CHINESE STUDENTS STRIKE.
Left College Because an Associate Was
Dismissed

Students at the Nanyang College at
Sicawei, China, recently went on a strike
because several Of their number were sus-
pended for reading a reform newspaper
called the "Hsin Min Chung Pao," or
"News for Renovating the People," edited
by the reformer. Liang Chicao, the chief
disciple Of Kang Yu-wei This paper, ac-
cording to mail advices from China, is
merely an up-to-date newspaper, but as
such is tabooed in mandarin circles. The
students were forbidden to read 1t and when
several Of them were caught with papers
in their room. they were dismissed by the
president Of the college. When they started
to say farewell to their college mates the
entire student body appealed to the presi-
dent FOR remission of the punishment. The
request being refused, every student at the
college collected his belongings and left the
place. There was no special disorder. Con-
sternation has been caused in mandarin
circles by the students action.
