The call to commerce, to the sci­ence of big business and the art ofgetting bread and butter, is very ur­gent in China, if Hon. Julian Arnoldis to be believed. He spoke last night GIVES EVERY l\IE�lBER CHAl�CEat a public meeting of the Chinese"!Students' club in Ellis assemblyroom. Fifteen years' in China ha vemade him familiar with commercialand industrial conditions in that• country. He holds the position ofattache to the American legation inPeking. ,"Business in China," said Mr. A::-nold, "is still a system of individualenterprise and jealous, SUSpICIOUScompetition. China continues to beknown as a nation of shop-keepers.Big business and commercial co-oper­ation are .unknown there. This con­dition is due to a 'number of things.The, Chinese merchant's bookkeepingis poor: it is largely a matter' ofmemory. rrhen, too, the people havenot learned to co-operate unselfishlyin the common interest of their busi­ness. The merchant guild, it is true,has done effective work in some direc­tions. but little toward the construe­tive development of big business.l\lust Change Many Laws."Many laws will hare to be chang­ed before Chinese commerce can re­gain its share of importance in t�. trade of the world. Again, the Chi-,nese, obedient to a very 'human pro-, pensity, are not far:-sighfed. Theyare blinded to future opportunities by ,immediate chance of small financialgain.

Men and women incollege are presumed to be able tolook after themselves and take ad­vantage of the opportunities which .attendance in a university affords.The generally accepted idea of whatprompts young men and women toenter an educational. institution isthat they desire to secure a trainingwhich will enable them to be of moreservice to the world and to them­selves when they leave the academiclife. This idea is not always follow­ed, 3R we all know, but is often lostin the search for a "good time":some people feel that classes interfereWith tlleir social activities..Classes are not always interesting-they cannot be. But they all pre-• sent knowledge which we should notlose, and cannot afford to lose. Weare here to learn, and no oPPOrtunityto achieve .this result should, bethrown to the winds. Many men failmerely because they do not attendcl3Sses regularly; these men ha veability and brains, but lack persever­enee and regularity..Be on the job all the tlme, One big. job of the student is to attend hisclasses.,!t (;A TIMELY ·MOVE.'l1le action of the' undergraduatecOllDcil in deciding to elect the wo­men leaders of the Washington prom­. en9de is worthy of much commenda­tion.
