Mass Education of Chinese Planned
To Bring End to Country's Woes
IlV MOItitiS J. IIA1EU1S
NANKKINO Mass education
as the best way of solving China's
troubles, has been planned by the
nationalist government.
A program calling for expenditure
of $2,000,000,000 (gold) In '20 years
lma been adopted and, If things go
well, it may be put into effect this
yea..
Whether all the principles that the
scheme embodies can actually befar
rled out is something which oven
the enthusiastic educational authori
ties will not dlscutis. But they are
unanimous -In the opinion that the
against the civil wars which have
whi') would constitute insurance
been annual spring events ever since
Chiang Kai-Shek and his followers
undertook to build up a modern
China three years ago.
Hitherto the muilayr has ab
sorbed most of the government rev
enue. What money has not- been
shot, away In battle has been divided
omong the ministries of foreign af
fairs, roads and . communications,
leaving almost nothing for schools.

ministry of education would have
$100,000,000 a year, which is almost
ten times as much as any previous
government has devoted to enlight
enment within such a period.
The scheme contemplates com
pulsory education of adults as well
us children. For tho grown-ups
there would be special day and night
schools to give t.iem a smatterir;
of vocational training and to teacu
them the impoi tanco . of national
citizenship.
Elementary education would be
enforced for at least four years or
Its equivalent on very boy and girl.
There are 40.000,000 of them in
China.
The plan takes into consideration,
moreover, the unhappy fact that the
poorer Chinese can not always spare
their children through four con
secutive school years. Special classes
would be arranged for such cases.
It is estimated that 1 ,400,000
teachers and 1,000.000 public school
building would be needed. The ex
isting middle schools are capable of
lurnlshiug only 200,000 teachers
within tho twenty year span so 1,000
normal schools aro provided In the
plan. Each of these would bo re
quired to turn out at least fifty
qualified teachers every year. ; j
Teachers for the normal schools
would be obtained from schools of
that typo that already exist and from
the government colleges and univer
sities. Candidates for tho places
would also be given special training
at teachers' institutes.
The problem of obtaining' the
1.000.000 school buildings has re
ceived only secondary consideration.
The government believes it would be
able to transform Into school rooms
tho numerous monasteries and tern- I
pies that have been closed by gov
ernment decrco.
If tho great scheme succeeds, tho
returns In terms of money would
bo immeasurable. But beyond that j
would bo the fact that China as a '
whole would begin to awaken from i
its 3.000 years of lethargy, an awak- I
enlng which thus far lias affected I
only the small fraction of its teeming 1
millions who havo come in contact
with western ideas.
Dodges Talk Of
Pan-Europe Plan
GENEVA () While officials of the
League of Nations" secretariat have
exercised tho utmost discretion in
refraining from comment upon Aris
tlde Briand's proposed federation of
European stutes, Sir Eric Drummond,
the secretary general, has found in
leaguo records something which he
regards as pretlnont to discussion of
tho scheme.
In receiving a delcpatlon of the
Federation of National Committees
for European federation, which inter
ested itselrf in M. Briand's Idea, Sir
Eric said It was not possible for him
to express any opinion updAi the
French statesman's proposal. He re
called, however, that the leaguge as
sembly in 1021 adopted a report
which contained thtse passage:
"Agreements between members of
the league, tending to define or com
plete the engagements contained in
the covenant for the maintenance of
peace, or the promotion of interna
tional cooperation, may be regarded
as of a nature likely to contribute to
thep rogrcss of the league in thC
path of practical realization."
The secretary general In comment
ing diplomatically on this passage
said discretely that he regarded it
as "worth very close attention."
Soviet Cleaning

BOKHARA. Uzbekistan W This an

pools and polluted water supply made
It for centurica one of the plague
spots of Asia, is being cleaned up by
the soviet government.
Enormous tanks, elevated on steel
skeletons, are replacing the old sur
face reservoirs where. Tor a thousand
years, the natives not only drew their
drinking water, but bathed and
washed their clothes.
A new drainage system is being
Installed which, it Is hoped, will

Street sprinkling Is still done by
enrriers who squirt water from pig
skins. Eventually these relics of the
past are also due to disappear.
Water is precious irt this arid part
of Central Asia. Housewives carry
pitchers and Jugs to the nearest
uater station and buy tt by the
quart or gallon as if it were milk or
wine. The price is 10 kopecks a
gallon, and while this figures rough
ly as equivalent to a nlckkel, coins
are none too plentiful and water
is a top Item in househld budgets.

Tomatoes Higher;
Car of Cherries
Loaded At H.R.
PORTLAND, Ore.. July 5 W) Fol
lowing the closing of trade for Fourth
of July, wholesale butter and egg
prices opened today at quotations un
changed. Demand for both products
continued fair to good. Volume of egg
leceipts appears to be declining.
The United States department of
agriculture market news service re
viewed conditions In the fruit and
vegetable trude as follows:
Tomatoes are higher, with light
shipments from California this week,
and good demand at California cities,
which are taking a large proportion
of the state's current production.
Brokers' tales to jobbers were as
high as 2.25ii 82.50 for best originals
yesterday and today.
Hood River loaded their first
straight car of cherries July 1, Instead
of last week as originally reported.
Cove and Union, in Eastern Oregon,
will soon move their crop, starting
next week. The demand for cherries
Is not especially active, at this time,
either in Portland or In the east.
Green corn is a bit cheaper, with
moderate arrivals from Hood River
and Mosler, in addition to The Dal
les. California's watermelon shipments
are rapidly decreasing, and higher
shipping point prices are forecast by
shippers. Continued cool weather at
Portland prevents active consumer
demand.

WIIKAT PH1CES LOWER
WINNIPEO, Man., July 5 m After
an idle short session on the Winnipeg
market today, i wheat prices finished
with small fractions down from tho
previous close. Export business was
limited and English millers reported
buying cheap Russian wheat, but
some fair seaboard buying stemmed
a possible decline.
July was off quarter cent at 96 .
cents, while both October and De- '
cember showed cent losses at
$1.00i4 to and $1.02 to y2 res
pectlvely. ; ,
Cash wheat demand was light, and
trading was consequently restricted to
small quantities. Fair demand for :
low grade oats was noted in the
coarse grain mart, but business was
small due to lack of supply.
LISBON, July 5 Owing to a
shortage of Hour the government to
day authorized the purchase of 48,
