SCHOOL BOARD UPHELD
IN PROMOTION TESTS

Justice Holling of the District Su-
preme Court has dismissed a rule to
show cause issued in a suit for in
junction against the board of educa-
ton and Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendant of schools, to prevent the
holding of an examination for eligi-
bles for promotion from Group A to
group B of Glass 6 of teachers in the
public schools.
Suit was filed by William ]. Wallis,
Guy C. Clinton. Elizabeth Burtwell
and Annett T. Ditto. who claimed that
they had taken the examination to
qualify under an understanding that
no further examination would be held
until they had received promotions.
They declared that recent regulations
passed by the board of education un-
der which the new examination was
called. would affect adversely their
status on the list of eligibles. They
claim they were entitled to remain
on the list until appointed, while the
new rules provide the life Of the ELI
gible list shall comprise only two
years.
The action Of the board in passing
the rule and directing the examina-
tion was held by the court to be with
in their discretion.

CHINESE NOW CLAIM HONOR
Buddhist Priests Said to Have DiscoV.
cred America Iona Before
Day Of Columbus.

Legends common to the literature
Of both China and Japan relate that
about the year 400 Hwui Shan. a
Buddhist missionary, in company with
five brother priests, found a land
many miles to the eastward of China
which he named Fusang. They sailed
along the Chinese coast to KamChat-
ka and thence along the Aleutian is
lands to Alaska. The description of
the peoples they found fits the Aleuts
and the EskimOs as they are today.
From Alaska, which they called
Great Han, they sailed along the coast
to Fusang. Hwuai Shan describes the
dwellings made Of blocks of sun-dried
mud, which housed many people, a
description which fits the pueblos of
ancient America. He mentions a plant
used in making cordage and paper
which afforded vegetable milk and
which yielded tender edible sprouts
The maguey plant also answers this
description.
He also describes a plant and its
fruit which is the species of cactus
commonly known as the prickly pear.
From the Chinese records, therefore,
Fusang was very like Mexico.
A few years ago the Chinese gov
eminent directed its historian to make
search of the imperial records, and
from them came the foregoing ac-
count
