Mahlon H.Day,Missionary,Tells
of Mongolian’s Friendship
For United States
Although he believes Japan is ob
viously making every effort to gain
control of all available Chinese ter
ritory. that the Japanese will never
be able to absorb China is the opin
ion of Rev. Mahlon M. Day, home
secretary of the Canton Christian
college, of Canton, China, who is
visiting Eugene and the Oregon cam
pus for a few days. Itev. Mr. Day
is a former resident of this city, and
was graduated from the University
of Oregon in 1898. He recently re
turned to the United States from
China.
“Certainly the Japanese are try
ing to get their hands on everything
China owns,” he said, “buG the great
differences in the natures of the two
peoples make me believe they will
never succeed to any great extent.
REV. MAHLON H. DAY
The Shantung matter is a good ex
ample of the cleverness of the Jap
anese methods. Present indications
are (hat they will endeavor to take
a bite out of Siberia on the pretext
of crushing Bolshevism.”
China Friendly to U. S.
China, Mr. hay said, is very friend
ly toward America and Americans.
The Chinese realize, he pointed out,
that the United States is the only
great power that never lias taken a
foot of Chinese soil. They believe'
that American aid is not given wlth^
a view to fostering selfish motives—
a fact which will help this country
tremendously in trading 'with theirf
Japanese goods have been boycotted
and the Chinese are demanding
American made articles at the present
\ time.
/ It' left alone, the Chinese would
have organized a stable government
during the time since their revolu
tion in 1911, Mr. hay believes. Their
failure to succeed in this hxs humil
iated them greatly, and they are de
termined that their rising generation
and the inns to follow shall he well
educated.
"In assisting them with their edu
cational work, the missionary per
haps plays Ills biggest part," Mr. hay
continued. His work is in no way
forced on the Chinese, and large
sums have been contributed by the
natives to he used in constructing
educational buildings, instructors’
houses, and structures of like nature.
Schools Are Prosperous
More than GOO Chinese students
are registered in the school with
which Mr. Day is associated. On the
campus arc lit! permanent buildings.
A faculty of ’.la American members
amt a like number of Chinese is in
charge. A tuition fee of $150 is
Charged each student who must pay
all of hi* own expenses.
Five dormitories, an infirmary, and
approximately $'-'’0,000 have been do
nuteil to the school by f hiuesc, Mi.
Day said.
Mr. hay expects to leave Kugene
Monday for his homo in New York
city.

Enrollment In Household Arts
Department Much Larger
Than Last Term
Students in the new class in Home
nursing in the household arts depart
ment will receive the Red Cross cer
tificate as a home nurse as well a3
their University credits, according to
Miss Lilian Tingle, head of that de
partment. Household budgets is an
other new course which has been add
ed this term. The enrollment in this
department shows a decided increase
this term over last, according to Miss
Tingle, and more equipment is being
i added to the laboratory.
The course in home-nursing which
will be given by Miss E. May Sibald
at the Univerjjty infirmary, has nev
er been offered before. The class j
will be limited to twelve members. It)
is a one-term course for upper-class
women and will co-ordinate with the
course “care of children’’ which will
be offered in the spring term.
Household budgets will deal with
the business of the household and with
the management of finances. “This
course is a very important one,” said
Miss Tingle, “as it will give training
in spending and saving and lack of
such training is a defect n the educa
tion of J;he girl of today.”
The most popular courses, judging
from the number enrolled in them,
are the home and home decoration,
textiles and dress designs, and house
wifery
The new laboratory has been ar
ranged as near the unit kitchen or
home kitchen idea as possible. This,
said Miss Tingle, is to give the girls
conditions to work under similar to
those of a home. The old laboratory
which is practicaly a home kitchen,
is used by girls who are working out
special problems.
Food values and food judgments
will be taken up in the food economics
classes, with special topics in the
cooking clases will consist of bread
making, baking, meal planning and
meal service.

wood, violin instructor in the School
of Music. The purpose of the course
is to develop the student’s ability j
for sight reading, to teach the liter
ature of symphonies and famous over
tures and the art of acompanying.
The course, in general, will deal
with present development along mus
ical lines.

ble to all, so that America will not
be alone in her stand against the
league is a populr opinion.
Statements of some of the students
are:
"Slim” Crandall, Varsity yell king,
favors ratification of the Treaty and
the League, but only with specific
reservations as voted by the major
ity of the senate. “It is not only
my belief that this is the best stand,
but I feel that the ultimate result
will be toward an immediate settle
ment.”
Eddie Dumo, Qregop’s midget bas
ketball star, says: “I withhold my
statement till Wednesday. The League
of Nations is secondary to our win
ning the Whitman game.”
Herm Lind, another basketball
enthusiast says: “You can use your
own Judgment, that is what I am
going to do.” Both Durno and Lind
were so engrossed in the outcome ot
the game that topics of a political
nature were not of great importance
to them.
Forest Watson, law student and
golfer, says: "I. believe in a league
of nations. It should be ratified at
the earliest possible date, and in the
way which is satisfactory to all con
cerned.”
Kenneth Lancefield says: “I feel
that there should be reservations but
the fundamental thing is to get it
settled.”
Bill Steers, famous gridiron war
rior, says: “She should . go as she
stands. I have great faith in Wil
son. I do not believe in a third term'
but what he does in conjunction with
the brainiest men of all nations is
good enough for me.”
Louise Davis: “I am in favor of
the peace treaty if Japan does not
get Shantung, and I am not in favor
of it otherwise.”
Ella Rawlings: "I favor ratification
of the League and Treaty without
amendments or reservations. This
is the idea of President Wilson, who
is capable of carrying out the res
ponsibilities of the nation.”
