League Hears
Chinese Writer

The Chinese people, for the past
several years Of their insufferable
hardships, have fought for their
most cherished democratic ideal OF
government and remain dauntless
In their fight against their bitter
enemy, said Helena Gin-Chiu-Kuo
Chinese journalist and orator. While
more hardships are inflicted upon
them, they do not weaken spirit
ually but are willing to die for their
cause, she said.
Miss Gin Chiu-Kuo addressed the
members Of the Junior League yes
terday afternoon. She was intro
duced by Mrs. Samuel @. Lovejoy,
president Of the league.
The journalist lives In New York
at the present time, but she was
born in Chung-sen, China where
DR.. Sun Yat-Sen was born. Her
contributions to the London and
Chinese newspapers have made her
internationally famous for the views
she interprets.
She said that there Is no class
distinction on the grounds Of birth
and wealth. The people OF China,
as Of the United States, can aspire
to their ideals and the poorest man,
II persistent and capable, can
achieve a position in the highest
government post. The philosophy
Of China is, as here, do unto others
as you would have them do unto
you.
The Chinese people have been
driven from their homes and have
lost all their possessions; these she
counted as a few Of the hardships
endured by her people, she said.
Americans, on the other hand, she
said, are just beginning to feel the
sting of warfare.
The people of China and America
have been united more strongly
since their ideals are the same, she
said, and one country knows how to
depend on the other. She explained
that China depends on Americas
manufacturing industries, and
America depends on China's efforts
in exploiting all these resources.
The Chinese people do not wish
to be visualized as heroes, she said,
they are happy in the fact that they
are able to contribute to the free
dom-loving world.
Miss Gin-Chiu-Kuo said that
when the new peace is attained, a
completely new world must be Or
ganized for the sake of equality for
all.

versal, the assistant superintendent
states. Uniformity Of teaching
methods was desirable, he points
out, to obviate the necessity Of ex-
planning to each incoming class the
steps to be followed and to ease
study Of students who transfer from
one school to another.
After the new arithmetic system
was Incorporated, one class, at Slo-
cum school, in three months time
advanced o year and five months
In ability, according to tests given
before and after use Of the system,
DR.. Gilmartin states. The median
score for the flrst test was a. when
1t should have been Sc, but after
three months study under the new
plan a test showed the median abil-
ity has increased to So, the report
states.
Special emphasis was placed In
spelling upon the importance Of
enunciation and INSTALLATION, DR..
Gilmartin reports. Stress also was
given to diction rather than to- col
umn spelling, he adds, enabling
students to write more in terms Of
sentences rather than words
Greater interest was shown IN
geography and history during the
past year and pupils followed mill
tary activities thoroughly, acquir-
ing extensive knowledge Of exploits
of the armed forces, the report dis
closes. Extra study on the part Of
teachers was involved but the re-
spouse of pupils justified it. DR.. Gil
mcrtin states.
Cooperation of teachers and re-
Spouse of pupils to the new teach
:ng methods are praised by the adj
miniStrator. -

RATIONING ONLY
SENSIBLE WAY.

Nothing that has come out OF
the war to date has brought
home the relization that we are
all one nation more than the
rationing of foods, shoes and
other necessities of life. Rich
and poor, black and white, all
groups have been placed on an
equal footing in the program of
conserving our resources so that
our soldiers may not want. And
this is as it should be, for the
only practical way to see that no
one goes hungry or lacks shoes
and other necessities of life is
through rationing
The start of point rationing
had two important results - 1t
made every family in the coun-
try aware Of the shortage of
caned, dried and frozen foods,
and it brought into sharp focus
the whole problem of food pro-
duction and supply for this year.
AS the point values of the ra-
toned foods were studied in
every household, it was apparent
to housewives and other consum-
ers throughout the country that
they would have to do careful
planning to meet their individual
, and family diet needs, and that
a far greater consumption OF
fresh vegetables would be the
order of the day. The increased
demand for fresh vegetables al
ready had led to sharp price
rises for these products. 1t was
necessary, therefore, for the
government to act swiftly in
holding down the retail prices
Of the more important fresh
staples-tomatoes. snap beans,
carrots. cabbages and peas. With
the APPLICATION of these emer-
gency price ceilings, only a few

BAHAMA ISLANDS
TO FURNISH
FARM WORK ERS

WASHINGTON. - Negroes
from the Bahama islands may be
used to relieve the farm labor
shortage in Florida and, possibly,
other southern states should the
shortage become acute, it was
revealed this week.
Claude r. Wickard, secretary
of agriculture, announced that
he has sent three representatives
to the Bahama islands to COM
plete the agreement, in process
of negotiation for some time,
with the government of the is
lands for bringing Bahama
workers into this country for
agricultural work.
The government representa-
tives first went to Miami, Fla,
where they conferred with farm
ers and local officials to get
their views before proceeding to
the Bahaman capital, Nassau.
Fred Morrell, assistant direc-
tor of the newly organized agri-
cultural labor administration;
Mason Barr, of the farm secur-
ity administration, and Clarence
Blau, of the office Of the solici-
tor, are the agriculture depart
ment representatives.
Mr. Wckard said that the
number of workers who would
be brought to Florida and sur
rounding states would depend
upon the number which th'
Bahamas is willing to make
available and upon the needs OF
growers for their services.
