LONDON. Feb. 16. An Auglo-
Aniertcan' commission has left
England to study the educational
Rystems used in East. Centra! and
South America and lo draw up a
report as to the best line on which
ifie education needs of Africa may
be met.
The expedition will visit Abys
sinia, Adis Abeba. Kenya and
Uganda, and then proceed to Bel
gian Africa. The expenses of the
tj-ip are being paid from American
bequest funds and by British mis
sionary societies.
Hitherto 90 er cent of the edu
cational work among native Afri
cans has been through missionary
enterprise, but this commission
will work with the British govern
ment in order to allow the latter
to assume control of native edu
cation in the future.

Finance Land Purchase
(By The Associated Frsa)
DUBLIN, Feb. 16. Under the
land purhchaae act passed in 1923,
all land tenancies in the Free
State were abolished and the ten
ants become proprietors,, paying
annual installments to the state.
The installments are from 25 to
35 per cent less than the rents,
and the purchase will be complet
ed in about 70 years.
! The landlords are to be paid
for their property in four and one
half per cent Free State stock, of
which 25,000,000 pounds sterling
will need to be issued. The cash
value of this secruity to the land
lords depends on the credit of the
Free State on the money markets,
but the British government will
guarantee the principal and Inter
est of the land purchase stock.
' There are still in northern Ire
land many unpurchased tenancies,
and the British government i9
pledged to assist the northern gov
ernment to complete land purchase
within its Jurisdiction'.
