Show SCHOOL FOR CHINESE DOYS. The? Wilt l.rn Amerlran no.lnrM Jlrlhod. for f. at Home. "There nro aeverol hundred Chinamen China-men In and around Pittsburg," aald M C, S. Fowler of that Pennsylvania to a Washington Post man, "and it", are going tn Inaugurate a plan by which a numbor ot young Chlnrso lade will be brought over to America and given nn education, embracing mastery mas-tery of the English language and Yan-keo Yan-keo wnya of doing business. "The proposition Is to establish a school for that purpose nnd there I hardly a doubt that the enterprise will be carried out. A Chinaman who has a young brother nt home will be glad to defray ths boy' expense to tho United State, and hi schooling whlla here, so that ho may go back and a-aumn a-aumn a position of Influence In his native na-tive land by reason of hi mastery ot modern business methods. The Chinese Chin-ese are enthusiastic on tho subject and many of them have announced a willingness will-ingness to subscribe money, "It will be a good thing not only for tho celestials, but for the United States, for since there Is going to be sharp competition for the trade of tho east, It will be a good Idea to have dealing, with Americanised Chinamen. Germany Ger-many has been for a long tlmo nt work encouraging tho coming ot Chinese youth to the schools of the fatherland, for she wants a share of the fat commerce com-merce of the empire. A a consequence, conse-quence, tho German language la heard over there oftener than any other foreign for-eign tongue. If we ran, by pursuing the same tactic, cause many of the young men of China to come here to bo educated, we will get our share ot the oriental trade." |
