1 2 AUSTRALASIAN PHARMACEUTICAL NOTES AND NEWS. March I , 19 17 .

'I'here will be a healthy rivalrj' between Universities and College, not only to prove the excellence of the instruction given, but no doubt some of the men from these institutions will develop special abilities in research work and as explosives experts.

A u s t r a l i a a n d t h e E m p i r e

will watch with more lhan ordinary interest the work of these gentlemen, and it is confidently expected that men from each State will distinguish themselves, and some will win world-wide fame. From the quality of our workers in other domains of science, from the work of nur surgeons, and our inventors, as well as from tlie records of our soldiers and our sailors, we hail this opportunity given to the natives of Australia to prove their mettle in a new field. Australia will benefit by the experience these men gain. Probably many on their return will find good posts under Federal and State administration to reward them for their work and experience in the Mother Fand.

Our illustration shows one contingent of trained chemists sent forward by the “ Euripides.” Another lot left by the “Ceramic,” and from letters received from the men, we gather that they had a pleasant but exciting trip. Calling at a South African port, they were shown over a large ammunition works, and received their first taste of what their work would be like. When about a week’s journey off the British coast they had to don life-belts, and were not allowed to be without them. At Church, or in bed, at cricket, even, they had to wear these life-savers for fear of an attack from a submarine; hut all arrived safely at one of the South of England ports, and were conveyed by train to London. Here they met with a hearty welcome from the authorities and officials, whose duty it was to receive them and instruct them as to their proceeding to various munitions works all over the country for training for their future work. Les. Matthews was sent to the border of Males; Jack Creswick went to Mansfield, and Albert Gibbons was sent to the Scottish border. Letters from our men tell us that they had a pleasant voyage and a warm reception.

G e n e r o u s E n g l i s h m e n

showed our young chemists everj' kindness. As soon as it was known that these fellows were Australian chemists who had come over to help in munitions work, then every kindness and hospitality was shown to them. • They were a band of well- educated young gentlemen of whom their country may well he proud. There was not a “bounder” in the whole team. Added to this, they were seen to be able workmen, teachable and enthusiastic, and as such they appealed to the hearts of the folk at home, and ably represented the energy and ability of Young Australia.

Needless to say, they were on their best behavior. They were not out for a holiday, hut for serious work for the nation. They have to maintain the name and fame of Australia as truly as the men who fight in the trenches, and w'e do not doubt that they will do so. Not a few of them would not be accepted as soldiers in the fighting line; in fact, some of them had been turned down. But they w'ere no “slackers.” They knew that they might have to work in a shift any time from eight

hours to twenty-four hours, and they were prepared lo do their duty with all their might.

L e t t e r s f r o m O u r C h e m i s t s

tell us that they live in hostels very' near their work, iu some cases wdthin a few minutes’ walk from their sphere of duty. The accommodation is excellent, and all their wants are catered for in first-class style, even hot baths are provided. They have nothing to complain about, and in return they are quite resolved tu show English workers the very best that .A.ustralians can do. We hear it reported that one fellow has broken the record of his shift in output; but they have not got into swing yet, and if any of them have been able to do a little better than usual it may' be a bit of good luck.

B e a u t i f u l B r i t a i n

finds new admirers in this team of w'orkers. The green of the country, and the richness and variety of the foliage specially appealed to some of tliem. After the sombre landscapes of Australia and the everlasting gum trees, the rich verdure of England came almost as a revelation to them. Others are especially interested in the old ruins dating from the days of the Romans. 'I'he country' is full of interest to these workers, and time off duty is spent in exploring the country-side.

T h e G i r l W o r k e r s

who are employed under these young chemists appear to he a willing, respectable, industrious lot. The only trouble with them is when stores run out, and they are not able to work full swing all the time. These girls do not give as little as possible in return for their pay, they give their best, their very best, and some have died because they ruined their health through their indefatigable industry. Britain has every' reason to he proud of her women w'orkers.

L a d i e s i n t h e M ’ o r k s h o p s

arc not afraid nor ashamed to work. It is not merely “ the working classes” who are engaged in this work. Young ladies of education and of refinement are among the girls w’ho do the best in munitions making, and we need not wonder if some of the young fellows who went away by the “ Euripides” and hy' the “ Ceramic” find their wives from among the munition workers, who are worthy of every respect. The more refined and the more gentle hold the rougher portion in check, and the lot of the working girl in England will- be all the better after the w'ar in consequence of meeting and working alongside of those who sprang from refined and educated stock.

W e H o p e t o H e a r

from our y'oung chemists from time to time. W'e have only lent them to Britain for a little while. We cannot spare them. In a few' months they will get homesick and sigh for Australia’s blue skies and Sydney’s sunny' harbour. We do not fear that to the end thej will “ stick i i ” but when comes the end they w'dl flock home again to the “ Sunny South,” and their Australian friends w'ill w'elcome them back as heartily as the soldiers returning from the war.

