Miss Katherine McGregor reviewed most interestingly the chapter of pur study book which dealth with "High­ er Education in ilndia." In thejast century India is realizing the need of more western education as a means in helping to break? down the cast sys­ tem. Education for- women is being stressed, and more and more women in India are taking advantage of these great opportunities presented to htem by the Christian Church. It was in­ teresting to note that a bigger per­ centage of people from the lower castes are becoming• Christians than there are from the higher castes. And at the present time about one out -jof every sixty persons in India is Christ­ ian. At the close of the meeting a dainty lunch was served and a pleasant soc­ ial hour was enjoyed.
