NOTES AND NEWS ON INTERNATIONALEDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS1. Signposts of popularity of English

The Northern Peace Union, composed of peace societies inSweden, Norway and Denmark, at a congress held in Copenhagenon July 1 and 2, 1921, adopted a resolution expressing as its opin?ion that the English language should be adopted as the interna?tional language of the world.American students will be interested to hear that Latvia, oneof the new Baltic States, has decided to make English the firstforeign language to be taught in its university and schools. Eng?lish, therefore, henceforth will take a very important place in theeducation of this new State.

The Rumanian Government has shown its appreciation of thevalue of the English language by a regulation making it a com?pulsory subject in all lyc?es. In order that Rumanians may learnsomething about English, the Government invited ProfessorCraigie, co-editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, to spend afew weeks in Rumania last summer to organize a pioneer summerschool for English in Transylvania and to lecture on English.

Japan has decided that spoken English on a phonetic basismust be taught in her State schools. It is realized that theJapanese are seriously handicapped, both commercially and so?cially, owing to their inability to speak the English language,although they can read and write itmore or less fluently.Mr. Harold E. Palmer, lecturer on spoken English at Univer?sity College, London, has been appointed linguistic adviser to theJapanese Department of Education, and sailed for Tokyo inJanuary.

2. Student Tours and Summer SessionsThe Institute of International Education has given its official

sponsorship to a group of four tours to European Countries, whichhave been organized for the summer of 1922 for the advantage ofstudents and instructors in American colleges and universities.Each of the four tours, in addition to being under the generalsponsorship of the Institute, is also under the special auspices ofthe appropriate international society in this country, as follows:Students' Tour to Great Britain, The English-Speaking Union;Students' Tour to France, Federation de 1'Alliance Fran?aise;Students' Tour to Italy, The Italy America Society; Students'Tour to the Scandinavian Countries, The American-ScandinavianFoundation.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS 559The underlying purpose of the Students' Tours has been statedthus by one of America's foremost diplomatists: "It ismy beliefthat no factor in international peace counts for more than the

understanding and sympathy enjoyed mutually by the peoples oftwo nations, and that no factor creating such sympathy and under?standing counts for more than the exchange of visits by thoseyoung men and women who are still in their educational periodand who are charged with the stewardship of the future." TheStudents' Tours have been organized under the general super?vision of a Board of Advisers composed of the following: Dr.Stephen P. Duggan, Director of the Institute of International

Education, chairman; President Frank Aydelotte, American Sec?retary of the Rhodes Scholarship Trustees; Dr. S. P. Capen,Director of the American Council on Education; Mr. Paul D.Cravath, President of the Italy America Society; Professor JohnW. Cunliffe, Secretary of the American University Union in Eu?rope; Dr. John H. Finley, former Commissioner of Education ofof New York State; Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve, chairman of theCommittee on International Relations of the American Associa?tion of University women; Mr. Hamilton Holt, President of theAmerican-Scandinavian Foundation; Mr. William Fellowes Mor?gan, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Italy AmericaSociety; Mr. Frank D. Pavey, General Vice-president of theFederation de l'Alliance Fran?aise; the Honorable George W.

Wickersham, chairman of the board of directors of the EnglishSpeaking Union.

3. Summer Sessions in Foreign UniversitiesThe eleventh summer session for foreign students of the Uni?

versity of Madrid will be held July 8 to August 19. The aim is tooffer to foreigners who are engaged in teaching or studying Spanishan opportunity of extending their knowledge by means of lecturesand practical classes, given by specialists in their respective sub?jects. To facilitate the attendance of Americans at this session,the Instituto de las Espanas of the Institute of International

Education, with which the American Association of Teachers ofSpanish cooperates, is planning a second trip to Spain this year.The party under the direction of Sr. Joaqu?n Ortega of the Uni?versity of Wisconsin, will sail on the Steamship Mauritania onJune 27. Special opportunities will be given the group to see notonly what is accessible to the ordinary tourist, but also manyintimate and interesting aspects of Spanish life. Arrangementshave been made for week-end excursions and visits about Spainunder the direction of well-known experts.One of the outcomes of the war has been the establishment of asummer school of music in the Palace of Fontainebleau. Thefaculty of the school is composed of some of the most eminentmuscians connected with the French Conservatoire. Instructionis given in harmony, organ, piano, violin, harp, cello, singing, com?

