Quoting the large enterprises for the
amelioration of the hard conditions
of life are clear-visioned, warm
hearted men of education. Such
training, as we know, must not only
make a man wiser. happier, better;
it also must teach the youth to
know, to do, and to be splendid,
worthy citizens.
IF any one should ask which
must be and is the most civilized
country in the world. the answer
would be America The reason is
that the fabric of her life is woven.

of her citizens. Sterling manhood

serve her. Her citizen OF today is
at once the most fortunate and fate
full of men, blessed with opportunity
and burdened with responsibility.
<tT A CITIZEN of China, have
come to this cultured land,
and after a brief eighteen
months stay, l find that the advan-
tages and progress compared with
those 1 enjoyed in China, are by far
the greatest. The reason Is because
the educational system in my native
land is not SO well developed as the
American. Throughout most of
China the people have learned to
recognize the value of steam and
electricity and of modern machinery
and implements, but our own schools
and universities are not enough to
permit us to partake of the instruc-
ton in the useful arts.
Now as the great war is over, We
are more civilized than before. Our
(the Chinese) government has sent
many students to foreign countries
to learn the use OF new implements,
manufacturing, commerce, politics,
laws, railroads banking and engi-
neering, etc. Most of our students
come to America. as she is the ma
ton of freedom. and every man has
the same treatment. The future
hope of China will depend on these
students. and we all hope that under
protection and help, we
shall have the opportunity of learn
ing more and more.
School buildings are so we'll
planned and are very efficient in
ventilation. They are very clean.
quiet and orderly. SO that should
you get the chance Of stepping into
these places, you would think that
they are the Gardens of Paradise"
Teachers have not only the gener-
osity of helping, but the glory of
guiding as in the good way. Let
our love for mankind flow into daily
thoughts, the sentiments OF our
hearts are boundless in the earnest
hope and belief that in both Amer
lea and China the sentiments of
peace on earth, good will to men of
all chimes and of all races are grow
ing strosger.
