How would you propose to get over the difficulty, i 19376
and a middle house- there is a floor of a house 50 feet,
A.
it has not got windows on each side. Do you think they should be allowed cubicles without any limit, whether there is light in them or not?
My idea is this: That at least there should be two
cubicles.

Suppose we take one toom then. In the first place, I explained to you just now it is very inconvenient with $50 a month income to find a place to reside in. Then how, taking one of your modern Chirese houses, 19379 would you propose there should be two cubicles ↑ There would be one practically without any light. Well, our Chinese cubicles are like this. They dont reach up from the floor to the ceiling. The Chinese put
up a partition of smooth boarding, 8 or 9 feet in height. But then, there are also partitions made of
doors,
and with these partitions if is only the lower
2 or 3 feet that are closed up, and so it cannot be said there is no light.
What do you mean?

The partitions are made of boards and open work on the
top.
You mean what is known to Buropeans as Ping Fung
Yes, all those door partitions have only about 4 or 5