position, accompaniment, conducting, history of music, FrenchTHE JOURNALOF INTERNATIONALELATIONS,VOL. 12, NO. 4, 1922

diction, etc. The list of professors includes such distinguishedmen as M. Paul Vidal and M. I. Philipp, teachers at the ParisConservatoire and M. Andre Hekking, Albert Wolff and PierreChereau, ex-regisseur general du Theatre de l'Op?ra Comique deParis. The school opened for the first time in the summer of 1921,when 85 American students were enrolled. The French Govern?ment has arranged that students attending the FontainebleauSchool shall receive a 30 per cent reduction on the steamers of theFrench Line, while the price charged for board, tuition and lodginghas been made somoderate as to place the school within the reachof all. The directors feel that only thoroughly trained musicians

and teachers can profit by this short summer course.For the past sixteen years there has been a University SummerSchool at Florence (Universita Estivi di Firenza) where courses forforeigners in Italian History, Language, Literature and Art havebeen offered. This University School was kept alive during thewar only through the persistent efforts of its friends. This year'ssession August 16 to September 30, includes theoretical and prac?tical courses in the Italian Language, the Works of Dante, Historyof Italian Art, and Italian History, especially of Florence. Therewill be visits to museums and galleries in Florence and to theprincipal towns of Tuscany and Umbria. Prof. Bruno Roselli andProf. Elizabeth Haight of Vassar College will take a group ofAmerican students to Italy to attend the University SummerSchool at Florence. During the voyage only the Italian languagewill be spoken among the group and a part of each day will bedevoted to intensive study of the language. Before proceeding toFlorence the group will visit the important cities and hill towns ofItaly, making in each place a special study of the important his?torical or artistic leader or period. Viz., Giotto in Padua, St.Catherine at Sienna, early university life at Bologna.The National University of Mexico put into operation last year,for the first time, a Summer School for American students in theCity of Mexico. In launching this plan the Mexican Governmentis striving to bring about a wider recognition of its universities andcolleges. The United States has sent students to the Universitiesof England, France, Belgium and Germany, but the SummerSession of 1921 marked the first real representation of the UnitedStates in any Mexican university. Another express purpose inholding these summer sessions is to eradicate any wrong impres?sions which Americans may hold concerning Mexican culture andcivilization and to promote a greater friendship between the tworepublics. The faculty of the Summer Session is composed of theforemost scholars of Mexico, many of whom are graduates of

Harvard, Columbia and other well-known institutions of theUnited States. Pedro Enriquez Urena, a graduate of the Univer?sity Salamanca, Spain, and of the Columbia University, will bethe director of the session. Instruction will be given in Spanish

Phonetics, and Conversation; Spanish, Latin American and Mexi?can Literature, History, Art, Archaeology, as well as a course in

The dates of the 1922 session are July 12 to Septem?ber 9. Free transportation from the border to Mexico City isfurnished all students by the Government and an effort is beingmade to make all expenses connected with the course as low aspossible.

5. Foreign Students7 DinnerThe Chamber of Commerce of the City of Philadelphia gave adinner on March 9, at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel to 400 foreign

students, attending the colleges and schools of Philadelphia andvicinity. Fifty-four countries were represented, and of these,China led with 71 men and women attending the 10 PhiladelphiaInstitutions having foreign students, which include the Pennsyl?vania, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore, Women's MedicalCollege, Textile School, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy andJefferson Medical College.

6. Proposed National Union of English StudentsA movement has recently been set on foot to link up the studentsin all the English and Welsh Universities in a National Students'

Union, to represent their interests and organize their cooperationwith the student bodies of other countries. The aims of thiscooperation are two-fold : ideal, for improving the mutual under?standing and goodwill of the educated classes of the future in alllands; and practical, to create opportunities for wider educationthrough international exchange of scientific information, corre?spondence, and easier foreign travel and study. Several confer?ences of students have been held this year to discuss the projectand during the University term now beginning its definite adop?tion will be proposed in the different Universities. The Union

The In?ternational Confederation of Students has already admitted theprospective English Union to membership. Seventeen otherEuropean nations have joined the Confederation.

4608. International Educational Conferences

The inaugural educational conference held under the auspicesof the Pan Pacific Union, assembled at Honolulu on August 1,1921, and remained in session until August 24. The conferencewas summoned by the United States Federal Bureau of Washingto and invitations requesting cooperation were addressed to thegovernments of nations bordering on the Pacific Ocean. Aroundthe shores of the Pacific, the ocean of the future, dwell more thanhalf of mankind, organized in 22 distinct nations and separatedfrom one another by artificial barriers and congenital distrust.The Pan Pacific Union seeks primarily by educational agency tobroaden their view of the Pacific and its problems. There werepresent fully accredited delegates from Korea, Philippines, NewZealand, Canada, India, Australia, Russia and the South AmericanRepublics. The conference was unique in scope and personnel,and the papers and discussions reached such a high plane of interestand possessed such international significance that participationin the proceedings was broadly educational and gave new ap?proaches to a large number of educational problems. A veryvaluable feature of the Conference consisted of the facilities pro?vided the delegates for investigating the great political problemsof the Pacific and to gain first-hand information from expertscapable of dealing with such salient questions as: Pacific Disar?mament, Racial Problems of Hawaii, Japanese Immigration inCalifornia, Yap Cables, The Shantung Question, Spheres of In



