WASHINGTON, May q. 2.-(special Tele-
gran. Representative Kennedy today in
troduced resolution providing for a thor
oughly good index to the United States
statutes at large and such other compila-
tions, digests and indices as may be re-
quired for congress or other official use
Mr. Kennedy recites in his preamble that
he finds lack of accurate and compre-
hensve index to statutes causes those who
consult volumes much loss of time and un-
certainty. Those seeking laws on particu-
lar topics desired from time to time find
statutes are complied, digested or indexed
more or less unsystematically, inaccurately
and this misinformation is placed i'm the
volumes at considerable unnecessary ex-
pense.
Representative Kennedy today received
from the University Of Nebraska a letter
calling attention to the fact that Chinese
students seeking an education do not now
come to this country but go elsewhere, and
the result will be 10 bring the China Of
the future more under the influence Of
other countries and less under the influence
Of the United States II is suggested that

sion to this country to Study our institu-
tions. so we ought to send a commission
TO China to study the conditions there with
view to directing Chinese thought toward
our educational institutions The letter is

tional lines.
