LEADERS FOR CHINA
A carefully-selected group of sons and daughters of high chiefs in the border provinces, of . China are now undergoing training at a school in Nan-" king. Many of them are princes and. princesses of Mongolia. The school, was established about seven years ago; and from various parts of Tibet and! Mongolia, Sjnkiang. and Chinghai, places so remote that the average Chinese knows of them but vaguely,; came these children of many tribes; The Mongols,., and the Tibetans, esipecially; the latter, are numbered, among the world's most backward people. Because of centuries of self-; enforced seclusion, they are ignorant of the ways of the modern world, but fundamentally they are highly intelligent. The Mongols and the Tibetans realise their shortcomings; so when the institute was established in 1929 the highborn parents of these remote parts gratefully sent their children ,tq Nanking. They hope that their young^ people will return to their native lands as able and intelligent leaders, capably of introducing the needed reforms, among their people. i
