Deaf Children of China.— There are only
seven schools for the deaf in the whole of China,
and these are not large. Fewer than two hundred
of all the thousands of deaf Chinese children are
in school at this time. The first school for the
Chinese deaf was founded in 1887, at Chefoo; by
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. The
present enrolment of this school is forty-four chil-
dren. Some day we may have a Lutheran school
for the deaf in China.
