CHINA'S AWAKENING
Old-Time Examinations Have Given
Place to Modern Methods.

Place to Modern Methods.
/ For twenty-five hundred years the
people of China have been ignorant of
all learning except that of the Chinese
writer's. Only the higher classes have
had this learning, the vast majority of
the people being unable to read and
write. Official positions have been con-
ditioned upon the passing of examina-
tions in this antiquated lore. During
the last few years all this has been
changed, and the greatest intellectual
movement in the history of the world
is in rapid progress among China's 400,-
100000. The old-time examinations are
abolished, and some Of the ancient ex-
animation stalls are torn down, the
bricks being used to build modern
schools. Hereafter all candidates for
public office must pass an examination
in Western learning. They may use
any language they please in the en-
aminations, and some use English. The
movement is under the direction of a
central board of education in Pekin.
Common schools have been opened in
every province, in some provinces by
the thousand. For the support of these
schools leading officials are urging the
people to take the money they have
been wasting in the superstitious cere-
monies of worshipping the dead. and
thus the new learning is contributing
to the downfall of idolatry. The Man.
DARN dialect must be used in all the
government schools, and thus in time
single language will be provided for
the people, who are now distracted by
many tongues. Colleges are founded
as well as common schools, normal
schools, and agricultural institutes are |
together with manual |
training schools. schools for mechani- !
cal and electrical engineers, and the
Work.

HOSPITAL CARE

When the students of the Univer-
sity returned to take up their studies
this year, they found a new provision
made for them-free medical advice
and hospital care. This was the eli
max to strivings of years. The Stu
dents Protective Association was ef-
fective, but not half of the students
availed themselves of it. Even then
its services were not so complete as
those the students receive now free
of charge. Before the new rule went
into effect it was thought that com
pulsory fee would have to be charged,
payable with the entrance fees, but
this was not necessary. Few, if any,
of the state universities have this
provision for their sick students. Its
benefits are not yet well known to the
students.
Many students are ignorant of the
fact that they will receive hospital
care free if they become ill., Under
the new plan students may receive
medical advice at the first approach
of illness, instead of remaining in
their boarding houses and becoming
patients of their room-mates.

GOVERNMENT SELLS LIQUOR
Swiss Federal Authorities Have Mon
opIoy of Traffic.

GENEVA.-ln 1887, by popular
vote. the Swiss people handed over the
monopoly of alchohol to the federal
authorities, who have controlled the
importation, manufacture and whole
sale distribution of spirits, in Quanti-
ties of not less than forty lters, since
that date. The latest statistics, from
1887 to 1909, show how the monopoly
has been worked for the last twenty
two years. and with what good results.
The loans and expenditures required
to establish the monopoly, amounting
to s1,339 200. were paid off within ten
years by the government, and the prof
its from the sale of good alcohol, sup
ervised by federal experts, amounted
during the twenty-five years to s25.-

The Boone county jury that found
verdict of guilty in the case of a
negro charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons evidently thought that
the argument of the defense, that he
did not know right from wrong. was
good reason for not allowing him to
run loose with a gun on his person.
