Enters Covered Court's Final

Special' Air Mall Service)

Loudon, Oct. 31 The success of Miss Mary Hard- wick in reaching the women's singles final of the Covered Courts Championship is a just reward for painstaking. Ever since Miss Harwick made a good show in the Junior Championships she has concentrated on improving her game to its fullest extent. Her parents have given her every en- couragement; she has been well coached and provided with plenty of opportunities to perfect her play in Continental tournaments,

One of the secrets of the success of this Surrey girl is that she has never been content just to win a point; unless she can win a rally with a good shot she is never satisfied,

Nearly Beat Miss Round In the West Side Country Club's tournament at Ealing in April Miss Hardwick gave Miss Round, destined later on to win the Cham. pionship at Wimbledon, a real fright. The younger player, wan the first set 83, and looked to be winning the second, which Miss Round just saved at 7-5.

What is undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of work at present being carried out by the new regime in Klangst for the recreation and rehabilitation of that province is the "Teh Chung Chiao Yu" (Special Education) Movement, under the direction of Mr. Cheng Shih-kwel the Pro-

A new spirit was distinctly noticeable. Cleanliness and courtesy everywhere were worthy of the highest praise. Although some of the schools were in tum“ ble-down buildings, no dirt was to be seen. Both teachers and students were spotlessly clean and very well dressed in spite of the cheapness of the materials which made their clothes and uniforms.

others were noticed taking the usual courses. for In one training school teachers, the average age of the students is around seventeen. All of them are graduates of rural normal schools or others who had displayed distinct signs of leader- ship. Their course consists of four months' practical training and those who wish may also stand for scholarships as research students for another year.

At the end of four months' training, they are sent to various towns and villages to establish and to become principals of what are known as Chungshan Special Mass Education Schools. Some 80 members of the first class had already been sent out, and 128 of the second class were undergoing training. Of the latter. 36. were research students.
