Washington, March 3. (I. N. S.-
One of. the longest steps forward in
oriental development reported in many
months is the announcement that
Wong Po Young of Hongkong has in
vented a system of shorthand writing
for the Chinese language; which has
Just been reported to the department
of commerce by Consul Generai.George
K. Anderson at Hongkong.
The Chinese language has long been
regarded by students as one of th
most difficult languages to master
and the idea or adapting it to a short
band form has practically been given
up. Several years ago the Chinese
government sent a special commission
to Europe to make an effort to devise.

Chinese, but this commission found
the task too difficult. Private enter
prise in China has in the past "at
tempted the work, but nothing useful
had come of it.
Speed 140 Words a lXl&ute.
Wong Po Young's shorthand sys
tem 13 reported to be highly success
ful. He has attained a speed of 140
words per minute in writing his sys
tem, while one of his pupils has at
tained a speed of 90 words per minute.
Several other .pupils can write 70
words per minute.
This is a great Improvement on the
old methods of writing Chinese. - Up
to this time no system Las ever been
devised by which the writer could
keep up with' a speaker. . -
