Seventy young Chinese. the very pick OF
the empire for intelligence, industry and
capacity, spent an hour in Omaha sunday
evening on their way east to enter nlitu-
Der of American institutions Of learning.
Every year It is a custom Of the Chinese
government to send over party which
finds in American colleges the technical

given to the people at home. Every large
university of importance in the country

most typically American. The University

due. four; Columbia, three; Boston Insti-
tute of Technology, two; Yale, two; Vir-
ginia, two: Armour, two; Pennsylvania

Worcester Technology Institute, one; Call
fornia, one; Williams one; Washington
High school, one, and six go to colleges
not yet selected.
Like the United states.
I'VE enjoy studying in the United States, "
said one smooth quiet keen looking OIL
entail who had been over before and spoke
! excellent English and we are particularly
fond of the middle western universities,
because they give US such fine profess
stonaI training and a truly American atrnos-
phere that is cosmopolitan at the same
time. The cosmopolitan clubs as they are
| established at places like Ann Arbor are
great helps TO US In getting acquainted,
particularly with students from, other for
edgn countries"
The young man in our party range In
age from B years to about q. Most Of
them are between 19 and D. They VIII
devote their studies to two important
branches, engineering OF various kinds and
political science and economy. The eng1-
neering students VIII study mining and
nnetallurgy, agriculture and the other allied
subjects, while the others Will take VI
many cultural courses and the other
sciences. Two viii study for business
