Peking, June 3
Interviewed yesterday by the representatives of teachers here, Mr. Ma, Vice-Minister of Education, made a proposal to provide about $270,000, one-third of the amount decided upon at the Cabinet Council as stipend to the teachers, but they flatly rejected the proposal, demanding the payment of the total sum. They are thus taking a firm attitude and are pressing the Vice-Minister of Education hard. The Union of Public Bodies here is making preparations to hold a national meeting on June 5 in connexion with the problem of the maintenance of Chinese education at home and abroad.—Eastern News Agency.
