Opis: A Little Journey to China - George Marian M.

Excerpt from A Little Journey to China: For Intermediate and Upper Grades

Why should we visit what is regarded as the most unprogressive people in the world Is there anything about China to interest or instruct us Shall we find many things that are strange or wonderful Let us see.

China was a nation not less than 5,000 years before the United States was born.

She has a language whose alphabet consists of 25,000 to 50,000 characters, not less than 3,000 to 5,000 of which a pupil must learn before he can read.

A printing press was in operation in China one thousand years before John Gutenberg, of Mentz, made permanent the revival of learning in Europe by his valuable invention.

Her libraries contain volumes from three thousand to four thousand years old.

There were schools and academies in China two thousand years before the Christian Era.

Her people constitute more than one-fourth of the human race, and her territory includes more than 2,700,000,000 acres of ground, or 350,000,000 acres more than the United States, and nearly 200,000,000 acres more than the whole of Europe.
