Accordingly the leading church
boards If England, America. and
Canada united, in 1918, and estab-
lished the first of these high-grade
Union Christian colleges at Madras
India.
The success which attended the
Madras venture led to the organiZa-
ton of a committee for the purpose
of securing cooperation among the
women's church mission boards OF
the United States and Canada in
their work along educational lines
for the ONE of China, India and
Japan. From these boards a joint
committee on the Union Christian
Colleges for the Women of the
Orient was formed. Seven colleges
were accepted to be the beneficiaries
of the cooperative boards, but before
their final acceptance Miss Pendle-
ton, Wellsley's president, at the in
vitation of the committee, went to
China and Japan and made a thor
ough study of the colleges. Upon
her return Miss Pendleton gave the
colleges her unqualified endorsement
and they were accordingly accepted
by the cooperating boards. The
eve colleges are Ginning College,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-China
wants a league of Pacific nations.
Sceptical because so many times
stung despite formal agreements
with regard to her integrity, China
will, ask the arms conference here
before IL adjourns to authorize some
Kind of international body to en-
force its mandates.
Foreign Minister w. w. Yen, di-
recting mind of the Chinese delega-
ton. himself favors an association
of court, composed of the Pacific
powers, to sit at Shanghai or some
other Chinese city.
This court. Yen says, would in
terpret the findings of the Pacific
conference and hear disputes as
might arise hereafter between the
powers over Far Eastern questions.
This court need not necessarily
be final" DIR. Yen told me, in de-
scribing his plan in Picking. "a dis
satisfied disputant would have the
right to take his case to the court
of international justice for final ad-
judication. However, I believe that
in most cases this lower or Pacific
court-which in effect would be a
sort of '%carry-on' body of the Pa
ciic conference-could settle the
difficulties amicably."

1t is surprising how many men and
women, too. consider themselves too
busy to bother about daily exercise.
Some of them actually salve heir
conscience by a determination to
make up for their loss of exercise
Saturday afternoon.
In order to live a hygienic life, 1t
is necessary that the body should
at times be active and at other
times inactive. The whole PERSONAL
ity should be utilized and energized
in a daily rhythm. When, as too
often happens, the equilibrium and
proportion of the various elements
in a well rounded life have been lost.
the balance should be restored If
possible the next day.
If you have lost a certain amount
of sleep one night. you usually try
to make up for IL the next. If the
morning or afternoon exercise has
had to be omitted. an extra amount
should be taken as soon as possible.
But to let it all go to the very
end of the week is absurd. If any
attempt is sincerely made to make
up the exercise at such a time, the
benefits of exercise would be lost.
Rather would the individual be
harmed by such methods. for he
would fatigue himself and lay him
self open to easy infection because
of lowered powers of resistance. 1t
is ideal to make the day. not the
week, the unit in which all duties
are performed.
There is an example of which ]
heard in a college in this locality.
Certain of the college men had neg
lected TO attend gymnasium classes
during the school term. According
ly, when he term ended they were
pronounced deficient because of alb
sence. They We're, however. al
lowed to make up" their term re-
quirements by passing a rigid ex-
animation in what are known as
track and gymnastic exercises. They
went through these examinations in
one day.
The result was that several lost
as much as 10 pounds and all were
in a thoroughly fatigued condition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25:-A plan
to maintain seven colleges for
women in the Far East by American
support, and especially by having
each of these oriental colleges
adopted by an American women's
college, is now under way. A good
deal of money has already been
raised. and drives ia all parts of the
country are planned for this winter.
A Washington drive was recently
held under the patronage of women
of high position in official society.
This plan represents an attempt
on the part of western women to
carry the movement for education
and equal rights for ONE into
that part of the world where mas
culine domination is most complete.
In the Orient higher education for
women was a thing unheard of until
a few years ago. In addition to their
seclusion, an almost hopeless hand
leap to higher education for the
women of India and China is found
in the early marriage customs of
these countries. In India 10 per cent
of the girls become mothers by the
time they have reached ten years of
age, and so per cent. of them are
mothers under fifteen years of age.
1t is to be remembered, too, that
this is in a country where high caste
women cannot be treated by male
physicians, and where women doc
tors are almost unknown outside of
mission stations. What the East
Indian women have suffered in con-
sequence need not be dwelt upon
here, nor is it surprising under these
conditions that but l per cent of
midas 165, O0O, 900 women can read.
In China more than 90 per cent
of the women are illiterate. In
Japan conditions are brighter, but
unlike the men who go from the
middle school to college and often
from college to university, the Japa-
nese girls education often stops
with the middle school or even earl
Ter. This is not surprising when it
is recalled that the japanese gov
eminent supports thirty-three insti-
tutions of learning of university
grade for men students and but one
institution of college grade for all
the girls of Japan.
Until recent years the small
schools maintained by church mis-
sion boards were the only education-
al provision which vas made for the
girls of the Orient. They began about
my SIato dSOs at dbOQl blC AAlllC
Vassar College was started, and at
that time the boards We're weak and
insignificant organizations them
selves. While the results of the
schools established by the mission
boards have been encouraging in the
extreme. yet the individual boards
were never able financially to estab-
lish colleges and high-grade medical
schools. They had not the money
TO equip nor to run them. The mis-
sion boards realized tho folly of try
ing to u poor sectarian schools,
when by uniting their efforts they
might establish strong union Chris
tian colleges and give the girls of
the Orient the same educational ad-

rest, but provides no machinery for
carrying out this policy. the Celes-
tial republic will be left pretty much
where she was at the beginning.
The Chinese point out that every
one of the great powers Immediately
accepted the open door principles
laid down by the American seere-
tary of state. John Hay. and all
have stoutly insisted about once a
year regularly since 1900 that they
still adhere to them, fully and abso-
lutely, yet almost none of these ma
lions has really lived up to its prom
ise.
What China now demands Is
something more than mere promises
or perfunctory agreements. Any
mum Der of treaties have been signed
safeguarding China. The Anglo
Japanese alliance, to name one, spe-
clhcally guaranteed China's in
volatility.
And all the time China has been
steadily and systematically de-
spoiled.
Now China insists that in addition
TO promises, the conference shall do
something to make the promises
stick.
That is the meaning of the tenth
point in China's outline for her case:
provision is to be made for fu-
ture conferences t. be held from
time to time for the discussion of
international questions relative to
the Pacific and Far East as a basis
for determination of common poll
cies of the signatory powers in re-
lation thereto"

FIRE COMPANIES; POLITICS

not so in Bible lands. There houses
were built of loose stones held to-
gether with mud cement. There was
not much to burn. There is nothing
in the Bible about houses on fire.
But they had many fires in Rome.
What do you think Trajan replied
to Pliny?
He told him to buy the fire engine,
but not to organize the fire COM
pany. He said that a company of
that sort would be sure to get into
politics and to make trouble!
That shows, of course, how fear
full the Roman emperors were OF
even small gatherings of the people,
in the day of Rome's imperial great
ness.
But 1t also illustrates that men
organized to put out fires which
occur with great irregularity, or for
any other purpose which leaves
them with time to think and talk,
must think and talk about some
thing: and Traian was sure that they
would talk politics!
Rome was a very modern old town
