Writing in "The Chinese Student," the organ of all the Chinese students in Britain, and published in Edinburgh, Mr. p's Lee, Glasgow, says that business men complain of lack of practical experience on the part of the students. How, he asks, may they obtain this experience Some of them manage to get into works or offices in this country, and have, as a result, learnt a great deal. Not all, however, can be so fortunate. The attitude of firms is not always friendly. Perhaps this is due to a desire to preserve trade secrets, or simply to eliminate future rivalry. In some cases it has been due to racial prejudice and in others to an earlier student creating a bad impression. In Scotland, the Chinese have been very well received by the industrial concerns of the Clyde, and, needless to say, they appreciate to the full the kindness shown them. Still there is room for better understanding and more cordial relations. China must one day come into her own, and good will between nations is as essential to commerce as it is to peace. Their duty, he adds, is clear: they must make themselves competent for acceptance, and do their utmost to remove prejudice.
