This small pamphlet was written shortly after the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. It tells the story of one of the exhibits in the Palace of Education, of the orphanage of Zi-ka-wei near Shanghi China and had demonstration of some of the most beautiful workmanship of the students on display. It tells the remarkable effort of the Jesuit fathers in rescuing yearly thousands of abandoned children and giving them a place to live while teaching them to become literate in their own cultural as well as that of the world. These children were taught many vocational trades as well as scientific and astronomical and literary knowledge. They respected the rights of the child not to become catholics and did not turn away any child because of religion. At any one time they were teaching 10,000 children in hundreds of schools they operated. I found this pamphlet so remarkable, being a Catholic, as all you usually hear of the Jesuits is how rapacious they were in So American and Western US. These preiest with few helpers literally became the father and mother of these children, as their own abandoned them or even tried killing many of them (the girls). The priest even went on to establish a wonderful library that now houses over 500,000 manuscripts and books of China and the Western World which of course became the property of China during the revolution of 1949. Looking on the internet, the history of this orpahnage has not been smooth sailing with many times it was burned down and missionaries killed, yet they persevered. A wonderous accomplishment.
