- Miss Root, who spoke very interestingly at the Pioneer Club yesterday afternoon, developed the idea- that a great aid to universal peace would bo a. universal language which would cnablo all peoples to converso together, and thus romove many misunderstandings. Bahaihi, a great Eastern prophet, had, years ago, drawn up the principles which ho considered would bring stable peace to the world, and it was said that Prosidont Wilson, before he drew up his l'onrteon Points had studied these- principles well beforehand. Universal education, and tho standardisation of certain university courses, under which groups of students would bo able to visit other countries than their own, would mako for peace on sound lines. A great international education congress had been held at San Francisco recently, and the next would be at Pekin. It would be a. great thing if New Zealand educationists could attend that congress, and get some of the educational authorities to visit this country, bringing knowledge, and getting it at the same time. Miss Root said that any country which denied to its women the educational facilities extended to its men had not learned the most elementary lessons in true progress. It had been said by an Eastern sage that women were the two wings of the bird of humanity. If thoy were not equal, then tho full power and beauty of the bird would bo lost. The solving of the economic problem of humanity was another vital factor in the maintenance of peace. MiSB Root spoke of the high attainments required of Chinese students, which included the studying and speaking of two other languages besido their own. A very hearty vote of thanks was given to Miss Root for her illuminating address.

It was the mission of the universities to create and educate this type of mind.

The following from tho "New Zealand Herald" is interesting from the fact that a publicly-voiced appeal has come from the Anglican Church to girls who belong to that. communion, such an appeal being a most unusual one made in such a manner. It is a fine thing that the church authorities should have taken this course, and there is little doubt that a response will be made, for so little is_ known of the work of* the church or its necessities—which always existed. It is to be hoped that a similar appeal will follow from other centres : —"A strong challenge to Auckland girle to give up some of their pleasures and to interest themselves in social welfare work was voiced by Canon H. Mason in addressing a meeting of St. Mary's Homes Association. Present conditions at St. Mary's, he said, constituted a challenge to church people of tho diocese, and it was a challenge which had not yet been accepted. It had been suggested that the lady superintendent, Miss Girdler, should be given more assistance in filling the vacancies on her staff. At present there was no body of skilled attendants on which she could draw. She had to advertise, or get outside help in any way she could. What are the girls of leisure doing those who are connected with—l won't, say attached to—our church ? Do you fad any of them taking up this work? The superintendent needs trained assist-ance-surely this is a work in which some ot our Aucklaud girls might well engage! I suggest that the church make a frontal attack on all the girls ol leisure, pointing out that this is a worthy and appropriate work for them. They are good-hearted, but they are thoughtless. Do not let us take it for granted they will not do it. Just let us tackle it put it before them. M the work develops at the Homes, it will become more than ever necessary that we should have a trained and cap able staff to deal with it ' " P
