And now I should like to say this to both the Old Girls and students of the present day. We have all. or at least most of us, been school girls at some period of our lives-- in fact in many cases our school has been our home for a number of years-and our teachers in the nature of our parents for. the time being.
They have endeavoured quite apart from the tuition' given—to guide us aright, would our charac- ters, teach us self-reliance and self-control-in fact to arm us for the temptations and difficulties life, which each one of us must face, alone later on.

Several pro. vinces appear to be completely at loggerheads with Nanking except on the Sino-Japaness question, and unification of the whole of China under a central government is still more true in theory. than in fact. Nevertheless, there are indications of improvement in many ways and I sincerely hope that an early solu tion will be found to the present difficulties in the North which will give the various Chinese govern. mentorgans an opportunity to progress with their schemes of re- construction and reorganisation, for the benefit of the country.
