Witty sarcasm mingled with kind

a young Chinese student at the Uni
verslty Of Pennsylvania. The speaker,
Tai Chi Francis Quo, is Freshman
in the Wharton School, sent by his

old, handled his subject, America
and China" and his English like
veteran.
your Western traditions and
manners seemed ridiculous to me
when I came to America, just as
those of my country appear to you"
he said But did not say that is
nonsense! That is needless! you
should not do that.
Chinese students are sent to
America because it is the most demo
cratic, the most advanced, the most
just nation in the world; but [ some
times wonder if it is when think Of
the Chinese exclusion act. On the
other hand America deserves credit
for it's generous return of the Boxer
indemnity, which the Chinese Gov
eminent will use in the education of
Chinese students in America.
China is quick to copy the great
ness of America but not to become
'Americanized,' for America has it's
vices. MANY profess Christianity who
do not practice it.
"Confucianism, - he declared, lis
sufficient for the Chinese people, and
while the charity and educational
work of American missionaries are
appreciated, their religion is not suffi-
GENTLY needed as moral force to
ever become established in China"
