  NOTE.—Anju is on the great highroad which runs the length of Corea, chiefly near the west coast, and is 50 miles north of Ping-Yang and southeast of Wiju, on the Yalu river. The Ching-Chong river is the northernmost large stream in Corea at the west side of the peninsula, flowing parallel with the Yalu and about 70 miles from it. Just south of the river and parallel with it runs a high mountain range from the west coast to the center of the peninsula, with only one good pass through it, at Souk-Chyon, by which passage is made between Anju and Ping-Yang. These conditions make the line of the Ching-Chong a particularly strong one strategically, and may serve as the first great line of Japanese operations in Corea.

  THE most conspicuous example of a single gift to modern education in China by an individual is that of Mr. Yeh Ching-chong of Shanghai. Himself a man of humble origin and scant education, he came from Ningpo (Chinhai) to Shanghai in his youth and shared in the splendid prosperity of this rapidly developing city. His firm of Ching Chong on Broadway opposite the Old Dock is one of the oldest and largest local dealers in iron, wood and general shipchandlery. […] He left an enthusiastic supporter in the person of his eldest son, Mr. Yeh Sung-ching, who added another Tls. 100,000 to his father's gift and thus made possible the completion of handsome buildings without the necessity of withdrawing too much money from the permanent endowment. The school was opened in February, 1901, and was called the Ching Chong Primary School by the son in memory of the name of his father.
