Peking, Dec. 13.
The Ministry of Education in accordance with the Government instruction to dismiss all officials in excess of the 1919 budget has dismissed a large number, but finds that there are many with real work to do and so these have been placed on a list of extraordinary officials which is divided into two classes, one receiving monthly salary ranging, from $30 to $120 per month and the other grade receiving from $20 to $80 per month.—Reuter.
