East Asia Classics
Distributed for Global Oriental
Conducted under the auspices
of the Princeton University Center in China and the Peking Young Men’s Christian Association, this survey contains data from questionnaires collected from a cross-section of the local population between September 1918 and December 1919. The result, first published in 1921, is a comprehensive record of all aspects of life and conditions in the capital–from government, health, and education, to commercial life, recreation, poverty, and philanthropy.
