Only two months after graduating, Maria was faced with a new and different kind of challenge.
She was invited to be a delegation to the International Women’s Congress, she had a great success
once again. She gave two speeches-about education for women and about the condition of working
women in Italy. Both speeches were received with great enthusiasm. Newspaper reporters from all
over Europe interviewed her and praised her in their articles. They described the young doctor from
Italy as both intelligent and charming. They were amazed, too, that she had used no notes for her long
speeches.
When she returned from Berlin, Maria settled down to serious work in Rome. She continued to
work in several hospitals, including a woman’s hospital and a children’s hospital. She also had some
private patients. Some of these patients wrote letters of thanks that Maria’s mother kept for many
years. From these letters, it is clear that Maria was no ordinary doctor. She often stayed for hours
with her patients, particularly those who couldn’t afford nursing help. One time, for example, Maria
arrived at the home of the young mother of very sick baby twins. She saw at once that the mother was
desperately tired, so Maria sent her to bed. Then she bathed the babies, prepared their food, and
stayed with them all day.

On Friday, June 12th, I woke up at six o’clock and no wonder, it was my birthday.
But of course I was not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity
until a quarter to seven. Then I could bear it no longer, and went to the dining room,
where I received a warm welcome from Moortje (the cat).
Soon after seven I went to Mummy and Daddy and then to the sitting room to undo
my presents. The first to greet me was you, possibly the nicest of all. Then on the table
there were a bunch of roses, a plant, and some peonies, and more arrived during the day.
I got masses of things from Mummy and Daddy, and was thoroughly spoiled by
various friends. Among other things I was given Camera Obscura, a party game, lots of
sweets, chocolates, a puzzle, a brooch, Tales and Legends of the Netherlands by Joseph
Cohen, Daisy’s Mountain Holiday (a terrific book) and some money. Now I can byThe
Myths of Greece and Rome – grand!
Then Lies called for me and we went to school. During recess I treated everyone to
sweet biscuits, and then we had to go back to our lessons.
Now I must stop. Bye-bye, we’re going to be great pals!

Asia News Network (The Yomiuri Shimbun), Sci-Tech. Japanese researchers have developed a
robotic system that can convey the sense of touch-including temperature, hardness and texture-from a
robot to human hand. The system was developed by Susumu Tachi, a special professor at Keiko
University, and his development staff.
The user wears a helmet with a monitor display, a vest and gloves that can receive the ‘sense of
touch’ of fabric and objects grasped by the robot. The vest transmits information about the wearer’s
position and posture, while the gloves recreate the sense of touch and temperature of the object.
When the user tries to touch an item displayed on the monitor, the robot grasps the real item and
transmits data about its temperature and hardness.

marbles in a glass container and detect differences in the fee.

Beggars have become a big problem for us today. They come as a musicians, street boys,
“sick” people, “lost” people, or just beggars. As their number is getting bigger, the municipal
government feels the need to set a regulation to ban beggars.
Many people support this. They say that begging makes people lazy and bad survivors. They are like
parasites. Criminals take advantage of their existence. Car driver are strong-armed in crossroads,
motorbikes are seized, trucks are hijacked, etc. A man in a rural area takes them to the city with his
truck in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. They have made an agreement to share what
they get. Some children are reported to have been kidnapped not for ransom. They are forced to be
beggars.
They become beggars because they have no choice. What they get everyday is only enough for
buying food. Being a beggar is better than being a thief or a robber. So it is a high time to apply their
religious teaching to care for others. In addition, what they do is to help the government to check
crime-rates.
Despite the controversy of their existence, beggars continue to color the life of urban people.
