They have a love of knowledge to a certain point, and a book is prized by them. The great desire of the Chinamen who reach our shores is to learn the English language. They know it gives them an advantage. It is the avenue to success. Sometimes they will become members of an American Mission or Bible-class in order to learn the language.
"I fancy our conversation, if they heard it, would startle the unbearable Marut scandal-mongers," she said. "What do you say to a Bible-class on horseback?" Mrs. Cary's small round eyes opened wide. "A Bible-class?" she repeated suspiciously. Beatrice nodded. "Yes. I have been teaching him the rudiments of Christianity.
However, they really did try to do their best, and were quick enough when they could understand what was wanted of them.

I remember well the school in Leominster and the stories told by Deacon Cotton and others. I remember nay teacher in Boston.
