for colored girls. In her address she
pleaded fbFs squat opportmities for

how greatly the girls appreciate your
coming such q distance to speak to US.
The interest in your subject was
shown by the fact that quite a number
Of girls who do not regularly attend
the Christian Association meetings,
came to your meeting wednesday
night. As to your presentation OF the
subject, IT'S effect can be judged by
tlae- fact that your talk has been dis
cnssed very widsly among the girls
representing every type in college. /
don't know when speaker has
aroused so much interest and changed
so many ideas In SO short q time.
Some girls had no conception Of the
problems or the means used to solve
them; others were prejudiced merely
because of hearsay. One Southern

meeting, but after, 1t. was over she
had not word Of criticisb to offer.

His defence OF the indefensible in

the statement that the Virginia rates

that the effect of the Virginia cities
