Girls enter at 13 for a five yeat‘s course. Seventyâ€"five per cent of the christian girls and women of Japan are graduates of St. Margaret‘s.

Six weeks later St. Margaret‘s was reâ€"opened in quarters loaned by Mr.| Ishii,‘a Christian Japanese, who gave up ten rooms in his orphanage wl house the four hundred St. Margaret‘s girls. Here they lived a year and a half. Immediately after the earthâ€" quake, the Japanese government ofâ€" fered Bishop McKim $35,000 for five years without interest and at a nomâ€" inal interest for twentyâ€"five years longer to keep the school open tintil other arrangements could be made. Land has been procured and temporâ€" ary quarters put up, but they are enâ€" tirely inadequate both as to space and comfort. MANY ARE PRESENT AT "STUDENT STUNTS" Three iniportant additions to the Burnham Library of Architecture at the Art Institute have been secured through the generosity of its friends. These are a collection of photographs, m select group of working drawings, and an historic collection of French books of the greatest importance. The drawings so far received show St. Thomas church, the Shelton hotel, the Guaranty Trust building of New York, the Scottish Rite temple of Washington ; Harkness _ Memorial Quadrangle at New Haven; the Harâ€" per Library and Tribune Tower of Chicago and the Newboid residence at Far Hills The third most strikâ€" ing development is the acquisition of a remarkable collection of several hundred â€" volumes, a _ considerable group of architectural plates, and a number of original drawings. ~ Architectural Collection Is Augâ€" The chief archifect of Napoleon I acquired these books in the first half of the nineteenth century and they have been kept in his family intact until they were offered to the Burnâ€" ham Library of Architecture. The committee on Burnham library has asked members and friends of the architéctural profession to help by subscription to. the Burnham fund for payment of this obligation. As a result the collection will become a joint gift of many.

"They are much like other women," she reports, "ouly more so." Lady Rhonda, in a recent address, maintained that "the existence of the leisured woman constitutes a grave menace to civilization." On the other hand, G. K. Chesterton argued that women should keep out of the "flat, futile, vulgar, vile stupidity" of modâ€" ern commercial life and stay at home to maintain there the "only remaining shrine of liberty,â€" individuality and creative â€" power." Bernard â€" Shaw closed the debate by expressing his belief that "we must all look forward to the day when every one will have his bit of work to do every day, and it wil} be a crime to idle." vey of Bryn Mawr alumnae, reported by the Woman‘s Home Companion, shows that 43 per cent of the gradâ€" uates who replied to a questionnaire have continued their careers since they became wives.
