TNationalism was foreign word to

Within the past five years newspapers
have sprung up all over China. They

Education is the power that has
worked the change. Thousands of

of Tokyo. others in the colleges OF
America and Europe. These return

OF Cinnamon that returned to their

an influence. They could not live in a

Judge Brewster was not a patient

angered him 1t was rank injustice. He
had no patience with this young wom-
an who allowed herself to be tram

he could not be angry with her. She
had qualities which compelled his ad-

OF these was her willingness to shield
