WRITES OF COUNTRY
(Continued from page two)
take far too much of your time to go
l".to detail regarding them. At Naga
saki our boat coaled. This process is
all done by hand. Women, men and
children bring the ccal out on barges
In the wee morning hours, baskets
are filled and passed from hand to
hand until they finally reach the coal
room. The people worked unceasingly
all day. Three thousand tons were
put on In this manner. It seems al
most Impossible that people can de
velop such speed.
I can't begin to tell you the feeling
I had when I tried to realize that I was
thousands of miles from home half
way around the world. The girls who
met me took care of my baggage so
all I had to do was to look to my
heart's content.
1 wonder if all new arrivals have
sensations like mine? Nothing was as
I thought It would be. These are a
few of my first impressions: an Im
posing street. The Bund, lined with
handsome buildings, an unceasing
stream of tram cars, luxurious motors.
fine hordes and carriages, tall bright
ly colored tiirbaned black-skinned
sihks, Japanese, In fact men and wom
en of all nationalities, a garden,
coolies with queues, a begger in rags
with terrible sores, rikshas, barges,
intense heat, and the fearful glare of
the sun. I walked around like one in a
daze, for even at best. I had expects
rather primitive conditions.
Shanghai Y. W. C. A. Center
Shanghai Is the national center for
all the Y. W. C. A. work In China so
we have here our national as well as
local headquarters. I was soon meet
ing secretaries, having money ex
changed, getting mail until my poor
head ached. I learned, too, that- I
was not to be In Shanghai but would
be sent to some language school -as
soon as they decided upon the dialect
I was to study.
On Monday the national board de
cided that I should leave at midnight
for Nanking where I was to study
Southern Mandarin. Miss Coppock
and I had a rather uneventful trip.
The Chinese sleepers are much bet
ter than the Japanese, although even
they are sadly lacking In springs.
About 6 o'clock in the morning we
saw Turple Mountain, then the city
wall, and were soon" at the station.
The university of Nanking is about
five miles frdm the station. Our trip
took us through some awful parts of
the city. I frankly confess that I
was quit sick before we arrived at the
Wilson's where I was to live too
many sights, smells, and sounds. Im
mediately after a hasty breakfast we
went to the language nchool and so
began my first .year's work.
I know that you would be Interested
to know something about Nanking.
ID is a very Important city of about
4,000,000 Inhabitants. Formerly it was
the capitol of China and even now Is
one of the most strategic points. Here
were have twenty-three miles of the
finest walls In China, parts of the old
Tartar wall, the remains of the
Manchu and the Forbidden cities. Just
outside the wall Is Purpose Mountain
unde which the sacred dragon is sup
posed to lie. Revolutions are always
In the process of beginning or ending
here in China and Nanking gets In
them all.
Strenuous Schedule
But to get down to the regular dally
schedule from 8 30 In the morning
till noon, six days in the week, and
from 2 to 4. Ave days a wecV, w are
in school. I have never studied so
hard In my life as I have on this lan
guage, all day It Is Chinese, Chinese,
We have six periods of forty minutes
each during the day. My schedule
runs something like this: First period,
new characters, at preset we average
ten (o f.fteen a day; second period.
itUw; third ruliid. study with inv
prlvato teacher; fourth period, on
Monday. Wednesday mnl Kilday. we
are divided Into sinul! group for con
versation; this sam' p.rlod on Tues
day and Thursday we liuw phonetics.
In the ufti'i-uooti tlie firth period on
Monday. Wednesday and Friday 1 at
tempt to write I'hlncse harm tors,
while on Tm-.-day and Thursday, this
hon.e hour. I have review. Sixth period
I read wlih my individual teacher,
loiter we hhall have led urea In dif
ferent Milijecis essential to our fu
ture nieces with working with the
Chinese.
The sophomore c!as Is not very
large; our freshman class bns about
lxty members. We fed that we are
quite the people. At present we are
trying to famish the nodal room. It
Is very Interesting to plan furniture,
rugs, and such and as chairman of the
committee I am tryinR tn pick up
valuable pointers which will help me
when I furnish up my own rooms. We
have n t-econd semester class who are
Just liCRinning the work but as they
number only ten we fed that we can
lord It over them to our heart's content.
I had dreaded to studv Chinese, but i
now I find it simply rascinatiug. It
is such a satisfaction to be learning
something which is practical, some
thing which we can go right out and
use on the street. Our vocabulary at
present is very simple and limited.
I have Fpent more agony with trying
to make my teacher understand that
at 12 o'clock I eat foreign food or that
at 4 o'clock I go home, than I have
ever put upon any other subject. If
you really want to do something dif
ferent, come out here to study for a
year.
Five of us Y. W. C. A. secretaries
are living in one home our "little
apartment" consists of two bed rooms,
a small bath, and a living room some
thirty feet long. Bit by bit we have
bought this and that until we begin
to feel quite like property owners.
We have invested in Japanese em
broidered screens, big wicker chairs,
Chinese incense burners, vases, jars,
brass bowls, antique tea pots, wine
cups, water buffalo, and hundreds of
other things.
After school on Mondays I have a
class in English conversation at the
Y. W. C. A. I am really interested
in it and even my boys seem to enjoy
it. At recess times, instead of play
ing, they crowd up close to ask me all
manners of questions. To be very
polite in China one should always
ask your age, comment upon each
article of clothing you wear, and ask
you its price. It is said that in cer
tain places you are even asked if your
teeth are real and if your hair is your
own. Then on Tuesdays I have play
ground work in one of the girls'
schools. I can't say that the Chinese
girls are so very fond of outdoor
sports but one doesn't wonder much
because their tight trousers and tiny
feet are not made for such active
work. Most of my girls are In the
normal training class and hope some
day to teach these games in the native
schools. As soon as spring comes we
Khali try to do some terious work in
basketball and indoor baseball. Just to
sec how good teams can be developed.
We have a rather old chapter of
the American Red Cross here In Nank
ing. We try to do our bit In various
way. There are classes in garment
making, surgical dressing, and first
aid work. These make one feel as
though .America was really not so far
away, that even out here we can be
helping In the war.
As I said in the beginning I am
swamped with material. From now on
I shall try to chat with you about the
temples, street scenes, and general
Chinese life. Now that I can under
stand some Chinese and so can get
about easier it Is much more Inter
esting both to go to different Chinese
places and to write letters. You shall
never be inflicted with such a lengthy
epistle as this again but on the other
hand be sure that you write to me
often and at great length. Home mall
really means much to us out here so
take pity on the, orphan.

THE BALANCE OF A WELL-BALANCED
BILL ORPHEUM TODAY
While Brooks Is the big headliner,
there are several other acts worthy of
commendation. One Is that of Com
fort and King, who discuss divorces
among colored people. The witticisms
rouse considerable mirth, the verbal
delivery in approved "coon" style mak
ing a hit. Ben Bernie and Phil Baker,
"the syncopated funsters," are Im
mense in making the violin and aceor
deon "talk." Admirers of dancing have
plenty to meet their wishes In the pro
gram provided by Lester Sheehan and
Pearl Regay. Adelaide Boothby and
Charles Everdean entertain for fifteen
minutes with "novelty songs and trav
esty." Othera contributing to the ex
cellent bill are Selma Braatt. Juggler.
