Customs Restrain Ardor Of Chinese Swains-Harry Lee
Young Men in East Have Difficulty in Meeting Girls of Their Choice
Kissing is something which the Chinese "miss out on," to use the phrase of Harry Sun Lee, a Chinese student of the University, in an interview this week. Mr. Lee lives at the University, an association of foreign students.
"A date for the Chinese boy with a Chinese girl is usually not even a library date," he said with a smile. "Relations between the two sexes throughout China are more or less constrained, much more than in this country. If a man wants to court a lady, he asks the consent of her parents and a formal introduction is absolutely necessary."
No Co-education
As for education, there is little coeducation in the Chinese schools, he said, although the men are awake to the needs of the country and are grasping every opportunity offered for the advancement of their schooling. Women have not yet achieved that freedom of expression and equality with men that is the privilege of the American women. China is bound up with it, and has honed by custom and tradition which dates back to hundreds of years before Christ, he said, and it is difficult for the people to throw off this self-imposed yoke and to conform to western ideas of civilization.
"Westernization has really injured China as a whole as much as it has helped it," asserted Mr. Lee, "The introduction through India by the English of the opium trade has hurt its economy, and to prevent England from being drained of all its silver, English merchants resorted to exchanging opium for silks and teas. The Chinese readily took up the habit of smoking the stuff, and as a result we fought the Opium Plague with the French in 1842, forcing the Chinese had used opium only in the preparation of medicines.
Foreigners Introduce Tobacco
Foreigners Introduce Tobacco "Tobacco was also introduced into China by foreigners. Now the poorer classes grow their native tobacco; it is of a much cheaper grade than that of this country. The country, of course, is agriculturally rich and has a very intensively. But China is possessed of a great wealth of resources, and in time the whole world will come to China for it."
Mr. Lee handed the interviewer a Chinese book on Confucian philosophy. What Americans consider the back cover of the book was marked with symbols designating the title. The first page of the text was what is the last page of an American text. The contents were arranged in narrows and the reader, explained Mr. Lee, must read from right to left.
"Confucius did a great good to the Chinese in his exposition of the great principles of human conduct," continued the Chinese student. "Bahalim has a great hold upon the people of China and is a model of a selfish religion. Christianity is an unselfish one; it is more of a social gospel."
They Eat Dessert First
They Ent Dessert First
A few of the peculiarities, differences between the conduct of Eastern and western civilized peoples, which Mr. Moore always eat their dessert at the dinner table first; a salutation consists of a bow of the head, no outburst of affection—the Chinese are, for the most part, an unemotional people; they always wear white at a funeral service.
The five provinces of China all write written language. It takes from three to four years for a foreigner to learn to read and write the Chinese language, and from two to three to learn to talk it, according to Mr. Lee.
Student Laundry Cases Go to All Parts of U. S.
Judging from the number of laundry cases that are sent through the University branch postoffice, a large percentage of the students send their laundry home for "mamma" to do. The clerk in charge of the office says that on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, there is an average of about twenty or thirty cases a day, while on Mondays and Fridays, the number reaches as high as eighty ninety.
The cases are sent all over the state, and some go to Colorado, Missouri, Texas, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Nebraska.
Entomological Collection Now in Spooner Library
The display of brilliantly colored insects which appeared in the hall of Spooner Library Wednesday morning is part of the famous Francis Huntington Entomological collection Most of the butterflies come from the
The show case in the library hall is maintained for educational exhibits from the various university' departments. Last year it was occupied first by an exhibit from the department of Romance languages, and later by a collection of rare books from the library. This year, the entomological display has been lent for a short time.
Sunspots Exercise Effect On Rainfall, Says K. U. Professor
Enact Relation is Not Completely Known to Science
That rainfall and apsuris are connected, but not directly, and that the relationship is due to an unknown common cause, is the conclusion reached by Prof. Dismone Alter, of the department of astronomy, in an article in the University Science Bulletin for July, which has just been received from the state printer. The conclusion is the result of extensive study following a preliminary survey of the facts some time ago.
This number also contains several other scientific articles. Donald N. Medieras, gr, and Alexander Marble are authors of "The Size of the Thyme Gland in Relation to the Size and Development of the Foetal Pig. Studied in a Varied Range of Stages." The remaining articles are by F. B.
