Mrs. Gottlieb introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Paraknath Das, whose subject was "Educational Ten- dencies in Modern India." He says that statistics show India to be the lowest of all countries in the world in its criminals; that we can get nothing of the traditions of India with- out studying its folk-lore and stories entitled "Cradle Tales of Hinduism," by Mary Noble. He told short stories of ancient literature of India trying to portray to us their philosophy. His country is greatly indebted to us for our Missionaries, especially in the 19th century, but he says our methods, while very good are also harmful, as the missionaries try to change the natives completely. India has a defi- nite purpose to fulfill, and must not copy all from the West.

We also laid a roof for Mrs. in Evanston for a total invest- ment of $38.50. Both roofs are made from ma- terials, and applied in such a manner that they will outlast the buildings to which they were applied. They have increased the appearance and value of these properties a goodly percent. Both homes now enjoy complete protection against weather, wear and fire.
