Mz, Joseph Bailie, formerly Dean of the College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Nanking, and now organizing director of the Chinese Institute of—Technical Training, is leaving for England to= day by the 'MINS. Sphinx.
For the past eight years' Mr. Bailie has been endeavouring to improve the conditions of women and children workers in factories in China.

He has. been instrumental in finding positions in the U.'S. A. for over 600 students—100 of whom are now employed by the Ford Motor Ca. They, therefore, obtain the best training possible in large engineering and other industrial concerns. Ho now proposes to endeavour to place a number of students in England. Committees have been formin America and China and it is the founder's iden to form a committee in England with a view to carrying out his scheme. "Owing to new immigration laws now i force in America, it is Mr, Baille's Proposal to place a number of graduates, now at work in Anson in England in engineering and other undertakings.
