Hangchow, June 4.
Controversy still goes on from day to day in the local Press over the rice question: Kiang-ssu being adjured to open her stores to free trade between the provinces, and save the Yives dependent: on them. If report be true, the annexation of a large quantity, and its deportation, from the borders to Japan by the gentry of Fengching, as it was being brought to Hangchow the other day, points to a serious lack of "patriot. ism" on the part of those that preach it loudest.
Master axp Pvrits, Feeling runs strongly against the new principal of the Normal School who, according to the students, had to leave his last post for inefficiency. The biggest charge against the gentleman seems to be that he is of the old school." In the same letter with these charges the students repudiate a counter-charge made against themselves for "introducing Bolshevist measures" into the school. Ca-education, it is said, is only following in the steps of foreign methods which in other departments of school order now guide many of the Government systems. Why should this one issue be disallowed.
