Shanghai has for many years, confess. edly, taken the lead of Hongkong in such amongst its foreign residents a large matters, chiefly because it numbered number of official and missionary resi dents to whom the study of the language, manners, and enstoms of the Chinese was u sine qua non in the exercise of their professional duties.
