The lecture on ssChina and the Chinese"
| by Hon. Mason s. Stone, state superin-
| tendent of education, in Seaver's hall
Wednesday evening was we'll attended and
was very instructive and interesting.
He explained how the Chinese looked at
the American and told of some instances
which had led the CniDaman to distrust
| the American. Stereopticon views made
the lecture more interesting. Occasionally
as the views were thrown upon the sheet a
local slide would be shown, causing some
amusement.
