CHINESE STUDENTS
LIKE AMERICAN IDEAS

One of the American leaders of the
Chinese Y. NJ. c. A. at Shanghai reports
that notwithstanding the disturbances
due to revolution and financial depres-
sion, all concerned are surprised at the
heavy gains the work has scored. The
membership has risen to nearly 1000 and
the number of young menIin the day and
evening classes to over 500. The educa-
tional success is due to the broad view
Of the evangelistic purpose with which
these courses of lectures and teaching
are conducted-''to combat the tendency
towards materialism which seems to have
spread over the entire country and give
the thinking man the correct scientific
attitude toward religion, especially to-
ward Christianity, and then to follow
UP these lectures with addresses of
purely religious nature. To this end
such far-reachiEg and timely subjects
were treated as the british constitution
by a judge of the British Consular
Court: the French constitution by the
principal of tho TEcole Francaise; the
constitution of the United States by DR..
S. Hornbcek: "A system of National Edu-
cation by President-Emeritus Eliot, of
Harvard University; The Revolution
by Bishop Bashford. and Aviation" by
H. Y. Lee, the first Chinese aviator to
fly in China. A series of lectures on
constitutional government was also given
by a number of law students recently
returned from abroad. Nearly one
hundred men took a course in first aid
to the injured. a large proportion of
them successfully passing the examina-
ton for the diploma of the st. John
Ambulance Association OF Great Britain.
Formerly Christians were supposed to
be unpatriotic. That charge is never
made against them now, while patriotism
is receiving its first birth in the hearts
of millions. The self-sacrifcing patriotism
and great ability shown by Christians
who have been put in office have given