Across the world we send them the message from Sydney friends;—“ Good luck. God bless and keep you, and send you back home to us again.”

THE LATIN QITt;.STION.

TO T H E E D IT O R O F T H E H E R A L D .S ir,—T h e m a io r lty o f the le tte rs that have

appeared on the question o f com pulsory Latin bave been insp ired by the consideration o f the low percentage o f passes in the recoo t te a v lD g C c itlQ cate exam inxtlo ii. Though th is bas been exp lained by the o ffic ia l s tatem ent tha t laat y e a r was not a norm al year, ow ing to the la te a r r iv a l o f te x t books, and other hindrances due to tho w ar, tb e re would s lU l appear to be a certa in p rejudice aga in st the sub ject wh ich t crave apaco to dea l w ith io your colum ns as b r ie fly as I can.

I t is contended th a t L a t in Is o f l it t le or no use to anyone a fte r leav in g scbool. As our ch ie f Inspector said. "M a ry does not lu ll baby to s leep b y . croon ing one o r other o f tho ‘Odes’ o f H o race .” N o r, I m igh t add. would she endeavour to soothe Its troubles w ith an evpesltiun o f the B inom ial Theorem . But i f M ary bad a course In Latin , the p roba b ility Is that. In h er In tercourse w ith the g row ing child , she would avo id eom e o f the verba l aod gram m atica l solecism s so prevalen t In E ng lish as It is spoken by the young Au stra lian o f to -day. In no o th er language (e xc e p t perhaps tbe G reek ) is th ere a m oro rig id demand fo r the r igh t w ord In the r igh t p lace ; In n o o th e r langu age Is tbo expression o f Ideas, w h e th er s im ple o r com plex , reduced to s o c le a r and log ica l a system . Few o f the vapouring# o f our no isy demagogues wouid stand tbe test o f transla tion In to th is r«‘ - m orseleas ly e x a c t and lo g ic a l tongue. And

.n e v e r was the need o f c lea r th inking and c lea r speak ing m ore Insistent tban i t is to -

, day. iI P ro fesso r Carslaw is concerned a t the do- • crease in " A r t s " fitndents, and, as usual, ro - I gards L a t in as the rh le f s tum bling b lo c k . ' \ tliy not m athem atics? I f L a t in keeps ont, o f the U n iv ers ity students o f a m athem atical ‘

The w ell-know n correspondent In Russia fo r the ’ ’D a ily ' C hron icle ,” H a ro ld W HIiaras. ‘ a perhaps one o f the fineat lln ga is ts In tho

I that L a tin is the cu lp rit In "a r ts ,” how does P ro fesso r ra rsLaw explain the g row ing p r » -

: portions o f the l is t in “ m edicine.” where tb e same ataodard in La tin Is a lso requ ired? '

"F e llo w o f Science” is obsessed with the R iiperlority o f Germ an methods o f education, p a rticu la rly as app lied to scien tific and te c h - ' nical ends. I subm it that the ch ie f aim o f l education is to produce, n o t a good scientis t. nor a good techn ical man, but a good c itizen . W h eth er the Germans have produced the Isstnam ed phenomenon is, to say tha least o f it, open to question. But. apropos o f th is v e ry m a tte r, a v e ry in te re e t la g e x * perim en t haa been mado in Berlin . The students from the modern schools (no La t in ) and the studenta fro m the gym nasia, or classica l schools, during the past 10 years

'W e re subm itted bv the pro fessors o f science In Berlin to certa in educational tests. I t was found th a t the products o f the gym nasia w ere in te llec tu a lly fa r superio r to those '3( the m odern schools, and tb e en t ire pru fes- ■o iia te s tro n g ly advocated a retu rn to t}te c lassica l basis o f education " In th e in terests o f the F a th er lan d ." A s im ila r experim ent was m ade In Parla at the "E c o le des Fo rges ." w ith tho same resu lt. Bo it would appeSr that.

T h e answer la tha t L a t in a t the h igh er standard Is com pulsory in the entrance exam ination to the Facu lty o f A rts , and m athem atics a t tbe lower standard.

PASSED— THE o ld COMMON/ ROOM. ^

iI Thick with tbe dust o f memories, the old , cojniuon room o f the UniversU y j*y a rasas I of halsomloe fra fm es is and bar'*, lank, sad- '] looking rafters. For a time It stood like the

Colosseum with wtde-gaping S'>$?ets in place I o f windows. Now Jt has gone.

Women graduates who r is lt the Univcrsltjr must surely fee l that they 1» t p lost something.

■ I Though a mer-- shaoty - ' 1<1 anything but an adornm ent to tko grounds wberain i t stood.

, the com m on-room has phiyed its part fn studen t life . -Maaifold w ere ita uses. Thera it was tha t the students partook o f a hurried luischeon. The room was crow 'tcd w ith small tables and chairs. The door .-'Pl w a lls o f an

'a d jo in in g room v :r c hung w ltb illustrated notices o f varied subject m atter. On dreary exam ination days the com mon-room would ox- ' hort the students to "C beo r up " through the medium o f a placard which waa hanging to one o f its walls.

