More funds for the support of
public education with a resulting
increase in additional facilities
are probable in the coming years
according to Dean J. B. Edmon-
son of the education school.

tion" Monday at a lecture for
graduate students in education.
Predicts Changes
He predicted changes which
"though not revolutionary in char-
acter" would bring improvement
to the educational system. Many
of these changes will involve
bringing the school in closer con-
tact with community needs. Prob-
lems such as poverty, housing,
sanitation and health will have a
greater part in the instructional
program he said. The schools will
attempt to provide a more exten-
sive program of guidance for all
youth, including those out of
school and to make programs of
vocational training more general-
ly available. More effective con-
sideration of the educational needs
of minority groups will also be
given in the future he believes.
Dean Edmonson emphasized the
importance of vigorous efforts to
modify the attitudes and condi-
tions that h a v e handicapped
American education. A program
of information for the public to
acquaint it with the aims and pur -
poses of education and to combat
the feeling that it is an excessive
drain on the national income is
necessary, he said.
Weakness of System
Other failings of the education-
al system which Dean Edmonson
di s c u ss e d iclude overcrowdd
teachers, the disadvantage voca-
tional instruction hashigen paed
tige claimed for academic subjects
and the internal disagreements
among various groups within the
system.
Educational workers must face
the responsibility for capitalizing
on the possible bright prospects
for schools and at the same time
work to eliminate weakness Dean
Edmonson said.

Yuen Ren Chao
Explains 'Alh'
Of Language
How thc Chinese use interjec-
tions such as "oh" and "ah" was
explained yesterday by Prof. Yuen
Ren Chao, of the Academia Sinica
in Nanking, at the second Ling-
uistic Institute luncheon confer-
ence.
Thie problem of giving interjec-
tions and emotional pitch tunes to
utterances in Chinese is especially
difficult, because it is a language
which makes a pitch tune an in-
tegral part of every word, Prof.
Chao explained.
One of the means by which
Chinese solve the problem, in
addition to extra-grammatical de-
vices, is by treating interjections
with special and invariant tones
which are different from those of
more regular words. Thus, Prof.
Chao said, many Chinese inter-
jections have a special rising tone
in all dialects, whereas the tones
of other more regular words are
subject to dialect variation.
Emphasis on particular words in
the sentence is secured, Prof. Chao
declared, by increasing the range
of the tones of words. As in-
dividual words are emphasized, the
tone patterns are stretched so that
the low tones are lower and the
high tones higher.
A final device described by Prof.
Chao consists of adding a suffix
of a special nature, such as an ex-
tra falling tone at the end of the
wd, sounding somethilikete
an English period, This is added
is complete, Prof Chao comet
ed, and is used for such things as
expressing satisfaction or approv-
al, or informing the ignorant.
