His father taught him calligraphy and the elements of painting and carving, He went later to the Chin-tan University, Shanghai, where he came. under the influence of certain French Prolersors. In 1917 he went to Japan and on his return he was appointed by the Chancellor Dr. Tsal Yuen Pel to be Art Instructor at the Peking' University. In 1918. Ju Peon went to Paris.

In Pors Ju Peori became the pupil and rubsequently the dis- ciple of Dagnan-Bouveret. He was a student of the Academie Julien, one of the institutions of the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts. Paris. In 1921, he went to Berlin, where he got to know Kampf. He became the friend of Muenler, the planist. to whom Dagnan-Bouveret Introduced him.. Ju Peon once painted a picture of a girl in despair. Every one thought that 1# was the work of Dagnan- Bouveret. "The picture is now in one Museum of Europe.

CHINESE ART

Ju Peon is faithful to the basic ideas at Chinese Art, but he dis- cards, the superfluous. Ho advo- cates realism and criticizes the work of the Chinese Classical School. expecially the landscapes of the Tour "Wangs." He wants the Artist to return to nature for Inspiration and to draw from life -life as it is to-day, He does not believe in the opening of schools. He wants a National Gallery. He is now working on a scheme for founding a gallery of Fine Arts in Kwellin.

MILK PASTEURISATION MADE COMPULSORY

Interesting Debate At Urban Council

DR. BASTO OPPOSES MOTION

As the result of a motion adopted, with one dissentient, at the Urban Council Meeting held yesterday afternoon, pasteurisa- tion of milk will be compulsory on and after July 1, 1938.

Replies to questions asked by the Hon. Dr. Li Shu Fan were 28 follows:-

Question: Whether the proposed enforcement will adversely affect the smaller dairies, and result in the permanent closure of these dalries?

Answer: It is expected that some of the smaller dairies will be affected. Whether they close down permanently or whether they adopt some form of amalgamation or co- operation is for the owners them- selves to decide.

Question: If the answer is in the affirmative; whether the Dalry Farm, Ice and Cold Storage Co., which possesses a pasteurisation plant and which is the main source of milk-supply in the Colony, will be able to maintain an adequate supply irrespective of dry season or drought?

DR. R. A. BASTO

Dr. R. H. de Castro Basto, op- posing the motion, said:

"

Although the pasteurisation of milk has one very definite advan- tage in that it destroys any patho- genic organisms that may be found therein, yet it should not be for- gotten that by doing so it kills at the same time certain other or- ganisms which are beneficial to health and also destroys some of the vitamins present,

My main objection against the

motion is that it proposes the com-. pulsory pasteurisation of all tik exposed for sale.

Should the motion be adopted it would have the effect of raising the price of milk which is in itself already high when compared with other articles of diet.

A better plan would be to em-
