Secretary Speaks of Personal Experiences in Foreign Land lrma Appleby, secretary of the university Y. W. C. A., gave a talk on her Impressions of India at Ves pers services held at Ellen Smith hall Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock. Miss Appleby spoke from personal experience as she was one of the three representatives sent by the United States to the World Chris tian Student movement. India is a land or fascinating and infinite varieties, according to Miss Appleby who spent six months there studying problems of the In dian people. It is not so much the linguistic or racial differences that divide the people of India as differ ences of religion. The chief reli gions found in India are, Hindu, Mohammedan, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain Christian and Parsee. The native Christians of India total about 4, 000,000 people. Many Are Restricted The restrictions which surround members of caste are Innumerable. Each caste may be distinguished by their dress and religion may also be determined from their manner of dress. There are two thousand different castes In India, and this accounta for the many political dif ficulties that arise. At the present time the chief leader or Indian politics is Gandhi, an Indian prince. Unbelievable poverty reigns for the most, part In India, and the per capita for each person per year is J20. Miss Appleby closed her talk with several sketches of Indian life and the daily customs of the In dian people. Ruth Davis, former president of the Y. W. C. A., led the meeting for the evening.
