Mrs. W. G. Hlltner (Carrie K. Shultz(
'08), spoke at vesper services last
evening on "My Chinese Neighbors."
Eunice Munson presided at the meet
ing, which was very well attended.
Mrs. Hlltner has spent the last five
years as a missionary in China. She
lived la Nanking, a city of about
400,000 Inhabitants of whom only 400
are Americans. She says that the
common idea that the Chinese are a
filthy race has no real ground. Of
course there is dirt and filth In China,
but so is there anywhere else. The
last few years of missionary work have
made a wonderful Improvement,
Quotes Talmund
A quotation from Talmund was cited
by Mrs. Hiltner as an illustration of
our attitude toward the Chinese.
"Walking on the mountain one day I
saw a form which I took to be a beast.
Ou coming nearer I saw it was a man.
Approaching still nearer I found it
was my brother. The more we ap
proach one another, the more we feel
our brotherhood."
When a missionary goes into China
one of his first hard problems is to
master the language. Mrs. Hlltner
said that at first it seemed to her al
most Impossible. Until just lately,
missionaries have had to have private
instructors, but now schools are being
founded where the best ways of learn
ing the language are being taught.
.Mrs. Hiltner says that now she can
carry on a conversation with her Chi
nese friends and can make her wants
known in the shop and stores without
' inconvenience.
Tourists' Stories
The missionaries are becoming more
i, and more to be depended upon for re
' liable information concerning the Chi-

nese. She spoke with scorn of the
tourists who "see China in three
months," and come back with such
vivid stories.
Mrs. Hiltner was secretary of the
Y. W. C. A. in 1910-11. She will re
main in Lincoln with friends until the
middle of next week.

faded away to nothing. From any
large gathering talk rises like smoke
above a camp, and in the number
there are those who are by no means
facile in talk, who are nevertheless
quick and clear eyed and able to per
form. Those who talk fast and much
are open always to the suspicion that
they let it all end then and there. Let
no man mourn if he is denied the
gift of eloquence. His work of wis
dom perhaps outgoes and outdoes the
influence of mere noisiness. He speaks
from the place that he has made. His
life is behind his counsel. His char
acter validates and verifies his opin
ions. Philadelphia Ledger.
AGED ZOOLOGIST PRESENTS
LIFE WORK TO UNIVERSITY
University of Washington. The
basis for a varied and more intimate
study of the insect life of the state of
Washington than has been possible at
the university heretofore, was laid bare
recently when Orson Bennett Johnson,
professor emeritus of zoology, gave the
university his entire entomological
collection. It is the most complete
and most valuable set of Washington
insect specimens in existence, accord
ing to Professor Kincaid, head of the
department of zoology, and may be
used to identify at once some destruc
tive insect which with independent
research might require considerably
more time.
Forty yeaVs were spent by Professor
Johnson In collecting, arranging and
cataloging his specimens. Part of the
collection, acquired by exchange, dis
plays butterflies from almost every
country on the globe.
Accessible to the Public
The most valuable feature of the
collection from the standpoint of the
investigator of the destructive insect
life of Washington, according to Pro
fessor Kincrid, is the classification of
many of the larval stages of Insect
development.
The collections will at aft times be
at the disposal of the public whether
for scientific investigation or for use
in combating destructive insects. Pro
fessor Kincaid expects to use the col
lection frequently to recognize larvae
sent him by persons throughout the
state.
Worked Till Eyes Failed
He will add new specimens to the
many thousands already in the cases.
He has always kept in touch with Pro
fessor Johnson, who is one of the pio
neer scientists of the Northwest, and
in his travels through Japan. Russia.
and Asia has gathered hundreds of
rare specimens which later were Incor
porated into the collection.
Professor Johnson, although 69
years old, worked on his mounting and
classifying until failing eyesight re
cently compelled him to give up the
work. He has not taught for twenty
years. Exchange.
WOMAN ENDOWS CHAIR
OF LAW AT MONTANA
University of Montana. The will of
Mrs. Ida Wilcox Dixon, who died in
Washington, D. Ci, August 27, en
dowed a chair in the law school of the
state university and bequeathed to the
university the residue of her estate
after all designated bequests had been
made. It is estimated that the be
quest to the school of law amounts
to more than $40,000. It is regarded
as probable that the residue from the
estate will add materially to the
amount of the beneficence.
Mrs. Dixpn was the wife of William
Wirt Dixon, who was a representative
in congress from Montana from 1890
to 1S92. For years Mr. Dixon was a
leading attorney in Butte and before
his service in congress he served in
the Montana legislature. He was a
leader in Montana's two constitutional
conventions. Exchange.
FRESHMEN WIN ANNUAL FIGHT
The annual class scrap between the
Whitman fresh and sophs, which is
held each year on the first Friday
jfternoon of the fall semester, was
won by the freshmen In the final
event. The two classes came up to
the lug-of-war, having won two events
each. Twenty-eight men were select
ed from each side to pull on each end
of the long rope which stretched
across Lacum Duckum. The sopho
mores had the advantage of position,
but the freshmen seemed to have the
better organization; for when the pis
tol was fired they gained the advan
tage on the first pull and in an unusu
ally short time the sophomores gave
way and were dragged through the
waters of the pond. There was great
joy in the freshman camp that night.
The two classes held class parties at
Reynolds hall that same evening, and
efter refreshments, united in a Joint
entertainment. All class rivalry for
the year is now at an end. Exchange.

STUPID ARTICLES BANNED
BY MINNESOTA EDITOR
University of Minnesota. The Min
nesota magazine is going to be en
tirely different this year, according to
the announcement of its newest editor,
No more "very best" themes; no more
treatises on conditions in Korea; no
more cut and dried articles that no
one but the authors read. The raaga
zine is going to get away from the
theme room and get in touch with stu
uents themselves. In connection with
the Daily, it will take up student af
fairs and be open to discussion of cam
pus life and the things we are all in
terested in. Last year many people
considered the magazine too prosy.
This year they will have a different
opinion, for only those articles will be
printeu which will be of vital interest
to everyone on the campus. Ex-change.
STUDENTS-WOULD RID CLASS
OF SINGLE WOMAN MEMBER
DePauw University. The theory of
state end socialism class at DePauw
has taken to revolutionary methods.
This class is made up of about thirty
five members, thirty-four of whom are
men. Because of the prevailing rough
ness of the masculine members, they
have seen fit to attempt elimination of
the one female by petition. The re
sult of the vote is as yet unknown.
They admit that equal suffrage is not
included in their socialism. Exchange.
