Uncle Sam's doors will be open to only newcomers 'during the year, of whom 87,666 will likely be Lutherans, 72,399 non-Lutheran Protestants and the remaining 185,718 Greek and Roman Catholics and non-Christian.

The figures are based upon the per-cents of religious population In the mother countries permitted to send homeseekers to our shores. The 1921 Lutheran World Almanac, which appeared last year, was the first attempt of an American church to present authoritative International religious statistics on an extensive scale. The 1922 volume revises much of the material in the former one and introduces much that ls new. In the United States the actual number of enrolled baptised Lutherans ls 3,677,860, of whom 2,471,717 are on the active confirmed memmbershlp lists. It ls estimated that the total number of Lutherans by baptism In this country is between 15,000,000 and The 15,013 congregations In the United States are served by 9,655 ministers in many cases one minister serving several country chaxges.

Lutheran Sunday schools instructed 1,018,951 children during the year, and maintained a teaching force of 94,340. Two thousand, six hundred and seventy-two teachers were employed by the parochial schools to take care of scholars. Thirteen thousand, nine hundred and fourteen Lutheran young men and women were in attendance at higher Institutions, while the number preparing for the ministry and other church work was 2,658. There are 32 Lutheran publishing companies in the United States, 16 official, and 16 independent. Here are published 296 magazines and papers.

The American Lutheran Church has 287 ordained missionaries in foreign lands, and is maintaining mission fields in China, Russia, Japan, Persia, Africa, India, South America and During the year various groups in Australia have combined to form the United Lutheran Church in Australia, with full autonomy and growing strength. The United Lutheran China has also been organized Finincially the church is making progress, the total valuation of church property being with an indebtedness of but 8,942,722.

O. Brim of the department of rural education read a paper on "Child Nature and School Work." Professor Brim explained the change which had come through the centuries in our attitude toward children. No longer do we consider a child innately bad nor "a substance amenable to environmental forces." "We are coming to believe that child life in itself is as significant and worth while as adult life," he said. "Child life is a by itself, and if we would really be fair to the child or wise for the future we should know the child 'world from day to day and for each individual." Professor Brim mentioned many aspects of child life which are not only interesting in themselves, but the knowledge of them" would be eminently worth while in aiding us to be just to our children. "We cannot talk to children as we do to each other," he stated.

"Their little world is closed to us, but we would be wiser in our care of them and our lives would be richer if we could become a3 little children." In Professor Brim's opinion the school is established not to remake child life in a great sense but to develop and direct it. "It should not be a place here the normal activities of children must be prohibited, where the Joy of living today is sacrificed to Miss Edna Wheaton, daughter of Mrs- Josephine M. Wheaton of 428 North Cayuga street, well known stage beauty of New York City, where she has recently been noticed considerably In the press as a member of the Ziegfleld Frolic Company, Is connected by the newspapers of the metropolis with the recent poison case of another member of the same theatrical company. Miss Helen Lee Worthing, whose condition at the Bellevue Hospital in New York is causing concern among her friends. According to dispatches from New York Miss Wheaton, whose dressing room' fight witn Miss Worthing has teen featured in the Sunday supplements stated that the latter is one of her best friends when asked If their quarrel could have caused Miss Worthing to take the poison tablets.

"The story of a lover's quarrel vas told today in explanation of the oisoning of Helen Lee Worthing, Ziegfleld Frolic beauty, who was found, screaming, on the floor of her apartment at 63 West Fifty-sixth street Wednesday, says a New York dispatch. She had taken poison tablets by accident according to women neighbors. She is recovering. -But at the Bellevue Hospital where Miss Worthing was taken, friends who hurried to visit her today said she was despondent and the report of John McGraw, a patrolman, 'was that 'she stated she took poison because she was sick of young man of wealthy family, fenown at stage doors merely as 'Jack', rushed to the hospital last tght 'upon learning she was taken We Have a Full Line of Hotel Astor Teas and Coffees there. He was in a highly nervous state, it was said, and pleaded for forgiveness.

Quarrel Denied. "Edna Wheaton, another Ziegfleld chorus beauty whose home Is in Ithaca N. was indignant today over the report that a quarrel between her and Miss Worthing had y.8.eAth? latter's At of despondency. ls one of my best Miss Wheaton said. I took flowers to her at the hospital.

The little scrap we had months ago was npth-ing. She was out of sorts, and you know I have a temper, too. But it blew over and we were the best of pals 'Helen is in love and I believe, engaged to Jack. None of us except Helen knows his other name but he's rich and she's crazy in love with him. Jack was at the hospital when I got there.

He offered to do anything In the world for "Other intimates of Miss Worthing, whose father ls a wealthy leather goods manufacturer in Brookline, said she had intended to marry 'Jack but that his parents are opposed to girls of the stage and had effectively blocked the marriage. "The story of Helen Lee Worthing is not one to make other girls envy the possessor of great beauty. Five years ago. when less than 17, while living in Kentucky, she was secretly married to Charles J. McDonald, a Chicago advertising man, who had been fascinated by the girl's simple charm and unexcelled face and figure.

First Bounty Trize. "At about the same time she was awarded first prize for possessing the most perfect hands and arms in Louisville. "Two years later she was in Boston, living at No. 1023 Beacon street, Brookline. One day a photographer persuaded her to send her portrait to a film magazine which was offering a large prize and a place In the 'movies' to the girl who should be selected by a board of judges as most beautiful woman in "Ten thousand women entered the contest and the judges, who numbered such well known beauty pickers as Cecil de Mille, James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Chandler Christy, Mary Pickford, Thomas Ince and David Wark Griffiths, unanimously picked the portrait of Miss Worthing, confirming the selection after having a personal view of the young woman, then just reaching 19.

"The film world attracted her but, according to her own affidavit in her suit for divorce from McDonald, the latter objected to her picture career strongly. Declined to Leave Stage "She refused to give it up, for as she said frankly, s'on his salary he couldn't buy me the things I had come to want. Since I could earn the money for them I didn't see why I should do without them. I wanted a car. He offered me a Ford.

school he will be provided with better opportunities, more equipment, the stimulus that comes from companionship with children of his own age and the guidance of a trained teacher. Children are active, forever doing. Wherever there is life there is activity, physical, mental or both. After the first few months the child has definite interests, wants, purposes, plans. His activity Is a means to an end.

He wants to be the cause, the directing agent, himself. "Very early the child begins to exercise choice and judgment. Children in free activity exhibit the same characteristics found in adult behavior of the more intelligent type. What the school should do is to foster, cultivate and direct these fundamental human activities. "The child learns by living and declared Professor Brim.

"All the changes which education can effect are required, not primarily as things learned out of books, but as results that come out of his daily living. The out-of-school life is of the utmost Importance in a child's education. Why ITavo Schools? "If children learn so much and so effectively from their daily activities, why have a school? Because our own family or nelghborhool life is limited. The scheel must provide a child with a more varied and abundant activity, give him a wider range of experience. The school must select and arrange the work bo that he may safely and profitably participate in it.

The school should be a place where the child lives as truly as he does outside of school. Too often children do not understand why they are doing their tasks in school. In their out-of-school life they are more intelligent about what they are doing.

"The ideal school would provide more varied activity, would possess abundant, varied and well selected equipment and in their various activities children would be doing something they felt worth while; they would read, study, work, plan and execute in order that they might achieve."
