YI-SUNG WANTS MEN TO
TEACH BIBLE TO CHINESE

Sung Yi-sung, Chinese student at Wooster, has a solution to the problem presented by the killing of Elsie Sigel in New York and Miss Hoffman, the actress, in Berlin, by Chinese lovers.

His plan is to put young men in charge of missionary Sunday schools for the Chinese, instead of girls like Elsie Sigel. Here is his statement on the situation:

"If we will stop and count how many cases of this kind, and even of worse nature, are monthly, weekly and daily happening, we see that agitation against a whole nation on account of a few bad representatives is not consistent to true American spirit.

But, first of all, the general public is being brought to see the real internal condition of those districts they call Chinatowns. It is a shame that in the great cities, like New York and San Francisco, the places of great police and detective forces, such dirty, disgraceful and unreachable places should exist. How ridiculous it is that in China opium is being prohibited, while in America it's still widely used.

As to the Sunday school question, it seems that opinions differ greatly. To me there is no reason why young men can not take up the work. If it happens that there will be no attendance under their charge, then it proves, to some extent, that the real spiritual work can not be accomplished."
