INTERESTING VISITOR

WIFE OF CHINESE DOCTOR A visitor to Auckland early next month will be Mrs. C. T'Eng Koo, wife of Dr. T. K. Koo, eminent Chinese educationist. She is accompanying her husband on a world tour organised by the World Student Christian Federation. Dr. Koo is associate general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. in China.

Although she has travelled extensively in India, Palestine, the United States of America and Northern Europe, this is Mrs. Koo's first visit to Now Zealand. When interviewed recently in Australia, Mrs. Koo, who is very interested "in many forms of women's work, said women's emancipation was growing rapidly in China. The movement was comparatively recent, but a great deal had already been accomplished, much having been brought about by the help of enlightened and educated Chinese men. There was no resentment at all on the part of the men in China, but rather they tended to co-operate with the women wherever possible. In almost every Government organisation in China there were now women working side by side with men.
