Popularizina Education in China

Toward populariZing education in
China, one of the foremost issues of
the day in that nation. the move
ment known as the Literary Revoiu-
ton. started in 1917 by group of
men now in the National University
at Picking, is said 10 have contribute
ed large measure of the success to
date. This movement has as its one
great aim capitalization of the
spoken Chinese language in written
form, to make the present spoken
language the standard for print
The present Chinese written langu-
age Is separate and distinct from
that used in conversation: the
former is classical and one who de-
sires to use 1t with proficiency must
spend many years of study before
learning all its characters. Another
difficulty is noted in the difference
which appears in the spoken
language in different parts of the
country. Clearly it Is impossible
for the layman to learn both with
any considerable success, and thus
the endeavor to remove the neces-
sity of mastering the present writ
ten language. Already the use OF
the spoken language in both reading
and writing and the adoption OF
what is known as the national pho
retic script have simplified the prob
lem OF extending education, and they
explain. in part, the progress Of the
last few years.--Andrew J. Boone, in

Glass Flowers Exuuisits

Marvellous artificial blooms that re-
sembie natures finest specimens in
every respect except scent. are now
being made by expert glassblowers.
Every part of the flower or plant is
faithfully reproduced, from the long.
delicate stems and colored petals to
the almost invisible pollen.
The first thing which the maker of
these wonderful blooms does is to
blow the petals from glass as thin
and fragile as tissue paper. The
glass petals are then shaped and
colored exactly like the natural ones.
Some of the rarer plants cannot be
easily reproduced, and often several
experiments have to be carried out
with different colors before a really
good imitation is obtained.
These glass flowers are used extern
sively in museums. both to show de-
tails OF plant or flower formation and
as backgrounds for displa wing speci-
mems Of birds and beasts.

WILL ENTER YALE.
DARTMOUTH CLASH

New York. Oct. 16-(By A. P.)-
Sensing another upset interest in the
week end gridiron contests have
peered sharply to New Haven where
Yale and Dartmouth will clash.
The Green swept through it's pre-
liminary games with a majesty that
has indicated ability to go out and
clean up" this season. Yale, with its
great squad of 1923 disrupted by
graduation and ineligibility rules
has not been impressive in its recon
struction. The stage was set for
Dartmouth victory.
But preparations in Hanover were
a bit too feverish and the confidence
overfiowed the campus and found its
way into print and into New Haven.
Yale was warned: and team with
football tradition, regardless of its
physical make up will be hard to de-
feat after 1t has been warned of i'm
pending disaster.
Now, both elevens will trot on the
field IN a big game atmosphere. The
spirit element will be added to the
physical and Yale has SO much con-
fidence in its own fighting qualities
that odds. once leaning toward Dart
mouth. have now been declared even.
ne DIS puliCH VI Tic 'iSth oiiN
one of the first candidates for all
honors" to arise this year, is ''Swede'
Oberlander. a line man reformed
into a half back. He is a 200 pound
triple treat player with 10 touch
downs already attesting his proves.
In addition to the ordinary qualifi-
cations. the Nordic menace to Eli
is credited with a ham-like hand. a
stiff arm like IA board and Interior
ing ability of high order.
So. Yale prepares for "Swede' and
he passes the Blue test he will be
entitled to further consideration as
one of the great backtield.
Dartmouth will meet Pond and
Cottle who ran through the Eli
Scrubs for touchdowns yesterday and
Eddie Bench. converted into quar-
/ terback and picked as the possible
successor to Bill Mallory in the Yale
scheme for the season.
Other camps begin to announce
| the "out of the seasons" which OPP
posing coaches read and sometimes
sniff at. Army reports Baxter out
of the Notre Dame contest and Quar-
terback Terrill of Rutgers will be
out of the Cornell game. Aulich. a
substitute linesman, had bone in
| his ankle broken at Columbia.

Especial to Kennebec JournaD

especial 10 hel1uepeC JVuAh oH
Brunswick, Me-. Oct. 15-The Bow
doin football team had its first hard
scrimmage since the Amherst game
when it was lined up against the
freshman team yesterday afternoon.
The varsity was by far the stronger
team, OF course. but the freshmen
have some mighty good looking ma
terial in their outfit, and should give
their first opponents. Hebron Acad-
envy whom they play on Whittier
Field next Friday, something 10
think about.
The varsity kicked off to the fresh
men every time and usually got the
ball on downs, from which they scor-
ed three touehdowns. Hepworth got
one on an off tackle play. Harrington
one around the end, and Asa Small
scored via the aerial route. The
frosh line was strong. and very few
substantial gains could be made
there, although Don Lancaster did
manage to break through a couple of
times.
After the first touchdown. it look
ed as if the freshmen would tally.
Dick Thayer, former Hebron boy
playing at quarter for the new men,
ran back long kick off to the TWEEN
~ yard line, and then made ten
more on an end run. Frank Foster
Bob's young brother showed that
speed is trait of the Foster family
. when he ripped off thirty yards on
a skin tackle play. Then a fake pass
was pulled and the frosh team lined
up next time on the varsity ten yard
line. Here they tried to open pass
ing system, but the first one went
over the goal line and the varsity
took the ball. Thayer was doing the
kicking for the freshmen, and while
he is not an excellent kicker. he is
not easily ratified and several times
kicked out from behind his own goal
Russell, last years captain of Lynn

|CobuRN COACH
| DEVELOPING MORE
STRENGTH IN LINE
fspeciar to Kennebec JournaD

Waterville, Oct. 1.-THE Coburn
football team held long practice on
Libbey field yesterday afternoon.
Coach Haines passed most Of his
time and effort in developing more
power in the line. The linemen have
had a tendency to loaf on the plays
and not act as interference for the
man carrying the ball. The Coburn
mentor explained the necessity OF
every man doing as much as possi-
BILE no matter where the play goes
and he had the men run through
dummy scrimmage for an hour to &C
uuire the habit of following the play
until the ball was dead.
After the dummy scrimmage Coach
Haines lined up two teams and a
stiff, scrimmage ensued. The line
worked much better and the way the
Team A backs ran through Team Is
was revelation. Much is expected
of the offensive in saturdays game.
Several of the men have minor in
juries and Coach Haines kept them
out of the scrimmage. Adams. the
big tackle. has a leg injury and will
be kept on the bench Saturday as the
Crimson and Gold mentor wants him
to be in the best of condition for the
opening State series game with
Westbrook week from today. Leary
will be shifted from guard TO tackle
to take Adams place.
Dick Reed was forced to lay off
the rough work yesterday because of
a badly torn thumb. The injury
though small is very painful and
makes ii hard to handle the ball.
Dick will be ready for the Maine
Freshman game however. if needed
Johnnie sullivan, n backtield candi-
date. wrenched his knee in the
scrimmaSe and il will he several
days before he will be able to don
the togs again.
The practice with Colby varsity
gave the backtield the much needed
drilling on forward pass defense as
the backs have had no chance to
show their wares in this department
in either of the two games that have
been played.
Harry Norbury, a Lewiston boy
reported for practice yesterday for
the first time. Norbury has never
played any football but he has 4he
build and speed of a good man. lie
got into the fray for a short time
Yesterday and received the prais OF
the coach for his work in the center
of the line.
A light practice will heb held this
afternoon followed by skull practice
tnis evening. The men are confident
OF ~ victory over the Orono crew and
should come out on top.
