such circumstances as these.
School lasts usually from s o'clock
in the morning till sunset with one
hours break for the midday meal.
Chinese boys have no Sunday, but on
the way to and from school there Is
as much rushing about and playing
as with our schoolboys at home. Then
the primer and the slate, wrapped up
cloth, are quickly laid on the
ground when it is the time to give q
cuff or blow. We see boys enjoy
ing the games of ball, blind mans
buff, soldiers, robbers or horses,
where the pigtail serves as reins, dy-
ing kites and many other well-known
games.
"Girls as q rule are not sent to
school; the mother superintends their
training in homework. AS soon az
the girls are old enough they are
taught to cook, sew, make and mend
clothes and indeed to do all domestic
work. But the enlightened Chinese
sends his daughter to school when the
nearness of a mission or some other
school gives him an opportunity.
