Keep What They Make.

Nanking has two educational institutions under government supervision which are worthy of mention. The best housed school in Nanking at present is the Military college, which was built for China by the Germans. The government Normal college has taken on a new lease of life after being closed for several years, says the Christian Herald. Formerly the courses in this school followed the Japanese plan, but at present, according to the professor who showed me around, the whole curriculum is Chinese, as they follow no foreign system, but only take the best out of all and improve on that. No tuition or charge for meals or room is collected, but all students are pledged to teach after graduation, with all privileges of keeping what they can make. As an ex-teacher and the son of a professor, I can see the logic and humor of the latter provision.
