Learning To Read
A CHINESE "SCHOOL
Adult education in country dis- tricts of South China does not get much beyond the stage of learn- ing to read, writes a correspon- dent in the "Manchester Guar- dian." An Eriglish-woman teacher who has lived there over twenty years has been telling friends in this country of the Aght against
the
literacy. Fortnightly schools are arranged in the villages, the tea- cher travelling out in a springless ox-cart or doing the journey in an old bus guarded by two or three" soldiers in case of a bandit attack. The school may meat in a disused temple court or in a little chapel attached to one of the missions..
In the school described scholars were mostly women and girls, who sat on the bare earthen floor. Some twenty of them came, and the teacher had the assistance of an old Chinese preacher. Owing "to "the various stages at which the scholars were in their ability to read, it was difficult to arrange them into classes. They all liked to be "together. Those who could read a little shouted their bit aloud from the lesson sheets containing simple sentences. To teach the others the two teachers went round drilling individuals in "the thousand characters" to which Chinese has been reduced practical everyday purposes. Some others found the romanised script much easier to follow,

"DRONING RECITAL Usually after a week's lessons of two hours each day the beginners managed to read a few simple lessons. Some of the older wo- men' do not get beyond a droning recital of the alphabet, and they tend to hold the class back. In the afternoon, as a change from learning to read, there is a sing ing lesson. There is no organ or plano In
of the country any schools. and the teacher has to sing a solo over and over again until the tune gets familiar, The most popular story recital is "Pilgrim's Progress," which is given with Chinese characters and is al ways demanded again.
Evening lessons are not practic able owing to lighting difficulties. Some of the women bring electric torches, and there is usually an odd lantern of two. The old- fashioned lantern is enormously popular, and whatever the story or lecture for the night, the first slides put On are ones about hygiene. There are slides which show the results, of fies being al lowed to settle on food and why it is not good to throw refuse in the street. In this way a lesson gra- dually sinks in, and in one village a cleaning-up campaign started after one school had been "held.
