Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Missionary Herald, Vol. 88: Containing the Proceedings of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions With a View of Other Benevolent Operations, for the Year 1892 In the private schools and sometimes in the government schools the scholars study aloud, making great noise and confusion. At a certain hour of the day they all join in singing the multiplication table. They learn this not to twelve times twelve, as you do, but to ten times thirty, and sometimes to thirty times thirty. Two boys are appointed as leaders, and they shout out two numbers at a time, as 18 times 23 are 414; 18 times 24 are 432. The whole school will repeat the same at the top of their voices, and so on. What a racket they make When you go into a village at the time of this recitation you would not need to inquire where the school is, for you can hear it at a great distance.
