 Education Plan

Tokio.

Both the Premier and the education minister expressed them selves in agreement with the inter- pellators in the view expressed and promised to carry out the suggested extension at the earliest possible op- portunity.
 The government authorities calcu- late that the extension of this period by two years entails an increase of some 4,OO0 classes, each consisting of fifty children. The additional mum Der of primary school teachers re- auired will be 5000 and the expenses to be incurred an account of the adoption of the new system will be some yen 12,O00,OO0 in ordinary ex- penditure and yen. S0,O0O,o00 in ex- traordinary. In as much as the training of 5000 new teachers cannot be accom- mp1ished in a short space Of time it is expected that the three years will be needed as the prepara- stage.

Gene Kelly
 UnIoads This

Here's a baseball fable that Gen Kelly heard on his recent trip to Gal iforn1a. Told to Gene in the pres ence of Yves Kingdom in a Los Ange les hotel:
 The situation was this. A run ner was on third and one on sec .Ond. The batter hit for a home run. At least it seemed that way. The runner from third twisted his ankle going in, fell down and couldn't arise. The following runner did not wish to pass him, as that would be an out He picked the runner up in his arms, careful to keep him in front of him all of the time, and carried him home, but never passed him. The umpire logged alongside of them to watch the play and de- cided that both runs counted be- cause Rule 56 had not been vio- lated.
