WOMEN in BRITAIN ARE

sibillties of engineering for the edu-

Women's engineering societies are
springing UP in the larger manufac-

woman need fear lack of employment
in this branch when she has success

Miss Drummond. who is a grand

Hackney, is now chief engineer ON a

ply for license as sea captain. But
in spite of her success, English edu-

they are urged to choose the electrical
branch of the profession.

Study Of Ancient
Chinese Culture

China nothing can be definitely fore
told Of the extent of its travels. Po-
itical disturbances may interfere Sc
riously with much that should be ac-
complished, and the government at
Picking is able to furnish the Fogg mu-
scum with no definite assurance that
its representatives will be able to
carry on their proposed investigations.
1t is believed to be certain, however,
that enough opportunities will be
found to repay the first years work
and to pave the way for return trip.

ninety-eight years old and is still

can be credited to keeping cool and

Fogg Museum of Harvard Is
Sending Trio Of Scientists on
Exploring Expedition.

Cambridge, Mass-The Fogg Art
Museum of Harvard is sending three
men to China for exploration and re-
search. The force will consist of Lang
con Warner, 03, who, until recently,
was director of the Pennsylvania mu-
scum; II. H. F. Jayne, 20, assistant
curator of that institution, and Dun
can McDougall, son of DIR. William
McDougall, professor of psychology at
Harvard.
The work will consist largely of a
preliminary survey in central and
western China and will probably last
not more than eight months in the
field. Mr.. Warner, who is in charge of
the expedition, hopes to make con-
siderable progress in determining the
kiln sites of the Sung dynasty and to
visit some of the rock grottoes con-
tanning Buddhist sculptures of the
Fifth and Sixth centuries A. d. A
comprehensive series of rubbings from
inscribed and decorated stone mOnu-
ments and q considerable number of
hitherto obtainable, are expected to be
secured for the Fogg museum. 1t is
hoped also that two or three important
examples of early architecture still
existing in northern China and Man
churia, which are fast falling to ruin,
will be thoroughly measured and
photographed

rubbings, measurements and other
materials for the study of early and
medieval Chinese Culture. If the re-
suits of the preliminary trip warrant
it, excavations will be undertaken next
year, if the consent Of the Chinese
government is obtained.
The Importance of such work is ap-
parent, the Fogg museum authorities
declare, when it is realized that, al
though Europe and America are ia
miliar with the contents of early
Chinese tombs, for which fabulous
sums are paid by collectors and mu-
seuns, no tomb with it's contents un-
disturbed has been recorded and pho
tographed by responsible scientist.
