After this Pame Ade- Inids will go to Kuling where she will spend the summer, returning to Shanghai in the autumn and Tearing for Japan in November.

Although her stay in China has been com paratively brief, Bame Adelaide having arrived in Shanghai from Hongkong last December, she has heen able to neg much of factory conditions and has revived encouraging cooperation from Chinese officials Coming at the invitation of the National Christian Commeil and being in?" vited to sit with the Child Labour Com mission of the Muncipal Council. Dane Adelaide's role has been dual. to place her experience, in Great Britain the service of these bodies and, as an interested individual, to study for herself this existing conditions of factory laborer. That other organizations have taken the initiative in sering the benefits of Dame Adelaide's life long specialization on these lines is shown by the fact that during her reerit visit to Peking," Dr. W. W. Yes, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce interviewed her at his private residence, with the Vice-Minister: Dr. Hawling Yer, and the Chief of the Labour Department of the Ministry, Mr. Sun Chi Yi. was also present.

-"A DENERAL AWAKENING.

On the one hand, the interview afford- ed an opportunity of bearing Dame Alle- laide's impressions, after some months of service with the Shanghai Municipal Connell's 'Child Labritve. Commission and of study of the factory aitnation on behalf of the National Christian Council of Chinn and on the other. "of explaining the plans and activities of the Ministry.

Dame Adelaide Anderson was able to report an awekening interest on the jars of officials and employers in the subjett of industrial welfare, so that although the conditions, notwithstanding some notable exceptious. are generally speaking very terride the outlook is hopeful. great diffiens is the securing of co-or- dinated action and the great desideratum a wiler public appreciation of the issues involved. Emphasis was placed upon the need for the regulation of child labour, its exclusion from night-work, and the provision of education: and upon thy shortening of the hours of labour is view of the greater strain of work in fac tories using power-driven machinery

Among the subjects discussed were the need for more necurate statistics for the study of health and safety, for means whereby the labourers enul voice their own needs the question of trained travel. ling inspectors, and the preparations for sending a Chinese delegation to the Inter- national Labour Conference to be held in Geneyn in September this year.

Among other significant invitations was one to address the Chinese Science" and Political Society in Peking. Darne Ade- laides being the first woman who had ever attended one of its meetings. Mr. S.

THE AUTHORITIES IN KIANGST.

The Civil Governor of Kiangsu has re- cently issued the following important Ordinance to the Industrial Bureau ar follows

The Ministry of Agriculture and Com- neree has already promulgated a set of factory regulations. Although there are special articles in regard to child labour, they are perhaps not perfect since there is no eireful.inspection. This would tend to inake them exist in name only.

Dame Adelaide Anderson of Great Britain has presented personally a emorandur. It was entirely because of her humanitarian spirit that she wish- ed children to the beller treated in all the factories.

tor

A Child Labour Commission "has already been appointed by the Municipal Council in Shanghai to investigate fac conditions. Chins should also or ganize a commission of the same nature to sit in Shanghai so that regulations in regard to children in both the Chinese and foreign factories will be similar.

Besitles writing to Commissioner Esn of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai asking him to see Dame Adelaide Anderson about the matter, the Commissioner of the Industrial Bureau of Kiangsu is also notified.*.
