CHINA IS PREPARING TO
TEACH IN MODERN STYLE.
Contemplating Creating National Uni
versity and Smaller Schools.

Already the Chinese government has
gone further than is generally realized
outside Of China in making effective
it's edict of educational reform, issued
five years ago. The Hongkong plan
appears to be in anticipation of the
general scheme for colleges and uni
versities.
Under the governmental plan each
province is to have its university,
which starts with the elementary
schools in each village. the higher or
grammar grade schools, the high
schools, in ascending scale, all con-
trolled by provincial boards of educa-
ton, which act more or less directly
through subordinate boards in each
taotai's and submagistrate's district.
Few government establishments have
yet reached full college grade, largely
because Of lack Of money, but in many
cases because of lack Of students who
have progressed in western learning
far enough to begin proper college
work.
Late statistics report the total num-
Der of educational institutions in Chi
ma at 35,188, Of which primary schools
number 34,210, high schools, colleges,
girls seminaries and industrial schools
making up the balance. They report
63,937 persons engaged in educational
work. 55,240 being at work in ele-
mentary grades. In these several in
situations there are S74,G42 students,
of whom 78O.325 are Of elementary
grade. Taking 4OG, 10000 as. the pop
ulation Of China. this gives one stu
dent for each 4f;4 inhabitants.

HALL OF FAME FOR FARMERS
Maine TO Honor Some Son Of Soil Each
Year,

Year.
A hall of fame for Maine farmers
was suggested recently during meet.
ing Of the various agricultural organ.
izations Mt the statehouse at Augusta
by President Robert j. Alley Of the Uni
verslty Of Maine and met with instant
favor.
1t was proposed that once year a
bust, bas-relief or tablet be placed In
the wide hall Of the agricultural build
ing at the university. with suitable ex-
ercises.
President Alley thought this action
would instill III the minds of youth
greater liking for agriculture. He un.
derstood there had been already a
number Of prominent men In the state
who had made their mark along agri-
cultural lines, and he felt that these
men after they had passed away
should be h0nOrcd in the hall of fame.
DR.. George NJ. Twitchell Of Auburn
suggested as one Of the first men to be
thus honOred Ezekiel Holmes Of Win
throp. He also suggested that me-
mortal he placed for Y. A. Gilbert Of
Greene. who has done more to shape
agricultural legislation than any other
man In Maine.

The law provides that the board Of
county commissioners of each county

The law further provides that when two

which submit proposals to become de-
positaries shall offer the same rate of
interest. it shall be the duty of the
board to select impartially as many of
such banks as depositaries as offer am
pie security for such deposit.
When the board of county commits
sioncrs of Kidder county opened the
proposals at its first meeting in Janu-

banks which offered the same rate of
interest. They were the First National
bank of Steele. the Farmers and Mer-

bank of Tappen. and the First State

commissioners designated the two banks

Too, Experiment Shows.
1t pays to feed hogs with food that
will develop their brains, In the Opin-
ion Of the faculty Of the Ohio state
agricultural station at Wooster after
an experiment with forty brain fed"
hogs.
The station experts theory is that
II hogs are fed certain foods which
will produce bigger brains they will
rise above their present state Of mud
wallowing and garbage eating and be-
come intelligent and polite and be bet|
ter pork.
The forty selected hogs were put in
sanitary pispens and reared on stuff
looking like breakfast food and made
especially for them from selected
grains. They were kept clean and led
gently into more cultured ways. Their
meat has been pronounced by experts
to be the best ever tasted.

years time the ship and the
expedition will have followed
mechanically in straight cour-

converted scientists to the be-

and correct, and that through
the use of a ship that cannot
be crushed by ice packs, that
his plan cannot help but sue

ZANE OF THE MOST
w important lnQestiga-
tions made bv the In

terstate Commerce Commls-
sion is that of the express
companies of the United
States. This investigation Is
now under way. The com
mission has before it much
material which it is at pres
ent studying and arranging.
1t is thought that the outcome
will be complete change IN
the express business Of the
country. Quite recently there
was held in Washington a
convention relative to the
much talked about and writ
ten about parcels post. This
was attended by distinguish
ed men from various parts OF
the country. Some of them
have made a thorough study
of the express situation. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that
the resolution was passed by
the convention favoring the
complete absorption or con-
troll of the express companies
by the government. Assum
ing that half the things com
planned against the express
companies are sustained, it
will not be strange if the de-
mand for government owner
ship will be urgent after the
Interstate Commerce Com
mission report has been pub
lished. In the States of Iowa,
Minnesota and California rail
way commissioners have re-
Gently made Investigations in
to the operations of these com
panies. Business interests
throughout the country are
urging an examination rela-
tive to the express companies,
insisting that their rates are
exorbitant and that their prac-
tees are unfair. Last Fall,
two hundred and eight com
mercial organizations petition
ed the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make the in
quiry which is now under way.
This commission, let it be
understood, has full authority
over express rates, regulations
and practices, 1t is claimed
bv those who have thoroughly
studied the subject that there
is no reason whatever for the
existence for express Compa-
nles independent of railroad
companies, and it is a we'll
known fact that the railroad
companies themselves are ex-
tensive stock owners, if they
do not actually control the
majority Of the stock of the
express companies, and that
they are using these compa-
nies to enormously increase
their profits with the result
of enormously depressing the
millions who have to resort TO
them as common carriers.
The profits in the case of
some of the companies it is
known are as high as 200 per
cent to 800 per cent, There
is no reason why the United
States should not carry ex-
press packages under the par
cells post system for the bene-
