Excerpt from Chinese Lessons for First Year Students in West China

Chinese Teachers. - It is a good rule to regard one's teacher as the authority, in case he and the dictionary differ. But we should keep an open mind; for one's teacher should be changed at the end of the first year, and will probably be changed at longer or shorter in tervals afterwards; and we soon find that teachers differ, often radically, even those who have grown up in the same city. In course of time we shall be able to form a judgment for ourselves, comparing what our teacher or teachers give us with what one or more dictionaries say.

Excerpt from Chinese Lessons for First Year Students in West China

The first business of the missionary on arrival in China is to "get the language". And most missions now allow the first two years for language study. We might better avoid that word "allow"; saying rather that a minimum of two years is required by most missions for language study, during which period no other responsibility is put upon the new worker. I believe that we shall soon come to the point when no new worker will be given more than partial responsibility during his third and perhaps his fourth years, so that he may have large freedom for perfecting himself in the language, and in methods and principles of work.

In the acquisition of Chinese, the ability to speak and to hear comes first in importance; much farther down in the scale comes reading; and much lower still, the ability to write Chinese characters. All four processes should be carried on together, but far the most emphasis placed on the first two, and the least emphasis on the last, at any rate in the first year. It is clear that a word or a sentence which we are able to speak and to hear, will be easily picked up in the character. To reverse the process is like the study of the dead languages.

The principle that I have had in mind in the preparation of these sentences is the supreme importance of the spoken language, as compared with the characters. I believe that we should first study words and sentences, not characters, and not even idioms. This is surely the natural order; for man learned to speak long ages before he ever thought of writing. Neither did he learn idioms first; he began to speak, and when he had learned to write his speech, he began to discover or to make order and unity, and to designate some of his peculiarities of speech as idioms.

But what words and sentences shall we study?
