Realizing that they were constantly receiving diminished eduueational grants because of the interference of the militarists, a new move has commenced recently ito: make public the names of officials using educational funds for their own military purposes. A recent notice said, "In recent. years, the educational resources of the province have frequently been borrowed from by the military, in spite of Governor Chao's orders to the contrary. We have recently had word from Han Shou, an outlying district, that the commander the first brigade, stationed there, took $1,600 from the salt transit officer, an amount equal to half the educational fee to be raised in that district, This was in addition to $1,000" taken previously. Stich proceedings are sure to work harm to the cause of education in Hunan.
This matter is reported to the Governor.and is made public in the hope that such occurrences say be avoided in the future."
