An Inquiry

SHANGHAI DIALECT

To the Editor of the "Noarm-Cunxa Dany News"

Si—Having for some time new been' desirous of -oblaining infor motion upon the matter, T take the liberty of enquiring through your hospitable columns, whether there are any facilities locally for stud fonts of the Shanghai dialect, who wing made reasonable amount of progress in their studies, find that their greatest need now is to meet regularly and frequently in some social atmosphere, one or more fellow students for conversational practice.

Possibly there do exist such facilities, where students like myself could meet gentlemen of Chinese or other nationality, who would be just glad to perfect, and round-off their knowledge of conversational English, as T am to improve command of Chinese.

Could you Sir, or any of your readers oblige with some helpful Information, Shanghai, Jan, 3.