M fe In the common room was nothing if not, say.

A fte r tbe s t ir o f luncheon, the tab les with th e ir coverings o f musty green , were the re s ting p laces fo r bats, books, sult-csuses, and other e ffects o f the women studcnls.

A l l m eetings snd debates w ere held in the lecture room s o f tbe U n iversity bu ild ing , the common room being too sm all to adm it of la rge gatherings. Now a l l is changed, fo r the old common room has been superseded by "M an n in g H ouse." There they have an asaem- b ly b a ll fo r the w eekly Impromptn debates, com m ittee meetings, and genera l m eetings.

[ B e fo re and a fte r b ir th Inherited syph ilis Is much m ore serious than the acquired form , since the m icrobe ts a tta ck in g tissues In p ro -

! cess o f d evelopm ent. Ileu ce It Is a fr e quent cause o f an te-n ata l death . O therw ise the In fan t is born w ith the m icrobe already p lanted in Its tissues, though It m ay appear hea lth y a t b irth . W ith in a few weeks or months, how ever, the ta in ted li fe begins to d isclose the ta in t, and a v e r itab le chaojber o f h orrors Is revealed . I sha ll not ra ise the cu rta in fu rth er than to quote tw o sentences from the final repo rt o f the R oyal Comm ission on V en e rea l D iseases, London, 1916. “ T h e ch ild 's g row th is checked, its v ita lity depressed, its In te lligen ce stunted.” And again. "T h e cen tra l nervous system may bo g ra ve ly affected, lead ing to . . . . b lin d ness, deafnoBB, m en ing itis . Id iocy, and v a r i ous fo rm s ot p ara lysis .”

A C D N TR A8T.I speak to a h ea lth y audience whose in te ll i

gence and atten tion are a le rt. I have seen as la rge a ga th er in g o f dehum anised derelicts, m any o f whom w ere the w reckage o f syph ilis , a p it ifu l and repu lsive spectacle. Betw een these extrem es o f p e r fe c t hea lth and u t ie r Id iocy th ere is a g re a t arm y o f the m en tally d efec tive . A p roportion , la r g e r In nome, sm aller In others, o f th e ir b ra in -celle rem ains undeveloped o r p erm anen tly damaged. W ba t chance bave these l it t le oni!B o f becom ing good citizens. T h e y aro degraded from the raco o f men. T h ey represen t a low er order of being— and th ey w i l l act sccord ingly . T h a t physical basis, w h ich is the first condition o f the expression o f our In te lle c tu a lity and o f our sp ir itua lity haa been denied them from the s ta rt. T h a t hea lth y brain , w ithou t which

I we cannot have an able m ind o r a high cbaraoter, was n ever th e irs . T o com plete the tragedy , th ey a re condem ned to paas on to th e ir children , and tb e lr children ’s ch ild ren, the same d e fec tiv e brain . N o t e ve ry case o f mental deficiency is due io syphflia, ' though syph ilis Is p robably tb e m oat Im portan t con tribu tory cause.

Tho an te-n ata l dam age tha t m ay be done by congen ita l syph ilis is Illu strated In the m oat s ta r tlin g manner by som e fam ily h isto ries quoted ijy the R oya l CommlssloD. “ In the case o f 34 srph llU io mothcrB.

je ve r , recover under trea tm en t w ith ou t notlcc- lab le i l l effoct. T hey are blind to the tragedy I o f the m in ority . H ence the in fection is too I o ften regarded as an accident wblch m ay tfe i ligh tly dism issed from the mind. But the m icrobe Is no t th ereby dlsralased from the body. The surgeon knows ite ravages and the lon g duration o f its In le e t lv lty In men. But on ly tbose who have made a specia l study o f the d iseases o f women rea lise the vas t damage to womanhood, the cruel fraud on motherlmnd, tho massacre o f tbe innocents, perpetra ted by th is m icrobe. T h e unhr-'py patien t o f course does n o t know to what

’h er illn ess Is due. In m ost cases e ve r her buebsnd bas no suspicioD, and he would be overw helm ed w ith rem orse I f he had. T o do him Justice, he n ever dream t o f danger- I t Is

I ■ charac te ris tic o f th is Insidious d isease that the obvious sym ptom s soon paas off, w h ile the h idden In fection m ay la s t fo r years. So a man m ay m arry, a ll unconscious tbat he ia s t i l l In fested w ith tlie germ s o f n past d is ease—a ll unconscious tha t tho w ild oats which he sowed a few years b e fo re are w a itin g to y ie ld a la te crop in tbe form o f r.n invalid w ife and a deso la te home.

