Mr. Cameron Forbes Suggests Methods of Correction New York, Sept. 24.
Three methods of correcting "the glaringly inferior" facilities for handling of Chinese-American business were recommended to-day by Mr. W.
Church, off Thibet Road, on Saturday afternoon, when shoe polish, brushes, pieces of cloth, etc, were distributed among twelve' candidates instead of the customary diplomas. The occasion was the graduation of the first class of the Chinese Christians School for Bootblacks, and practically every 'Guest who' waited for a demonstra. tion by the graduates left with bright, and shining shoes.
The ceremony began at 230 pin, appropriately with the singing of the Cameron Forbes, chairman of the hyma "Work, for the Night Is Coming." which was followed by a prayer for the success and happiness of the trained shoe-shiners.
The Rev. Frank Yeh, who presided. told the gathering how he had been impressed by the proficiency of the bootblacks in the United States. His) memory was refreshed recently when the question was pressed on him how to find work for the unemployed. Hence the school.
