Australian and N. 7,. Cable Association
(Received August 11, 2 p.m.) PEKIN, August 10. The wharf coolies at Shanghai have again struck. A eonfereneo of missionaries is being called to discuss the future of mission schools throughout China, in view of the widespread movement among students not to return to the schools, owing to nationalistic and anti-foreign agitation. Some missionaries didyociitu reopening for the next term ;■ others favor closing for periods of three months to a year. ■Still others suggest handing over to native Christians for terms of one to three years. Meantime many Chinese are withdrawing from the mission churches and forming independent churches of their own. A further question has arisen as to whether or not to hand oyer tho churches to native Christians. Many missionaries incline to the view that the feeling of bitterness and hostility at present is not opportune to such a course.
