 Hindus of one caste will not accept religious advice from another he said But if the Christian religion could have sufficient teachers who are members of the lower strata of society, fifty million converts would be obtained in a short time, Eddy pre- dicted.
 He has found in China, he said, that the educated classes were the hardest to reach; but that in India, it was the uneducated mass of lower caste Hindu that was hard to get at

Special to Gateway by United Press.
 INDIANAPOLIS, April 27. - The National Conference of Charities and Correction at it's forty-third annual meeting at Indianapolis May lO-17 expects to meet the charge that work for the submerged classes is a waste of energy. The program names 125 speakers. There are about 5000 men and women engaged in professional social work in New York and Chicago.
 A defense of organized social work will be the illustrations the Indiana polls program furnishes of the new science of social engineering.
 Allen T. Burns, of the Cleveland Foundation, which is said to have ac- cumulated within it's first year about $8O,OOO,OOO, will speak on the Organ ization of Community Resources"
 The science and value of social sur veys will be described by Shelby M. Harrison, of the Russell Sage Found ation and Robert s. Binkerd of the New York City club. Coordination of civic efforts in small communities will be the topic of a symposium ar ranged by Mrs. Ada Elit Sheffield of Boston.
