East High Street Club
With Tuesday afternoon, came the
close of the East High street club pro-
gram for 1928, and with it the con-
clusion of a most helpful and fascin-
ating years study of great and mys-
terious country-India.
! Each member responded to the roll
call with one outstanding fact that she
had learned about this years work.
The program followed achieve
ments of Modern India"
The first subdivision was Science
and was well prepared and read by
Mrs. Ina Crabbe. By the middle OF
the nineteenth century, development
and program had been made along
these lines, and every effort was being
made to educate the people for public
service. One of the greatest marks
of scientific progress is the vast ano
efficient system of canals and irriga.
tion. There are $4,000 square miles
under irrigation and $4,000 square
miles in canals. Another great achieve.
ment of engineering skill is the bridge
building. The largest bridge in the
world, composed of SO spans and 10(
feet in each span, is found in India
Scientific agriculture is increasing fol
80 per cent of India's mass follow thi:
trend.
The second paper was thorough
one on Education" read by Mrs. Mar.
Rosnagle. No country, the world owe
presents SO many obstacles to educa
ton as does India. From 1815-191
an argument was waged between tw'
groups of enthusiasts. One that edu
, cation should be secured through TIL
i. medium of the native language; th
other favoring the English tongue
After the World war India began t
investigate her educational system AM
soon afterwards established an effec
tive fve-year program for primar,
education. With the rise of her po
+, litical consciousness, India has becom
most effective in her survey Of educa
, tional needs.

very interesting talk on 'Trade an
Industry" Pepper and spices forme

, India. India today has, next to the I
S., the largest internal system of fre
trade, in the world. With the compile
tion of $4,000 miles of railroad an
many more of bus lines, we realiz

main imports are machinery, minera
oils, electrical apparatus, sugar, ett
Her most important exports are: jute
leather, tea, rice, linseed, etc. Sine
1853, India has made great strides to
ward the three goals upon which eco
nomic welfare is based-peace, secul
ity and cooperation.