Tha v e rd ic t o f the R oya l Oommlssioners is unm istakable. “ The consequences o f go n o rrhoea in men o re g ra ve and far-reach ing. The d lscoee is a frequent cause o f s te r ility , aud a source o f tb e g rea tes t danger to the com m unity a t large. . . . I t is ‘mpoBalble to exaggerate the Im portance o f gonorrhoea in woman. In the e a r lie r s tage i t in flicts on her a Berious a lim en t; suhsequvntly i t may cause B te r ll l iy : and in la ter years it f r e qu en tly leads to conditions which may neoos- s lta te g ra ve and d ifflruU operations, to chronic inva lid ism , and Bometlmos to death. . . .

' B oth gon orrh oea and syph ilis lead to an enorm ous annual loss o f ch ild l i fe .” They add th is r id e r : “ In v iew o f the com parative ly sm all Im portance with which, untfl recen tly , the consequences o f gonorrhoea bave com m on ly been regarded, It Is our duty to emphasise tb a t tb e evidence g iven b efo re us seems to estab lish tha t ronorrboea , until i t haa bcon e ffec tiv e ly treated, ehould bo considered a h indrance to m.arrUge. . . . As rc ga rM syph ilis, the im portance o f p reventing the m arriage o f any person who is in an In fectious s ta te is fa r m ore g v o e ra lly appreciated.”

F ro m these fac ts it wou ld appear that, com pared w ith syphilis, gonorrhoea Is no t lesa d estru ctive , though It Is m ore m ercifu l, to the children . T hey a re leSs o ften born diseased; they are m ore o ften not born at

‘•A D IS G U S T IN G P R A C T i r E .”In a recen t addrcs* before members o f the

Sa lvation Arm y, in the Cengress H a ll, o o “ Tho L lfo o f a W om an,” S ir Thomas Anderaon Stuart dep lored tbe hold th * amoking habit waa ga in in g on Australian women. Ho urged mothers to do th e ir utm ost to p revent th e ir daughters from acqu iring the practice.

“ I have seen women sm oking a t dinner parties ,” said S ir Thomas, “ and I consider It a dla- gnsting practice. Smoking, besides, has a deleterious e ffec t on tbo hoaltb, because when women smoke they usually overdo I t ."

W hen asked yesterday to exp la in tbe effec t o f tobacco on a wom an's constitution. S ir Thomas pointed out that the whole nervous syalem o f a woman was read ily affected by stim u lation uf any kind. Quantities o f tobacco tbat wore only m oderote fo r a man were qu ite excess ive f o r a woman. Th is greater a ffec tl- b liity o f the nervous system o f woman w a» m anifested In a great va rie ty o f ways, csp«© d a l ly In tho ea rlie r period* o f her life . In deed, It m igh t be said that In many ways the nervous system ot tbe woman resem bled tha t o f a s t i l l grow ing rh lld ; w h ile tha t o f s man bed atta ined a much m ore marked degree o t < s tab ility .

F rom this genera l statem ent many Im portant deductions m ight be draam as to the g rea ter influence o f drugs upon ths body ot the woman than upon that o f the man. FYom that poia t o f v iew tobacco was sim ply a dn ig : so w a * ' alcohol.

Asked why th is d ifference in the se£es, S ir Thom as n a ively rep lied : “ W e ranont say. I t ; Is Inherent in the liv in g m utter, and is Just be- : cau.’ o the one Is a woman a n l the other is h man; and one would not have i t o therw ise. ! W hat Is. is best.”

O ther raedlros In terview ed on the subject said 1 that they had bad women patien ts suffering ' fron^ sm oker's heart in a iMd form ; but as

th ey w ere in variab ly o t tbe upper class lit t le was heard about them. Theo qu ite a number suffered from eye trouble brought cn by excess ive smoking.

Then smoking has go t such a strong hold nn some professional women tha t even when on : fluty they re tire a t in lo rva ls throughout the day to have a “ few w h lffa ” They would not rare, I t seems, to be seen smoking. F o r this

reason women busy through the day a re known 1 to a lt up late a t n ight smoking c igarettes ,

th reby loslug hours o f needed rest. The e lgn rc lto fs, o f course, the w orst form o f smok- , Ing. ns tb e smoke Is Inhaled and women seldom smoke anyth ing else.

S evera l laymen o f w ide ly d ivergen t v iew s In o ther metterH have expressed the opin ion tbat they would not lik e to m arry a woman wbo smokes. C erta in ly from an aesth etlr poin t o f v iew smolciDg does not odd to a woman's Chaims, but lho revera©

PKEVENTION OF VEX'EEEAL t e DISEASES.

T O T H E E D ITO R O P T H E H E RALD .S ir,— In y o u f account o f the m eoting o f the

U n ivers ity S ocie ty lo r Com'bating Vonere.il D iseases. S ir Thomas Anderson Stuart is re ported as having re fe rred to an e ffec tive p reven tlve tr ea tm en t'th a l had beon applied w ith wonderfu l resu lts to tb e troops in E gyp t as a ' ‘ d iscovery,’' Im p ly ing tha t p reventive m ethods had not beon p reviously known.

