There are several books in the Sims
Library which thoughtful people
will find worth reading in this con-
nection. Colquhoun' China in Trans
formation is an admirable resume of
history and of economic, geographic
and social questions. f. H. Parker
in his John Chinaman and Few
Others, gives vivid pictures of Chi
nese character drawn from the wri-
ter's personal experiences during a
long period of consular service. An
American Engineer in China, by W..
b. Parsons, offers a clear insight into
the factors of the Chinese problem.
Martins Lore of Cathay mirrors
Chinese intellectual life. Parker's
China, her history diplomacy, and
commerce holds a just balance be-
tween the Chinese and their critics.
The function of the library is the
