Modern China.

In a prize essay written for the
Chinese Jc.nt Council on Public
Health Education, Mr.. Yang Tux
pau, Of one Of the Shanghai Univer-
sites, throws some interesting light
on the physical phases of the citi-
zens OF the new republic. Naturally
endowed with strong constitutions,
Mr.. Yang says, the Chinese should
have a much lower death rate than
the records show. Their sim pie
diet, their hygienic dress and their
well-ventilated houses all contribute
to strong and abiding race vital
ity. and 1t is unfortunate that these
conditions are not supplemented by
adequate sanitation systems and a
wider knowledge Of disease proven
ton. Mr.. Yang goes on to treat Of
the influences that have kept China
in the past from physical develop
ment. He points out the dangers
suffered from the old Chinese prac-
tice OF early marriage. foot-binding
opium smoking and superstition, all
Of which are now. either totally or
in part remedied. He cites the
growing interest in out-of- door
sports and the introduction Of West
ern methods of education with their
latitude FOR natural development as
hopeful signs of interest in the
health OF Chinese young people.