F o r m any years there has been known, aod Id m sny countries uecd, a method o f p re ven tin g both syph ilis and gonoirboea, which is sim ple, inexpensive, and, i f p roperly ap p lied , and w ith in a reasonable tim e a fte r e x posure to in fection , p ra c tic a lly absolu tely efficacious. j

" T o my know ledge thia method bas been . brought under th e no tice o f the ch iefs ot G overnm ent departm ents charged w ith the duty o f cofflbattng these dlacaaes, and ol

.v a r io u s soc ie ties form ed w ith BRnllar alm a,, nbu t because o f the absurd,' I w ovld say a lm ost |

crim inal, m ental a t lita d e . th a t i f these m ethods w ere known it would be an encouragement

, to vlce^ they w ill no t a va il them eelves o f them, inor make them known, but arc content to g o ! on trea tin g these diseases a fte r they have ’ been contracted. I have a lw ays stoutly m ainta ined tha t i t is w rong to refuse to trust the people w ith >the know ledge o f these measures. I t wou ld be a worth less m ora lity th a t w ere fostered by tbe thought tha t v ice could be indulged !n bocaose there ueed be DO physical consequences.

In the case o f eve ry o th er disease fo r which a prophylactic ts known, such as sm allpox, typhoid, tetanus, etc.. w e use it, and so save m illions o f lives , to say noth ing o f the sav ing o f euonnous cost tha t wou ld otherw ise bo in vo lved la treatm en t. W hy, In tho name o f common-senae, skould w e refuRo to use p reven tive measures lu the case o f veuercul dibeases when we have a slmplo, re liab le, in expensive method ready to our hands, and by so doing save thousands o f liv es , much au fforing and m isery, enorm ous expenses, and, w h a t Is o f consequence a t the moipent, p re v en t the loss o f tho aerv lces ot thousand* o f figh ting men?

I f these p reven tive measures w ere on lvers- a l ly used, there wo-jld be no new cases o f these dlseasos, and this, combined wit'u present methods o f trea tin g ex is tin g cases, and quarantin ing tlH cured o f in fected p ersons, would, 1 am convinced, e n t ire ly freo the com m unity from these d lsesscs In a v ery short tim e, just as com p le te ly as inoculation has banlstaed hydrophobia from Enqland. 1 am 08 surely convinced th a t i f p reven tive mcABures be no t utilised , then there is no more hope o f e rad ica tin g ven erea l diseases, o r even o f app rec iab ly lessen ing them, than v a s the case v/iih gm a llpo*, or typhoid, o r m'xlarin. o r y r llo w f*.-ver until prev*»ntlvn measure* w ere employed.

Before I le ft Lonaou In U73, a lle r le av in g the U iasgow University, L began to endeavour to acquire u know ledge o f Chlnosc. I have tho books ye t; but.

I engaged a Cbincsu tutor, aud, a fte r hard work, not fo r tw o years, but o ver ten years, I began a t last to understand and converse free ly lu th ree d i f feren t d ialeciE o f Chinese, aud was ab le lo fo llow conversation in tw o more d ia lscis , w ith a know ledge o f ovi-r lO.ftgO Ghhn-ae i-naractera. H av ing a ll th is in my tamd. I made the r e marks which I did in g iv in g my “ Joseph, F ish er" lecture in Adelaide, tne lectu re I j was invited lo go o ve r from Syuiicy to g iv e . [

There is no doubt about it that the n eg le c t ] to acqu ire the O riental language* by b u a i-f ness people in Au stra lia w ill be to tbaJr abso- ‘ lute detrim ent. There la a le tte r In yoo r paper o f the same date, by M l** Cricfatun im rie, who has just returned from Japan, and relates Instancus ot a Japanese siutiy lng Russian and other bookB in the trains. That 1* 'not a t a l l now. I tra v e lled w ith Japanese ;ln 187.1. from London to Yokoham a, who bad been home and taken degroea in B ritish U n ivcrs iljc s ; and when I was In .Tftpan-on several occasions som e could speak ' ‘ p id s ln "

^ R u s s ia n , ' ‘ p idgin ” German, and •pidgin*’ French with the Japanese: but tb a t w a* on ly, o f course, on the surface. Below the surface the Japanese know a grea t deal m or* about Kuropean languages tnau anyone bas e ve r given them cred it for.

In 1878. when I wag In Japan, I was in K io to , In one o f tbe large tem ples w ith a friend w ith whom I was w a lk ing about adm iring th is temple, and my friend said, " I must ask one o f these priesta (o f .whom there wore hundreds in the tem p le) -wjiether wo can see au y-

Tbts I s an instance o f tb e far-back dated effnrta o f the Japanese to acqu ire W estern eivillsatiOD.

