February 26, 1918.

The Tuesday Club met in upper Eliot Hall, with a large attendance, Mrs. Rees presiding. After the reading of the records and a few notices, Mrs. Brackett, Chairman of the Legislative Committee, brought to the attention of the club the hearing to be held next day at the State House on the national prohibition amendment, and urged as many people as could to be present.
The afternoon was in charge of the History and Travel Department, and Mrs. Souther presented the speaker Mr. Woon Young Chun, a native of China, but at present a student in this country. His subject was "New Forces in Old China", and in very clear and delightful English, with a most engaging manner, he held the attention of his audience while he eplained in a sympathetic way many of the so-called peculiarities of the Chinese, their customs, manners and institutions, showing their origin and development. This explanation he thought was needed as a background to the understanding of the movements going on in China today. He considered that the three great forces at work today in China are education, morality and nationality.
Tea in the lowerh all concluded one of the most interesting and instructive afternoons of the year.
