.O-EDS IN CHINA YET.
snts do Not Boast-Show Great
Respect for the Faculty.

- stude'ts in Chinese colleges always
speak modestly of their alma matAr
though they 60 to the opposite exN
treme in bestowing praise on other
colleges, according to King C. Ling, a
finance student at Ney York Univer-
sity, who halls from Shanghai, China.
at is not considered good etiquette
in China to boast Of ones alma ma
ter" explained Ling. "The Chinese
student speaks Of his own college as
my very humble alma mater. He
never boasts about it as an American
does. He only bestows praise when
he is referring to an institution that
is rival of his alma mater.
Teaching is rated much higher in
the scale Of professions in China than
1t Is in America. There it is second
to no profession. Chinese student
show greater respect for their profess
: sors than American students do, and
it would be considered gross in
:ivility An China for student tn pass
teacher without respectfully remov-
. ing his hat.
Cali Of the American athletics are
popular in Chinese colleges, with the
exception Of football AS in England,
the students play soccer instead Of
the rougher American game.
"The Chinese have adopted many
Of the features of the American edu-
cational system and the attendance of
many Chinese students at American
institutions Of higher learning is re-
sulting in an increased American in
fiuence in Chinese universities,' said
Ling. at is interesting to note that,
although there are at present 30 Chi
ness students at New York Univer-
sity, only one Of them is having his
tuition paid by the Chinese govern
ment. The others are private stu
dents and are paying their own way
through college. The men and women
are educated in separate institutions
in China.
