Jan. 5 (Central)- Plans for the promotion of higher education to be carried out in the course of this, year were revealed by Mr. Chang Pei-hal, special commissioner of the Minstry of Education, who is now on a tour of inspection of the educational Institutions In Kwangtung and Kwangsi provinces. Mr. Chang arrived at Kweilin on New Year's Day.

Mr. Chang said that in order to advance the higher education of the country, the Ministry of Education has decided to establish in Chungking a National Social Education College. Meanwhile, in view of the growing scarcity of the instructors of Chinese, it is also planned to establish an institute devoted to the study of Chinese literature and classics,

For the purpose of unifying the polley of normal education, Mr. Chang continued. the Ministry has in the past years established six normal colleges for men and. one for women in different parts of the country. However, it has "been found that their number 15 still short of the demands. Hence, it is planned that more normal colleges will be established this year.
