"China is the last country in the

rest of the world" Miss Smith says.
I'm China there is a wonderful social
solidarity. People get together, not SO
much by localities, but by trades and
professions. Every one belongs to a
guild, and these guilds are wonderfully
organized, as the Chinese have a
genius for organization. Despite
poor lines Of communication, lack Of
railroads and telephones, these guilds
hold closely together. Yet their organ

with a leadership as highly organ
lied as that of the students a great
amount can be done. Leading men of
China interpret the student movement
as very significant-the forming of a
new national party. It is the duty of
all Christian organizations in China to
give these students, who are now the
leaders Of the Government, every pos
sible bit of aid and inspiration, as they
need more than human help to bring
China out of her difficulties successful

Miss Smith has seen China change,
within ten years, from u Of the old
est and most rigid monarchies of the
world into a republic. She saw the
first republican flags go up and feels
that China has accomplished a great
deal, fighting all the time as she has,
against the great odds of Japanese and
European aggression In addition to the
old m~onarchistic party. Given time,
China will become n Of the great re-
publics Of the world, she says.
Miss Smith lives In Richmond, Va,

expects to return to China in the
