The largest attendance ever recorded at a tin of the Anglo-American Associa tion of Peking was present on April 25th to bear Dr. Rabindranath Tagore give his first public talk in Peking. While Sir Fratis Aglen presided, he asked Dr. Schurman (the American Minister) to make the introductory speech.
Dr. Tagore, who wore his native car-
tume, spoke in a soft pleasing voice, apologising for his English, of which in reality he is a master. He selected as his topic the genesis of his educational in 3stitution, which bears the Sanskrit name of Viava-Bharati and is located in Bengal, not far from Calcutta He said it was established to give expression to his ideal and was opened twenty four years, ago with but five students which have now increased to two hundred.
