Mme. Chiang Kai-shek's Foundation for Children of Officers Killed on Service Faost Our Own Commsroxone:
Nanking, Jan. 8 'Amongst the most interesting of Nanking's more modern develop ments are the two schools founded by Madame Chiang Kai-shek for the children of officers killed on active service. The boys' school has been In existence for six years and the girls" for three but as self-adver~ fisement is not in their curriculum, it Is possible that comparatively tew people have heard of them.
'The boys' school is situated out-aide the city walls and stands one ridge commanding, in every direc tion, a beautiful view of woods, motintaing and hills. The grounds was, therefore, great when it was seen to be stocked with large quan—tities of toys, book-shelves, photo frames, towel-racks, etc, all beauti fully' finished and painted. The toys were of the same type which one sees so often just now'in England, usually in shops which call themselves "Ye Artes and Craftes" or "The Mary Anne Handicrafis" and which, presumably because they have Ye Ancient Signpost hanging outside, feel justined in chargny at Toast 2/8 for the cheapest article. The school wares range roughly from 20 cents to 40 cents and in the case of the toys, % bird flap its themselves are large and attractively laid out in a series of lawns border-by flowering shrubs around which are placed the various school buildings. These are all in neo Chinese style, of grey brick with black tile roots and all are single storey with the exception of the main dormitory. The central build~ ing faces the entrance gates and comprises the Big Hall, Library, Studio and some of the class-rooms dormitories, a laboratory,—carpenter's shop, ete, wings and moves its head and tail while running along on wheels, it is clearly worth 20 cents more than a rabbit which can merely run.
