The gateway to China :Pictures of Shanghai

---

IS Shanghai the same place it was six or seven years ago, when this book was written? In one sense, it is; yet in a hundred ways it is a different city. The opening of Shanghai as a treaty port is not a matter of ancient history, since it is not so very long ago that the first foreign woman resident died. But how rapid and marvellous have been the changes, especially during the past decade! We sometimes hear it said that the city fathers evidently had no prophet's vision of the future expansion of the city or they would not have made the streets so narrow. When people occasionally criticize the unusual width of the new thoroughfare, Avenue Edward VII, members of the Municipal Council are apt to reply, We are thinking of the needs twenty years from now!""
