SWATOW'S STUDENTS.

SPECIAL WRATH AGAINST AMERICAN SCHOOLS;;

The Swatow correspondent of the North China Daily News,'! writing on May 16, says:

The ineptitude of the policy that is being pursued by the authorities in regard to schools becomes more and more apparent. Thair one

idea seems to be to allow untrammelled liberty to the pupils to work their will in the schools, so long as they are ready to be paraded in processions at the call of the Kuomintang or the labour unions..

THE CHINA MAIL

A flagrant scandal from the. district clty of Chenghai has been Causing many folk furiously to think" whither things are, tend- ing. The head of one of the higher primary schools there had occasion to expel one of the boys." He, as usual, went to the students! union for sympathy; and a mob composed chiefly of students of the city middle school, went to his school, rushed in, seized the offending head and the supervisor of studies, and dragged them in procession round the streets "to display to the public," ending up at the jail where they handed them in and saw that they were duly locked up. Next day the pupils of the school, who had taken no part in this perform- ance, paraded out to Swatow, and petitioned the authorities for the release of the two unfortunate gentlemen, and returned satisfied with a promise that a telegram would be sent ordering their release.

Only the dead tolling of the bell buoy welcomed the gaunt, gray craft, a ghost of the proud schooner known from Frisco to Hongkong. Unheralded and un- noticed, the, Alvena" In coming to anchorage in Bay Biscayne fer- minated a dramatic race which started when she sailed with her sister ship, the "Trene," out of the harbour of Aberdeen, Wash., December 11.

Once known along a hundred waterfronts as the twin pearls of the Pacific," the two ships had long since been relegated to the graveyard, skeletons of a dead glory. The years piled end' on end and they were forgotten; their careers apparently at A dismal end. Then the railroad embargo in Florida, coupled with | the wave of construction activities. in the state and the urgent need for buikling materials called forth every ship available. The "Irene" and "Alvens" were re conditioned and jammed with lumber, with their old captains in command. A challenge was given. and taken and the twin schooners sailed forth on a race to Florida.

Days slipped by and neither was heard from until the "Irene" was sighted by a passing steamer lanes plying the western rea January 8, off Point St. Louis, Lower California. Anxiety was felt for the safety, of the "Alvena" and on March 12, after days of futile waiting, she was listed as missing. Hardly a day. later she was reported proceeding
