(Ireus oi ur.i sn suiuiers me ucm*hurled down upon the Boer forces.”Kiyo Makino., When I)r. Edward Abbott was in last spring, h's assistance was sought in behalf of a you-g native woman, who was anx’ous to be educated in this country. Th’s young woman, whose name is Kiyo Makino, had heard l rom a compatriot of hers in th s country that an Amer can college, wh eh happens | to lie Radcliffe, offered a scholarship of which she could take advantage. At that t ine M.ss Makino was teaching chemistry in St. Margaret’s school in Tokio; her posit'on then was good, and she was i urged rot to leave her country. After j waiting for some t’me for further news j from her fellow-countryman, however, 'and failing to receive any, this am-jhitious young woman determined, in any case, to come forthwith to America. With little money, therefore, and with j r o knowledge of the English language, she set out, much .against the advice of her family and her fr ends: hut the same i zeal and entrrpr so which Helped heron her decision, brought her safely to Boston, where she arr.ved last week.Once here. Miss Makino soon made friends, who already have arranged for her to study the English language at Northheld the next year. After that, she will, it is thought, be in every way eligible for the Radcliffe scholarship. At home Miss Makino belongs to a Samurai, or soldier family. She is a Christian woman, of good education and high intellectual qualities, and such perservernnce as she has shown, will doubtless bring her the reward which is due her.Discussing the Crime Question
