active Consumers League,
Vacation Hible Schools, City Censor-
ship and supervision of moving pic-
tures Also a large use of public
schools as social centers.
The Institutional church, which is
the largest and best In the South, fur-
nishes a wonderful field In which the
theories taught at the Training school
In the department of sociology may
lie put into practice. Many of the
young women from the school assist
in the work at this church, such as
conduct Mothers' clulw, teach sew-
ing, kindergarten, gvinnn*tlcs, kitch-
en. garden, etc. At the beginning of
the first, term each student. Is ap-
pointed to some certain church to do
Sunday school or League work In
connection -with this she also has some
lb I I work during the week.
It Is very Interesting to receive our
appointments. It might be interesting
to my friends to know what my Held
work has been the past yen r. When
the appointments were read Miss
c-innon of Richmond Va., and I found
t '••at Wt Were to go to lyOOSO Wile*
c .ndv fin lory to give Bible talks once
i -. • "|< at tin- noon hour. We have cx-
< client crowds. 1 talk to about 2*>0
young men and young women each
w.fk tin fourth floor, Some of the
students here hnv. gone with us a few
times They came buck lotting how
"Miss Cannon and I stood on good*
boxes and preached." It Is a Very
common question now, when *n re-
turn from our work for some oik* In
say "We|| what did you preach about
today?" We consider It a great prlvl-
!■ g<> to talk to these Working people
Home of whom never go to church and
never hear a Itible me isage only as
wo give our simple messages.
All the Southern states are repre-
sented in school here We have one
i young lady from Kobe. Japan. She
'lit a college student and a very bright
l>onng woman. She was raised In a
non-Chrlatlan home was converted
twelve years ago and ha* developed
Into a beautiful Christian character.
Sbo wo* very much Impressed wltn
the Way we celebrated Christmas.
Said Christinas meant so much more
to her now since sho had studied the
gospels than It had ever mount before.
The Christmas festivities liore are
really -wonderful. The Christ spirit Is
felt so forcibly. Ono young lady from
South Carolina was hoard to remark
during Christmas holidays, "1 don't
believe I want to go to heaven, I had
Just as soon slay at Scarritt."
The school hasn't been so full the
past two years as In previous years on
account of the loss of the endowment
fund of $l Hi,ooo, also the students
loan fund of $-,">00, There is now no
provision In the school to render fin-
ancial assistance to students except by
the alumnae scholarship find Individ-
ual gifts.

cently and gave some wonderful ad-
dresses on the mission work In China

tion of the Wembo-Nlaml mission
which he helped lo establish in Afri-
ca was ono of intense Interest.
During tho Layman's Missionary
Conference held here recently, wo
heard a number of tho best mission-
aries of tho different churches deliver
lectures in regard to the missionary
work that is needotl In the foreign
llelds. Mr. Ryan, missionary to Tur-
key ami whom the Turks had driven
out, spoke In such an appealing way
for the work that Is needed in that
country. Ho spoke In such sympa-
thetic terms of how the Uclglans were
being driven by the thousands from
'Iheir homos to tlie wlldernuns to starve
'to death.
Kansas City people are very loyal to

the great effort being made by the
United States to drill and carry to high
perfection Its army preparation, we
can not fall to notice bow serious Is
the need for well-drilled troops to
lake their place upon the field of ac-

certainly feel the very Imperative de-
mand made upon him that he shall
perform his part in the support of
the army and provide for all the needs
of the men.
"We appeal especially to all the
women of our country, who have be-
fore their eyes the horrors which
have afflicted the women of Flan-
tiers, Franco, Helglum, Serbia and
all the other countries which have
been under tho Influence of this tn--

her 'laughter will feel that she owe*

now give to protect liar against simi-
