BLOFENING OF THE PROVINCIAL COLLEGE

KULILIN.

(From Our Qum: Correspondent,)

Kuerzan (Kwangsi), September 6. Although for some time there has been a Provincial College in existence in this city, to be exact since 1899, it has hitherto occupied buildings of a more or less cramped nature, and the actual classrooms and lecture halls were insignificant in size and fittings, but this has now been changed, under the energetio and progressive lead of the new governor of the Colle.e, Seng Tao-

Tai, a native of the Fuhkien Province. About four or five months have been occupied in the alterations, Mr Li, the teacher of English, also a native of Fuhkien, has noted as architect, and certainly the results do him credit. Throughout the work has been personally superintended by Seng Tao Tai, who has modelled the College, upon the lines of the Japanese institutions, which he personally inspecting during a three or four months residence in that country.

The work was completed about the 18th of August and opened by Viceroy Teen on the 21st. The following day, I and a 1376 friend were invited by the governor of the college to pay a visit of inspection. We were much struck by the really fine new entrance to the buildings; these, I might say, are built on the bank of -a branch of the Cassia River, and thus lend themselves more readily to the builders' art.
