The »Kung i cheng» — a school of handicraft. Established by the present Viceroy in Lanchow and like the one functioning there, though smaller. About ioo skilled workmen teach about 5o pupils. The result, especially financially, is said to be below the average and it is reported that the school is to be closed.
The »Pa chih ti tsung hsiao tang». A school for the Manchurian population. Opened 7-8 years ago Tuition, food and gymnastic suits gratis. — A »Kao teng hsiao tang» is to be established in the Manchurian town for higher education. — 6 masters, 2 of whom are Manchurians. None have studied abroad. — 6o-7o pupils. — Success is rewarded by a few dachen. Subjects taught:
English
Japanese (no master) gymnastics
exercises and marching
Chinese literature natural science
Manchurian chemistry
history physics
geography drawing and a little topography
mathematics rules of propriety (?)
Lessons proceed in all the schools from 8 to 12 and from i to 3 p.m.
The buildings are comfortable, and even luxurious, with large courtyards, light auditoria, occasionally built in the shape of an amphitheatre, and excellent gymnastic apparatus. Some of them already possess quite good geological, zoological, physical, chemical, anatomical and botanical collections and especially libraries. The majority of the objects come from Japan. The pupils live in couples in light and comfortable rooms and have their meals at small tables in large dining-rooms. The masters also live in the school and have their meals in their separate dining-room. Chemistry, physics, natural science and Japanese are mostly taught by Japanese masters. A couple of them use interpreters. — The masters are undoubtedly far in advance of those I saw at Lanchow. A high percentage of them has been to Japan. There are, however, too few of them in proportion to the number of pupils and many are not up to their work. The question of masters will be a weak point
