Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Brief Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Language
The series of articles put together in this Handbook were originally published in the Chinese Recorder. They were carefully read and studied by the Committee on the Training of Missionaries appointed in 1914 by the China Continuation Committee and some modifications have been made at the suggestion of various members of that Committee. The members of this Committee recommend these articles to the missionary body, and especially to those in charge of Language Schools, for the use ofi missionaries entering upon their special course of preparation for work in China.
This series of articles will make an excellent intro duction to the study of the Chinese language. While the lack of facilities for carrying out the suggestions in this Handbook will render it less useful to those studying independently than to those able to attend a Language School, yet the Committee would recommend the Hand book to the attention also of those unable to study in an organized school.
Signed for the members of the Special Committee on the Training of Missionaries.
