ONE-FOURTH WORLD'S
WOMEN IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent Employees in
Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom
en and Children Working
Twelve Hour Shifts.
One-fourth of the. women In the
world are Chinese-200,000,000 of
them. They are going Into industry
In large numbers to work long hours
and for little money.
In Shanghai, for Instance, seventy
per cent of the employees In the
cotton mills are women and children.
Working hours for, spinners are from
six in the morning until six at night
and from six at night until six In the
morn!ag. Weavers work from 5:30 in
the morning until seven at night and
the wages are from ten to twenty cents
a da3r. Hundreds of women are em
ployed In silk filature mills, standing
hour after hour washing cocoons In
basins of boiling water In the ex
cessively bot rooms necessary for
apartments where fine silk is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 150,000
women in factories at a maximum
wage of forty cents a day for women
and of fifteen cents a day for girls.
As part of its program of world
service for women the National Young
Women's Christian Association is ex
pecting to put on its staff of sec
retaries in China an expert on in
dustrial conditions who will develop
social work In factories, and work to
Improve conditions for women em
ployees. This work will Include the

Physical Training School Main
tained in Shanghai.
The vast majority of Chinese men
remember their mothers as cripples.
Many a girl wanders Into a mission
school who has not had her own feet
bound, but has never seen a woman
of her own class who could walk, and,
therefore, she walks In a most ungain
ly fashion-scarcely conscious of tier
natural feet
The Chinese Medical Association
an Association composed only of Chi
nese physicians mostly graduates from
American and English Institutions
have asked the entire educated commu
nity of the country to co-operate in
better health for the children of Chi
na. All the Mission Boards operating
In China felt that one of the greatest I
contributions the Young Women's
Christian Association could offer to
the health of China would be to .es- ?
tablish a normal school for the train
ing of physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, which Is j
the greatest port in China, the nation
al committee established such a school J
In 1914. The school has won favor |
with all educationists, both missionary
and government. There have already
been nine graduates from this school, i :
Miss Ying Mei Chun, a graduate of ?
the Wellesley School of Physical Edu- j
cation, has been dean of the school, j
Graduates of the school are scattered ;
from Canton to Peking, teaching with .
conspicuous success in twelve mission
and government schools.