Another case o f the g i f t o f tongues occurred in my o.wn experience, when I w as Inl Formosa. I used to know severa l o f the' ■Weiyuans o r aJdea-^le-camp o f the ch ie f m andarins in Formosa, one o f whom p articu la rly was a friend o f mine, w ith whom I ueed to speak the native d ialect. T h is was w orth Ita we igh t in go ld to me. T here are those who bave said tb a t I f you speak to tbe Chinese in tb e ir own language they w i l l look down on you; hut those peop le do no t know the fu ll meaning o f the phrase. "Lan gu age Is the key to the m in d ." T h is Chinese did m e g re a i service on one occasion, when 1 waa tr a v e llin g there in 1877 as in te rp reter and gu ide to a ra ilw ay engineer, who w en t out under a pass o f the ch ie f m andarin o f the Fokeo province, l l y friend had not a passport. I alw ays had one, but It bad to be renewed yearly . 1 sent in to tb<‘ VMmen to ask It, since I was s tartin g the next day i l went o ff a t 24 hours’ n o tice), it would be poss ib le ' to get a passport d irec t from the head man- d a r it in the c ity , because the B ritish Consul was absent. Thia man came out and said to me: "Y ou are a fr ien d o f m ine, be is a friend o f yours, so ho c.ao tra v e l on you r passport, and I w ill see you are p roperly looked a fte r .” H e was as good as b is wurd; and at eve ry c ity we v is ited the guard turned out anti re ceived us.

Shortly a fte r th is I h ap pen ed .to be a t the headquarters o f my Ann a t Am oy, on the mainland o f China, aod fo r variou s rewaons connected w ith sugar c rop * T was aent to the g rea t c ity o f Thin Chew. T h is c ity . I may say. waa Marco P o lo ’s c ity o f Zaitun, from which c ity he sailed fo r P e rs ia with ttae Chinese princess to be m arried to the Shah o f Persia. I arrived there s ft c r th ree days' journey, and 1 stopped a t the house o f a Cbioaman who con tro lled about h a lf the sugar: crop in Form osa. F o r about three weeks while I was there 1 w en t *11 o ve r the city^ alone. Just w ith a Chinese gu ide to .te il me how to ge t back. Chin Chew was a c ity o f about 1,000,000 Inhabitant*, a l it t le la rger than Sydney. M y f r ic , . ! the Chinaman told m e tha t everyone in Chin Chew had heard I was there, and wanted to see me: and he eaid he would like to g ive a dinner and ask about 40 o r 6i lead ing ChiDose wealthy m erchanta to niee( mo. Th is dinner duly came o ff; and. w ith ih( exception o f one or two o f tbe Chinese diabea even to my sem i-Chinese state i t was one d the finest d inners I have had in m y li fe . ThJ language spoken was Cbineae. no one knoaJ Ing English but m yself and friend , who knev pidgin English. 1 had to ge t up and rep ly to my health, which waa proposed in Chinese by my host. T h is I did In Chinese. I was grrted with s grea t ovation , aad a unrequest that I would com e and spend a t leas t three months w ith each o f tbe 50 guests. This, o f course. T was unable to do.

A POORLY-PAID SKRVICE.

'The Statd must see that proper teachers are provided now and in the future fo r the Instru ction o f the children o f the S ta le. ' said M r. A . O. P . James. M in is ter fo r Education, yesterday a ftern oon a t the lay ing o f the foundation-stone o f tbe Teachers' C ollege in the U n ivers ity grounds.

Th ere was a large attendance o f tbe public. P ro fessor .A. M ackle, M .A ., p rincipal o f tbe U n ivers ity , p resided, and associated w ith him w ere Dr. p] Coles (v lce -p r ln c ip a l). P rofesnor Anderson, M .A., S ir Thom as Anderson Stuart, Judge Backhouse. M r. P. Board (D irector of Edu ca tion ), and tbe lecturing, teaching, and p ro fesso ria l staffs. M r. M. E. Moran, superin tendent o f construction, represented M r. W . B ruce, Constructor ot Buildings.

T h e M in is ter said lh a t tho need fo r a teachers ’ c o llege bad heen long fe lt . No n ia t le r how good a system wan, it f e l l to tbe ground I f com petent teachers were not a v a il

ab le to adm in is ter It. In endeavoring lo make th is provis ion he found, as M inister, tb a t he w as up against tw o p ropos ition s-firs t, the teach ing staffs w ere no t adequately remuno- , ra ted fo r the iDvaluable services they rendered — (ap p lau se ); and second, adequate tra in ing I fa c ilit ie s had n o t been provided tor them. Muuyx ot the toachcra reoelvod less than £3 por woek.-J H e thought it r igh t tha t tbe public should know - tha t the m inimum paid (and that app lied to m aoy teachers) was but £132 per y ea r ! ” 1 say I do n o t th ink they a re aufflclentiy paid a l that figure.” said M r. James, em phatically, am id r e - , new cd applause. Bqt, iu makJos a system w hereby the m lnloium would he Increased to- £15« he found th is anom aly; 'that, w h ile the extra cost to the S ta te would iyc- £y(5,00tt a year., 940 m a le teachers on ly would be benefited, as aga inst 8280 fem a le instructors. I t was g ra tl- • fy ln g , h ow ever tha t b is second problem bid (a ir to be solved in the provis ion o f tbe new college. Ttae lack o f m ale asaistaiita waa keenly fe lt . He was v e ry proud, though, o f tiie fa< t tha t 6S0 men out o f tbe teach ing staff had gone to tb e fconi^^to do a nob ler duty, even than tbat o f taach iog children. (Applause.) H e hoped when theso men go t back to be aJjle to givo them a l it t le extra remuneration. T h e r* ha'l been an im provem en t in tbe qu a lity o l the teach ing staffa. The departm ent was much coa - • veroed about the estab lishm ent o f a h ostel fo r the lady teachers, aod tbat would be gone on ) w ith when funds were ava ilab le . \

