EDUCATIONAL WORK
IMPOBTA&T TEATTOE OF WO-
' HAN'S HOME MISSION SOCIETY.
Schools Established ' in Many Tlaoes
i in the Souh West and in
J Cuba.
'One of the most Important works carried
W-by the Woman's Home Mission society
Is a system of schools which look to the ele-
vation .and development of certain classes
of dependents Vnd foreigners. ' -'
Of the more than 80000000 In the United
States fully one-third are foreign born or
children of parents born In foreign coun-
tries. Some of these people are so segre-
gated as to constitute foreign communities
where foreign eustoms obtain and the lan-
guages are spoken. Along the Rio Grande
lrt own State there are many such Mexi-
can' Tettiements and since Galveston la now
a port of entry another class of alien has
access to our country arid taction. In three
counties iji Texas oniV the German' lan-
guage a spoken while throughout the State
people from every nationality segregate. In
Houston Itself a dozen or more nationalitiea
are represented. At Tampa Fla. a city of
41oOO people one-half are foreigners and
thirty-live . different languages are spoken.
Forty-eight per cent of all these aliens In
the South are Illiterate few are skilled
workman and most of them are indifferent
to our customs and religions. To help
watte oestraoie citizens .or tuese people ami
to give them basic principles of Christian-
ity the Woman's Home Mission society-has
a number of schools. At Tampa two schools
with two hundred students are carried on.
by seven teachers. Many features of the
social settlement are introduced in order to
reach the parents back of the children. At
Key West Via. the beautiful Ruth Har-
grove seminary is located which has nearly
ie pupils.
Side by side with the Cubans at Tampa.
lyis i venutuie uiuo iuuy. so great is
J their .race prejudice they will have no af
filiation with the Cubans so this society
has. two blocks from the Cuban school an-
other day school for Italian children. Three
teachers work In tills sohool where nearly
too children attend. They also have a night
.school for boys and men. As a result of
these schools - two Methodist churches for
Cubans and one for Italians have' been or-
ganised. .
- On the Piaelfle coast four homes and night
schools for Japanese : Chinese and Coreans
are enterprlsed with an enrollment of 225.
Two churches for Japanese and one for
Coreans the result ot these schools attest
the evangelical effect ot this work. In
China today there are native Christians who
iwere converted here and are being main-
tained by the effort of their Chinese friends
on this side ot the Pacific.. . -
Three schools for mountaineers are enter-
prlsed by the 'Woman's Home Mission so-
. ciety. London Ky. Is the largest of these.
The campus has a beautiful location and
covers . twentythree acres. . The building
consists ot a main sohool; building two dor-
mitories (one for. girls and the other for
boys) seven students' : cottages and ' the
principal's home. Four hundred ' students
can be accommodated In the school building
and - the dormitories ' ftnd cottages furnish
boarding facilities for 150. There are nine
. departments In the school. Primary Inter-
mediate ecademe normal: business' must-
' cat Industrial? biblical and physical culture.
Prof J. -C . Lewis 'has teen- principal since
the establishment of the school and has a
well selected faculty of twelve teachers.
The 'vital truths of Christianity are taught
and lived at Sue Bennett and hundreds
- of students have become Christiana and a
leaven has ; gone out into all the regions
around. J. . .!' V.

with five assistants makes this school a
material blessing not only to Transylvania
county but to the oountles adjoining.
At Greenville' Teno. is located. an Indus-'
trial home and school for orphans and chil-
dren who have no protectors.
Three distinctively Industrial schools are
also maintained by this organisation for
three distinct classes of girls. At Thomas-
vllle Ga the Vaahtl home cares for friend-
lees girls who are too old to enter orphan-
ages and for daughters of working women
who must leave them exposed a large part
of the time. The course ot study covers
the usual grammar school grades all the
domestlo sciences as well as poultry raising
floral culture and dairying.
At Dallas Texas is located a home and
school for the rescue of unfortunate girls.
In the United States there are 300000 fallen
women. Not all of these have fallen through
sheer vice. Some have been the victims ot
peculiar conditions. Here unfortunate girls
between the ages of U and 29 have been
gathered and saved from lives of prostitu-
tion. They are taught such branches as
develop their faculties along the line of
work open to them after finishing the
course.' Ninety-five per cent of the MO girls
who have come Into this home have been
saved. Many of them today are leading
lives ot usefulness In their communities.
This Institution owes Its existence to the
devotion of one woman in Texas . Mrs. W.

