province of Chihli there are ninety-nine
boys to every girl receiving instruction.
Girls schools, however. are being started,
and the center of the movement is here
l understand that about 10 per cent of
the Tientsin school children are now
girls and that their schools embrace all
grades from the kindergarten to the high
school. There are also normal schools
where Chinese girls are being trained for
teaching the primary schools. and there
is a school of domestic economy, where
they learn cooking, sewing and house
keeping.
The only medical college for women in
China is in TlentSn. 1t was established
by Yuan Shih kai, and is supported out
of the salt revenue. Salt is a govern
ment monopoly and one of the chief
sources from which the government
funds come. This medical school is an
academy rather than a college. 1t is to
train women to act as teachers in med
ica1 schools which are to be established,
to fit girls as matronS for the new hos
pitfalls and as aids in the new sanitary
work which is TO be carried on through
out the empire.
The head of the college is DR.. Yamei
Kin, Chinese woman of twenty-five or
thirty years, who was educated in the
United States. She spent a part of her
life in Washington, and came here with

Roosevelt DR.. Yamei Kin is a graduate
of the Medical College of the New York

The old city are fast disappearing and
macadamized roads, electric trolleys and
iron bridges are taking their places The
old wall, forty feet high and twenty feet
wide, gray with age, has been torn down,
and a broad avenue, as smooth as the
drive in Rock Creek Park in Washing
ton. now runs around the great city.
There is a car line upon it, and its
motormen have driven the passenger
wheelbarrow coolies quite out of busi-
ness.
The tearing down of that wall was one
of the rude blows which made Tientsin
rouse up and take notice. 1t was done
by the foreign troops at the time of
the Boxer rebellion, and that notwith
standing the protests and prayers of the
natives. The Chinese became greatly eX-
cited and said that destroying. the walls
would ruin their city. "A town without
walls" said they, lis like woman with
out a kootsu-that is, without pantaloons
1t is disgraceful and it cannot succeed"
Nevertheless, the powers took the pants
off of Tientsin. and since then the old
municipal lady has been trotting along at
telegraphic speed. The macadamized road
on the site of the walls has been copied
all over the place, and there are clean
streets everywhere. The city has grown
far beyond the old walls and a great
new town has sprung up, with factories
and foundries and modern schools Of
every description. The Chinese nabobS
have built magnificent residences, some
of which are of two or three stories, and
they now ride about in their carriages,
with coachmen and footmenz in livery.
Tientsin lies on the Pei-ho at about
ninety miles from the sea. In a straight
line the distance is not mere than half
that, but the river winds in and out
like the coils of snake all the way. 1t
is winding in the city itself and canals

branch Of the American Y. M. c. A.
The foreign concessions are only an ap-
probation of the great movements which
are going on among the Chinese. The
real progress is In the native city, and in
the vast suburbs, which are growing up
on the opposite side of the river. Dur
ing the past four years there has been a
greater educational development in Tien-
tsin than almost anywhere else in the
world. This is broad statement, but
the facts justify it.
Since the Boxer rebellion millions of
dollars have been invested in school
buildings and schools of all kinds have
been established. [ took drive yester-
day, going past structure after structure
of brick or stone and covering acres. All
are devoted TO schools and in them are
being taught the sciences of our civiliza-
ton. There are kindergartens and pri-
mary schools, secondary and grammar
technical academies, as we'll as high
schools and a large university. Tientsin
has now twenty night schools, attended
by those who cannot go during the day.
1t has number of halliday schools and
eighteen lecture halls, where men talk
night after night on such subjects as
those of our university extension courses
The lectures last from half hour to an
hour, and their subjects comprise geo
graphy, history and travel and also So
cial and political economy, modern gov
ernment and constitutional reform There
are four such halls in Tientsin where lee
lures are held every night for six days of
the week, and there are 130 other lecture
halls of a similar nature which are in
constant use in other cities of this pro-
vince.

Tientsin has long had it's military acad-
emies; and 1t has today large schools
for training soldiers. There were army
and naval academies here before the
Japan-China war. They were organized
by Ii Hung Chang while he was viceroy
Ii had already seen the need of a reor-
ganization Of the Chinese army, a need
which he came to appreciate more and
more during the China-Japan war and
the Boxer rebellion. In the first he lost
his yellow jacket, and the strain of the
second was SO great that he died soon
after.
After Ii left the viceroyalty other pro-
gressive officers were appointed for
Chihli, and among them was Yuan Shih
Kai, who acted as such until a short
time ago. Yuan Shih Kai was the author
of the most progressive of the new in
stitutions of Tientsin, and under him
not only the military but every form Of
education has been pushed. Today there
are a medical college for the education
