The dinner which now claimed our

The continuation OF government con-

was urged that a public agency be cre-

called bill of rights" there cannot be
said to be any lack of definiteness.
Probably both political parties in their

broIght large numbers u foreign stu-
dents to the United States. Until
then. Europca-- students desiring to
attend EngIish-speaking schools. went
closed European schools to outsiders.
and neutrals desiring higher education
sought out the United States. South
America and the Orient sent even
larger numbers of students to this
country.
OF the Orientals, the most interest
ing are the Boxer indemnity sruderts,
mentioned before. When congress re-
mitted $13,000,00O of the Boxer rebel
lion indemnity, pad by the Chinese
government, the Chinese decided to
spend the money in scholarships in
American schools and colleges. One
hundred students were to be sent every
year for five years, and then fifty
students every year for twentynine
years. The students were to spend
from five to nine years in this country.
This agreement was complete sur
render on China's part of her prejudice
against western culture. In the middle
of the nineteenth century, China had
sent one hundred students to the
United States as an experiment. After
a time, word came to the pig-tailed
Chinese dignitaries in Pekin that their
proteges We're becoming Americanized
in dress and manners. All students
were Immediately recalled; and for
years they bore the displeasure of
their government, and were not al
lowed to hold any office of impor-
tance in their country.
Toward the end of the nineteenth
century, Chinese were again gradually
given permission to study in America.
Now China sees the good points of
western education. and has even modi-
fled her own iron-bound classical cur
ricula to follow some of the western
ideas.
That China, SO long regarded as a
synonym for moss grown convention,
should find something good in west
ern education and incorporate its ad-
vantages into her school system illus
trates how an exchange of students

Another Christmas is at hand but
there is no peace on earth" and the
evidences of good will among men are
sadly lacking. Those who would bring
about peace, contentment and happi-
ness in the world should reconsecrate
themselves to the task of eliminating
greed and selffshness from their own
hearts and from the hearts of their
neishbors. Application of the Golden
Rule to the conduct of individuals. and
nations is as greatly needed today as
ever it was. By this alone can the
wrongs of the world be righted and
suffering and injustice be banished.
Wars, laws and strikes will not do it.
Governments, parliaments and legisla-
lures are powerless. What the world
needs is the spirit of the Master in
every human heart. And it is all 50
simple. this plan of doing unto others
rs you would that they should do unto
lou, that it is surprising that more
people do not adopt it. It IS the easiest
law to obey and live by ever written.

Prices OF almost everything are at
new high levels, including both neces-
stiles and luxuries, and while there
may be slight reaction after the hol-
idays, there are no Indications that
they will recede appreciabIy for some
time to come. Secretary of the Treas
ury Glass. in his annual report, sup
ported the contention that high prices
are due to increased demand in the
face OF a world shortage of goods
rather than to initiation of the cur
rency. His position was that currency
is issued only in response to demand
therefor as circulating medium and
that currency expansion is an effect
AMI not a cause of advancing prices.
The only remedy he suggested was
greater produo" n. and the saving of
unnecessary expenses.

Ninety per cent of the value of the
league is left in the treaty. says For
mer President Taft, Gin spite of the
reservations. The presidents state
ment that they nullify the treaty is
entirely unwarranted. 1t is a state
ment unfortunate both in its lack of
foundation and in the obstacle it forms
to future compromise" Here is a
case in which two of the country's
ablest and best informed citizens diff
fer. But President Wilson, having
been a party to the framing of the
treaty. might fairly be presumed to
know. The integrity and patriotism
