NOUNCES FOR CONGRESS
We are carrying the announce
lent of Hon. H. B. Thorn, Har
•isbnrg, for the Democratic Nom
ination for Congress subject to
the action of the August Prima
ry Election.
“Harve,,, as he is better
known by his homefolks, was
born and reared on a farm in
Poinsett County and was educa
ted in the schools of the county
and the University of Arkansas.
He began teaching when he was
eighteen ears of age, paying
his own way through the Uni
versity. At the age of twenty
five years, being just old enough,
he was elected by the people of his
home county to the important
office of County Superintendent
of Schools by the largest ma
jority ever given a candidate in
Poinsett County, and was elected
to a fifth term at the last prima
ry without opposition.
His long experience in the
school work qualifiies him for
the high office which he seeks.
And coming from the rank and
e °f the people, he is thor
oughly familiar with their needs.
His friends know that his
w°rd ^ his bond. His advoca
cy of the people's rights on the
°rum and in the Dress for the
Past ten years makes him a for
dable candidate. His cheery
w°rds, his genial smile and his
!?a y handshake have made for
ftlm thousands of friends, and
predict that he will get
mnety-five per cent of the vote

Little Maid in the ((Moon Door"
Symbol of the Hope of New China
Ginling College, at Nanking, Is Girls School in Five Provinces With Popuia*
tion of 111,000,000—Interchurch World Movement to Aid Institution.
The way to a1! things at Ginling lies
through the moon door. Ajid through
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day the 70 (
Chinese maidens of the “gung-gwan.”
The moon door at Ginling is round
as the full moon whence it has its
name. And the Chinese maiden, as
she steps over its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Sometimes across the court yard is
another moon door, and beyond it. like
a smaller concentric circle, still an
other, leading on through that Chinese
puzzle of a house, the “gung-gwan” or
official residence at Nanking, China,
which Is now the home of Ginling Col
lege for Chinese girls—one of the three
women’s colleges in all China.
The moon do.-* is but a single fea
ture of the old place. Once inside the
high stone walls that enclose it one is
lost in a maze of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole Is China, old China and
new. The mcon door* and the archi
tecture as a whole lend the dignity
and the greatness of old China. But
the laboratories and dormitories,
libraries and studies made from the
old rooms of state and ceremony are
modern, just as the spirit of the
Chinese girls who use them is modern;
just as the force of America is behind
it all, represented by the five Ameii
can missionary organizations and the
American Smith College which main
tain Ginling, is modern. -

and enters a chemical laboratory set
up in a room with 20 windows, each
framed in dragon tracery. And from
the flagstones of the laboratory floor,
often is scraped fungi and mould for
use under the microscope.
These are typical contrasts of Gin
ling College, revealed through the
survey of the Chinese field now being
made by the Interchurch "World
Movement, which seeks to promote the
closer co-operation of Protestant
churches of America in attaining their
world aims.
Ginling College, the survey shows, is
.at the heart of five Chinese provinces
with a total population of 110,000.000—
and is the only woman's college in that
great area. Yet its capacity to receive
young Chinese girls is limited by the
capacity of the old “gung-gwan,M

stitution, four yea^s ago.
Fund of $500,000.
Ginling owns 37 acres of land on
the hills beside the Yangtze river. In
the Interchurch World Movement sur
vey of China, the. e is a budget item
of $500,000. It *-s there to show the
churches of America haw they can
place upon that land on the hill the
library, administration building, recita
tion buildings, chapel—all that are
•needed for r modern college. Unless
the fund is available by 1921, many
young women of China seeking college
educations must be denied admission
to Ginling, because the old “gung
gwan” is too small.