"City ot lesterday" which Is at the Ma-
jestlo theater this week a most unique
spectacle la shown of ths San Francisco
earthquake and fire that doomed the city.
Kxact reproductions ot the buildings along
the street lighted by many Incandescent
lamps are shown on the stage. The earth-
quake seine when the buildings are shaken
to their foundations some crashing to the
pavements and others standing with bulged
walls ready to topple over is most realis-
tically produced by elaborate electrical de-
vices and gives an excellent Idea of the ter-
rors which the situation held for the people
of the stricken city. The entire number Is
given without the aid of moving pictures
and Is one of the big attractions ot .the
vaudeville season.

Strange Letter:" Billy Clark black faced

roaring fame ''The A. 0. T. Boy and the

Nlght-Blographlcal.
Eighteen years ago In the little town of
"Wlldenschfert Bohemia was born a young
lad' named Juroslav Koclan destined to be
come one of the greatest inimical artists nf
the times while yet a mere buy. At the uk
of 3 Jaroslav evinced a remarkable ear for
music and was given a tiny toy fiddle by
hie father on which he learned to play with-
in sloe months. Recognising the child's tal-
ent his father who was a schoolmaster and
un excellent musician encouraged the lad to
study seriously and at the age II! sent
him to the Prague conservatory. There he
became a pupil of Bevel k and Uxorak. and
made such rapid progress that four years
later he was graduated with highest honors.
Ills exceptional talent wus by tins time wide-
ly known and the young artist was Imme-
diately besieged by Impressarlos anxious to
take him on a concert tour. Soon lie whs the
sensation of Europe but It remained for
London to acclaim him as one of the great-
est violinists of the century despite his
youth. Dr. Hans Rlrhter was grestely In-
terested In the young man's csreer and his
most distinct triumphs were as soloist wltn
the Rlchter orchestra.
THE) BIO TBNT THEATER.
Dr. Rucker was greeted by an audience
that packed and Jammed Ihe big tent to Its
utmost capacity at the matinee yesterday
afternoon and many were unable to gain
admission to hear his famous lecture to
ladies only.
The performance went with the usual snap
and vim for which these popular players ar
noted and all who were so fortunate as to
?aln admission went away more than satis-
led. For the evening performance they present-
ed that good old English melodrama "Lady
Audley's Secret" and a better performance
of this famous old play has never been wit-
nessed In Houston. The piece desls with th.
home life of some of the English nobility
and Is of peculiar Interest at the present
time when soandal la rife and one divorce
suit follows another so rapidly that It Is al-
most Impossible to tabulate them.
On Friday night as has been the custom
of these popular players they wlJl present
snoth.r new play and this time It will be
their own dramatisation of George du Mau-
Tier's novel "Trilby." and without a doubt
the greatest mesmerio play ever written. The
reputation of Dr. Rucker's Famous Korak
Wonder company for attention lo detail will
be amply sustained In this production and
to miss It will be to miss a rest Indeed
Saturday at the matinee they will present
"Driven from Home" and every child hav-
ing one ot the tickets will be admitted tor
3 nts. - '.
This Is positively the last week of this
great company In Houston. They open next
week In Dallas.

more for cargoes which apparently might be
delivered In a couple of hours Parties at
points along the -channel who buy supplies
In Houston have complained at the boats
on account of delay and naturally the
boat owners have laid the fault at the door
of the shipper' ' - - ;
