PROMOTING PRODUCTIVE EDUCATION IN CHINA

CHUNGKING, Feb 26 (Central)-The Ministry of Education is pushing with all possible speed the advancement of productive "educa- tion in order to hasten national reconstruction.

During the last three years, courses on engineering, textile and dyeing, paper and leather-making, farming, animal husbandry, and other technical subjects specially opened in the various colleges and universities throughout the country have trained up an army of technical experts who are now rendering effective service throughout Free China.

"

Close contact is always main- tained between the schools and Government and private organs in need of technical men, and oppor- tunities are never allowed to be lost for the students to acquire the necessary amount of practice.

PLANS MAPPED OUT Plans have been mapped out for the establishment of a number of technical colleges in the North

From the North of Scotland to the southern counties there came stories of troubles and disasters which, because of the cen- sorship on weather news, could not then be revealed. Now the strange, chaotic picture can be drawn in some of its details.
