Is occidental. 1t has been a foreign
metropolis for fifty years, before many
American cities were ever heard of.
All roads lead to Shanghai, as they
are supposed to lead to Rome. They
reach it through river junks, railroads
from the interior, merchantmen from
the north and south coasts, liners
from Japan, Australia, India, Europe
and America.
Shanghai occupies the tip of Kiang-
su province. *'the garden of centra!
China" The site is on the west bank
of the Hwangpo river, in the extreme
eastern part of the province, just a
stones throw from the mighty Yang
stzekiang, and only twenty miles from
the ocean. Back of it is a fertile al
luvial plain of $4,000 square miles,
supporting a population of many grow
ing millions, the fruits of whose labor
go to Shanghai by steam and sail In
front is large share of the China
ward commerce of the world.
Its Ports Opened in 1912.
In 1912 Shanghai became an open
port for foreign trade along with Nan
king, Annoy and Ningpo, following the
opium war waged against China by
Great Britain and France. At the end
of the first year of general trade it
boasted of only twenty-three foreign
residents, one lonely consul, eleven
business houses and two protestant
missionaries, with small native pop
ulation. Today it is one of the world
greatest ports and boasts 100000 peo-
pie, of whom 1900 are foreigners
cleaned from every country on the
globe, all benefciaries of a total an
nual trade aggregating s250,000, 900
gold.

modern city of Shanghai is very i'm

supply of newspapers in English

North China Daily News, a typical
British organ of the colonial type, is
powerful daily with record of forty
years Of publication to bolster up its
conservatism. The China Press, an
American daily, started two years age
by Thomas F. Willard, is already a
huge success by virtue of hard work

young women.
At the close Of Mr.. Wallis meeting
there was not left one young lady
at the college who has not
professed conversion.

the standard set for their religious
work among the young ladies who at
