Summing up his observation, Lord Havelock said that each thousand dollars England had spent upon her missions had brought a return of a hundred thousand dollars through her commerce.

Hitherto the interior of China has been closed to English merchants.

To that dark land, therefore, England has sent 200 teachers whose homes are centers of light and inspiration.

When two-score years have passed English fleets will be taxed to the utmost to carry to China, as now to India, her fabrics of cotton and wool, her presses, looms, sewing-machines, her pictures, her libraries.

In giving of her wealth to found these destitute schools England will save it a hundred-fold and find new markets among 300,000,000 people.
Sacrifice is also the secret of influence.
