DIR. j. Vinton Scott arrived
the latter part of last week from
Shanghai, China, on a business
trip which will keep him here
about six weeks. DR.. Scott IN
well known in st. Johns where
he spent most Of his life prior TO
going TO China with his wife and
four years ago. Fol
lowing his graduation from North
Pacific dental college he prac-
ticed dentistry here for several
years.
While DR.. Scott is glad Of the
opportunity TO visit the United
States and feels particularly at
home in st. Johns, although he
can see many changes in the last
four years, he says that neither
be nor his wife has a desire TO re-
turn TO the U. s. to live, at least
not yet. There il a fascination
about the life in Shangai, where
you meet so many interesting
people and where the common
irudgery is done by servants OBJ
tained at small cost. Even in
ais work as a dentist, DR.. Scott
says he is able TO hire cOOlie boys
who assist with the laboratory
work making it much easier for
him.
There are, of course, some dis
advantages among which, he
says, is the necessity of having
% cook all fruits and vegetables
before they can be eaten on ac-
count Of the system of fertiliza-
ion used by the Chinese. The |
summers are intensely hot and
mosquitoes are quite plentiful
lot the large variety, however,
,ut the small ones from which
wen mosquito netting does not
always protect you.
In the foreign settlement, he |
ays, there is every known con-
'enience. They have motor cars
# American make, he, himself, |
laving a Dodge in which they |
axe some beautiful drives.
there are also private schools for
he foreign children while the
,hinese children have but little
dvantage in educational facili-
les.
Children seven years of age
it a privilege TO work in
he silk mills for twelve hours a
ay, receiving only few pennies
S wages. The foundries also
mploy many children Of this
ge, who swing heavy hammers
or twelve hours.
The native school houses are
asily discerned by the noise
yhich comes from the children
tudying aloud-the louder he
tudies, the more the education.
DR.. and Mrs. Scott are the
arents Of twin boys who arrived
I their home in Shanghai about
i've months ago. The boys are ]
William Howard and j. Vinton.
