A scheme for twenty night schools has been drawn up for the consideration of the Kuo- miatang Party.

The Kuomintang Superintendent of Education in Canton has just ordered the closing of 215 private schools, alleging that they have failed to comply with Kuomintang regulations.

Owing to a dispute among the butchers in Canton regarding the length of the New Year holidays, the residents of the Southern Capital had no pork for dinner on February 6th.

Among the most recent strikers are the organised employees of the Judicial Department. If they follow the methods of other unions it is to be presumed that all the City Courts will have to remain closed

Unhappily there are all-disposed people who, observing your. smart ness on parade and your good dis cipline, exclaim that the Boy Scout movement is only disguised mili tarism and who pretend to

By order of the Kuomintang Ministry of Communications the Bureau of Reconstruction in Canton will sume supervision over the Chinese Post Office. It would seem now, therefore, that the institution will be in the unenviable position of having to take orders from Peking and Canton at the samG time.
