Slums clearance and re-housing is not all talk and not action in England, sa these pictures show. The two photos ilus.rate graphically' what can be done to alleviate living conditions in the poorer eretions of large ciliés. No longer are families crowded into small quarters, devoid of sanitation, light and cleanliness. The picture at left shows a condition that England is selling about to wipe out. Every year for the next five years, 53,200 homes will be destroyed and 57,000 new homes and apartments will be built. The photo at right shows an appartment house, already, accupied, which enjoys plenty of light and air space and which renti inexpensively enough for

The ancient emperor came to the throne at a time when scctional and feudalistic conceptions were upper- most in the Chinese mind. Slowly;) Huang Ti succeeded in decreasing the power of the feudal lords of the period and divided northern China into provinces, whose chief officers were responsible to the imperial throne. Such is the system which modern China's national govern- ment is attempting to enforce, at- įtempting to subordinate sectional jor feudalistic interests to those of
national scope.
Hang Ti ordered the destruction of all classical literature, with the exception of works n astrology, and hus- divination, medicine bandry. Some 400 classical scholars who attempted to defy the imperial n. authority were buried alive. For this action Iluang Ti was con- demned by centuries of Confucian and classical scholars. But Huang Ti's purpose. was to do away with the influence of ultraconservative scholarship which continually stressed the glories of the past and resisted progress. Modern China is not burning books wholesale, but it is attempting to root out ultra- conservative beliefs and traditions which might hinder the government in its efforts toward making China a more prosperotis, more healthy, and more orderly nation.

The incursions of warlike tribes- mun from the north led Tuang Ti to unite, strengthen and lengthen nider barriers of the northern bor- z.ders to form what is now known the world over as the The Great Wall of China. To give added strength to the national defences, Huang Ti järdered the building of highways and digging of canola. Modern Chinn is also building highways and strengthening Its defences against foreign aggression-United Pross.
