the expectations in connection with!
our schools. In the main he dwelt i

may expcctjfrom our 'Schools, what
%e should expect from our teachers, j
what the teachers may expect from j
the parents, what we cj>n expect from'
trtir Parent-Teacher Associations. Rev.!
HiCe summed up the various points
as follows: “We may expect fropi'
the school that our children may in
addition to being given the best in
tellectual training, be trained to be
good American citizens; we should
expect from the teachers that they
give the .best that Is in them for the
welfare of the children; that the!
teacher may expect from the parents
friendly cooperation and a living sal
try; from the P.-T. A. we should ex
pect to be given the opportunity to
become better acquainted.”

LOS ANGELES* May 15.—India
is well satisfied with British rule,
according to Rustum Ruatumjee,
editor of the. Bombay Oriental Re
view, who arrived here recently to
deliver a series of lectures on ppliti
cal conditions in that country/*
“With the exception of ?. small
hut vejy noisy group of radicals
sonstantly agituting for a change,”
Mr. Rustumjee said, ‘‘the people of
ndia are supporting British control
or I hey know that without It India
vould soon become worse than Rus
sia.
“India is a very different country
’rem what it was twenty years
igo,” he added, ' when the farmers,
.he backbone of the* nation, were'
Hopelessly in debt, living in mud
nits without any of the comforts of
iivlllzation. Today the majority fo
armers live In cottages and enjoy
iome of the simple delights of clv
llzation, such as shoes and furni
ure. This improvement in economic
londftions have been brought about
iy the British methods of credit.”
