ROUTINE OF A CHINESE SCHOOL

Each Chinese schoolboy must fur
nish his own stool and table for
school work and the -Four Precious
Articles" which are the ink slab, a
cake of India ink a brush for writing
and paper. With these he begins
his weary task of learning to write
and read the thousands of Chinese
characters. These are to open the
way to the Chinese classics, and
knowledge of this ancient literature
and wisdom means education to the
Chinese. At the opening of the Chi
nese school a paper on which is
written the name of Confucius is
pasted on the wall Before this hon
ored name the pupils and teachers
burn paper money and joss sticks and
bow their heads three times 10 the
floor The teacher then tells Con-
lucius the day, the month and the
year. and begs for his favor. Every
