in a Chinese School: An Up-to-dale Government School in Wuchang From a Correspondent, Wuchang, Nov. 21.
VWuehang is a city of schools. They abound in every direction, and cater for every class, from -the kindergarten to the University. One of the best known schools in Wuchany, is the Model Primary School, situated near the Provincial Assembly Hall, with a staff of nearly 50 teachers, and an enrolment of 800 scholars.
When we entered the gate of the school, we saw two little urchins, in neat blue uniforms, valiantly endeavouring to patronize the school tuck shop. This is'run by the scholars themselves, and provides for them an enticing assortment of toothsome daint: Neither of these boys was tall enough to reach the counter, so one hoisted the other up. He loudly demanded copper's worth of sugared orange, and saw he got the right amount too! Then off they went to share their feast and their studies together.
