(Extract from Tai Kwong Po (†) Hong Kong 9th Feb.1927) Letter from wu Shik (A) to To Chi Hang (5)
Dear Chi Hang, (4/12 (3)
I am sending you a copy of the report on the Boxer
Indemnity, and I hope you will have the first 29 pages published. Pages 12 to 29 treat of a great variety of subjects and are the most unsatisfactory part. Pages 54
to 60 deal with the many forms of procedure followed. Specialists will be very interested in them, but they do
not affect the main conclusions.
On pages 28 and 29 you will find a description of "The object to which attention should be directed". we keep this in view as our premise, we shall be able to
solve all our other difficulties.
Charitable ladies have been wont to favour
If
Christian Schools, but in the end they will find that they
must admit that the Chinese themselves are ultimɛtely
responsible for the conduct and management of their own
education. Page 29 states the proper rule to be followed.
The draft amendment has been correctly drawn up,
but it is a pity that too many important proposals have
been accumulated to be dealt with at the present meeting,
and that we cannot manage to get them all passed until the
meeting in February.
I have lectured in various universities for a
month. I have been to nine universities and worked to death
almost.
I am making haste to complete my studies in the
British Museum, so that I can take my voyage home via
America. I shall be in Peking in about two months.
With kind wishes to all my friends,
Shik Chi()
