Yesterday all of the High School pu
pils had a great surprise when Cap
atin Shearer of the “Delwood” extend
ed an invitation to the students to
come aboard the boat. After arriv
ing Mr. Haines showed them the var
ious instruments on board and explain
ed their construction and uses. This
was particularly interesting to the
Science classes. One of the many
interesting objects was a machine for
ascertaining the depth of the water.
Another was used for the purpose of
locating obstructions in the path of the
ship and for telling how far away the
obstruction was. This is the first
time the pupils of any of the schools
of the territory have had the oppor
tunity to go aboard the ship. A word
of thanks is extended to Captain
Shearer and to Mr. Haines for giving
the pupils this opportunity.

relief following the catastrophy of
1923 will be commensed early next
spring. The amount to be expended
on the hospitals is approximately S,
500,000 yen.
For the Tokio Fraternity Memori
al Hospital a site valued at 625,000
yen has been purchased in Honjo
and the Fraternal Memorial Hospital
Foundation has begun the work of
training 100 nurses who will be used
in the new building. The hospital
building and its equipment will cost
about 2,375,000 yen and the Founda
tion has set aside 4,000,000 yen as an
operating reserve fund. The build
ing and equipment of the memerial
hospital to be established at Yoko
hama will cost 500,000 yen and this
institution will have double this
amount as ite reserve fund.
The building for the memorial hos
pital in Tokio will be of iron and
concrete structure and is designed
to be proof both against fire and
earthquake. It will be completed
wdthin two years. The Hospital
Foundation has been ready for some
time to proceed with the building,
but the work has been held back
pending the completion of the ad
justment of the sale of the land
which will be effected before the
end of the year by the Reconstruc
tion Bureau, according to the au
thorities.
The American Red Cross Society
transmitted to the Fraternity Memor
ial Hospital Foundation $3,000,000
last year and $500,000 later. At that
time, the American organization sug
gested to the Japanese authorities
that the fund might be used for the
establishment of a memorial hospi
tal since the funds for relief work
were no longer needed. While the
offer was made unconditionally, the
Japanese officials concurred with
the American R»d Cross headquar
ters. Since the remittance, the fund
has been swelled bfr interest and
by the time th ehospitals are com
pleted, more than 500,000 yen will
have been accrued in this way.
