TO MAKE HIM BETTER Wn Ting Fong Wants to Benefit the Chinamen in This Country. EFFORTS FOR HIS EDUCATION Believes in His Capability for Self- Improvement. TRYING TO STIR AMBITION Wu Ting Fong, minister of the celestial empire to the United States, is everywhere known as a men of broad and progressive ideas. He is now greatly interested in forming a plan for the education of the Chinese who are residents of the United States, and it is likely that his ideas will shortly take definite form and be put in operation. He is anxious to not only give the Chinese in all parts of the United States opportunities for common school education, but to encourage any inclination they may develop to enter the fields of higher education and to engage in profes- Wa Ting Fong. sional occurations, which, he is confident, they are by nature well adapted to fill. A Star reporter called on Minister Wu teday to inquire in regard to his plans for the education of the Chinese in this coun- try. Minister Wu speaks English fluently. “Such plans as I have formed,” he said, “are only general in character. I am anx- fous to see the Chinese in this country elevated in character, and I believe th education is the great thing they né When I have talked to Chinamen in this country I have found them interested in nething beyond the shop. They do not seem to czre for a higher life. Their minds seem to be occupied exclusively in their littte round of daily work, and they jack ambition to progress and to enter the walks of life that require educafed men. I am satisfied that education is the thing they need to waken them into higher am- bitions. A Library Started. “In a general way I hope to bring about a condition under which they can be given opportunities for acquiring good educations and stimulated in any laudable ambition they may entertain. Some time ago a Chi- nese merchant of Philadelphia came here to see me. I asked him if there were any libraries and reading rooms for the Chinese in Philadelphia. He said there was none. I asked him why he did not establish one so that his countrymen might spend their leisure time in the company of books, new: papers and harmless games instead of in- juring themselves by smoking opium and gambling. He went back to Philadelphia and only a short time ago I learned he had set aside several rooms in a house he owned for these purposes, and that these club rooms were quite popular among the Chi- nese. Of course, that is only a beginning. “In San Francisco there are thousands of Chinamen. Only a few years ago the preju- dice against them was very great there, but I am glad that it appears to be dying cut now. The Chinese had no public schools, although they paid a tax which was used.to maintain the public schools of that city. This unjust discrimination was complained of and a number of good men in San Francisco saw that the condition should be changed. They established a public school for the Chinese and it now is attended by about a hundred boys. I be- lieve the girls go to mission schools. My hope is to aid this school to extend its in- fluence and to provide a means for the higher education of Chinese boys who show especial aptitude and ambition. I should like to have an arrangement also whereby Chinese boys can learn their own language in connection with their other studies. How this is to be brought about is the question I am considering. An Endowment Fund. “Perhaps an endowment fund could be established for these purposes, so that whatever is done will be permanent in its nature. I hope my government will con- sent to grant degrees upon the studies, as is done in Chinese colleges. In China these degrees are highly valued, and they are the means for preferment in official and social life. I hope, too, my government will see fit to proyide a portion of the funds neces- sary for carrying out this plan, and I be- lieve the Chinese merchants here would subscribe liberally to such a fund. Per- sonally I should be glad to help it along myself. “Our Chinese boys, like the boys of Amer- ica, are capable of receiving a good edu- cation and of leading lives on a high plane. ‘The trouble here is that my people are misunderstood, and if they have opportu- nities of education I am sure they will demonstrate their fitness for any walk of life. I hope these boys will be educated, and when they have passed through the public schools they can have an oppor- tunity to further educate themselves for any of the professions. If they wish to be civil engineers, lawyers or doctors, let them have a chance to fit themselves for those professions. “My great concern is to awaken ambi- tion in Chinese here who now work all the time and keep their minds solely on the small things of the shop. I want to see their children kept in school longer instead of being put to work at a very early age. This is what I am planning for,” concluded Sesteea! Wu, smiling, ‘and I hope to suc- ceed.” —————o+____. Cheaper Sleeping Cars. From Leslie’s Weekly. There is no question that the cheaper sleeping car must soon be a fact. The present charges are exorbitant. They amount to about 25 per cent of the rail- read fare, and in many cases they are more. The same is true of the chair cars. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but they are few in comparison with the heavy rates over most of the railroads. While traveling the passenger is paying for a seat and adding 25 per cent to his fare in order to get other accommoda- tiors. The total is too large. The com- panies would lose nothing by reducing the prices. They would have more patrons, and in the end the returns would be in- creased and their patrons would have a kindier feeling for the corporutions. Tne enormous income of the sleeping car mag- nates shows very indisputably that the re- road companies who have been hauling the cars have grown poorer. é ‘Wild Geese Came Aboard.
