John Dewey : Lecture in Tangzha, Nantong. Zhang Jian introduced him to the audience : "Dr. Dewey is among the few foreign experts who have an in-depth understanding of China's current political and educational situations. Since Nantong is geologically isolated from large cities, it is truly a precious opportunity for us to witness the doctor's elegant demeanor and hear his speech. His insights will keep us in pace with the new trend in society. America is the first country to have successfully incorporated philosophy into politics and education in modern times. Its republican system is a good example for China. Today we're honored to have Dr. Dewey to enlighten us with the past and the present of American politics and education."
On the evening Dewey started for Jiaxing.