T h e M inister hoped tha t the com pletion o f th * j c o llege wou ld no t be unduly delayed. Tha I revenue had' turned out b etter than expcolod, and if arrangem enta fo r money c'ould be made ' in Fmgland be would do b l i best to seo (h a t t W construfition waa put throogh speedily. In per*il form in g tbe o ffic ia l cerem ony, ho expresacJ the hope th a t the Institu tion would be a benefit to no t on ly tho teach ing s ta ff but to the w ho le o| N ew South W ales.

P ro fesso r M ackie said th is was the first T eachers ’ Co llege to r N ew South AVales. M ore than 20 years ago. Invitations lo r a elmttar function had been Issxied. T en years ago, when bo came to N ew South W a les , ho was assured th a t n bu ild ing would be provided forthw ith. Pub lic opinion had been singularly indifferent, and successive Adm liM stration* apathetic. H oweve r the co llege ha(l carried on Its work under conditions tha t would have caused strong p ro test, had th ey been th o s ^ o f a prU v a te institution. The neg lect o l tbe needs oC young teachers waa a serious re flec tion on tha S tate. Under M r Board ’ s d irection , an adm irab ly designed system o f school* was being gradu ally b rought In fo exJstencs. F o r the s ta ff o f the coHoge. men and wcmen o f tbe h igfaett ' a va ilab le quaUfications had been selected . J

P ro fesso r Anderson said he hoped the d u ^ would be an augury fo r the e a r ly c om p le tlo H o f the building. T h ir ty years ago, It was a ’ case rtf “ th is year, next year: some year— ' n ever.” H e was glad to note that the M in is-; t e r ’ s speech dea lt la rge ly w ith the defects ot the educational system . Form erly they heard a g re a t deal about the sysTem being " th e best In the w orld .” I t w ts n o t! !

R E PLY TO CRITICISM.TO THK EDITOR.

Sir.— In to -day 's tesu« a snb-Ieader bolds me Qp to pub lic censure on account ot "p o u rin g out abuse on things that Prn testan ts bold sacred.” The accusation I repudiate, aa contra ry lo my mind, and to «n express declaration o f regard fo r the trad ition a l uprightness and kindness o f P ro te su n ts w ith whom my hearers and m yse lf w ere fam iliar.

It was my duty to show by experience and by au thorities hoV in poin t o f d lv ip lty , o r thco- lotffcal teaching, the new scfentldc critic ism had made tbe P rotestan t position, In Its several opin ion*, nntennbl© as to the d iv in e insp iration o f tbe B ib le and IU In te rp reu tlon . H ere upon reference was Indicated to the work “ D octrine and D octrina l D lzrup tlon ,'' b y M a l- lork.

T bo proper body to con fer the D.D. is ; the re llg iocB bodv which recogn ises tbe doctr in e u f the candidate.

A b r ie f exam ination , h ow ever, o f one o f the Archb ishop ’s exp lana tions w i l l p rove tha t his insu lting d ism issa l o f non-Rom an re lig iou s teach in g was n ot on ly a crim e but alao a blunder. H e in sis ts th a t he waa r ig h t In “ Im pugn ing the sU tu s o f the E ng lish U n ivers it ies as teachers o f d iv in ity .” I l l s argum ent Is that "w ith o u t an au th ority outside the Sacred Book you cannot defend its au th en tic ity n or procure un ity o f In te rp re ta t ion ." The Im plication Is, o f course, that the Homan Catholic Church can, becau.'se It haa such an au thority . T he au th o r ity Jn question— v e ry much in question It w i l l be seen— Is. o f courso, the In fa llib ility o f the Popo whon he speaks ex cathedra. I t Is obv iou s ly , then, a m a tte r o f v i ta l Im portance to have a de fin ite s ta tem en t as to when the P op e is speakk.g ex cathedra and a lien i io l—and again as to the exten t and w eigh t o f bis au th o r ity when he is not speak ing ex cathedra, but m ere ly as tb e p atr iarch o f the L a t in com m union. B luntly, bas the Popp made a s ing le ex cathedra and, th ere fo re . In fa llib le , pronouncem ent since the d octr ine o f papal in fa l l ib i l i t y was p rocla im ed n ea rly 50 years ago? I f so, when and which? Is there any Roman C ath o lic d ign ita ry who can answ er these questions? Y e t th e ir b earing on the problem of au th o r ita tiv e religiouB Instruction is obvious.

