As the company is amply protected by the bond of s responsible rety company to an amount largely in excess of any pos- sible shortage, the company will su: tain no loss and its financial strength Is In no way affected. Mr. Ramshaw has been connected with the bank for two and a half years end has been a hard worker. He was_formerly connected with a bank in New Jersey but gave up work there on account of 111 health.

I found myself in Japan a number of years ago when the women there were trying to establish a university. They struggled and finally they were able to have their building. They built it o accommodate flve “hundred women students;, When they came to hold examinations to emter the unmi- versity they found that one tho women had passed the examination. Women in Japan. Japan has established one of the finest school systems in the world. In one particular -respect they have placed it beyond the dominion of any party in politics. “When a politician goes out of office he does not take the school system on his shoulders and carry it out; it remains there. So women in Japan are having the ad- vantage of education precisely the same as the men are. They have or- ganized themselyes into women's clubs. They have set into action all of those things that are engaging the attention of all .women throughout the entire world. Progress in China. The women in China have organiza- tions. The higher class of women in China have had their feet bound and you will see leaders in the women's clubs carried to the meeting, not be- ing able to walk because of their crip- pled feet. In traveling throughout the world you will be astonished to find that there never has been a time when men really stood out to legislate against women, or to keep them in slavery. The feet of the women of China were bound/ to keep them off the streets, to protect them from the out- side world. I have talked with the women of the aborigines in Australia and asked them why these customs prsvail and they have invariably told me that it would be dangerous for women if they did do this or that. I don't believe that in any part of the world men have ever enacted legislation to keep us down. In India there are three women in a university, the only ones in the country. Women in India are com- ing slowly, organizing clubs, going to universities, entering higher schools, are on the broad road of Progress. Iceland Leads in Education. The people of Iceland are the most highly educated people in the world. Bvery child in Iceland is educated. When the child cannot go to school the school is brought to the child.

One of the windows of the H. C. Mur- rey company attracted much attention all day Wednesday, especially from the small boys.
