 upper floor are considering sem
 ester tests due the last week of
 this month. Two tests will be
 given day for one week begin ming the 24th.. A students are not subject to this ruling if receiv- ing the teachers permission, stat ing they are exempt, but most A students possess the spirit of chall- enge. However this ruling ap- plies only to upper classmen, in- cluding only seniors and juniors.
 An interesting program has been in the making for Physical Education. Students of the high school have taken it upon them selves to originate games, each one group responsible for one game, Four have been demon strated so far and the students seem to have done quite well in their attempts.
 Thursday morning the high school students had the pleasure of seeing for the first time this year, movies instructing them through sight and sound, by ex- ample, in the prevention, cure and 10 take in regard to the tuberculosis germ. After which an interesting discussion arose in the biology class, center ing about one domineering factor: What can we do to improve Nome?
 This is attempting to devise a program by which they can do something to improve their city. But what can be done without the of every citizen? Remem- a worthy cause is well worth sup portingl

CHINESE AND AMERICANS

ID ECAUSE THE CHINESE live on the other side U of the globe; because they wear white instead of black for mourning; because their books begin on what would be the last page of ours; because their family names first, instead of their given names-as if they said Smith John instead of John Smith'-they used to be regarded as >peo- pie who stood on their heads Lately we have learned that in many essential ways Americans and Chinese alike. .:
 The Chinese live in a temperate country the size of our own Among themselves they diff fer as much as a Wyoming raneher differs from Yankee mechanic Mississippi plantation owner, but fundamentally their culture is unified as own; they speak many dialects, but their written language is the same everywhere. f-ss...7'
 Practical, ingenious, and resourceful, they the best businessmen in the East Like Amer jeans, they fundamentally democratic, and they conceive democracy not as an equality of wealth but equal right and opportunity to advance They keep their ties with the land, even when liv- ing in the cities. Just American political and business leaders used to boast of having been born in log cabins, the Chinese generals and statesmen have the tradition of the grass hut.
 The story of American relations with China
 goes back to the 18th century, just after the Chinese Revolution ended, when the first Yankee merchantmen anchored in Canton harbor. It was American soldier of fortune Frederick Town send Ward, who first taught the Chinese soldiers to fight in the Western fashion. A shrine near Shanghai still honors this wonderful hero from beyond the seas who sprinkled China with his az ure blood"
 in this the two generals most feared
 by the Japanese have been American and a Chinese-Douglas Macarthur and Chiang Kai- shek >.
 We should be proud to be fighting on the same side the brave peo1e of China against the Japanese invaders lis consumption at cruising speed
