Peking, Nov. 30.
Unless a sudden windfall comes to the University from the Ministry of Education in the form of $250,000, by the time this appears in print the teachers and professors of all the Government institutions in Peking, including the Government Univers-sill have been on strike for two days already. This means that about 1,500 members of the teaching profession will be~idle, and 40,000 students will be left entirely uncontrolled and enabled once again to take an active part in advising the Government how to carry on the Administration and how to settle the most pressing diplomatic questions of the day. Coming as it does at a time when the Government is busily engaged in an endless quarrel with Japan over the recent escape of Little Hsu, the Hungchun affair, the Chinese Eastern Railway and what not, the strike will give the student' body excellent opportunity of organing mass meetings and popular demonstrations on a scale perhaps grander than even those which shook the entire educational world in China just 18 months ago.
