FAMINE RELIEF

Tag Day in hanghai Tag Day in Shanghai on Saturday proved to be an unqualified success. This was largely due to the- persistent and untiring efforts of the local Chinese students in holding everybody up and tagging them.

From early in the morning till late at night, some 4.000 boys and girls were out looking for those who would contribute. All approached gave cheerfully and in many cases members of the peever classes, such as coolies and servants, gave readily to a fund which was to help their suffering brethren in north China. Though it was said by some that the girls were more successful than their brother students in securing money, the boys showed in every possible way that they were "doing their bit." Some students handed in tube after tube, and in a number of cases no fewer than five tubes were handed in by the same student. These were all filled. On the whole, the students did excellent work and are to be congratulated upon their success.