Thipsfi d ec is ion s w ere fo rm a lly confirmed by the Pope. W e r e th ey In fa llib le decisions? I f so, w h a t m ade tbem In fa llib le , the deciding votes o f the com m ission or the con firm in g vo ic e o f the P op e? Or w ero they n o t regarded as in fa llib le ? I t is a v ita l question, f o r un fortu nate ly the verd ic t o f tho commifiRion on some poin ts con flicts w ith som e o f the conclusions o r argum ents o f Mgr. B a tlffo l. T h e re is som ethlug v ery pathetic In the honest hut unhappy a ttem pt o f the tr.ma- la to r to exp la in away these poin ts o f conflict.

W il l Archb ishop K e l ly k ind ly te ll us whether In th is case, when R om an doctors d isngree Rom an dtaclp lea are fr e e tn balance au th orities nnd judge between them ? Tf they ar"', then th ey are no b ette r ov ■worse o ff than non- Rom an d lsctp lea o f non-Rom an doctors. But tn th a t case, what Is the w ork ing value o f papal in fn ll lh ll ity ? \Yhat has become o f tbe a u th o r ity w h ich was to procu re unity o f In te rp re ta t ion and a ll the sunpoaed necess ities o f th eo log ica l In s tm ction ?

He went to Ita ly to bring back b is w ife and child, and arrived there Just a fte r the grea t Austrian advance in tbe Trentlno. H e was In form ed that surgeons were, u rgently wanted at the front, and he decUled to g ive his help to

I ls establishment, he said, was due to a sm all band o f persevering men. who had planned and worked and prayed fo r w e ll-n igh a qu arter o f a century, b eliev in g that sooner o r In ter th e ir ob ject would be achieved. Some o f those men had passed away, but some were there that day to re jo ice in tho fru it ion o f their labors. The foundation-stones o f the build ing had beeo la id tw e lve months ago that day by tho la te Rev. Dr. Brown, then president o f the General Conference, and Messrs. Fred. Cull and W .

O rig l- n a lly it was decided that fo r want o f sufficient funds the build ing o f the chapel would have to rem ain In abeyance, but through tbe lib e ra lity o f Mr. Fred. Cull, Mrs. Cull, and th e ir daughters, In contribu ting a t least £2000 tow ards it, the council bad been enabled to secure that beautiful sanctuary. The plans provided fo r futu re e xten s ion ! o f the college, and they looked forw ard to the not remote futu re when the necessity and opportunity to make those extensions would arrive . The ex penditure to date wus £25,830, and bad been provided fo r through contributions, £12,916, and Government aubsldy o f £12.645. A balance o f £276 was a llll duo from the Government. The bonding would be opened free o f debt. (App lause.) The cost o f furnishing bad en- U ile d an outla.v o f about £33IM). O f that sum a balance o f £600 « l l l remained to be donated. Three scholarships had been founded in connection w ith the college. One by hims e lf and Mrs. Robson, in m em ory o f their son, by a donation o f £ 1000, to be known as the Reginald Robson scholarship, and two by M r Kred.

I asked, concerning Man- n ixlsm , "W h a t Is the doctr ine? W h a t Is Its meaning. Its in tention , and p u rpose?" And to show w hy I put the question, and what it was that I desired to know, I set fo r th t!ic tw o poin ts o f toe doctrine which are tlie gravam en against tt. These are.

F o r I n o te that, when critic ised , he thought It a sufficient answer to say thati the c r it ic was on ly an Au stra lian ; th a t be has declared tha t be w ill not regard a m a jor ity ' v o te as binding unless It ag ree w ith his, op in ion ; and that he bas expressed his ap -' p rova i o f the booliganlBm o f W arw ick , cu lling It " a touch o f Sinn F e in "— eviden tly . In his opin ion, the superla tive o f praise, but rea lly to e basest th ing y e t said about tb a t unfortunate o rgan isation ; a saying quite on a I©Y-eI, fo r dulness and vu lga rity , w ith the first insu lt th a t he burled a t our in te lle c t and conscience. And we sha ll not decline such champ ions as th is? T h ey sha ll come am ongst us to te ll us what our h isto ry has been, and wn sha ll n o t question th e ir know ledge?

I hava questioned them, I suspect them , and m y suspicions a re not re moved. m y questions are n o t answered by an e loquent exhortation to v o te " N o " on the 20th.

The reveren d re c to r 's le tte r , then, as It Is no answ er to my questions, requ ires no answer from m e: nor would I. Indeed, en ter on any p eevish ly m eticu lous critic ism ; s ligh t excesses here '%'nd tbere are but tb e necessary exuberance o f tha t w ell-know n p erfe rv ld quality.
