AMERICANS MASTER CHINESE.
More Than 1000 Women Missionaries
Have Learned Language.

\ traveller visiting in China for the
first time is struck by the number of
American women he meets who speak
the native tongue fluently. His first con
ciuSi0n Is that these young women he
meets everywhere, even IN the isolated
interior towns, must be American born
stenographers. Finally, however, he
learns that they are missionaries. Al
the Methodist university in Pekiu,
which more than six hundred Chinese
students attend, the traveller may meet
Miss Alice Terrell. professor of mathe-
MATES. Miss Terrell has been interested
in educational work in China for fifteen
years, and is pointed ont as one of the
greatest American-Chiueseh nguists. She
is now III this country on Il years leave
of absence, and is devOting this time to
special work at Columbia university.
One of the books that Miss Terrell
Drought with her out of the Orient is The
chinese Bible. This she always keeps
within reach, so that during her odd
moments she hay read il. and thus insure
no loss of the language that required
many months of intelligent study on her
part Ia absorb for the practical purposes
Of university instruction.
There are 1850 of these young women
scattered about In every province of Chi

women missionaries who are independent
workers or are assisting their husbands

Including the old Chinese classics
which are not used today. the Chinese
language contains between $4,000 and
10000 characters.
While no American ever completely
mastered the Chinese tongue, the same
can be said of the Chinese themselves.

to this would be few of the profound

would not be able to read the ancient
