Show Education of Chinese Girls. Because they marry as soon as they leave the grades the little girls in China receive chiefly a moral education educa-tion in school. The average girl enters school at the age of ten, and is married shortly after she finishes her brief educational course. The proverbial Chinese politeness is taught in the school as well as in the home. From their very entrance into school up to the time when they leave the classroom class-room the little girls learn how to greet, bow to receive visitors according to the old Chinese laws of ceremony, how to offer tea, how to offer an umbrella to an aged lady or how to share It with a companion. Home economics are taught. Girls help their mother in the household and clean father's books. Liuring the last year in grade school, the young Chinese daughters of modern families learn civics and receive a sort of patriotic instruction. |
