that steam-rolling tactics were used
by the Illinois delegation in swing
ing the annual elections Of the box

Prehn was not surprised to learn
that the Canadian Boxing Fedora

concerned over the threatened with
drawal of Connecticut, New Jersey
and possibly Michigan.
"As far as steam-rOlling tao.
tics at the convention are con-
cerned, ] think the election was
held very fairly. The six offices
were distributed evenly as far
as territory was concerned"
Prehn declared.
II believe that only the Eastern

of the governing positions and who
for the first time have been de-
feated in the annual elections, are
now dissatisfied and wish to form
new organization"

PULPIT APPEALING
TO CHINESE WOMEN.
Theological Schools Attracting Girl
Students as Feminist Move
ment Spreads.

NANKING (P).-The feminist move
ment in China, extending rapidly. has
reached theological education. Three
women have enrolled in the reopened
Marking Theological Seminary as regu-
lar students. Heretofore the halls of
this institution have been for men only.
The Marking incident of March, 1927,
when foreigners were attacked by Chi
nese soldiers. forced the closing of the
seminary. not only foreign members of
the faculty being driven away, but also
some of the Chinese teachers. Since
that time various teachers have been
gradually drifting back here awaiting,
the time until the school could be re-
opened. Until a few weeks ago the
buildings were used as military bar
racks.
The Nanking authorities finally man.
aged to force the military from the
buildings and the school reopened.
There was an encouring enrolment of
old and new students, and among the
latter came the three young women. All
Of them are college graduates, desiring
a religious education before they them
selves begin teaching in missionary
schools.
AS result Of the enrolment Of the
feminine students which has been re-
ceived as an innovation by the men
rather than with opposition, as was ex-
pected, it is planned to attempt to at
tract additional girl students and thus
launch a new chapter in the rapidly
changing and developing educational
procedure in China.
