LEARNING CHINESE is
NOW MADE EASY

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. s.--Chi-
ma has adopted a new system OF
phonetic writing which is expected to
revolutionize elementary education OF
that nation and reduce existing Hit
eracy. 1t was announced here today
by Edwin c. Lobensteine, who has
been in conference with the Yale-in-
China home office.
The system, invented by the Chi
nese themselves and approved by the
government board of education at
Peking, consists of only thirty-nine
symbols. Any sound in the language
can be represented by combining
two--or at least three-symbols, and
experiments made with hundreds of
individuals have conclusively shown
that an adult illiterate, man or wo-
man. can learn to read by the use of
a system of this kind in three or -four
weeks. II is now being taught in
ali the government higher normal
schools in the country.
