DR. ERICKSON TELLS OF WORK IN ALBANIA

Dr. C. Telford Erickson, Director of the Albanian-American School of Agriculture will give an illustrated lecture at the Lyman House, 25 Follen Street, to night at 8 o'clock.

All of Harvard's missionary fund goes to the support of the school. A Harvard representative, B. K. Schneider, was sent to aid in the work by the Phillips Brooks House Association. He is at present engaged in the work of the school.

"The Albanians are in a primitive condition," stated Dr. Erickson. "There is no sanitation, no control of disease practically no education whatsoever.

"Thirty-three million people populate this territory. Thirty million of them are for the most part illiterate, half-starved, neglected peasantry. Our school and one other at Salouika are the only schools under American patronage serving this abandoned class.

"I have seen hundreds of these people driven into churches, and with doors locked, set on fire, while troopers open the roof and pick off dozens with rifle shots Starving, and under such circumstances as this yet, they will not beg or accept charity. They are an exceedingly dignified race."
