" Let us begin with Master John Chinaman. At an early age he is sent to school; and however dreary or unpleasant any English boys may have found school — 126 THE LAND OF THE PIGTAIL. of course Mr. Tozer's boys are all exceptions, — I should say our school-time was paradise compared with the period that Chinese youngsters pass through.
