Great" Wall Again Is Frontier Line

Washington.—China’s Great Wall, glamorous to all who? have studied geography, but usually considered significant only as a work of the dim past, has become a marker In recent news mspatches. With the Tali of Chinchohtfu to Japanese forces, the Chinese have moved south of the wall, and that ancient barrier now forms the frontier between Chinese and enemy territory as It did for centuries after Its construction. A bulletin from tbe National Geographic society tells of this great engineering wonder of the world. “In a world of airplanes, bombs, heavy artillery and high explosives, the Great Wall of China Is of no value aa an obstacle to an enemy army.” says, the Bulletin. “Because this is true, and has been for a long time, the Great Wall has come to be looked upon by many as a prodigious folly But In Its day It was of Incalculable value to the peace-loving Chinese who were able for considerable periods tn keep the ‘Northern Barbarians’ out of their country.’ Once Effective Barrier. “The wall was effective because enemies of the northern plains came against Chinn with unorganized armies of cavalry, which, many times, beat Ineffectively against the wellmanned barrier.

I STUDYING THE § STUDENT By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK X Emeritus Dean of Men, X University of Illinois. Q OOOOOOOOOOOOOQQOOQQOOOOOCO

I have Just read the life of Rachael McMillan, an English woman who

S|>ent her life tn the service of young people. The biography is written by her sister who teljs. among other things, something of the school life of tfie young English girl. “Children learned things then." she says, “that they did not understand, as well as things they must grasp and

th- J

know.” Our-grandmother entirely approved of this method. She said it gave us something to think of as we grew older. . . . "Every child owned his own tiooks and carried them in a b.iu slung over bis'shoulder. Home work was insisted on. The lessons were often given with enthusiasm. for the teacher loved the subject matter even If. as often happened, he eared little for the children. It is remarkable how the center of Interest has now shifted from subjects of the study to the student or child. In those days there was little child?study. but there was scholarship; and this was an advantage to the child in some ways. People did not study him. but he was allowed to study." It was the last sentence which attracted me. lam wondering if. wje arenot making things too easjk

Cherry pie contests, radio addresses, and appearances by the national cherry queen, Maxine Weaver of Traverse City, form part of their program.

crosses several mountain ranges quite or nearly a mile high. “The Great Wall is not a single structure but a system with sections built at different times. Its magnitude can best be understood If it is imagined that It were taken bodily up and set down In the United States, with its eastern end at Philadelphia. This transplanted wall would extend half way across the North American continent! “The Great Wall Is at its best tn Its eastern section. There its sheer faces, from *2O to 50 feet high, are constructed of carefully built masonry. In places rhe entire wall is of masonry. In others the spare between the masonry fares Is filled in with stones and earth.’ North of Peiping (Peking) great blocks of carefully cut granite are used, held in place by mortar superior to that made by the Chinese today. In other localities the wall is faced With large bricks of a finer quality than most of those now manufactured in the western world. Chin Made Great Wall Great. “Good engineers designed the wall. Rain water accumulating on the top is. carried away by stone drains set at intervals of about 100 feet. The fine preservation of much of the wall is owing to the foresight In providing these drains. More than 25.000 towers were buijf' along the wall, at Intervals ranging from 100 yards to a mile. “The, first disconnected walls along the, northern frontier of China were probably constructed as early as 469 B. C, when Xeiwes was invading Greece. But the ruler who made the Great Wall great came two and a half centuries later: Chffl Shih Huang-ti, who tried to brush aside previous Chinese history, and who insisted on being called ‘First Emperor.’ Improving existing walls and erecting new ones. Chin created the first extensive system of defensive ramparts. Probably a thousand miles of wall was built in fifteen years under this ‘First Emperor’ and his immediate successor. The structure has been extended and repaired at intervals during the past 2.200 years., During the past 900 years no extensive repairs have been made, and many of the less carefully built sections of the long rampart are falling into decay."

Sentimental Official Royal Melody “Home, Sweet Home’’ is not the only operatic air that has become a kind of national melody, for France has a tune with words of a similar sentiment. This is “Ou peut-on etre mieux qu’an sein de sa famille?” (“Where can one better be than in the bosom of one's family?”) It was written by Gretry as a quartOtte in his opera “Lucille” and first achieved a political position when It was sung at Versailles on July 15. 1789. when the Bourbons were being turned out. It was also sung at Carlton house when George 111 and Queen Charlotte paid first visit to the prince of Wales and his bride in February, 1795, which possibly caused the homesickness of the princess and made the marriage an unhappy one, and again at Korythnin on the retreat from Moscow on November 15. 1812. It was adopted as an official royal melody on the restoration of the Bourbons in 1814. —London Mail.
