FONG S IDEAL WORLD 1
On the campus of the Appalachian '
State Teach el's College is to be found *
a most interesting personality in the t
person of \V. D. Feng, brilliant Chinese,
Canadian-born scholar who is
.studying in this country preparatoiv
to returning to his native land or to
Canada to play a diplomatic hand in
the great transformation that is taking
place there in their efforts to
become at par with the rest of the
world in the commercial circles of the
great nations. Fong is obtaining several
degrees in this country before
returning to hi? life's work. He
speaks fluent French, receives a Chinese
daily newspaper which he reads
from cover to covet, and handles English
better than many a native-born
son of the language.
After this summer work at Appalachia.
he is planning to go to a military
College at Charleston, South
Carolina, for further study of diplomatics
and that, phase of activity,
after which he will return to hi?,
work.
F??ng is possessed of a very brilliant
intellect and it is interesting to
hear his conception of an Ideal
World. His idea develops with the
principles of right lining given primary
consideration in ail relations of
man to man and country to country
dealings. But let his tell you in his
own well-ehosen words just what he
dreams for the future:
4 * After seeing what interminable
toil the world has been in since its
creation, it is almost, if not wholly,
Impossible for me to picture an ideal
world. One can, however, suggest
things that he considers essential to
an ideal world Any one such point
cannot be absolutely independent of
the other. And, besides, since the
whole idea is only a fancy of the
brain, some of the specific points
must of necessity be such. The things
1 shall discuss are: a universal language,
world peace, balanced industry.
and world-wide Christianity.
'Before God sent the flood that
destroyed every one except Noah an.d
hi? family, the woyld was extremely
sinful. When the human race sprang
up again, their language was still .
universal. The people were working
in harmony. They journeyed from
the East to the land of Shinar where
they built a city- Because their ideals
were not well developed, the universal
language was not appreciated
enough to hold them together. When
they said, "Let us make a name!"
they fell from the favor of God and
he confounded their language. No
one could then understand his fel"lowman
and confusion followed. If
there were a universal language to1
day it would go a long long way toward
bringing about worirl peace, my
second step toward an ideal world.
"Before an ideal world can possibly
exist; the nations, the organizations,
and the individual men must
pave the way for such by settling differences
by arbitration rather than
by force. War is positively destructive.

Adults Contract Children's
Disease*
Adults can, and do, contract ma ay
children'? disease*. And. usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract, worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expensive
medical treatments, without realissbjj
that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet, the symptoms are the

"By balanced industry I mean the
employer and the employee, the producer

the seller each as anxious to give as

pach individual should have sufficient
employment to keep him octu-j;
