TELLS OF MODERN " GHINESE METHODS Woman Educator Studies U. S. Education and Child Welfare Training. With the birth of the new China under the Nationalist government and the adoption of Western methods of teaching an intensive study of American | education and child welfare methods | has been undertaken by Mme. Ying Lu- kiang, formerly of the Tcachers' College | for Women in Peking. | Mme. Lu-kiang is now in Washingto Wwith her husband, Kiang Kang-hu, onc president of the Southern University of | Bhanghai and Peking. Mimne. Lu-kiang was born and educated in the United States but returned to her country when she had completed her education to teach modern Western methods in the Chinese schools. She is the mother of two children, a son, Lung, end a little daughter, Phoenix. Her ; great love for children has created a | particular interest in the welfare of | children in her own country. | Recently Recalled fo China. She has recently been recalled to China by prominent educators there to assist in the educational work being carried out near Shanghai, which it is oped will develop into the great educa- tional center of China. Mme. Lu-kiang says that the old system of ese teaching has been completely abolished ~—small children are no longer required memorize pages upon pages from the fworks of Confucius and the old philoso- phers as has been the custom for hun- dreds of years, Modern school methods have been adopted throughout the coun- try. In many ways, this has been a rxmcuu thing to do as the traditions nd customs of China have existed for 80 long that Mme. Lu-kiang says that frequently great tact must be displayed | by the educators to convince parents | that modern methods are the best. At a recent case which appeared be- | fore the Juvenile Court of the District, Mme. Lu-kiang was an interested bpectator, All phases of child welfare work are of particular interest to her #nd in her visits to the centers of hildren’s activities, the Juvenile Court ame within her schedule. She wit- hessed the conviction of a small boy, ilty of robbing the paper racks on f" corners and Mme. Lu-kiang ex- ressed herself as entirely in aceord h Judge Sellers in denouncing the 'honor box system” as an unnecessary source of temptation to children. “If we had such a system in China,” he said, “I nz sutx:u it :v:uld p;:;: n_{rresistible temptation our hildren, too.
