Dr. George Alexander is president of the board. The Wood-Forbes report was de- clared, despite “its recommendation of making haste slowly, a tribute to the good sense, tHe desire for knowl- edge and the idealism of the Filipino people.” The report of the mission board asserted that the Four-Power Treaty would help solve ‘‘one of the larger difficultiés that confront the Philippine program, viz., the danger of aggression by other mations. Speak- ing of the Filipino people, the report continued: “Their course of ‘active cooperation’ in the administration of the governmept is in great contrast with the non-cooperative campaign of the nationalists in India.” While deprecating the nationalist campaign in India, expressing confi- dence in British generosity .and de- claring that “a vast number of lead- ing Indians are «counseling modera- tion," the report also quoted a letter from a Christian worker in Inflia which expressed admiration for the spirit of the natienalist movement follows: Des Moines, Pledges Entered. ‘““The pledges of the national volun- teer corps, which the government has declared unlawful, take one back to Cowenanter days in Scotland. | ‘We cannot but admire such a spirit as this, nor would it be hard for us to discover the source from which they proceed. The like has never be- fore appeared in India, and would not have appeared today had not the Gospel message come here the true meaning of which perhaps people of India may help the rest of the world to understand. At the close of a Idc- ture delivered recently by a mission- ary in Bombay, the chairman, a Hin- du, said: ‘Is it not remarkable that in the whole world, the only country where a great national movement, with mapy miscalculations and Men’s grevious fallure, no doubt, has based itself avowedly on Christ's central doctrines of non-resistance to evil, should be Indla, a country which does not profess Christianity’ ?* Service Promise. The pledges referred to, as quoted in the letter, included a promise of service to “the submerged classes,and contact with them."” The letter also pointed out that equal rights for women and abolition of caste were endorsed at the annual gathering of the Soclal Reform asspclation at Ah- madabad. In China, despite banditry, corrup- tion of officlals which ‘“has never been worse,” and revolution, the re- port stated “the life of the average Chinese, mostly villagers, is jogging along about as usual.” Strained re- lations with Japan, it was added, " have been noticeably improved by the ‘Washington Conference.” The Washington Conference was also credited with dissipating much Japanese suspicion of America. Improvement Seen. In Korea an “Improvement” over conditions of a year ago was ascribed to the program of Governor General Salto, but the report added that some of the lower officials and police were “not in sympathy with his kind pur- poses.” A plea was made for harmony with the Spanish-American republics. A playground in Mexico City given to the Mexican government by the American community “at the sugges- tion of one of our missionaries” was said to have strengthened friendly re- lations. The allies were censured for ‘“per- mitting apathy, opportunism and tim- idity, the Nationalist Turks practically to dictate terms, in the Near East. ““The latest decision of the Allies,” the report added, ‘“which apparently leaves the Armenians under the sov- ereignty of the Turk seems to be shocking betrayal of justice. Nor can the United States escape responsibil- ity. The plea that she must avoid entangling alliances does not warrant her refusal to insist on fair play, when a helpless and beseeching sis- ter nation is being brutally attacked, yobbed and thrown out to dfe.” SHANGHAI EDUCATION Public Schools In- creases and Additions Must Soon Be Made To Institutions. Shanghai, May 26.—Demands for education in the public schools 6f the international settlement of Shanghai became greater in the gear 1921 than ever before in the #history of the Settlement, according to the annual report of the municipal councfl. It is held that extensive additions to present school facilities soon must bhe made to meet rapidly growing re- quirements. At the end of the year eleven schools were in operation with 1,141 foreign pupils and 1,182 Chinese pu- pils. Ten years ago only two public schools were functioning with 319 foreign pupils in one and 400 Chinese pupils in the other. Public educational expenditures for the year reached the record figure of Taels 382,287, an increase of Taels 50,000 over the preceding year. Skirts Due to Drop To Calf Within Year Philadelphia, May 26.—The hem of a woman's skirt has reached its high- est altitude, in the opinion of James H. Stone, trade publication editor, who addressed the annual convention of National Hoslery and Underwear Manufacturers’ association. He pre- | dicted further that within a year there | would be a return to longer styles— | that is, to “somewhere within the im- mediate vicinity of the calf.” In an effort to relieve certain wom- en of embarrassment, the association will endeavor to bring about a re- standardization of sizes. Members | stated that many shops, 'in order to | cater to the vanity of women,” mark their hosiery a half size smaller than it really is.

Rev. Dr. Minot Simons, head of the de- partment of church extension of the American Unitarlan assoclation said In an address at the 97th annual meet- ing today. ““The modern man {s appalled to see on every hand the most fantastic notions assoclated with religion, swaying the minds and hearts of men,"” sald Dr. Simons. ‘““We see su- perstitions of the world’'s childhood brought into the life of today, super- stitions long discredited by the world's science and yet actually tyrannizing over the souls of living men as though the natural sciences had never been born. It is amazing to see mul- titudes practically renouncing religion because of them. Truth Wil Win “Truth and nothing but the truth, can point the way back from this abyss. We must not be spiritually flabby at a time like this. The world fs in a state of moral apd spiritual confusion. Tt is appalling to think what may happen next. The world needs nothing more at the pgesent time than it needs the stabilizing in- fluence of a rational religious faith.” Reporting 10,000 new Unitarians gained as ‘‘signed-up church mem- bers” by the parishes of North Am- erica in the church membership cam- paign which ended last Easter Sun- day, Dr. Simons characterized the last year as a great year in the bulld- ing of liberal churches.
