WOMEN STUDENTS

An Educational Campaign On Saturday last Miss Grace Yang, secretary of the Woman Returned Students' Club gave a lecture on "The Strength of China" at the Wu Peng Girls School, and yesterday Miss Eling Tong spoke on "Patriotism" at the Chi Sue Girls' School. Both young ladies are active in the Returned Students' Club which has started its programme of lecturing to the older school girls and the women of the various churches on current topics relating to China's modern problems. In this they are following their own programme of disseminating useful information as well as ce-operating in the popular educational movement, and have thus far met with a very favourable reception, since they are among the few returned students who have taken up the serious question of combating the general ignorance among women as to vital present day affairs of their land.

The work of different members of the club in Shanghai has attracted much attention, letters of commendation having been received from as far away as Harbin and Canton.
