LINCOLN, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1919. lMtK.'K FIVE CENTS MISS GOPPOCK TELLS OF WORK IN ORIENT jliss Drake Receives Interesting Letter from National Secre tary in China. Visit to Foochow Was Gieat Sat isfaction City Changed Since Last Visit. Miss Grace Ooppock, national secre tary in China, wrote the following let ter to Miss Fannie Drake of the uni versity Y. W. V. A.: My visit to Foochow was a great satisfaction in many ways. Before speaking of our particular interest there. 1 must say that H was a great surprise to me to find that the city had changed so much since my last visit. When I was there two years ago, there were about twenty rickshas in the whole of Foochow and one horse road had been built out through the paddy fields from the gate of the native city to the foreign section of the island. These lew rickshas were more a novelty than anything else at that time. Sedan chairs were the ac cepted mode of travel and now the sedan chair is almost wholly passed. Many of the principal streets are paved and rickshas" are everywhere used. N'ot only this, but motor busses , have regular routes through the native city and to the foreign settlement. I saw our own residence for the first time since its completion. I was pleased in every way with it. It is not only attractive and homelike, but one of the mission builders in Foo chow who recently inspected it told Miss Harshaw that it is the best built residence in Foochow. For this we have to thank Mr. Dennis of the Young Men's Christian Association for his untiring services in overseeing the consi ruction of it. Headquarters Investigated The committee is at present investi gating the matter of headquarters for the association. I reported last month that the house at present occupied has been found too unsuitable. This is largely due to the fact that the city has changed during the last tew years. The street on which their present headquarters is located was not one fortunate enough to be paved. It is in a Very bad state of repairs and has become a very unimportant street. The activities at present con sist of a regular weekly meeting on Thursday afternoons which is pre ceeded by a group of women doing Red Cross work, then a social and then a talk of some sort. I spoke the first Thursday I was there. There were eighty-five women present, only fifteen of whom were Christian. You can well understand with this propor tion what an undertaking the associa tion win have in Christianizing wo men -wbo frequent the association. At preiion! it seems there will be no ques tion about duplicating the 'work of the church if women of this tyje con tinue their interest in the association. They represent the highest classes in the city and almost wholly untouched by Christianity. 1 was interested to find how much Mandarin is used in Foochow. A Mrs. Ling whom I met at the Thursday meeting, a Hunanese woman who had recently come in touch with Chris tianity and who is an inquirer in the Anglican church asked me to go with her to call on some Mandarin families. ut of the five women we called upon, four attended the next Thursday's noting. Miss Steel-Brooke and I also called at the home of the former salt commissioner where Maudarin i alo spoken. I had the opportunity a'o of attending the seventieth birth day party of the head of the gentry in Foochow. a man who for years has conducted the Confucian worship. Here also. Mandarin w fonnd to be useful. 'i-t ising never pays a man who Y nothing to sell. The world will end some day with ' '"' of good folks asleep E. J. MARSH ADDRESSES ENGINEERING SOCIETY The elretrical engineering society wis addressed by K. J. Harsh, general manngnr of the Lincoln Gase and Elec. trie Company, who snfko on "The Rusines sof Engineering." Ills talk was strictly front a business stand point, emphasizing the needs of the young engineer in starting out in the business world. An Illustrated lecture upon the tight of the Panama Canal was also given, the slides being fur nishedby the General Electric Com pany. They showed the various phases of electrical power and light ing systems employed in the construc tion and maintenance of the Panama Canal.

Growth of School of Commerce Has Been Rapid Since Its Recent Beginning. The bill creating a college of busi ness administration at the University of Nebraska has finally passed both houses of the state legislature by wide margins, and is now awaiting the signature of Governor McKelvie. The necessity for a college of commerce instead of merely a school or depart ment responsible to the college of sciences and arts, was brought about by the students themselves. The following table shows the num ber of students and graduates during the past five years in the school of commerce and graphically illustrates the point that this heavy registration combined with an unlimited interest in the department's wofk has made a college of business administration needful : Number Number Students Graduates 1913- 1914 40 4 1914- 1915 173 4 1915- 1916 196 6 1916- 1917 275 6 - 1917- 191S 158 14' 1918- 1919 (first se mester only) .... 330 These figures show a very rapid in crease in registration up to the year 1916-1917, but the next year showed a decrease due to the war. The pres ent enrollment, however, is larger than at any other previous time, and there is every reason to expect a greatly increased registration next fall. The number of students last se mester were fifty-five more than the previous banner year of 1916-1917. "The growth of the school of com merce has been so rapid since its re cent beginning as to tempt one to say that it has filled a long-felt want," says Professor LeRossignol, "but - to be more precise, made provision for a need that was not felt because never satisfied." Means Larger Faculty The new college of business ad ministration will mean a new inde pendent college at the university, with a larger faculty, and with larger equipment than before. Next fall when school opens almost the entire third floor of the new Social Science building will be given over to com mercial work, and this will be the new home of the new college of busi ness administration. The action originating the bill pro posing this college was taken at the request of practically all the leading business organizations of the state as the Federation of Nebraska Retailers, Nebraska Manufacturers' Association Association of Chambers of Com merce, Lincoln Rotary Club, and Lin coln Credit Men's Association. The bill was approved in its infancy by the Chancellor and the Regents of the university. Several new lines of work will be added to the department's curriculum next fall. Work in business organi zation and citizenship will then be emphasized, and work in finance de veloped to a much greater extent than it is at the present time. A bureau of business research, corresponding to the bureau of agricultural research at the farm, would also be a valuable addition to the work in economics. CONVOCATION The Kiltie Division of the Allied War eVterans Military Band gave a short concert in Memorial Hall Thurs day morning at 11:30 instead of 11. as they hp-d been advertised. Short talks by Captain Carter and other members of the band entertained the audience until the arrival of the Scotchmen. Bagpipes, trap and bass drums fur nished the music.

Salter, Wertz, Bates, Perry, and Monte Munn carried off the medals and jerseys in the annual all-university wrestling tournament in the Armory last night. Most of the bouts were fast and scrappy and up to the finals two matches were staged simultaneously. The champions will all be back in the game next year and will be right there with the class. The heavyweight match turned out to be a family affair with the two Munn brothers on the mat. Monte had little difficulty in handling Wade, but it was a fierce scrap while it lasted. Perry and Pickwell both eliminated their men in the preliminaries of the 175. but neither could they succeed in throwing the other in three bouts. Perry won the first by decision, but the second round was a fierce grap ple with the honors split fifty-fifty. Referee Troendly's decision was loud ly cheered bv the crowd. The third bout was a toss up for the first three minutes, but Perry's aggressiveness mrned the tide and won the decision. Bates Wins 158 Pound Class The 158 pound class took the prize with the largest number of bouts. Seven marches were battled out be fore the finals were reached. Bates and Russell were the final contenders and Bates took the money. The punishment of his scissors proved too much for "Russ" in the first rratch and he succumbed after a hard fight Wertz walked away with 145 pound honors by winning three straight Calls. He eliminated Walsh in 33 seconds in the preliminaries and sub dued Morrill by two successive half nelsons in the finals.
