The nation’s education leaders have long insisted that elimination of illiteracy is essential if China is to take her place among the advanced powers. Prime mover in the drive against lliteracy is Dr. Shih-Chieh Wang, minister of education. Dr. Wang an- nounced that after the first phase of the program is completed, in 1940, the pericd of compulsory education -will be extended to two years. After 1944 the minimum term of schocling required for all children will be four years.

We cannot, however, shut our eyes to the fact that, for the last 30 years or more, Abyssinia has been an un- comfortable neighbor and, in spite of the efforts of the present Emperor, she has made little progress in fitting herself into the modern world. Partly through the fault of the European powers themselves, Abyssinia has pinned her faith on playing off one against the other. Trouble Double Rooted. The present trouble has arisen be- eause, firstly, Abyssinia has proved herself a difficult neighbor and has been unwilling to arrange definite frontiers because she was anxious to retain a sort of exercise ground for raiding parties.
