l]ou, of Kobe Colleqe, Japan, and we, of Rockford are sisters. Traditions, symbols of wisdom and happiness, art, and poetry are taught to Japanese girls in the same way as they are proffered to us. Japanese antiquity was not very different from our present mode of life. The realms of seven ancient gods, which were significant of the expectations and wants of the Japanese people, are very nice categories for the events of a year at Rockford. It is not being bold to conjecture that in many countries we may find likenesses of interests, ideals, and attitudes. IPe need only to be coascious of them. J . vessel, with its sacred cargo of the Seven Qods of Fortune may be seen floating gracefully on the surface of many an artistic Japanese vase, or woven into rich-hued satins. It is a precious emblem to the Oriental. The portraying of the Takara Bune is the symbolising of wis- dom, happiness, long life, and wealth — good fortune very properly coming last inasmuch as wisdom and happiness are there. In Japan the scholar turns to Fukurokujui for wis- dom; those hungry for everyday activity supplicate Ebiscu; the warrior calls on Beshamon, the god of competition, for a victorious campaign. Benten is besought by women who would be happy; the children look to Hotei, their fun-maker, for playthings most desired; Daikoku is sought by those who need earth- ly treasures. And last is Juroju who signifies harmonious longevity.
