6 Chinese Learning Astounds Reynolds (Continued from page five) government schools are now teaching modern science. The very alphabet is being changed, or rather an alphabet is being for the first time introduced. Marvelous results are being told and retold of how even an ignorant coolie can after six months instruction, learn enough to read the posters and news bulletins which are becoming such a power in the dissemination of knowledge. Machinery and transpor- tation facilities are coming to relieve the daily toil and remove the other bar. To be sure, in Peking, the age- old capital of the Empire, and today the First city of the Chinese Republic, they to this day water their dusty and unpaved streets by drawing the water up, hand over hand from an open well by the roadside, carrying the bucket to the middle of the street and there scattering it by means of a long-handled dipper. But machinery is coming and general education is coming and the hungry longing of centuries is going to be increasingly gratified and the boys and girls of China are going to know and do. Real Hall of Learning We have wandered far irom the Halls of Confucious,--and yet perhaps not so far after all. But to return for a moment,--it was quite delightful to find never an image nor an idol nor a figure of any kind. Just the splen- did shady courtyards, the halls with their great stone tablets close carved with all the Chinese classics, and the spacious rooms where the teachers sat while they explained the classics and examined their pupils. In one _ hall we saw a rare treasure, ten black stones, each hewn into cylinder form nd covered with characters of the ncient Chinese seal writing.

OQ more of thi Ee Aan "China. - Facinating Country We are increasingly fascinated by the remarkable past of this great country. Our imaginations are kindled by the possibilities for her future. We long to follow up the avenues of inquiry and study which open on every side. But for the pres- ent most of our time and energy is spent in trying to follow the intricacies of the most abominable language ever invented by man. Dr. Heminway of Shansi says that one of the older missionaries once characterized the Chinese language as "an invention of the devil to keep people from under- standing cach other." We agree.
