ENGLISH SPOKEN EVERYWHERE
Indian People Not Inferior to Western Races—Religions Are Thick as the Proverbial Hops.
H. C. Herman, formerly general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association at the University, is now religious work director of the association at Madras, India. In this position, he is associated with C. W. Whitehair, former student secretary for Kansas, who is acting general secretary of the Madras Association. Both H. Mr. Herman and Mr. Whitehair sailed for India in January.
Madras is the third largest city in India with a population of over half a million. It is the commercial and educational capital of Southern India and the seat of government for the presidency of Madras.
Herman writes that his work is chiefly among the students of the city, of whom more than three thousand and are within a radius of half a mile of the association headquarters. He says: "Everybody speaks English here; even the coolies pulling rickshaws can understand it. And the way some of these Hindus use English puts us to shame—they are so fluent. The are sharp too, very intelligent and don't care to listen to you very long unless you have something to say.
A CONFUSION OF RELIGIONS
"One is quickly impressed with the idea that these people are not inferr-
able," said John, many ways, and superiors in others.

"There is such a confusion of religions, castes and peoples here that it is almost depressing, and I believe it is upon the people too. In walking a block you will meet Hindus, representing perhaps a dozen or more castes, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Christians, men of no religion. The men of the East take their religion, and prepare for their beliefs, but in many ways there seems to be little moral stain in them.
"The Tamil people who predominate in Southern India are rather undersized, studious, kind and really lovable. I have never met a people that have had the peculiar attraction that these people have."
Herman says his work not only makes him responsible for the religious meetings of the Association and the Bible classes among the graduate students, but that he will give instruction in the gymnasium and in all sorts of outdoor sports and edit a monthly magazine. In addition to this he is expected to study half time on the native language.