10/13

566 INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRSterest in China, Position of Korea in the Japanese Empire, Pacific

Mandates, Independence of the Philippines, Japanese in Siberia,Open Door in China, Naval Power in the Pacific, etc. Privatesessions were arranged for the benefit of delegates at which therepresentatives of a particular nation would give a frank presenta?tion of political problems from their view-point. As these dis?cussions were confidential and closed to the press, and as thespeakers were fully accredited experts in their special provinces,a rare opportunity was afforded of gaining insight into these vital

matters.In September, 1921, an International Students' Congress was

held in Mexico City. Although the principal universities of theworld were invited to send representatives to the Congress, whichwas planned by the Mexican Federation of Students in honor of thefirst centennial of their national independence, the HispanicAmerican element dominated the session by an overwhelmingmajority. A number of resolutions were adopted with regard tofreedom of opinion among students, the attitude of universitystudents towards economic, social and international problems, andthe extension of the students' movement. Representatives weresent to Europe to establish branches of the International Students'Federation in Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Austria.In November a conference of eastern men's colleges and uni?versities was called at Princeton University to determine the stepsto be taken in stimulating an interest among the college studentsof the East in the Washington Conference on the Limitation ofArmament. Almost simultaneously, representatives of a numberof women's colleges met at Vassar College. These conferenceswere shortly followed by a convocation in Chicago of representa?tives of 225 colleges and universities, with student bodies totallingsome 300,000 students, which resulted in the formation of anational organization, the National Student Committee for theLimitation of Armament. Charles Denby, Jr., of Princeton Uni?versity, nephew of Secretary of the Navy Denby, was made pres?ident of the organization, and John Rothschild, Harvard 1921,executive chairman. During the Washington Conference theNational Student Committee sought to educate student opinionupon the issues before the Conference. It supplied to collegepublications weekly articles on the Conference by recognizedauthorities, including Frederick J. Palmer and William Hard. Itstimulated discussion meetings and mass meetings, at which reso?lutions were adopted with regard to the work of the Conference.Finally, on February 20, a delegation from the National StudentCommittee, went to Washington and presented to PresidentHarding a report on the Committee's attempt to crystallize stu?dent opinion on the armaments and Far Eastern problems and,on the basis of resolutions independently adopted by a number ofcolleges and universities, an expression of opinion to the effectthat the treaties signed at the Conference should be ratified as"definite steps toward the limitation of armaments by interna

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS 567tional agreement'7 and that the United States should participatein the Genoa Conference.

The Far Eastern Educational Congress was held in Maniladuring the first week in February. The Educational Congressbrought to Manila many prominent educators from Far Easterncountries, which helped to promote cooperation between educa?tional efforts of the Insular Gov't, religious bodies and privateinstitutions.

A gathering of unusual international significance will be heldat Peking, China, April 4 to 9, 1922. It is the eleventh conferenceof the World's Student Christian Federation, composed of theStudent Christian Movements throughout the world and contain?ing a membership of nearly 200,000 students and professors inChristian Associations or unions in more than 2500 universitiesand colleges, and institutions of higher learning. Delegates frommore than thirty nations will attend the conference. Tsing HuaCollege, Peking, has generously offered its buildings and facilitiesfor the sessions of the Conference and the entertainment of thedelegates. In speaking of the conference, Dr. John R. Mott,Chairman of the Federation, says: "It would be difficult to over?state the extreme importance of having such a conference meet atthis fateful moment in Far Eastern affairs and in the relationsbetween Orient and Occident."

In discussing additional elements which give the Peking meetinggreater significance in some respects than any of its ten predeces?sors, Dr. Mott points out that "students of the New China, as ofno other country, are today streaming out over the world, and aremost responsive to the voices and demands of the modern age.Contrary to popular impression, Chinese students at home, notsimply those who are studying abroad or who have studied abroad,are keenly interested and concerned in international questions andinternational relations.

While virtually every nation of Europe, North America andAustralasia, and parts of South America and Africa, will be repre?sented at the conference, it will be predominatingly Asiatic.During the weeks following the Federation Conference thevarious student centers of China will be visited by internationaldeputations of Conference delegates for the purpose of conveyingto the students of China the Christian message of the Federation.The third international Congress on Moral Education will beheld in Geneva July 28 to August 1, under the patronage of theSwiss Federal Council. The first Congress was held in London in1908 and the second at the Hague in 1912. The subjects to bediscussed will be the International Spirit and the Teaching of

History, and the Solidarity of Education.The celebration of the Brazilian Centenary of Independencewill be held inRio de Janiero next September. In connection withthis great celebration there will be a series of conferences held invarious parts of South America. The nineteenth Congress ofAmericanists will be held in Rio de Janiero August 20 to 30; andthe fifth Pan American Conference, it is expected will be held inSantiago, Chile in the late autumn, probably beginning about the
