In addition to reading, writing, and music, they now learn geography and arithmetic. I have had a whole series of maps punched out on tin sheets, and the divisions numbered for convenient reference. The whole cost two dollars ! The work was done by a needy scholar from a flooded part of the country. He first drew the outline on thin paper ; this was pasted on to the tin sheet, with the drawing next to the tin. The lines thus reversed showed through suflSciently to guide the punch; thus they app...ear on the other side of the tin in raised out- line, suitable for the blind pupils to finger." The arithmetic lesson is wholly mental, and is taught by means of a memoria technica utterly perplexing to the foreign mind, but to the Chinese wondrously simple. Mr. Murray gives out long sentences, of which each word has a re- cognized equivalent in figures, and on the following day, solely firom memory, the boys or girls give the result in a long, accurately worked-out sum— perhaps in compound multiplication.
