Tor in Southern China there are com
parativcly no schools for girls where
English is taught. And the Chinese
must study in English, not their own
language. If they wish to take advan-
tage of the sciences and literature OF
,hc world. Miss Law prepared for col
lege in the preparatory department OF
the Canton Christian College. This
has only been founded recently, since
1901. and Is essentially a college for
men, but by special permission four
girls, including Iau Tsit Law, were
allowed TO share its advantages. This
was great cor cessiOn on the part OF
the authorities. but ~ was granted be-
cause the mothers Of the girls were
teachers. Miss Law studied there tor
five wears and then came directly 70

and Economies as her specially and
hopes 10 be able to do some work IL

interest i'm Y. W. c. A. work in her ma
tive country.
Miss Me Jung Ting graduated from
the Met yreste School at Shanghai II
1911, and planned 10 come to this coun~
try in the fall OF that year. Conditions
under the Chinese revolutions prevent
ed her from leaving China until this
year. but she spent her years OF wait
ing courageously by teaching AZ Shang-
hal and Nanking. She set sail from her
home this summer on August 10. lfe
steamship China carried rather ur-
usual crowd of young people. Ever
since the year 1908 number OF young
Chinese men have come 10 America
every year to study in our colleges.
This the American Indemnity Fund mas
made possible. But this year not only
young Chinese men, but young Chinese
women came also. marking the begid-
ming Of 4 broader education for tht
Chinese women. II Is a great event IN
Chinese history; IT shows that orc
more barrier against the freedom -
the Chinese woman Is broken down; /.
proves that the old Chinese ideas q
place are undergoing gra.-
ua but decided change.

evening was am address given by Mrs.
Minnie Cooper. of New York City. on
the personality and characteristics of
Bernard Shaw from a humanitarian
and optimistic viewpoint. Mrs. Coop
cr's treatment Of her theme was eN-
ceeding,y interesting and unusual. and
il emphasized one side Of the great
mans character usually neglected. She
pointed out that Bernard Shaw is
great ethical teacher, who shocks the
public into thinking. He sees what
man may be in the future. and his de-
sire is to make the public realize its
great possibilities, by Showing in very
plain way It's present limitations. II
was also shown that Mr.. Shaw has an
other side beside, that OF the material
ist. and that it is Of the intensely
spiritual, which combination makes
him the most widely discussed man Of
the day.
