| sions, will publish its findings next week.
Members OF the association or commits
sion which visited foreign fields include
John T. D. Pyle. Of this city; Brig. Gen.

inson, Of Indianapolis: J. F. Rutherford,
of the New York bar, and z. W. Kuehn,
Of the Toledo Board OF Trade, together
with Pastor Russell. Advance informa-
tion from the report gives the following
points as likely to be presented in IL:
That evangelical preaching in the far
East has about ceased and that efforts
are now devoted to education and medi-
cal healing; that public schools, on the
lines Of American ones. without religious
instruction and conducted by the govern
ment. are more needed and will give bet
ter results, than the collegiate schools
which missionary societies seek TO estab-
lish: that there Is in the East as in the
West a growing tendency toward no re-
ligion at all; that far East people are
confused by competition and opposition
between Christian mission boards: that
the East is remarkably open minded in
its willingness to accept the religion of
the West, provided II can be shown to
be better: and that talk about convert
ing the world. or the East part Of It
so-called, is ridiculous. and to nobody
more certainly so than to missionaries
themselves.
These points. shown to secretaries of
two of the largest societies In America.
brought forth the following points:
American missionary societies have not
at all lessened their emphasis upon Cos
pei preaching and personal acceptance
OF Christ merely because they extend
education and medical work: that in
many fields abroad competition has
wholly passed; and that missionaries do
not for 4 moment entertain the idea that
the world cannot be evangelical. 1t may
not be converted. but the secretaries ask
these Investigators to be as careful as
investigators ought TO be to know pre-
cisely what Il is American missionary so

excellent.
Not only has Miss Leaveli acquired
knowledge in the classroom. but she has
been placed in positions of responsibility
in connection with school functions.
where she has been called upon TO use
that knowledge when she most needed
It. Notably Is this true OF her position
of editor-in-chief Of the school publlca-
tion, The Western. Miss Leavell was
chosen for this position early In her Sc
nior year. and the admirable manner In
which she discharges this work Is Of
itsslf high recommendation for intel
lectual fitness
a conspicuous achievement by Miss
Leavell was the share she took as joint
author with Miss Louise Maher, OF the
senior class play, 'Everystudent, 80
which was presented by the class Christ
mas. This was, OF course. suggested by
'Everyman." and was a skiilful presenta-
ton of school life and character full Of
good lines. bright wit, and excellent jim
gle. Hardly a phase OF modern school
life escaped the notice Of those two bril-
liant young satirists
That Miss Leavell represents a class Of
western students who not only know
things. but has the much-needed power
Of stating what she knows. clearly and
convincingly. is shown by the large part
she has played in the debating society.
She was chosen vice president of the So
ciety last year and was a most useful
and dependable officer OF the society,
discharging the duties of her position ef-
hciently and conscientiously.
Besides this work. Miss Leavell par
ticipated in the active debates of the SOC
ciety and was on the winning team In
several interclass debates, and by her
clear reasoning. excellent grasp of the
questions under discussion. as well as
by her readiness to seize upon the weak
ness OF her opponents arguments was q
large factor In winning the decision for
her side.

to the manufacture of pearl buttons. The
recommendations of the commission re-
late as well to growing cities in grow

The commission scores the Muscatine

CHINA AND ITALY TRAIN
METHODIST WOMEN LEADERS

The approaching Methodist General Con,
ference at Minneapolis will have two
delegates, possibly more, of very unusual
Personal interest. One Of them Is Mis-
Italia Garibaldi, a granddaughter OF to
Italian liberator, and the other DR.. Ii b
Gu, one of the most famous physicians
OF the Fukien province Of China, a woman
who Is known to some extent for her sur.
gical work throughout all China. Meth.
odist conferences in Italy and in Foo
chow have grown TO such proportions as
TO send these delegates. and others. With
DR.. Ii comes her father, the Rev. Ii,
who comes also as a delegate.
Miss GaribaldI Is the head of an indus
tIial school for girls in Rome. teaching
especially girls from the poorer classes.
II Is under Methodist auspices, and Is
part of their educational work which has
spread to Genoa recently in a Christie
pher Columbus Institute, and long ago
had its colleges in Rome for boys and
girls Of the better classes. Miss Carl
baldi's father is a general In the italian
service. but has also seen service In
Greece and France. Her brother fought
in the Boer war for the English and Is
now fighting In Mexico for President Ma
dero. Another brother is in TripoH. sis
ter Is a Red Cross nurse in the same
Italian campaign, and her mother con-
ducts a hospital and dispensary in the
principal town of the island of Sardinia.
where Gen. Garitaldi. the Hberator, lies
buried.
Miss GaribaIdi speaks English with
some difnculty. but says she intends TO
address the Minneapolis conference, pro-
vided she is recognized by the bishop
presiding. She explains that Methodist
schools flourish In Italy because they
do not teach religion. thereby complying
with the Italian law, and do grant gov
ernment certificates on the same basis
as regular government schools. The
schools taught by nuns teach religion.
and therefore the government refuses
to allow them to award Its certifi-
Gates. She says Italians do not talk
religion, do not think about II. do
not allow II to enter into their lives and
for It do not carry on campaigns like
the Men and Religion, as do Americans.
Already In America, she Is surprised ut
the attention religion receives here. II
Is not so In Italy, she says.
DIR. Ii, the other woman delegate at
Minneapolis whose place In her own
country Is unique. comes from a family
distinguished in the Fulxien province.
She was graduated from the Wcman's
Medical College at Philadelphia In 1906.
and within seven years. In her own coun-
try. has accomplished so much that her
name Is known Ear and wide. She has
