PlDGIN ENGLISH.
Language Used In Shops and Homes In
Chinese Ports.

In Shanghai in all shops one finds
Chinese familiar with English. but
pften using much pidgin English
"Pidgin" is supposed To be derived
from several changes on the word
business. Which was first shortened
Ia "busin." then through the form of
"pishin" and finally became .'pidcin"
Pidgin English is the language used in
trade and households in the ports of
China. where the Chinese and foreign
IRIS deal with one another. 1t is sim
ilar III its origin to the mixture of Ian
ruages known rs Lingua- Franco in the
Levant and in other parts of the Med
Iterranean. 1t is a direct translation
nf Chinese into English and strictly
idiomatic. For instance. they say,
THAT book. pay N.Y. instead of Give

The Chinese tailors speak fuently in
this odd English. An American lady
went TO n Chinese tailor in Shanghai to
see him regarding putting feather in

with her school and its work.
Mrs. Maggie Hunter gave q splen'
did talk on the need of q Rural High
School which seemed to be the real
thing necessary TO finish up a very
good program.
If consolidation is not yet practi'
cable in this township, she affirmed
that there was not anything to him
der having the higa school and each
pupil could transport itself without
any additional cost to the township.
lShe said the township could be bon
ded for the Improvement just as was
done in the city schools. AS the law
now stands, we have to pay tuition
for those who enter high school.
Why not have one at home and give
all our boys and girls chance for
higher education?
Among others who spoke upon the
betterment Of schools was Mr.. Jud-
son Covey, who thought we needed
a better system of schools. The
teachers were doing good work with
their limited means of equipment.
He expressed himself as ready and
willing to do something to bring
about consolidation or high school
privileges at least.
We were entertained by two very
beautiful piano selections, one by
Miss Edna Tucker and the other by
Miss Gertrude Zeigler. They were
enjoyed very much by the apprecias
tive audience. Those two ladies

everyone who assisted in making the
program an entertaining one; also
the attentive audience which always
gives inspiration to any meeting.
