To the Editor of the "aNorra-CHina Day. News'?
SiR,—May I request the favour of your columns to reproduce a part' of a letter just received from the "Feathered © World, 9 Arundel Street, London, which reads as follows:
'We are always pleased to hear'
from Fanciers from far-away and we should be glad to know if there is a poultry Society with you and if 80 if you can give us the name and address of the Secretary.
As T am not aware of any such Society existing in Shanghai, I would appreciate very much any information that could be given by readers of your esteemed paper who are interesting themselves in pout-
Than ing you for the space, to uniting "man and brute in a bond of brotherhood." Any policy the "Recorder" has is along the line of the ultimate substitution of ral suasion for brute force.
uch progress. has been made along this line,—wives are no longer cartied off by physical force; parents have more constraining methods than force in bringing up their: children (except as a last resort); in penology considerable advance has been made since Charles Reade wrote "It's Never Too Late to Mend," and surely in the matter of war, we are advancing to a time when there will be bonds of brotherhood that will leave the brute away the dim past.
