yival of educational work for adults which was carried on with remarkable success in the British army. But the movement in England was already a great force before the war, having nationwide organization of tutorial classes in every considerable center of population. The gigantic strides, made by their pioneer organization, the Workers Educational association, constitute one of the most inspiring aspects of modern English life.
 Today a new organization, the World Association for Adult Education, has been found, which is destined to play a leading part in the future development of the movement in this and other countries The World association has for it's aim to assist adult educa ational movements and institutions all over the world and to promote cooperation, be- tween them. It owes it's existence to the inspiration of Albert Mansbridge, for so many years the moving spirit in the WorKers' Educational association, who is it's chairman. It is now working un- der a provisional constitution. There is council, appointed for three years, which includes representatives of Great Britain and the British dominions, France, China, Czecho-Slovakia, Serbia, Spain and the United States. An ad- visory committee of educational experts is being built up on a world basis.

Companies having in force more than 95 per cent of the 60,0o0000 insurance policies issued on American lives have signified an intention to send representatives to the convention. The convention will mark the seventy-fifth year of Ameri- can insurance.
 Tn giving due attention to the 75-year span which American life insurance has achieved. says the announcement, 'the convention will consider the extent to which that institution has stimulated in dividual and national thrift in this coun- try, with a view to developing additional means of using it as a savings agency at time when the people must econo- mize. in order to successfully meet the establishments following the war"
 The consideration of taxation and it's relation to national development will oc- cupy prominent place on the pro- gramme, the effect of present taxes on business generally, and on life insurance in particular, being discussed.

GO TO CALIFORNIA
Large Number of Immigrants Are
 Journeying Westward
By Associated Press

Chicago. November N.-Large numbers
 or immigrants from Europe are going to
 California, according to w. J. Black,
 Passenger traffic manager of the Santa
 fe system He said they are mostly
 aliens who returned to Europe to fight Tor their native countries
 The California-bound immigrants are
 chiefly French, Italians and Greeks, who
 are very good agriculturalists and find in the vineyards and orchards of Call fornia the best opportunity for their acllities, Mir. Black said
 Now that the war is over most of them are coming back. and they are furnishing California with the largest stream of immigration I think it has ever
 had This has been going on some six
 months and increasing slowly. I be-
 iieve they average between 600 and 750 a mcnth''
 The immigrant trains that used to be run to Chicago before the war have not
 been resumed. Mir. Black said. One req son, he said, was that there were not enough immigrants to justify them, and another reason was that the Pullman 1 tourist car was taking their place. From information gathered from rail-
 roads here it does not appear that many immigrants coming west are settling on farms. Some plans are being considered by roads, F. w. Halligan. assistant to
