That old adage about the futility of carrying coals to Newcastle doesn't always work out well. For instance, Amer1- can educators in China are face to face with the necessity for teaching the Chinese language to the Chinese. Young China is going in largely for culture of the West. Most of the bus1- ness n China is transacted in English; and it is along this line that the best opportunities are presened for the ambitious na- tive who desires to go ahead In the situation, it is seriously declared by American aducat- .ors that the point is being reach ed where it is necessary for the West to preserve Chlna's lan- guage for her own people.
 Dr. Alfred A. Gilman. the President of Boone University, founded by Bishop Boone, grandfather of Rev: w.. E.. Boone, formerly of Williams, who is at home on vacation, said the other day:
 ''In twenty years a Chinese boy who can read Chinese will be a rarity. The reason for this is plain. Practically all of the big. business in China is carried on in English. The Chinese boy who can speak and write English in his own coun- try, because. of this constantly increasing use of English, can get two or three times as much pay as he boy who can't. Naturally, therefore, we have no difficulty at Boone in filling classes of natives who wish to learn English and mathematics :; but at the present time, it is lit orally as hard to teach Chinese to a Chinese boy as it is to teach Greek to an American"
 Accordingly, one of the com pulsory courses at Boone IS in the language and literature of China, which consists of a large series of essays and history in termingled with 8 wealth of folklore; and includes snecial- ization in the many different shades of meaning which at tach to the thousands of char acters in the Chinese anguage.

The freezing points of large variety of vegeta bles and fruits which are likely to be subject ed to freezing conditions dur ing harvesting, handling, or marketing, have been the ob- feet of special studies in the Bureau of Plant Idustry of the United States Department of Agriculture. Between 15.OOO and 10000 determinations have been made, including the freez-. ing points of 25 varieties of ap- ples, 22 kinds of strawberries, IS varieties of potatoes, 19 diff ferent types of sweet potatoes, 19 tomato varieties, and many varieties of cherries, grapes peaches, plums, blackberries. raspberries, cranberries. and some cut flowers. particularly peonies, roses, and lilies. Be sides this general study. the work is being continued with the principal fruits and vege- tables which are liable to be in danger of freezing either in transit or on the market. In this work the methods of de- tecting freezing injury, the rate at which fruits or vegetables freeze in consant low temper atures are determined.
 The freezing points were de- temined for IS standard vari- cites of Irish potatoes. grown under he same cultural condit- ions, harvested at the same time and stored at the same temper atures. The freezing point varies with the variety and shows tendency to vary with the family group. It has been shown that potatoes can ire quently be exposed to temper atures much below heir freez- ing points if they are not dis turbed until the temperature is again above the freezing point. This is an important | consideration to potato growers and handlers.
