CRITICISMS OF BRITISH RANKINGS.
[United Press.)
Myers is recognized as one of the leading authorities on the sport, and his annual rankings are ac septed throughout the world as semi-oficial. He has named the ten men and the ten women who, in his opinion, lead the world at tennis, ranking them in the order of their ability as he sees it.
This year, as for three years past, the honours are divided between France and the United States ia the men's singles and between the United States and Great Britain in the women's division.
Henri Cochet, of France, has- heen placed at the head of the list of the ten mer, opposite Helen Willa, of California, who leads the women.

The OBL
There seems to be same room for. dissension in that list, although it is more than likely that the official ranking of the United States Lawn! Tennis Association this year will deviate only slightly. thing that impresses American ten- nie fans is the absence of Wilmer Allison, whose victory over. Lott was one of the features of the re- cent American Championships."
Allison's friends also regard his fine work in the Davis Cup doubles, with Van Hyn, as a garge of his calibre. Doeg's high ranking was evidently based upon his fine show- ing in the National Tournament, when he forced Tilden to five sets io the semi-finale
Those who saw the National Tournament will consider the selbe tian of H. W. (Eunny) Austin as the ninth ranking star as the most debatable" of all the selections. Austin showed nothing in the American title race to warrant bis selection among the ten best players in that meet, much less in the entire world.
Besides Miss Wills, Helen Jacobs is the only American girl accorded She is an international rank. placed in third place behind Mrs, Phoebe Watson, of England. This should meet with general approval on the strength of the work of thear three wonen in the American Cham- pionships alone.

ENTHUSIASM.
MISS THOM'S WITTY AND INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE.
America is not a country which arouses much enthusiasm in English people who generally get their ideas of it from Alms, magazines and tourista. That is can inspire real affection
its and confidencò in methods was shown by the clequent and witty lecture delivered 'yes- terday before the University Arts Association by Miss Eleanor Thom, M.A.. a young graduate of both Hong Kong and Columbia Univer sities.
Miss Thom was emphatic in her praise of the "Recitation system in fores in America's Universities. Every student has to produce a paper each week and the professor in the course of the discursigna which follow the set lecture has opportunity of testing how much. knowledge each pupil is acquiring. Miss Thom was least happy in her. comparisons between English and American Universities, but no doubt Columbia's views of Oxford are no stranger than Oxford's ideas of Columbia.

current work of avery term was taken into account. Mechanical in- vention and the making of money were the dominant features of American life, and education in that country concerned itself more with fitting people into the world of to-day than teaching them about the past.
Vocational Teaching.
The keynote of modern education in Amerien was finding out cach pupil's talents-what he wanted to learn and what he could learn. An immense amount of energy was spent in many countries forcing an- suitable knowledge into unwilling heads, only to be forgotten when examinations were safely over. The keenness of pupils at America's Vocational schools was a revelation to the new-comers. At first there appeared confusion: groups of pupils talking together, some going in, some coming out, and a teacher sitting in an unobstrusive corner, apparently taking no part in the proceedings. Soon, however, one came to realise that it was an in which "ordered confusion" pupils were finding things out for themselveny instead of being told them-and not listening.
One psychologically clever feature of the infants' schools was that the walls were covered with the crude drawings and paintings of the pupils and not with the work of great masters, which young people did not understand and learnt to view not with pleasure but with a dis- taste which hardened into a per- manent dislike of "anything high- brow."

Pleasure and Laughter. Speaking of the country in general Miss Thon remarked amid
A **America is laughter vellous country. Reviewing its characteristics she declared it to be- a place of bright lights,""of plea- sure and laughter. People worked hard but they knew how to play, America's truly democratic, nature was shown by the fact that many students supported themselves by doing the menial work of the colleges and by outside work-and many thus earning their livings were the children of wealthy people, who considered this part of a man or woman's proper training.
A Good Place for Chinese
Students.

Alter some arusing remarks about faces in New York "chewing so hard that they seemed to be in agony," the lecturer said that the real American-the person of Eng heh extraction hated the habit. She had herself stayed with ber of these old American families and more charming and cultured people she could not wish to find... They were particularly kind to Chinese students and there was not. the least sign of "enlour pre- judica."
Miss Thor was emphatic that American study should be for graduates only. The conditions are so utterly different that very young persons were apt to be swept off their feet, to lose their hold on things Chinese-and find it. imposs- ible to settle down in the ladd of their birth. For the more mature. person nothing but good should to- Bult from a visit to America and a course at American Universities.

WUCHOW'S EX-MAYOR.
A Canton paper alleges that Yuen Bing, the ex-Mayor of Wuchow "squeezed "over $23,000 from the Municipality during his tenure "of office of less than one month. He made good his escape when the Canton troops captured Wuchow. Recently, he married Mies Kwok Tai Wah, who was the head of the Bureau of Public Health in Wu- chow when Yuca was the Mayor,
