M. C. a. s international work in 54 countries, as he told the story of China's reawakening from isola tion and the part that the Y: M. C-A. is taking in it. In his talk ' to the freshmen yesterday, Barnett, who has just returned from China; told how the Chinese are stepping from medievalism to the age of the automobile and airplane, skip ping the horse and buggy age. As an example of this transition he said, "When I first went to China, it was indecent for a girl to be seen walking down the street ; recently, 600 girls dress ed in shorts took part-in the na tional athletic championships. Emphasis , As the speaker continued, he emphasized the fact that China is emerging into the world, and that, j ust like her youth, the youth of America .must prepare itself for international citizen ship as well as state and national 11H70T1 cTiir "The old Chinese idea was that the superior man made use of his mind and that the inferior man made use of his body," the speaker stated. "The Y. M. C. A. started the Chinese on the road to athletic participation when its representatives laid the first track in China in 1898." . Three Principles The three great principles of the Chinese government now in the process of formation, Bar nett x declared, are patterned after Abraham Lincoln's ideas. They are: Of the people mean ing democracy ; for the peopl meaning socialism in some de gree; and by the people mean ing nationalism. I "The Orient is heading toward America at the rate of 150 miles per hour," he continued as he spoke of the new transpacific air line. "The impact of the influ ence of America will be the emergence of a new culture com mon to us all." After quoting Confucius' statement, "All under heaven are members of one family," Bar nett closed his address with the assertion that the Y. M. C. A. is one of the most important links between American youth and the youth of other nations.
