Chinese youth today" said Miss
Hamilton, "is their realization OF the
necessity of education. Nothing Is
permitted to interfere with their
studies, and, when the school moves,
the students move also. They feel
it is absolutely necessary to finish
their education in order to help In
the building up of the new China.
Many of my students moved far
away from their homes to remain
until they graduated.
During one of her flights" Miss
Hamilton moved to Hankow, where
she taught at Central China College
for about three months. Here she
received her baptism of fire under
japanese bombers.
"Air raids were staged by the jap
anese twice q week." she said. In
fact, it became really amusing. They
seemed to have chosen Tuesdays and
Fridays, and regularly on those days,
at about tea time, we could look for
an air raid"

here, went to China in the fall of
1885 through the Oberlin-Shansi
Teaching Fellowship. She had re-
ceived her degree of bachelor of
school music from Oberlin College,
Oberlin, Ohio, shortly before, and
went to China to teach English and
music to the Chinese students at the
co-educational schools conducted by
Oberlin College in Shansi Province.
During her two years in China,
Miss Hamilton was obliged to move
with the college five times to diff
ferent locations in order to escape
the invading japanese Army. Upon
her arrival, she went to Taiku, in
Shansi Province about 900 miles
from Peiping, where she Joined the
faculty about two miles from the
city. With the exception of one
other young woman teacher, two
men teachers, and the wives Of a
very small group of American busi-
nessmen living some distance from
the college. her only associations
were with Chinese students. At one
time, when her fellow American
teachers were away, Miss Hamilton
was the only American on the cam
pus. She never got lonely or home
sick, she declares, finding life too
interesting and full of adventure,
with excitement increasing monthly
after the Japanese invasion OF
China.
Invasion Changes Costume.
"It was amazing to see the change
that came over China after the
japanese started to invade China,
she said when I first arrived at
Taiku, the girl students wore the
regular long coat costume worn by
Chinese women. The next year,
they were wearing the Girl Scout
uniform, while the boys also adopted
the Scout uniform"
Nine. Chang Kai-shek was largely
responsible for the change in dress
which was but part of the practical
program of China's first lady to
effect q moderniZed and unified
China, Miss Hamilton said.
The japanese invasion has Ger
tainly helped to unity China. she
continued. "All that my students
we're talking about when 1 left
China was national unity and ma
tional salvation"
At the beginning of her stay, Miss
Hamilton said, there were frequent
bandit scares in Shansi province,
with reports of dangerous bands OF
Communists moving towards Talku,
threatening the peace OF the COM
munity. At one time all the girls
and women of the college were
obliged to leave the school at night
and seek refuge in the walled city
of Taiku, to escape the approaching
bandits.
Army Assimilates Outlaws.
The strange thing" said Miss
Hamilton. rs that those very same
bandits have become the backbone
of the now unified Chinese Army.
As to the Chinese Communists, they
are a very different people from
the Russian Communists. They are
really co-operatives and not Com
munists"
English is now taught in all the
schools of China. Miss Hamilton
said, and no Chinese student can
graduate from high school without
six years of English to his credit.
1t was not believed the jap
anese would penetrate as far as
Shansi province in their Chinese oc-
cupat ton. Miss Hamilton continued,
but when it was realized they were
the school authorities decided to
move Oberlin, finally settling a
thousand miles westward in Szech-
wan province.

the prisoners stubbornness. They
ate heartily.
