Mixed Chinese teaching tale at Philadelphia zoo lesson
A Philadelphia charitable effort by Mrs Brownlie educates Ying Lee, a young Chinese pupil, through a language lesson at the zoo. The tale recounts misinterpretations of animals, the method of instruction, and the reactions of bystanders in a historically framed city scene. The piece also shifts to a Mississippi memory of Jim Anderson and a woodcock hunt and a brief vignette of Miss Vanderbilt’s modest attire in high society.
